Yes.. You should know what it is if you entered this thread.

Anyway, I'm interested in making my own Octagon, just to try it out. Maybe it's gonna make my footwork better.

How big would you say it is? I can't tell how big it is on the videos. You could refer to feet. like 8' x 10' or something like that.

an octagon is where you do sets in an area the shape of an octagon. not sure how big its suppose to be but it helps you finese your footwork and some powermoves cuz you post to contain your set within that octagon imo as an alternative you can dance in tighter areas where it forces you to be cleaner and more careful. you'd be surprise how much of a diff. it makes

well in this vid he says that's its 2,5 meters, but I dunno because at the first octogon holland it was 2 meters, so I dunno if that's changed. it's either 2,5 meters or 2

Suit yourself, you can make it big and make it smaller over time.


real hip hop is all about the scene and the community. you can't do it by yourself. hip hop is social.
