Basic Conditioning: Week 1 of 4
There is no better substitute than practicing the move or step itself although you can shorten your learning time whilst reducing the risk of injury.
For the acquisition of many moves, movement and steps, your body will find it easier by being fit and familiar with similar tasks.
Conditioning as a Bboy is now a massive part of my training as it allows me to make faster progress in my dance especially during times where it's hard to find training space. I started really taking my 'strength & stability' seriously after my injuries became too frequent which was preventing me from taking myself to a higher level.
If you give some of these a try for a week or two, I'd love to know how your body feels when dancing. Let me know in the comments section or message me on some of my other social media platforms. I truly hope this is helpful for those just starting out and fun for those who fancy a challenge!

Be advised:
As a Bboy or Bgirl, dancing in this style (Breakin’ / Breakdance) comfortably can take time, hard work and discipline. Harder moves should not be attempted until you master your ‘Basics’ in Toprock, Footwork & Freezes. Make sure you attempt these tutorials in an open space, I am not responsible for any acquired injuries, muscle soreness or any broken furniture. Please be aware of your surroundings and your body at all times. Should you require any further assistance you can email me about a working or private lessons.
Before you practice:
1. Get your heart rate up: Always take your time to warm up your entire body.
2. Mobilize your joints and muscles transitioning into a light stretch
3. Optional but recommended mild conditioning of the muscles surrounding the Wrists, Shoulders, Knee, Ankles, and most importantly, Core.

[@ahmedshah1548]

I’m that kind of person who has not commented on any of the several thousands of videos I watched in the last decade. I really got to say this video is the most important asset a beginner bboy who has just started can get on KZbin. I swear all other people are teaching so called beginner moves that a beginner can never do without first learning what you told the real basics. Until the body is not capable of doing something no matter how hard working you are it’s just not possible. I just want to say I love you and your channel because from where I come there’s not a single public place where one could learn all this so the best teacher I can get is you also new sub here yo 😋

I have questions about this Tutorial: How many times at week i shuold do this exercises? What if I dance every day? I should make this exercises after training or give a break? And my last question: which typep of this exercises i should make? All of them?

[@AJ47SoulMavericks]

djodak7 sorry for the delayed reply. If you're training breakin' everyday then it's best to train different things on different days. At least one rest day a week is advised. You have choices as to when, the really intense exercises you can perform after training but you'll require appropriate nutrition to recover so you can train again the next day. Personally I tend to do core and shoulder exercises in the mornings and will then train breakin' later on in the day then do intense exercises afterwards followed by a healthy meal or protein shake straight after. Core I feel it possible to train every day, shoulders on the other hand may require a rest. Hope this answers your questions, message me if you have any more 😉

[@AJ47SoulMavericks]

djodak7 perform the exercises that fit your desired training goals. All will help yes but choose those that fit your future vision of the bboy you'd like to become 💪🏼

[@squib9367]

Question; How long did it take you to reach your current skill level, and during that period, how intensely did you train? Edit; I mean the actual dance moves themselves, not physical strength. :)

[@AJ47SoulMavericks]

It's hard to say in terms of time wise, as of 2018 been breakin' 14 years. You have to factor in the times I was injured, times I didn't have the correct information of 'how' to learn a move properly and of course the times when I'm training super intensely and the times I'm not. My crew ultimately were fast tracked in our beginnings. So we got good rather quick at the time. I'll make a full video on this story soon but the meat of is that we were trained by DJ Renegade & Storm (partly) to be the best crew in our country and represent the United Kingdom at an international level. So we've always had this format and crew culture of intense training at the heart of what our crew is about. I think it's fair to say very, very intense. Luckily in our beginnings we had Bboy's like Mouse (and many others, past and present) in our crew who were a huge part of our early development which has continued in the form of younger members who have taken the crew name ever further like Sunni and Terra. So we've always had this "must work hard because we ain't getting smoked." attiude in the beginning. More on this later in a video with some old footage I think. Mavericks has always been about training with a goal in mind "battles."
