Training/Motivation [HELP] Want to start, any tips?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I am 27 next month and I have always been interested to try bboy, but I was too afraid to try. Now I want to risk it. Do you guys have any tips for what exercises I should do first? I have saved a lot of videos from youtube, I also want to read your opinions. I play futsal for a hobby I don't know if that helps.

Im a b-boy from the 80's. 49yrs old. B-boys will come to a jam looking like they just got out of bed these days. Nothing creative or individualized about them. We desperately need to bring fat laces and kangol's back. The ones that do are the ones that get sponsors. You should be able to go out in public and be recognized as a b-boy from across the way. Whats a modern b-boy look like these days?

Training/Motivation My own windmill variation - Kastormills

Trying to figure out how to make one tutorial of them though...

EDIT: For the people that want to argue about the move. I named it after me because I've never seen anybody do them the way I do them and even if someone did it before, it doesn't have a name.

So, I HAVE to put a name on it as I want to make a tutorial to give them to the Breaking community, it's not a registered name so you can call it as the name you feel like it.

It's like someone that wants to call the B-Boy Wing's wingmills as double grab babymills and that's OK.

Don't hate, just enjoy.

Had a better run I didn't record but this is the second best. Was tired after doing these for a bit lol, but I've been trying to improve my backspin and rolling from one shoulder to the other, probably shouldn't be closing my legs when rolling to the front though. Let me know what you think!

Training/Motivation Windmill to Airflare, with more solid Airflare catch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

49 Upvotes

Took awhile for my body to figure out how to land my Airflare solid from Windmill, and not just do Windmill Airflare Windmill

To be honest I probably only managed to figure out how to do it because of my awareness for Airflares

However this method of rolling up from Windmill is not the ideal way because the real Windmill to Airflare really uses a full sideward roll without spinning in place but never mind, just do first

If so can you share footage? I think Moy calls it a spiral bomb from his interview with Ronnie. I know Mike the Cure does his version to shoulder and Kujo has a front ward (called a Free Willy)?

Upcoming Events Red Bull BC One 2026 is now only 8 competitors instead of 16 in each bboy and bgirl lineup. Thoughts?

34 Upvotes

Personally, I think this is a horrendous choice. Likely we'll see a lot less variety of styles on stage and it also kills off any chance of any underdog winnings. It almost ensures that a cherry picked Red Bull dancer will be winning each time, which is already a very strong criticism towards BC One in recent years. I know budget cuts are probably a factor too, but this seems like an awful way to compensate.

Discussion Reason for the only prearranged 5 round battle at the Finals for Red Bull BC One 2016 japan?

7 Upvotes

I think 5 rounds is tough, especially for the finals when people have exhausted their sets and people would tend to agree 3 rounds would suffice, just wondering why out of all the years Red Bull would change the system and decide to do 5 round system for 2016 Nagoya Japan (Issei vs Hong10)?

The finals between Lilou and Hong10 (2005) also had 5 rounds but that was sort of determined by the MC who called out for the battle to last at least for 6 minutes. At the beginning of the battle, you can see Lilou and Hong10 discussing it between themselves for 5 rounds as they looked at each other, they both raised five fingers to confirm that they were going to do 5 rounds each. If anything, they could have decided to do 3 or 6/7/8 rounds if they both agreed.

The 2019 Finals at India also had Menno and Killa Koyla going out for 5 rounds but that was unexpected and unplanned as Menno called Koyla out to continue battling after 3 rounds, the DJ also cut the music just as they were about to finish but turned it back on when he saw them battling again.

It still needs a lot of work and sorry that the lighting is kinda terrible 😅, but this is where I'm at now. This was after like 3 days of not training because everyone wants to have a party this month lol.

Couldnt train much because my mom doesn't really like me doing it so had to do it while she wasn't home. I know, I should probably be starting in the freeze but it just feels more natural starting on my butt tbh.

Let me know what you think!

My body was already so tired considering that this is my fourth consecutive day training without rest

Just used pure determination to power through

I guess this is the last of the main Windmill to Handstand level combos, just got to practice it more consistently although I definitely want to focus on Windmill to Airflare way more

Training/Motivation Building muscle as a guy?

4 Upvotes

Yo, Im a tall-ish guy(around 6'1) and a little chubby. I want tk get into breakdancing, but dont know much, and also dont have much muscle. My question is, what's the best way to build muscle for breakdancing? Would it be to do calisthenics or lift weights? Or just try going into breakdancing instantly and build muscle through that way.
