I guess by real I mean, is the video description just some semi-imaginary idea the breakdancing community spreads as reality or is there a known style w/ some lineage of some sort (effective or not) known as 'jailhouse rock' aka '52 blocks' aka BBOY slapfighting?

Video Description:
A video By Ynot and Mr. Wiggles during our trip to Taiwan. This is STRICTLY FOR DANCE!! Wigz demonstrates BBOY Hand-styles inspired by Original Jailhouse Rock. New York Street Fighting has been Embedded in BBOYIZM and ROCK DANCE since the late 70's. Mr Wiggles Learned these styles as a Bronx Youth by way of Slap Boxing. Cats would come out of Rikers Island (prison) and Spofford (correctional Facility located near wiggles home.) With New improved Hand Style and test there skills against other street pugilists in the Parks, Schoolyards and Street Corners of NYC.
Some Hand styles were defensive, some Offensive, others were like new improved Bolo Punches used to confuse the opponent and look cool while knocking'em out!!!
yes its real
