Crappy First Dragonfly Twists

[JKT6]

I'd call them btwists, but good going

@angrymuffin123 hi alex, funny seeing you here, lets try these in class next time.

Rise against in background [^.^]

i landed these before my btwist too. it helps with height before the actual twist. btwist is a jump and twist all in one. the dragonfly is more height then quick turn away. try learning a hyper butterfly kick (540 butterfly kick instead of a 360) it will accelerate your lift as long as you jump good and helps you get a clear and solid kick before yer turn.

nice

I love the song! =D

[angrymuffin123]

so is this basically a stalled b-twist?

[Maddaveman]

@angrymuffin123 Not really

It's SUPPOSED to be a butterfly kick snapu. Basically you do the butterfly kick, do an accentuated round house kick to a target in front of you, and then twist.

These are crappy because I didn't really kick.

[angrymuffin123]

@Maddaveman oh thats pretty sick. i should look into this

[fatguyslim]

Dude dragonfly twist involves kicking the person in front of you and spinning away from him. This is not even close to dragonfly twist and the trick is not easier than btwist it's much harder!!!

[Maddaveman]

@fatguyslim

crappy

first

dragonfly twists

and whether something is hard or easy is relative to the person. This is almost a year old, and dragonfly twists are still easier for me to do well than butterfly twists.

Please think globally before offering not-so-constructive criticism.

@Maddaveman i apologise mate I was just trying to point out that there is a kick involved before you twist that's all. From where I see it this is a stalled btwist and I even find these hard to do, so I am not an expert. I hope you understand where I am coming from. Cheers

@Maddaveman i remember onnce dave you told me to learn dragonfly twists to help me with b twists because some people havent the b twist "gene"

i cant b twist but i can almost do a dragon.. twist

thanks:)

[gobalr]

this is what i thought b-twists where suppossed to look like. now i know that my b-twist attempts are actually dragonfly twist attempts... thing is, i dont really see the round kick, just the b-kick gyro.

[Maddaveman]

@gobalr that's why they're crappy haha

[fatguyslim]

You are right mate it is actually more powerful than b-twist and yes guys it's a dragonfly twist!!!

[CaptainRed]

Dragonfly Twists look like a butterfly kick set-up to a roundhouse kick, followed by a corkscrew.

[Maddaveman]

@CaptainRed You just said exactly what I did in the description of the video -__-

except that it's definitely a butterfly twist, not a corkscrew

[CaptainRed]

@Maddaveman Well I seriously thought it looked like a cork at the end for some reason. I have no idea why now because looking at it you're absolutely right about it being a butterfly twist after the b-kick round. Weird...not sure why I said that.

[Dragonkickn]

Nice height, nice twist, but it took me awhile to understand the difference between a dragonfly twist and a b-twist. I think the round kick needs to be extenuated more for it to be something different than a 'b-twist with a slightly different takeoff'.

[bbsfactor7x7]

Kurizu it's not a b twist because he did a b kick and as be was about to land he did a gyro sesshomaru made it up and called it a dragonfly twist found out about it right no and these ones are nice

[kurizu4444]

imo its just a butterfly twist thats properly stalled.

[Maddaveman]

I'm not that one who invented it, nor am I very good at it yet.

Take it up with Sessh

[NinjaBanana007]

@kurizu4444 it is, but tis called a dragonfly twist lol

[CarlK5]

yes rly!
