Power Practicing - 07-30-2008, 06:14 PM

My friend and I are arguing about power moves
and we want to set up a poll to see who's right.
Yeah. o-o

I mean like, you can work on other power
but focus as in put the most time or something
in one move.

you should always focus on one thing at a time, but take time off from that move to work on others.

I'm saying they're going to take longer to make clean
because you're working on more.
In the same amount of timespan, if you have 1 perfect powermove
and 3 that you shouldn't use in a battle
which one's more effective?

its probably best and faster to practice one move at a time, that way youll probably get it faster. but i like to practice tons of combos, different moves, different variations, because i get really tired and bored of just practicing mills, flares, or 90s for an hour. not to mention how dizzy id get

You're the one that said
you'd do 30 min of Windmill, 30 min of Flare, and 15 of 1990s.
As far as I can tell, that's 1h 15 min.

I think it depends on the individual, what moves you already have down, and the type of powermoves you decide to tackle simultaneously...

For example, learning flares and windmills at the same time probably wouldn't be as effective as learning flares AFTER windmills because the leg action from the windmills is fundamental to mastering flares. For some people they would feel overwhelmed by focusing on more than one move at a time, where as someone else would find it boring to work on only one.

I prefer to work on several powermoves at a time, but I set a priority for each. Right now, my big focus is flares so I spend more time on those. To change things up I work on aerials, crickets, and swipes.

I think the benefit of practicing two very different types of moves at the same time, improves your overall fitness and coordination that you wouldn't get from focusing on one at a time... But that's just me.
