Good flare practice tips - Page 5

i heard when practicing flares you should always try to do 1 and a half even if ur legs drag because then you get used to doing countuious flares

i did finger tip flares today (not finger tips literally but inner knuckles like if you were doing footwork) but it was weird because even though it was awkward start it turned out good :/ lol any one else ever do this?

Stay consistent with what you practice. Plus later when you're doing continuous you might as well do flat palmed flares D: so you don't break your hands anyway

is there an exact height for a "perfect flare?"
is there such thing as a flare thats "too high?"
from what i heard its hips high and legs spread. So is there no limit to the height of your hips? i want to get my flares right.

my form was good before i could do continuous flares.
most people i know had very bad form, but they hit them continuously earlier than i.

Hope this helps.

Wow i thought i was the only one doing this, cause in peoples flare practice vids you usually dont see the smack on the ground. this guide helped 100% like you mentioned in the begging. 10/10 on this bro. mad props.

hello
I need help on my flares
I go CCW when Im goin halfway, my toes fall
I practice flare step by step now and im done with the v position
im at the point of half flare
when im in that point my right toe falls
(after I sweep it under my left leg)
and 1 thing that is on my mind is that I can't put the steps altogether
I rotate my hips but I think Im not kicking my left leg higher and hold it longer

PLS HELP me
TNX!!!!
