generally u want ur power going in the same direction as ur footwork. so if u 6step CCW then ur power should go CCW.

but truly its different 4 every1. like im a natural right hand. but i do air freezes on my left. but i do any thing that stabs with my right hand. but i learned windmills going CCW so that means i stabbed with my left hand. and my jackhammers go CW.
so its all a matter of preference.

Matter of preference? So NOTHING is set in stone for "Rightys" and "Leftys"?

I Air Freeze with my Right Hand... What hand do you Handhop on btw?

[AzNxEckO]

if u are stronger and can hold freezes longer with right hand, its advised to hop with ur right.
keyword is ADVISED...most likely u will go right handed anyways. i would. since after practicing with airchairs and all with ur right hand, its stronger than ur left.

Lol my friend stabs better with Right hand but he handhops with Left.

How long have you been Breakin?

[AzNxEckO]

about 1 year.

[bricyman]

im having the same problem with the direction, haha, im a righty and when i do something in CCW it just doesn't feel right

[bboyemass]

i do alot of freezes and power stuff on my right, but my footwork is ccw. personally, i'm learnin to do stuff both ways now... i've already got most of my freezes good on the left, but i find that as long as you can find a transition to it that looks good, then it doesn't matter which side you do it on. for example, i swipe to the right and found a way to go into it right out of my ccw footwork. you just have to get creative.

one very very accurate way i've always used and recently seen other ppl use is the "handstand" trick. from a standing position, go forward into a handstand. the leg that you kick up with first is your power leg. left = ccw, right = cw

I can use both. lol so what am I..? Ambidextrous?

[AzNxEckO]

yes....u are ambidextrous...GEEK. LOL. u can do power anyway u want, but generally, u want to do it the way ur footwork is. thats about it.
if u wanna learn it both ways, goodluck with that, time and sweat is all u need.


BUT REMEMBER, there is no written rule about bboying. so u can do w/e u want.
