Movie One vs Narumi Exhibition Battle
Last night i witnessed one of the best one on one bgirl battles I’ve ever seen in my life.
Movie One (Lunatiks, Spain) vs Narumi (Body Carnival) At Evolution 4 in Atlanta, GA.
Narumi was also entering the crew battles with her crew and did the crew prelims before her exhibition. Both girls measuring in at what I call “optimized for breakin” heights, (under 5′ tall) are well respected b-girls in the world, and have really put in their time battling all around the world, repping hard at national events and battles both bboy and bgirl battles.
Narumi is one of the best bgirls in the world, amongst many other dope bgirls in japan. Noted, in an interview with strife, she states that the bgirls are treated equally as the bboys, and are not given easy props for just being a girl. She says it’s not good for the bgirls to get such great props for doing just head spins.
Movie One is known for having a sweet refined cleaned style, versatility, originality, and flavor combined with power and foundation.
The girls battled first 4 rounds, and the panel of 5 judges voted each round who the winner was. After 4 rounds it was 3 points(Narumi) to 2(Movie).A point meaning a win on that round. There was then a pause because MC Trixx had to explain that one more round was given chance to see if Narumi was the winner. If movie won the next round they’d be tied and have to do yet another round.
After the next round, Although Movie was still clean and well rounded in her throw down , Narumi won the last round with her explosive 2000, and Movie was just a smidge tired.
The whole room was hyped up about the battle and all attention was on this battle… the crowd went wild for both girls… and I know every single bgirl who was in the room is definitely inspired to push them selves harder.
I’ll do a round to round recap later once i look at the footage. Props to movie and Narumi, two of my favorite bgirls in the world.


Peace,
bgirl Peppa the Hot Steppa
Youtube is having tech difficulties and we’ll get the footage up soon
