THis is a great topic. Here are my teachers and mentors:
OJ
When I started in 94, my best friend and best man OJ started me off. He was the first to get me into breakin.
Curtis Supernaturalz.
When i first started, this huge black guy from a real gritty underground crew named supernaturalz taught me and OJ how bboying is about making up your own moves and style, and using it for battles.
Lego and Stripes of Supernaturalz
They taught me about flow and to be complexed. They said that your style should be so ill and complicated that nobody can bite your style or your moves.
Crazy Legz
Before 2002, a lot of haters in Toronto told me that I wasnt a bboy. THen i got invited to the Rocksteady anniversary battle which was THE battle to be at in 2002. He was the first person to call me a BBOY and told me why. After that I began my journey to understand what a Bboy meant
Alieness MZK
was the first person who ever took the time to sit down with me and the crew in the Bronx and start dropping knowledge. Until today he still does drop knowledge, wether its directly or indirectly. I think this was in 2003 or 2004 after out for fame NY. Until today I continue reading the things he writes on bboying and continue to be inspired by his outstanding unbiased knowledge of the game, its orgins, its evolution and its future
Ken Swift
In around 2004 to 2005, I had some drama with people online about me trying to create a judging system because they said I didnt have enough knowledge to create one. I gave kenny a call for advice and he took all the time in the world to drop as much knowledge to help support me and what the breaklife dream is all about. He continued to send me emails that were like GEMS to help me get a feel of what it was like back in the day in the early develeopment stages of bboying so that I could attain the true essence of the dance
Storm
Every time i see this man in different countries, he continues to drop knowledge on me about philosophies and theories about bboying as an ARTFORM and Dance.
Gizmo Bag of Trix
he has always been an inspiration to me, and just recently ive had the chance to really get to know him. He dropped a lot of knowledge on me about being the only asian in a black hip hop culture in the late 80's early 90's and lead me to discover myself further about why I am who I am, and dance the way I do.

All these people Ive mentioned are the ones who completely took me and my style to the next level and futher helped me understand this dance, especially in the creation of how to judge bboy battles
