We'll see in August! _______ What is Breaking ? B-boying ? What is this movement that so many of us practice, that we are passionate about, for which we sacrifice a lot? The fact is that it is very complicated to know what Breaking is. It takes years of experience and a desire to know to be able to understand a tiny part of it. To understand what Breaking is, you have to be interested in the history of music, the history of dance, the history of Africa, the United States, the world, the history of Hip-hop culture... But above all, it is to be interested in the history of Men. The history that gave birth to Hip-hop and Breaking is hard, complex. The legacy of those dark times lives on today through its activists. It lives on through our dance steps, through our stories. Breaking is not just about the impressive dance videos that are all over the social networks. Breaking is a beautiful world, a rich, pure, healthy lifestyle.

Since the birth of the structure, we have been thinking about what we want to represent, the movement we want to defend and share. For more than a year, we have been thinking about the questions we want our magazine to answer, and the ways to answer them. For this 3rd edition, these reflections are reflected in our way of writing, of laying out, of drawing, of photographing, of communicating. For this 3rd edition, we have identified ourselves.

We are convinced of the social and educational benefits of the practice and learning of the Breaking culture. We are convinced that Breaking could gather many more enthusiasts if the large public had the means to be sensitized and to understand the historical, human and social strength of this culture. Breaking, a discipline of the Hip-hop culture, is a culture of peace, love and unity. However, this culture is poorly represented today in the eyes of the general public. Even if the competition, the accrobatic figures, the battles on the big stages are part of the Breaking scene, it is only the visible part of the iceberg. It is only the visible face of what dancers live every day, the values and the discipline they had to acquire to get there. The visible face of the hours spent questioning and informing themselves about Hip-hop culture, traveling to meet and share, making their own experience to create a personal dance, rich with victories and failures. This experience in Breaking changes the men and women of this discipline. It changes their way of interacting, of valuing themselves, of behaving. You don't need to have the most technically complicated moves to be a bboy or a bgirl, because Breaking is a way of life. It is with these thoughts in mind that we direct our editorial line. The articles in BREAKERS magazines are all about sharing the stories of the activists who make up this world. Why (recycled) paper? To give information the importance it deserves. It is often said that knowledge is the 5th discipline of hip-hop. To offer an alternative to social networks, in which the information scrolls and gets lost. To allow you to take the time to browse our books. To allow you to discover our texts and our photos, as well as the graphics and the layout that illustrate them. Recycled, because we are aware. Why support us now? After these long and exciting texts, maybe you see like us the perspectives of evolution and the potential? We must now give ourselves the means to achieve our goals. We already give ourselves the time and energy, but our economy does not allow us security for the moment. To support us is to allow us to pay our employees, to allow us to invest more in our future productions and to offer more quality and diversity. Why pre-order? Because we work on the creation of artistic works. We collaborate with graphic designers, photographers, journalists, artists to offer a magazine rich in experiences, accompanied by clothing and counterparts in connection with the editions. This requires a certain investment. Being independent, financed entirely with our own funds, we have to control our costs and cannot afford to produce at a loss and to have stock. That's the reason why we produce only limited editions. That's why it's very important to pre-order the magazine and the streetwear that goes with it!
