Exactly how should I practice Master Swipes? - 11-10-2006, 05:22 AM

I can do one legged and two legged continous swipes fairly well. However, I want to take them a step further and begin doing Master Swipes. From what I understand there is two ways to do a Master Swipe:

1) From a ground position

2) From a standing position

'+'

I'd really like to learn them from a standing position. I've seen people do it where they are toprocking and they just swipe right there. It is pretty cool and there is a split second or two where you are totally in the air. (I've slowed videos down and looked at them)

However, I am going to assume I should practice them on the ground first

Anyways, since I got regular swipes down, exactly how do I go about practicing master swipes? What is my goal? (I understand that your hands on the ground when feet aren't and vice versa... I've seen them)

What I am confused about is exactly what do I do different from a regular swipe? (Like I said, I can visually see the difference but what should my body do or be feeling?)

The clip is just a master swipe starting from his feet. (Or if you have the Bboy video sold here they call it an air swipe... not trying to start a discussion)

I'm still confused on exactly I go from a regular swipe to a master swipe? Can anyone help with this?

I know how to do a regular swipe, I know what a master swipe looks like, exactly what do I do different?

Master swipes are a lot like normal swipes only when you do them you push your body off the ground as hard as you can and your whole body leaves the ground
