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.

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! 👇

My name is Rashaun, and I am a self taught Bboy of 9 years experience. I’ve had some mentorship online and in person as I’ve learned, but I mostly been figuring out this dance on my own. It’s my dream to be good at Breaking and to reach an advanced level. I’ve spent years watching the greats on YouTube and Instagram, and I want to see myself in the same light. Last year I had the privilege to fly to Europe on my own for Outbreak 2025. It was a dream to learn and become friends with world class athletes. I never lived close enough or grew up in an environment where I could consistently receive hands on training to become the dancer I always dreamed of. With the Job market being really bad and living in a small town I’m not able to travel to sessions as much as I’d like to. I feel held back, alone, and wasting away because I KNOW. I could be as good as my local peers. My dream is to move to master the basics, create style with my own unique abilities, move to Europe, and visit and train with my new friends, and get as close as I can to being as good as them.
