I think I found the key to master swipes, one of the easoest power moves, and still, they look hella tight when performed correctly.
I don't know if some1 already discovered this but I searched this forum and i found shit so here it is

when in two legged swipes position (ccw swipes) put your left arm next to your right arm. your body should be twisted now.

Now from this position try pushing your legs off to handstand, but don't do a straight handstand. Then twist your body again so you get down in the position like your starting psition, but you should have turned your body 180°

I'll write a guide with pics and stuff once I get the move myself jus need some more practicing, I got it but only with two legs, i'm now trying to get the one legged, until then it's waiting for a guide

Those arnt master swipes. The way you described it sounded like a regualr one legged swipe. Master swipes you go into from a standing position. I'll write a little guide for it though.

This move takes *some guts* because you need to throw your body.
(For CCW)
Stand up straight

Now jump and twist your body to the right and back a little bit.
What should happen is that you body is twisted, getting near horizontal, with your upperbody looking almost at the ground, and your lower body lagging behind a little bit. You WANT this. Basicly its your legs winding. You should only be a foot or two off the ground.

Now put your hands down, continue with a swipe from there. If you do it correctly, the jumping motion will put you right in the middle of a regular swipe.

Well that's what I mean

Only I didn't start from standing position, and it's not very clear

[GraffitiMachina]

If you dont start from a standing position, it isnt a master swipe. Its just a regular swipe.

[Bboy_Majal_]

yes and no

regular swipes odes not require you legs te go high in the air and your body going 180°

but starting from standing or not is not that hard to learn

+ If you do sum footwork and go into airswipes, they aren't master swipes or what???

my biggest fear is messing up my wrists, becuase i know i can mess them up cuase i have once while i was playing hockey and i put my wrists out to catch myself and i ended up spraining. It was out of action for a week or two.

[Bboy_Majal_]

Yeah, wrists are one of the major problems for most bboys

Stretch wrist every time before breaking or any other potential wrist affecting sport

[Bboy_Chopstickz]

really ur wrist hurts? mine it feels fine and i can do master swipes (one legged) like 4 feet off the ground its simple jus practice n tink how the move goes u'll get it pretty soon...bout ur wrist try holding the turtle freeze position, do it about every day and about 1 week it'll stregthen up n it probably wont hurt anymore!

Master swipes are just higher, laid out, and cleaner one-leggers .. you don't *have* to start from standing.

Just imagine a one legged swipe except when you're facing down, your legs are split and rotating like an airflare. as opposed to just bent and rotating over one leg.

This is kinda master swipeish
