Handhop Tutorial- by bboy Reflex

[DrianBoyz]

do i need certain muscle to get hand hop easier?

[koreflex]

@DrianBoyz practice often and work on form and the muscles you need will build themselves

[RangersGottaLoveUmm]

is it possible to over crunch because i always fall down on the crutch back down?

[koreflex]

@RangersGottaLoveUmm well you only wanna crunch your legs in, if youre crunching so much your back is arching inward thats no good, at least for the basic form of hops. keep your back straight, crunch your legs.

[RangersGottaLoveUmm]

@koreflex Can you watch my video tell me whats wrong?

[PoppinTobi]

my arm kills when i do this move!, im like part-islander some im naturally heavy, do i need to work out my arms or something?

[koreflex]

@PoppinTobi its hard to say forsure cos could be heaps of reasons but its likely it could be related to your technique. if you dont catch and absorb the weight with your legs you put more weight and strain on your arms. but hard for me to say, i havent seen you do it

[PoppinTobi]

@koreflex ill try it bro!, thanks man! this tutorials the bomb!

[shuffletoon9]

nice tutorial but do i need first to balance on 1 arm of is it not neccery?

please answer me

[koreflex]

@shuffletoon9 nah u dont need it to hop, i got it later

[shuffletoon9]

@koreflex thanks men and how long did u practice for this?

[Stebbben]

when you hop, is it the legs doing all the work or do you have to use your hands to push up as well?

[TreeOfLYF]

wtf happened to "jump around"? copyright bullshit?

[majikle]

wicked bro! I love seeing how breakin' has evolved over the years... (i used to break in the 80s)... we never did hand hops or hollow backs, and the moves were slower in motion for the most part... nice to see it's still alive and kickin'! ...and "they" said it was just a phase... yeah right!

[kaspatro749]

i tried pullin my knees towards the chest but i keep on losing balance then it feels tiring to move the knees :s

[bboyKapas]

Nice tutorial man !

You really help me allot'..Peace';)

[ThissGuyy21]

People who say they can only have about 2-5 hops....your not doing it right then all you have to do is HOP WITH YOUR KNEES TO YOUR CHEST ITS ALL IN THE KNEES. DONT HOP WITH YOU FEET TO YOUR BUTT. and have control to keep going.

Thumbs up so people can know.

[TheBBoyPain]

@ThissGuyy21 That is nonsense..

[darkrai122]

my arm buckles on my first hop andi cant do any more

[koreflex]

@darkrai122 learn to freeze on it first then

[darkrai122]

@koreflex also now i cant keep hopping i do one hop and them i fall

[Itagaki32]

lol #2 and #4 are the same thing haha

[koreflex]

@Itagaki32 hey, youre right, good spot

[koreflex]

[AsianTheDude]

please give me some advice

wat do i need to do to keep my balnce?

wat if my shoulder hurts?

[itsRyann]

name of song?

[AsianTheDude]

can u give me some tips about elbow hops?

plz

&

Thx U

[koreflex]

@AsianTheDude pretty much the same as on your hand, dont forget to bring your thighs in each time you hop, it will give you better balance, try practicing to different paced beats. tense your legs, kick with your heels. and just practice

[elfpballer6]

do you hop with your feet, your knees, or your hips

[koreflex]

@elfpballer6 kick with your heels, tense your legs

[MrInfinitestyle93]

can teach me lotus hop????.....i can do lotus stretch but cannot do lotus in hand hop form so any stretch tips????

[33jeromelab33]

thx thx =D

[kazama246]

my god....i cant even get into the position for hand hops....i've built up enough strength in my arm but when i try to get that crunch position with slightly inverted hips....i always fall..any help anyone?

[MrInfinitestyle93]

@kazama246 u should try de practice at 1:07.....once u know u can go in to de crunch try to kick ur leg up....when u get into de crunch position don freeze but juz kik ur leg up

[Bboymike14]

2:16 to the end is beast

[koreflex]

@3RIX001 i didnt have a problem with pain in my elbow so im not sure what to do about it, i just did handstands and one arm freezes to get used to being on my arms. i didnt find it so helpful to practice but you can try if it suits you.

[koreflex]

@3RIX001 yeah i was in the mx recently.

shouldnt be hurting your elbow, if you hav like over flexible elbow joint maybe you need to strengthen your arm more

[PizzaKatana]

Hey koreflex, kudos to ya for a dope tutorial! but i wanna ask is there a particular requirement for this? and also should i train a certain part like my wrists,arms,shoulders or back etc,etc ?

[koreflex]

@PizzaKatana well, id recommend being able to handstand decent enough, be able to do a freeze on one arm before trying this, if you pick up good technique fast you wont need to worry much about building up any body parts, unless your unusually unfit or lanky, regular practice of the move itself will get you there, if you see somethings not working right, fix each problem one by one till each part works effortlessly.

and PEACE!

[infinitism]

Wow you are very good, I watn to see you battel bboy Juju from mortal kombat crew(japan)

[koreflex]

@infinitism yeah sure, i would like to see that too, but if its only a handhop battle he will probably destroy me haha

[yoyoandbow]

man what is the first thing that should i do to learn hand hops

[dqman199]

@yoyoandbow idk much but i think u should start 2 handed handstands then 2 handed handhops then 1 handed hops

[koreflex]

@yoyoandbow get comfortable being upside down, do allot of handstands and stuff

[CN1640]

Am i suppose to keep my arm completely straight?

[koreflex]

@CN1640 its kinda like doing the fresno kinda popping action

[666kengo666]

thanks for the tutorial!

It helped me a lot!

[koreflex]

@666kengo666 you're welcome

[undefine91]

I can get like 5 hops oni then i tend to fall.....wat should i do with my other hand when i hop???

[yoyoandbow]

@undefine91 man actually try to make balance with your other hand that means keep it stationary

[koreflex]

@undefine91 keep it off the ground, nah, it can be anywhere, but most commonly its just out to one side helping you maintain balance. as long as its out there and comfortable, u dont need to think too much bout it.

[iiNaRcOtIkZz]

Do u have to bend ur knees cuz I my other leg can only bend to a 90 degree angle =\ (health condition)

[koreflex]

@iiNaRcOtIkZz  you can try to bend as much as you can if its not an uncomfortable position, but if not you can keep one leg dead straight and kick with one leg.

[pureownshard]

does anyone know the song? :)

[bboyflatstep]

respect men you are very goooood !

[A7m7G]

DUDE!how tall are you!?

[koreflex]

@A7m7G around 185cm

[cd32]

have you ever experienced pain in your arm or such from doing handhops to much? Im trying to learn them but i'm feeling pain in my arm. Great tutorial by the way! cheers man

[koreflex]

@cd32 if im really tired my wrist might start to hurt cos my legs get sloppy and dont take the impact of the hops as efficiently, i think its normal if you just learning the move that you might have slight injuries as your finding the right posture and so on, but if they are bad then find out whats going wrong and alter it yeah? :)

[MugenMacca]

Do I need to do handstand before trying this?

[ShadowStepCr3w]

@MugenMacca AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

[2dans3]

[Bboynub]

I have great arm and upper body strength, I also have decent core, and good leg strength. I was wondering do we need to be able to hold a 2 or 1 handstand in order to do handhops? If we do, how long should we be able to hold them for?

Also how long did it take you to learn handhops?

[BboyILLastrate]

How come all of a sudden I'll be doing them and then ill go off course and totally lose my balance..? The max I've ever done is 6..

[handsomeferny]

[Albion72]

Hmm how strong does your arm have to be in order to handstand on one arm? I can barely do a handstand with both hands and hold it for 5 seconds at the most.

[minnabby]

i hit 4.....and that was just luck LOL

[Crimewave9]

hey man can you do a tutorial on how to do a handstand lol

[SeoEricc]

hey i got a question.

every time i do a couple hops, my arm kinda bends... is that normal?

[alexdrocullen]

@SeoEricc yeah its really normal when you are new to the move cause your arm its weak but keep practicing that way your arm will get stronger and stop to bend do handstand push ups with a wall it helps wtih strengh

[bboytryhard]
