Teldon's ABDC Rewatch Review - Season 4, Episode 3: Martial Arts Challenge

About this series: Teldon is going to watch every episode of America's Best Dance Crew to try and see them with a fresh outlook, judging them on their own merits.  He invites you to join him, rewatching and reviewing the shows. Click here to read his criteria and how he is judging the performances. His only request:  "please keep an open mind through out this look back.  You may surprise yourself and learn to enjoy crews you did not like or see one of your favorites in a new light."

What would a season of ABDC be without one of its trademark High Concept, Poor Challenge episodes?  Boring; that is for sure.  True, the dancing may not be that great, but the fails are what make it fun.  Tonight's entry into this Hallowed Hall is the Martial Arts Challenge. Crews must not only perform normally, but pick a signature move from a martial arts style to add to their routine.  They will be helped in this endeavour by Steve Terada from Quest Crew.  He will show them three distinct moves from each style and they will have to choose one to showcase into their routine.  Will the students become the masters?  Hit play and find out! First play the episode, then read the review. Up next: Bollywood!
