I used to breakdance in middle school and high school. I could even do flares, windmills, and airflares. Then I started to party too much, work all the time, and had kids young. My kids didnt believe I was decent at breaking back in the day so I had to show them what was up! Since I'm 34 now and slightly out of shape, I now have a sprained wrist and a pulled groin muscle.......... They still dont believe I was a bboy and laughed hysterically when I got hurt. Maybe I cant break anymore but at least I can still ground my kids 😄👍
"Maybe I can't break back anymore", Nah man you aren't that old yet, you're probably just rusty, don't get discouraged and ground your kids if they laugh
There's a 40 yo bboy here on YT that still has clean flares. He even had an injury before that he recovered. I just don't remember the name unfortunately...
Peace brother! I am 57, and I am an original Bboy from Brooklyn. You just started back too fast. Start again, this time review each move one by one. These young cats got the details down. Originally We learned by watching and doing. Nowadays, I am watching, listening, relearning learning from these young cats. And I am back to enjoying the freedom of flight.
this is a great explanation. I went through all those steps and can verify that this is totally the way to go. Just keep at it and try to force your way through. Even if you feet touch the ground just keep pushing forcibly, your brain will figure it out eventually while at the same time body will get stronger
Hi folks I'm probably the most unusual 55 year old around town, I have very fit body and perform as a part time pro dancer and stripper, I look 10 years younger than my age however. Ive been trying to catch the flares for years unsuccessfully until a few days ago. The mistake I was making that is hardly mentioned is; I used to swing my hips too low and short, I stopped @ 5 to 4 o clock but once I filmed myself I saw the error. Now I complete my swing @ 2 -1 o'clock and I swing higher with more power completing 3 rounds easily. I still need to clean it up but I can now go around. So anyone learning the flares take note of where your hips completes the swing, remember 2-1 o clock or 10 -11 o'clock
I remember trying to learn this when I was younger and fell on my chest and face .-. Now that I’m stronger I’m definitely going to try to get this again lol
Today I decided to practice flares on the floor. Just went round in circles with legs on the ground. I've now mastered opposite leg opposite arm and shoulder mobility is a prerequisite. Currently working on L sit , Seated saddle and splits for additional flexibility. I hope to do clean high flares in a year's time. God willing 🙏🏿👍🏿🇰🇪
@@j.e1806 I used to think things like this might have had a studied origin, but from experience I’ve seen the reverse. People tend to figure out this stuff by just doing a similar skill and then by simply feeling it out. Then after it’s figured out people tend to go back and study how it works. This is exactly what happened with skateboard tricks. People weren’t thinking about torque or moments, they just felt it. (The only exception to this is the “impossible”, but that’s a more recent skateboard trick)
Theodorul I don’t want to be rude but this is how to flare with asmr sorry but I was dying to point it out I don’t want to be mean I don’t know why I type so much I just do anyway who is going to try to flare ASAP?
Karson Mateo man i started like 4 years ago and quit after a few months because i injured my forearm. It has recovered after a few months but i never got back to trying again. Now i want to.
Props Bruh. This was no joke the best instruction vid on flares ive eber seen and I'm 35 and started when I was 13 so seem my share. You include details and practices that correctly and clearly. Great job bboy teach
Hey bro you rock! Very professional, through, and you give self-confidence. A real Pro and a Natural teacher. Thanks I am going to have to give it a try.
ive been breakdancing for 9 years a very good way to get rid of anxiety and also learn insane moves btw be carefull while learning i was learning a way different flare called airflare look it up if u dont know what it is and i twisted my arm in the opposite dirrection at a championship this year ive masterd it so good luck to everyone :D
If you could do a tutorial just like this one with slow motion and step by step for the windmill that would be perfect!! Oh and thank you for this flare tutorial!!
i want to thank you for this video. for almot a year now i have been wondering what i was doing wrong, and now with your excellent teaching and decribing i know what went wrong.
I've wanted to learn how to do flares for a while. I've still got a lot of gym progress to make before I can do this but I will be regularly revisiting this video Edit: I still can't EVEN DO THE INITIAL LAUNCH
Really nice and high flares there in my humble opinion!! :-) I´m getting there slowly but have the feeling that I´m doing it right by looking at your explanation. Cheers! :-) Asier.
Just a trainer advice, if you learn how to do it, IT'S A GREAT EXERCISE! It works on all of your body, specially on your legs, abdominals and torso (and ofc your biceps)
Got really bored while studying and saw a video of someone doing this dance move and it looked so cool. I'm not sporty at all, and I don't know really where to start tbh, but I really want to learn this move someday:) so I'll have to train general strength first haha, because the first step is I need to be able to support my weight on my arms😂 and super cool video and tutorial, really made me want to learn as well:D!
MiSter_JaNn your probably not using your legs as much for momentum. If your just letting them hang than begin to use them besides when kicking from a stab
Do one of these for windmills please. Specifically I think most people have trouble going into their second windmill. I know you have other windmill tutorials but this style is more indepth.
Took me along time to get this down along with the coin toss. Most clean t-flares I was able to max out was 10 without a set. First rule I learned going into breaking was learning how to walk on my hands. Good times!!
This guy is a great instructor. Understands his craft, amazing! Most people expect you to do things after they explain it to you.. but this guy knows where you will/might fail and gives us ways to strengthen and correct it. I will be doing the flairs in a month
I can remember way back to the 80's when I tried to learn this by scrambling my feet around on the floor and getting my arms used to the coordination and immense shift in weight from one to the other. I never actually learned how to flare but could do a full half rotation. Being that I was probably 9 years old and self taught, I think I did okay lol! Not sure if I have it in me to commit to it and learn now that I'm 46 but time will tell especially since I barely look 26. I was also in military style TKD at the time and had learned some decapitator jumping spinning Van Damme kicks lol. Huge shift from then to now but I'm still super athletic.

Thx pigmie for this tutorial!!I hope you can make a tutorial like this for headspins as well as I have trouble with learning the glide:(
I like the manner in which you teach
I’m gonna give this a try
Thanks for making the video
Great video as usual bro. I can actually do basic bboy moves but never tried a flare. Thanks for the turtorial man!!
I’m not learning from anyone but you breh! Your tutorials are awesome. I can dance but I need that edge to get my game on point
So easy... he makes it look so damn easy...
The pros always make stuff look easy. What you seldom get to see is how many times they messed up before getting to that point of near perfection.
Just a trainer advice, if you learn how to do it, IT'S A GREAT EXERCISE! It works on all of your body, specially on your legs, abdominals and torso (and ofc your biceps)
