If you can't do amatw amatw nt 3/5 times, don't go ahead and try amatw amatw amatw nt or in a combo....
basically, if your training amatw nt's combos, and your struggling with amatw's, practice amatw's then move to the nt part....
i know freestylers who are trying tatw amatw nt's, but have trouble doing cross amatw nt.........
I can do amatw no problem, and I haven't really attempted nt yet. I was trying to build a solid basic foundation before going to nt. Like i think that knowing how to get for example atw atw htw htw atw atw htw htw atw atw consistent will make me have a good foundation to add tricks? or am i training way wrong
Although I'm seriously terrible at lowers, I still don't think you're doing wrong. Building a good basic is essential in moving up to harder tricks. But I think sometimes you should try out some very simple no touches just to get the hang of it, like (forgive me everybody in the "hardcore" department) co ATW nt, co HTW nt, and even move on to TATW ATW nt, TATW HTW nt, co MATW nt, co AMATW nt... That will set up some good basics for no touch combos.
About the inconsistency thing, may be you are tired before you start practicing? or may be the lack of motivation at play? May be you can try like this. Set your self a "routine" or "basic" combo consisting of all the easy tricks, like for example hATW - hATW - ATW - HTW - HTW - ATW - HTW - HTW - ATW - co - HTW, and try doing this combo at least for 20 minutes before each practice. Eventually this combo of yours will become consistent, and because it consists of all the basic tricks, you should get the hang of doing specific things, for example hATW to hATW, HTW to ATW... etc. Now it just the matter of more practice to perfect harder and longer combos.
Ahahah, that's why your lowers are shitty.
i love leha coz he just says the truth right in your face
but yeah, when you're training for consistency try not to be consistent at useless stuff like adding co in the middle of a combo
if you want to build strength for long combos don't use co in the middle for consistency practice, co in long combos are almost as bad as breaking combos.
what I do for consistency is start with basic shit 1st as warm up (I don't stretch much).
10(w atw - juggle - 3x atw) without dropping the ball
then increase the level gradually
e.g. 10(w atw - htw - atw - juggle - atw - atw - htw - htw - atw) etc etc....
this warm up/consistency practice usually lasts for like 30-45 minutes. after that I try new combos.
I think your muscles are tired, believe it or not. When you're a beginner your muscles/knees aren't used to moving as a freestyler. Freestyle takes a lot out of you. just keep practicing.
Of course I had days like this. Once I met up with my friends to fs, I was ok at sits that time. when they asked me to show some sits, I couldn't even juggle while sitting...
My muscles were weak.
