EMC Monkeys



You can tell through the EMC style of stunts and flips that they're into capoiera, probably did a few sessions with the breakers, and maybe even trained in parkour jumps. It also shows because of thier choice of clothes, which are bad for anything grappling or ground fighting.





A rather ridiculous part of their style is the way they run, with their hands flailing behind them, parallel to the ground, "running with no hands", just like in Naruto. I am pretty sure that it was narutard inspired, as it dosen't really work and makes running considerably harder. I know, I've tried it.
On top of that they like to mix in gangbanger style with asian tradition. On the back of thier shirts are written chinese characters like "Heaven" or "Monkey"

Monkey

Heaven

However, there's a substancial lacking in intelligence, as on the website you can find a stunt profile with a description of heritage: "1/2 Chinese, 1/2 Cambodian, 1/2 Vietnamese" which erroneously totals 3/2, meaning that he either has an unusual case of polyploidy(too many chromosomes) or didn't spend enough time practicing fractions.
These guys are entertaining, although nothing special. You can frequently find likeminded people training on the gymnastics mats or on the grass wearing "Uchiha" on black clothing. A local UCD group at the arc is shown below.

The only acceptable chinese character to put on yourself is "Love", but only if you kill people for a living.
