The youths who originated krumping, 'Tight Eyez' and 'Big Mijo', saw the dance as a way for them to escape gang life and to release anger, aggression and frustration in a positive, non-violent way. This was an opposition to street violence, which was prevalent due to violent gangster activities. With the cinema documentary 'RIZE' (2006) by the Hollywood Director "David LaChapelle," Krump has spread all around the world. Today, Krumping has world wide influence in the dance culture, but Krumping still has difficulty gaining acceptance by our society as an art form. Primarily, because people do not understand this dance form and its spirit. / EBS -- European Buck Session / EBS is the biggest Krump event in the world located in Germany.
