💎 The Secret to "Light" Footwork
Do you feel like you're "thumping" on the floor? Does your footwork sound loud and feel heavy? The secret to looking light like a pro isn't about how much you weigh, it's about Vertical Tension and Active Hips. 🗝️ The Technique: - Hips Up: Never let your butt touch your heels or the floor. Keep a 2-5 cm gap. Imagine there is a spring under your hips constantly pushing you up. - Quiet Feet: If you can hear your feet hitting the floor, you're "landing," not "placing." Try to make your footwork silent. - The "String" Concept: Imagine a string attached to the top of your head pulling you toward the ceiling while you move. This keeps your spine long and prevents you from collapsing into your shoulders. 💡 Why this is a game-changer: 1. Speed: When you are "light" and stay high on your toes, you can switch directions instantly. Heavy hips are slow hips. 2. Aesthetics: Pro breaking looks like floating. This vertical tension is exactly what creates that illusion. 3. Endurance: Collapsing your weight into your joints burns energy. Staying "active" in your posture actually saves breath during a long set. 🛠️ The "Silent Training" Drill: Try to do a 6-step as fast as possible, but completely silent. If you hear a "thud," you're losing tension. Can you do your round without making a sound? Give it a try and post "SILENT" in the comments if you nailed it! 👇 Next Monday: We dive into "The Power of the Gaze" where to look while you dance! ✊😎

Dance for sick kids
I’ve been doing this dance for sick kids, and since I’m an author I did this song today. And although I’m not an pro, I did incorporate some of the moves I learned from ‘Breaking Foundations’. So since I didn’t know how to tag you on instagram I thought I’d share it here.

Hello Taz, thank you so much for this positive video and for sharing it with us like this. I truly think your kids will love it, their mom is definitely a showwoman:) And honestly, I believe this kind of positive energy really helps people heal faster. I really love the way you’re trying to inspire kids through good vibes and positivity, so beautiful work.:) And I definitely noticed the salsa step you added into your dance too, which made me happy. 😎💯 So once again, thank you so much for sharing such amazing vibes with us.

We were playing around at the end of a jam, and couple of us were stuck on this move… Any advice? I am able to crash safely though.

Hi Rashaun, thanks a lot for the video. Look, all these kinds of moves where you need to lift yourself up and make your body lighter are really about how you use your legs. You need to kick more from the hips so the movement comes from the whole leg, not just from the knee. Here I can see that in the first moment, when you lift yourself slightly with the right leg, you’re kicking backward behind you and immediately pulling the leg downward again. That means you never reach a high enough position to rotate and finish the move properly. The red arrow shows where your leg is currently going, and the yellow arrow shows where you should be kicking it, upward into the air. Once you kick the legs higher, your body should naturally become lighter, giving you more energy and more time to rotate into the final position. You also kick the leg back, fully extend it, and then just leave it there. That creates a huge lever for your body, which makes the move much harder. What you actually need is to kick higher just to lift your body up, and then, once you start rotating into the final position, pull the legs back in again. That way you can process the movement better and control your body much more easily. If you kick the leg out fully extended and keep it there the whole time, it becomes extremely demanding for the body and much harder to rotate properly.

Super, on this video it already looks much better. You’re definitely kicking the legs higher now, so that’s a clear improvement. But you still need to adjust the timing a little bit. Like I’m showing in the screenshots, in this moment, when your body still isn’t fully rotated to the side yet, your legs are already extended upward. You should kick the legs slightly later, so that the full kick upward happens only once your body has rotated into the position where the jump and rotation actually begin. If your legs are already fully extended while you’re still stuck in the freeze position, you can’t really lift yourself as high. That last attempt you did was honestly really good already. So now just adjust the timing of the legs a little, wait a tiny bit longer before kicking upward. That should give you more height, and I think you’ll be able to complete it properly. In the first screenshot, your legs should still be slightly bent. Then in the second screenshot, that’s where the legs should be fully extended like you have them now. But if you already straighten the legs in the position from the first screenshot, then during the hardest part of the jump and rotation your legs are no longer kicking upward. That means they stop helping to lift the body. So instead of creating upward momentum, the weight starts dropping back down in the most difficult phase of the move. That’s why you fall and can’t fully rotate onto the arm.

💎 Save your wrists – The "Eagle Claw"
Many beginners quit breaking because their wrists start to hurt. Most of the time, it's not because your wrists are weak, but because you are placing your hands wrong. If you put your palm flat on the ground like a pancake, all the pressure goes straight into the joint. Here is how to fix it: 🦅 The "Eagle Claw" Technique: • Don't go flat: Instead of a flat palm, imagine your hand is a claw. • Engage your fingers: Press your fingertips into the floor. This activates the muscles in your forearm and takes the direct pressure off the wrist joint. • Slight cup: There should be a tiny space between the center of your palm and the floor. 🧤 Why this is a game-changer: 1. Shock absorption: Your fingers act like suspension for your body weight. 2. Balance: You can "steer" and adjust your balance much better using your fingers than a flat hand. 3. Longevity: This is how pros can dance for 20+ years without chronic wrist pain. 🛠️ Quick Drill: Next time you are in a basic footwork position, try to "grip" the floor with your fingers. Feel the tension move from your wrist to your forearm. Have you been struggling with wrist pain? Try the Eagle Claw and let me know if it feels better! 👇

@Allie Nguyen Yes exactly 👌 You don’t necessarily want your entire palm flat on the ground all the time. The goal is more about distributing the pressure intelligently instead of dumping everything straight into the wrist. Ideally, the contact is shared between: - fingertips - the base below the fingers - and part of the thumb side of the hand So yes, kind of a combination. At first, it’s completely normal if only 2 points really feel connected. That awareness and strength takes time to build. The fingertips are especially important because they help you “grip” the floor a little and reduce pressure going directly into the wrist joint. And yes, some discomfort in the beginning is normal because those muscles and tendons probably aren’t used to working that way yet. Just make sure it’s not sharp pain. A big mistake people make is collapsing all their weight into the center of the palm with relaxed fingers. That usually puts much more stress on the wrist. Think about: - active fingers - pushing the floor away - and spreading the load through the whole hand Take it gradually and don’t force long holds too early.✊☺️

@Rashaun Ellis Yeah 👌 this concept can help with pretty much all hand-based freezes, including air freezes too. The exact pressure distribution changes a bit depending on the freeze and angle, but the main idea stays the same: - don’t collapse all your weight straight into the wrist - keep the fingers active - and spread the load through the hand as much as possible For air freezes especially, finger engagement becomes super important because your balance is more sensitive there. That said, some freezes naturally put more pressure on certain parts of the hand/wrist than others, so it won’t always feel identical. And honestly, technique + gradual conditioning together is the key. Even with good form, your wrists still need time to adapt to that type of load 👊
