doubleleg

[Shaolin.dk]

Is there any way to prevent losing your upper body, other than trying to keep it up in a doubleleg? like what do you try to focus on when doing a proper doubleleg?

[J-kob]

I don't know, but I basically only focus on my legs @ doubleleg. Just focus on swinging them thru, the rest comes with it.

You first kinda pump/pop your body up. ABOUT straight up. Then I just think of doing a 360 crescent at the ceiling.. .with both legs. Then I just let gravity and physics take its course.

i had this problem. focus on spoting your target. it works

Yesss.
I really do not like doublelegs that look more like a sideflip than a pop 360 executed with both legs.
Seeing as that is all a doubleleg actually is...

Like someone already mentioned...spot a target. The target should be in the direction where your legs will reach their "peak"....

I agree with you on the sideflip doublelegs, in my opinion the sideflip, barani variation that some people do are not even a real doubleleg, they might look similar but it's the application of the trick which makes it incorrect.

Edit: To anwser the original question...I once thought that the doubleleg was in the legs like the first poster because focusing on them allowed me to land them, after a little more experience of doing the trick I realised that focusing on pulling the legs through simply made my body do what actaully needed to happen.

Set a fuckload with you arms! Start with them above your shoulders and as you step through to take off swing them hard and continue pull your arms through right until you land, torque through the entire trick, if you find you are stalling mid air and falling on your back it's because you've stopped torquing with you arms.

A double leg is supposed to be a kick, like a pop 360 crecent, to be honest anyone who does a sideflip / backflip type of double leg isn't doing a double leg. Why do you think they call it a crescent single leg( right name for it? or single leg crescent?) And not a single leg sideflip? Pretty much just tourque your upper body like you would for a pop 360 crescent, keeping your upper body verticle, and then pike your legs and gravity / physics will do the rest. Just like kami says...i'll upload a double leg....soon.....(searches for videos)

[edit]
Just read your post workerz, i agree with most of what you say except for setting above your shoulders, if you set above your shoulders you'll start getting inverted....just set straight across, it's all you really need, your legs will do the rest.

Do you want me to tell you the secret why I learned to throw a Doubleleg out of several different tricks in a combo?

Some examples of what I am doing now:

Pop 360 > Doubleleg
B-Twist > Doubleleg
Jump Sidesplit > Doubleleg
Scoot > Doubleleg
Doubleleg > Doubleleg

and so on ...

or just Stand Doubleleg ... even without problems on concrete (a good moment to refer to my upcoming sampler: ~ 24.12.2007)

Now the secret:

You've got two legs? Yes.
You've got an upper body? Yes.
You are able to jump up straight up?
You are capable of using your arms not only to masturbate?

THEN ...

My friend ... Jump straight up, take your arms with you and pull your upper body into high air and then, human being, your legs must follow, both, close together, as if they were having sex, a double bangbang, a DOUBLELEG!

Holla Halleluja, if you are good, a Doubleleg is like Sex!

You wanna stay a virgin ... then please, do not try this at home.

lol best double leg tutorial ever

[Sam H]

Luigi's posts make me smile.

You have to look up,
u will never get the rotation if you keep looking down at ground,
except you cut your head off rotate your body,
and join them back.

[nibz]

If you look up when doing a double leg your just going to end up flipping....Double leg is a kick not a flip -_-

[erufukami]

I'm sorry... but if the double leg is a kick..... what the fuck are you kicking? The evil birds that were invading Brazil? I do agree that it is not a flip as well, but we can't limit tricks to kicks, flips, and twists. It's capoeira (SP).... is a planch a kick? Or is it some attack with the ass? Useful in only the battle known as BUTT WARS.

I'd rather we don't attempt in saying, "It's a KICK!" or, "It's a FLIP!".

Couldn't we just say, "It's a DOUBLE LEG!"


UGH, sleepy. Need rest. Work in 5 hours.

Well a Doubleleg is taken from Capoeira's Dupla Armada, which is a variation of the Armada Pulada [which is a Pop 360]. In Capoeria, the use of the term "armada" is letting you know that an armada [which is a spin outside crescent] is being used. Due to this, we can accurately summize that the Dupla Armada [Doubleleg] was thought of as an offensive manuever. The fact that it has evasive characteristics doesn't take away from the fact that it's a kick.

Dupla Armada [Dleg] = Armada Pulada [P3] with both legs together

Hence "Dupla Armada" and not "Dupla Sideflip" :wink:

[NOT Muscle Man]

doublelegs are the epitome of evil


the end.
