Long Combos
« on: Nov 20, 2011, 08:12: AM »
Hey does anyone have any tips on long combos? Like some good ways to train them or learn them? Or just tips on doing them?
I can do like a 5 trick atm......would like to be up to a 20.....what would be a good time to set that goal..2 weeks? a month? longer?
Thanks

5 tricks and you want 20 in a month? Sorry man but thats not too realistic...are you doing 5 move combos with crossovers? Then it's near impossible lol. Start out by training records on both feet. Get your weak foot up to 3-5 atws and your strong to about 10 at least. Then do some basic htw-atw stuff with both feet and try to combine combos like atw-htw-htw-atw and atw-htw-atw. I recommend you look at the basic outline to start freestyle topic that LIS has opened, it'll help you a lot through the beginning stages. Good luck

Just train your records and then transitions. It's boring but very effective.

-Don't break combos.
-Don't use crossovers to save combos.
-If you're a new freestyler looking to improve, check the stickys in the help and advice section.

I dont agree with u sam, 20 moves would not be unrealistic in a month.

do the following:

start with getting your records in hatw/htw both up to 10. Make sure u got 2 weak atw's consistent too.

then - atw htw htw hatw atw htw atw htw htw hatw atw htw etc as much as u can

if u can do this to 10-15 tricks try and learn htw atw/hatw on your weak foot.

then train atw htw hatw atw htw hatw etc as much as u can on BOTH feet.

also train atw htw atw htw atw htw etc

once you have all these thigns going up to 10-15 tricks do this combo..

atw htw hatw hatw atw htw hatw hatw atw htw hatw hatw atw htw hatw hatw etc etc

you will see vast amounts of progress if you really focus and do all these combos and it will leave you with balanced comboing on both feet.

1 month for 5 moves to 20? Nah man maybe for just a bunch of htws put into a combo and a couple strong foot atws but not a proper combo with both feet hatws and atws...I think 2 months for that, but I suppose if someone trains just records and combos then it's possible. You know more than I do so I guess you're probably right

lol i don't need to say anything other than YES it is possible if you train correctly and yes it is possible without even spendng your entire session on combos

along with what ethan said i found it helpful to train htws and hatws on there own, if u spend a session or 2 on just them try and get ur record for hatws over 8 and htws over 10 if u can u should find combos alot easier, also make sure htw atw is easy on strong, nothing hard but it needs to be consistent as it isvital for combos unless u want ur combos to consist of loads of htws which dont look as nice as combos with variety. also get into the habit of putting 2 weak atws and htw atw weak into combos relatively soon which was my mistake as i could only do hatws and htws so i had to go back and train weak for a bit. if u focus on just combos and records for each aspect of combos eg hatw, htws, weak atws and train often major improvements can be made, if u set a goal its YOU that has to earn it with training and correct training :)
