Swinging Through

[Spyder_V]

Alright, I will probably get the video later, but I want to know: How exactly does one go about to swingthrough after a Raiz or a Btwist. I tried doing a Raiz > Gainer/Flash combo, but I always landed on my face because I didn't have enough power. Also, I felt as if I stopped a bit before taking off.

I can swingthrough from standing and do a gainer just fine, but for some reason I can't do it from another move. Help me please! r_V

get very good at the raiz and btwist before you start swinging through. When ur ready as you finish your move landing on one leg whip the trailing leg up into a kick. Once you feel the kick has alot of power behind it its all about confidence if you have a good gainer flash it should be cake. Remember its a continous motion thats why its called a swing through! Dont Stop that leg continue into the flip. good luck!

Thank you for being the only one to reply in my thread. I can get the kick through, but I guess it's not enough power. Hahaha if you ask Josh (needs comics), he will tell you that twice I tried and twice I landed on my face when I tried my swing-through. Maybe he can get a vid of that soon haha.

u must get in more upright position after a raiz or whatever, with ur hands spread apart to help u with swing thru....i.e in btwist try to land on ur toes and think bout doin a bridge ( i mean push ur chest out, position of the body similiar to that one in reverse gainer just before doin it) and then just kick and swing thru:)

for btwist you really have to look over that shoulder hard and whip your first leg down for the landing. the momentum should really carry through to your next swing thru move.

nice gmswipe, haha

[Spyder_V]

I tend to have a harder time with btwists just because of my landing. I seem to land too far backwards, so I need to put my swinging foot down in order to remain standing.

Okay, sorry for the double post. The Raiz Swingthrough is the last one on the video hahaha. I just saw it for the first time and realized how bad my raiz is, but tell me what to improve on my swingthrough... or if you want on my sideswipe and my double leg as well.

Go higher on the raize and get ready to s/t before you even land

Will do! I'm going ot go practice in an hour or so, so I appreciate your fast response.

[Spyder_V]

Thanks, I'll change it up today and record it and bring it here sometime soon.

you need to be confident that you will swing through when you do the raiz/btwist/whatever

if you arnt certain that you WILL s/t youl just pussy out

[WildArm]

if u can btwist head height and shuriken kick the end of your btwist it makes it easy thats what gary ip, terada, sess, anis all do... shuriken= crescent towards the ground as your coming down... it raises your body... no i cant swing through yet... this is almost taken word for word from what sess told me tho.

nice 540 hook Mateus

[Spyder_V]

Hahaha I tried again today, and I got my Raiz a lot nicer and higher, and the landing was good enough to swingthrough with, but I don't have the kicking power yet to get over. I go straight down hahaha. Face landing once again.

[Alexx]

haha, that was a nice raiz s/t bail, try some btwist rounds as well, you'll rely less on your second leg coming down to the floor and then you'll eventually change it into a swinging through motion

[Mateus]

thx Alpha :)
to be more usefull..
try to use ur arms more and be more upright after landing

[Dantess]

I shruiken outta my b-twist, I can't actually fix it :P And yes it does feel now that my right leg wants to swing up and through...but I need to get comfortable with Gainers first. I'm still stuck with Raiz s/t though.
