Quick question about Breakdancing...
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
Look, if you’re 23 and thinking about hitting the competitive scene, you might be a little late to the party—but if you just want to flirt with girls on Discord? You’re right on schedule. Honestly, I jumped into this when I was 18, and within those first six months, I basically tore through most of the power moves out there.
For the first two weeks, I was a complete disaster; I was honestly ready to throw in the towel. But then, I finally nailed my first successful handstand that lasted over a minute. That one win changed everything for me. 🙂
I got so obsessed with the grind that I was training three to four hours every single day—splitting it up into two sessions of about an hour and a half or two hours each. My willpower was insane; I wanted to go harder, but my body just hit a wall. I spent half my life covered in bruises, swollen and blue, but in just six months, I had picked up a solid headspin, flares, one-handed jumps, scorpions, and a whole laundry list of other tricks. By the following year, I started stringing them all together so it actually looked... well, decent.
I never really considered myself a "top-tier" breaker because my style was always a bit messy and unrefined.
Most of what I ever learned, I squeezed out in that first year. After that, the motivation just evaporated, and no matter how much I pushed myself, I felt like I was working my ass off without seeing any real progress.
