KRUMP is an emerging street dance style in the Philippines, founded in Los Angeles in the early
2000s by Tight Eyez and Big Mijo. It is a freestyle dance characterized by high energy movements and aggressive theatrical motions.
Developed as a way to shelter the youth from gangs and gang-related violence, KRUMP, as an expressive outlet for feelings and energy, has now saved multitudes of Filipinos today from gang culture and other dangerous activities.
The KRUMP culture has spread nationwide, with dancers found in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, becoming one of the most prominent street dance styles in the country. The dance style has also provided numerous opportunities to the youth.
Currently home to 4 KOB champions of varying categories, the Philippines is an internationally-recognized strong force in the KRUMP world. For the first time in history and the only country ever to be granted 2 qualifier spots per category, KOB Philippines will be composed of KOB
Manila and KOB Mindanao. Winners from BOTH qualifiers will receive free flight and accommodations to Tokyo Japan.
