ACL = anterior cruciate ligament if you don't know. I'm having the surgery in 2 weeks. My surgeon talked about like 6 months before coming back to breaking but I guess it's especially for moves where I use a leg rotation. What's your experience with this injury especially linked to breaking?

Any crews or groups that still practice near Arlington Texas... I use to practice with the toy soldiers crew at uta college...not sure if there still together or not... I have not break danced in a long time... But pretty sure I can still do airflares..lol

Hello everyone,

I am restarting breaking and obviously want to progress fast.

Having been a breaking fan for years, I have watched a lot of footage from pro battles to amateur training. What particularly struck me is the "ease" with which top bboys learn new combos. They feel light and powerful in new moves while bboys on the rather amateur side feel slower and less strong.

That lead me to think that in order to progress fast, one could try to get that "b-boy body" (shoulder strength, legs explosiveness, core stability, leg control, and so on) with dedicated exercises rather than only practicing and practicing which I feel makes you more prone to getting injured. And then, once you've built your b-boy body for said exercise (let's say flare) by doing flare drills (Lsits, leg kicks, straddle planche) going into serious practice of the move.

What do you think of this approach? (Train for a move in advance as with drills on the Kaio YouTube channel then few weeks/months later go into practice. If move is stuck with a particular step, stop whole move training and drill/gain strength for the step then restart while move training)

peace, look'n 4 bboyz n open sesh in Bangkok, Phuket, n otha provinces in Thailand. 🙏🏾

Like title implies I have them in my arsenal. I learned em years ago but don’t use em much but considering incorporating them more but don’t want to if its gon give me bald spots lol. Reason why I gave up my headspins before it was too late lol.. I do use headspins beanies just for other mill variations. (Tombstone, munch mill, handcuffs, etc) but halo you go onto your head more than those variations.

Any tips for my airchair?

Can anyone give me some good advices of v-flare work out tips??

Does anyone know how to make the 2 floor step? a tutorial or tips?

They were awesome as hell I think I would enjoy the bboy culture alot more if they were still around

Please recommend me Thank you

The hackneyed question of this sub.

How do I make a routine or what is a good routine for a medium level bboy?

What’s the hardest part about approaching practice sessions? Is it focus, is a move too difficult, or is practice a way to escape all the daily drama and just get free?

I grew up in Europe in the 90s and would travel to the U.S. and pick up bboy vhs tapes. To this day I still have them. In Germany bboy and hiphop culture was everywhere. As I grew older I gravitated to painting as a creative outlet. I’ve built a career creating portraits and other fine art but never came back to hiphop and bboy culture. I feel that now is the time for pioneers and legends of the bboy culture should be painted. I have a few prints by Justin Bua, I feel like he has dedicated some amazing works to the culture. Does anyone know of any other artists painting bboy culture??

At the moment, I’m interested in learning flares, so I’ve been training tuck planche. Is this good enough of a foundation to move on to flares? Should I move on to straddle planche first? What do you feel is the most efficient way to build up to comfortably build up to a flare? Much thanks 🙏

When I do handstand practice, my shoulders ache, and I'm trying to figure out why. Could it be because of my weight (175lb), my posture, or perhaps my shoulder strength (usually do 10 reps 35lb dumbbells 3 sets)?
