Me Learning How to Breakdance...

Reacting to my bboy powermove, top rock, and footwork progression. From 2008 - 2013 I progressed with a few solid moves, but some things just always looked gumpy...

Pigmie out here giving you the recipe for success and some of yall still sleepin: stay humble, put in the time, look at the big picture, and FOCUS. I see a lot of cats who want to be successful talk about "rise & grind," this that the other thing, but they just talk. They don't live it. They don't do the work behind the scenes. They want to be successful in terms of "I want everybody to think I'm fly" and that's the fakest, most empty kind of shit you can aspire to achieve. Most folks would delete their old footage, cut a highlight reel of their best moments, and pretend they were always this good, but Pigmie makes himself better, faster, stronger, cleaner because he LEARNS from those mistakes, and he gives it away for free. Some of you asking for the "easiest way to learn _______" and you watch a video of Pigmie spending hours or days or weeks or months drilling again and again and again until he nails something. You're watching him do it looking for "the lesson" and you're missing THE LESSON.

[@Alex-ie3oz]

Best comment, very informative.

[@kds1889]

[@abymondesir23]

daedalus_suzuki u kissn that pigmie ass tho lol

[@magix2862]

True

[@meeeeeee-vr8xd]

Honestly, I'm a beginner trying to bboy, but I can definitely verify that this is extremely true. I asked my brothers for ways that I might get things faster. In the end, it took hard work. Nothing else. Maybe a few, "Hey don't do that, the form is wrong" here and there, but hard work has, and will, pave the way for me

[@KobeHall]

I really appreciate this video. I remember in 2013 I used to ask you for tips and you'd always help me out. So because of you i'm still bboying now. Your progression is indeed a nice one!

[@1joelsmus]

I love the open honesty..but you are better than you think..don't put yourself down!!

[@andrewjuntunen7738]

Bro that was amazing love the transparency...refreshing and also hella funny lol I'm just starting to learn breaking also pretty self taught so it's encouraging to watch someone else's journey

[@MargusMithical]

That, in fact, was a very entertaining timeline. All it really takes is discipline and focus to keep on grinding. You’ve got that.

[@flyinghead1147]

Thank you for being so honest to everyone about yourself. It so rare. Respect and love from Serbia.

[@kurtfrancis6638]

You are an awesome dancer bro. That fact that you can laugh at yourself at times, makes you an amazing person. Love the narration buddy, looking forward to the next videos

[@jonathanmanning5358]

You have come along way on your journey and have filmed your progression to the professional your are today I think you deserve all the prays you get you didn't get involved in drugs or the gang lifestyle many fall victim to which shows the type of focus you had which has to be applauded you are a great role model for the younger generation and hope it may long continue into the future peace and love to you Lucas from the UK🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@4321242]

Me learning those moves in that small of a room, *5 seconds later*, every thing is broken within a five meter radius.

[@mentzo1]

Don't be so hard on yourself, your progress back then was great. My toprock got better when I started to feel the rhythm, it's like diving into the music, but training in a gym with a walls covered by mirrors helped me a lot, too.

[@marcoalbizo1106]

Your commentary is gold!! and the video itself is super inspirational!!!

[@hunterfine5502]

ive been breakdancing for a year and havent decided to do power moves i really enjoy the footwork and style of dancing

[@davidhunt9685]

Just like what Bruce Lee said, keep practicing and when you get it, still keep practicing. Try working on Pop-Locking and Slide-Gliding to work on your flow. And it probably would make your transitions from move to move more fluent. Not to mention it makes the power moves just pop. Still I have mad respect for what you are doing. Go old school and don’t forget the roots of the B-Boy.

[@toaste_dev]

i have just started break dancing and just learned backspins to start windmills thanks to your vids

[@Paddyspalace]

you motivated me to start learning backflips today and well i did it with a spotter but hey the fear is gone and i can jump backwards myself and land on.. my knees.. but now i just need to improve, fear is gone, everything great! all my muscles hurt though, i feel pretty fucked ^^ also nice video, great progression ^^

[@stephenpeterson42]

Highly entertaining, as well as encouraging and inspiring. I see a lot of myself in those early top rock moves. Sometimes you just have to decide that you don't care how gumpy it looks and just have fun. Thanks for sharing this.

Hehe...pigmie's narration is so dann chill. And the vibe is so positive. Love it.

I never got to get one handed airflares as well...so lets get it! You and me 2018, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW LETS GET THAT SHIT!!!!OUR TIME!!!

[@ThisIsVao]

Some how I ran into your videos. Great tutorials especially the flairs tutorial. Year 2011, your flairs were the bomb! The battle at the end was hilarious on how you commented on yourself. Kinda got a Hong 10 top rock going. Honestly your a power move guy. Should do more of a power move top rock so your opponent gets intimidated(Kind of like charging up to go Super Saiyan hehe). Then add some of your current top rock to mix it up here in there. Then you'll look dope. Your dad is sweet! Keep it up.

[@sparkymikey25]

Thanks for opening up to us more by sharing this

[@Nyctorenity]

yooo i can relate to what you said about training powermoves. i started again last year and made this goal with a friend to achieve one powermove and since then ive been training 90s all day and took me 8 months to get a neutral form. i know its kinda of no link but yeah i can feel you about training powermoves hahah

[@lewisthompson2250]

Always loved you shit bro you inspired me for ages

[@zoomgallygally]

such a cool video. retrospective and so so cool man . so cool. no need to focus just look at the rearview mirror and say yeah

[@luiscreates]

Best narration I've heard of bboy clips in a looooong time, haha. Good job homie!

[@danielvincentkelley]

Tip for your 1 handed air flair, check the momentum. Less momentum, more shoulder strength. You got to deep power it, and not at all rely on speed of your looping legs to get you into the catch on the landing. You basically want to do the air flair, as slowly as possible. Hand hops in place would help tremendously.

[@heryang4019]

Dude... I haven’t watch any of your videos since 2013 because I’ve stop breaking but you were one of my favorite Bboy channels along with Bumz Crew Production. You look like a buffer Andrew Garfield now...

[@digitalvoice13]

Wait, did you learn headspin, windmill and flare in a year? I really envy you T_T I started bboying in 2012. I was 16, and yada yada, I was afraid to injure myself but I believe I had more power back then and was surrounded by amazing people who motivated me to learn. However, in 2016 I injured my back really bad from learning a backflip. I quitted right after. Took me 4 years to overcome my fear and learning it all over again is much harder than I thought it would be. Is it because age? Or is it because my muscle shrunk from not practicing for 4 years? I don't know. I used to watch your tutorial a lot and just started to watch it again. This one motivates me and I can't wait to practice tomorrow.

[@alienuniverse3806]

I have injured my back many times slipped discs and all the good stuff, My whole body was so strong at the time being a British champion in gymnastics- I kept training and training as soon as i stopped my whole life changed taking all my strength to just get out of bed couldnt turn my head at all and was stuck in nothingness. I took like 8 years doing nothing apart from being in pain, one day i just thought f it got my enjoyment back started training and with in 6 months was better then ever doing all the crazy stuff i was once doing before! Time to heal with no goals lit a fire up my ass like never before. I also learnt to windmill in 1 hour of trying very happy with myself. Thanks for your story was a great read and hope your crushing your enjoyment and reaching all new levels weekly!

[@bbjune6812]

On your twisting on trampoline, if you wait and go up before you twist you can trip full for sure. On your Cody’s, land farther back on the trampoline and keep your chest up. On your kabooms, go near the back of the trampoline close to the springs and land flatter.

[@BrockArt]

shit man i remember watching your how to head spin video when i was extra young dreaming to break dance. i always felt like i was too weak, totally forgot about it eventually. years later i became obsessed with music instrumentals and began playing guitar, making music videos that go with music, later i started working out. Recently something got me back into bboy and i realize i have the strength and feel for music to do it. then i see this video and im like "Wait is that that guy?"...its like im back at square one but im ready this time. wish me luck!

[@Kelly4370]

'Preddy' Good breaker... Growing up, I learned 'Ol School Style' & was REALLY GOOD at Swipes, Knee Glydes, Windmills, & a lot of "Electric Boogaloo"... These newer moves weren't even thought of... The only Breaker I know of that would have probably been able to learn this quick would be "Flip Rock" of the "New York City Breakers"...

[@yannickbaro7728]

Paused at 8:26. That 360 kip-up I did when I was 14 or 15, can't remember. Didn't know it could be a thing. Got mocked by the other (idiotic) kids becaused I actully couldn't do the proper kip-up. This is exactly as starnge as it sounds. I blank 360 kip-uped before I could actually kip-up. Reading this, I cannot believe ity myself. Really. Still, props, bro! Do it! It's fun!

[@jasonkanokaroke]

It's like you are serious, intense, and focused on the power moves and then you kind of let go and dork out on the other stuff. You are a million times a better breakdancer than I ever was so it is not really my place to say anything. Back in my youth of 1984 I have a record of 3 backspins and if I had KZbin videos back then on how to Moon Walk and Gyro, I think I would have been a little better. You have a lot to be proud of.
