How to Do Bone Breaking & Flexing https://howcast.com/videos/511790-how-to-do-bone-breaking-flexing-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 21:03:25 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511790-how-to-do-bone-breaking-flexing-street-dance/

Transcript

Hello, this is Jino and I am going to teach you a little thing called Bone Breaking. Well not really teach you just show you and you do the stretches and get it yourself, so you’re really teaching yourself.

OK, so here we go. Flexing and Bone Breaking can be dangerous if you are; one too muscled, don’t do it. Two not double jointed, I’m not double jointed either but I stretched a lot, and three if you are not warmed up. If you are not warmed up it’s cold outside you are chilly you try to do it out of nowhere. You should warm up and stretch first because you can get a cramp or hurt yourself, warning.

OK, so now let’s start. So basically what you are doing; you have a whole multiple of different types of Bone Breaks. You have the Egg Bone Break, you have the Double Bone Break to the left, you have the one where you pull your arms all the way back and go all the way around, and you have the one that everybody knows how to do which is the Dead Arm.

The Dead Arm is like this. You are going to take your left hand and put it on your right elbow, bend this one down, and slowly just start bending it down like this. Now at first you’re not going to be able to go nowhere so it’s going to be really sloppy and starting won’t go that far because your bones are going to hurt but the more you get use to it the farther you’ll go down.

Once you get used to it you’ll take it back, turn it around, and do whatever you want with it. So let’s try it again. Remember be careful and stretch first. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, quit. Four counts, try it again this is the simplest ones, mind you. Put your arm behind you. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, on four make sure you pull it down. Four and out. You got to make sure you pull it all the way back, you can’t cheat it because it won’t look right.

Another bone break you can do as well is this one. Basically it’s you taking your arm and pulling it all the way around. Now this one you have to be prepared for because the first time you do it, if you are double-jointed, it’s okay. It won’t hurt as much it might not hurt at all, you probably already know how to do it, maybe if you tried. Single jointed you have to get your muscles use to it and stretch first.

When you do it you are going to put your hands like this, see, see, see. Alright, right on top of left, if you are using your left arm to go out you put left on right. Right on left, you are going to interlock your fingers like so, your middle fingers put like this, make them tight, pull up, when you pull up slowly go back.

Now don’t do it all at once when you first try it because you will probably break your arm and I don’t want you to do that on the internet. So ya’ll do this, until you get use to it, you’ll go a little farther and pull your shoulder muscle out. It’s gonna look like this. Out.

See how nasty that looks? Looks pretty nasty. So when you do that pull it out, the farther you get out you’ll eventually get back here and when you get back here you should be almost there just to pull it back.

Now mind you when you pull it back it will hurt maybe a couple days after because you did pull it out but it will heal and you will be able to do it much easier. So it’s to your choice. So five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four.

How to Do Bone Breaking https://howcast.com/videos/511789-how-to-do-bone-breaking-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 20:41:21 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511789-how-to-do-bone-breaking-street-dance/

Transcript

Hello, this is your boy Jino Fort and I’m going to show you how to do a bone break illusion. A bone break illusion can be slightly hurtful if you don’t know what you’re doing so make sure you do stretch and you have the gist of the bone break/flexing before you do this exercise. Okay so the first one I want to show you is called the bone break to the left.

What you’re going to do is you’re going to take a left or right arm, whichever one you’re comfortable with, and you’re going to turn it all the way around and drop it to the left. Now that’s a very good illusion, it’s very show-stop. It can turn almost any crowd.

So take your right arm, and hold your left for leverage so it doesn’t come out of place too quickly and you have resistance on it. And you’re going to point to it, make sure you point your hand straight as you can. Whichever arm you’re using, you’re gonna point it straight.

So you wanna go one, two, and on three your shoulder’s going to come out, three, and on four you’re going to drop your whole left arm or right arm to the left or right, like so. Four. Like that. So I’m gonna do it again. I’m gonna take it out.

Make sure it’s straight so you have a line and people can’t see what you’re doing, it is not sloppy. You don’t want it to be sloppy. So you go one, two, three, see how my shoulder comes out on three? And on four you make a left. Four. There’s still a line. let’s try it again. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four.

Another bone break move to do is slightly easier and easier to practice with. What you’re going to do is put your arm up, left or right, whichever one you’re comfortable with, and you’re going to slowly scratch this out, it looks like a regular scratch but it’s really not, you can use it as a scratch I guess, but what you’re going to do is put your left hand or your right hand on your left or right elbow, like so.

See how I go up? Elbow, up. Drop. And pull. Now for you to get that far back there there’s a step you can take. You go, one, two, and you slowly just go like this.

It’s like you’re trying to break your shoulder blade down a little bit, but just do this slowly. The more you do it the more it will break further and you’ll be able to get farther and so eventually you’ll be able to take it behind you. Now once you take it behind you you’re going to let go and it’s going to come under your right shoulder. So you’re going to drop it like so. One, two, three, four.

Popping, Locking & Waving https://howcast.com/videos/511788-popping-locking-waving-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 20:39:23 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511788-popping-locking-waving-street-dance/

Transcript

Hello, this is Jino. I’m going to teach you waving today. Now waving is so crazy universal, you can make it whatever you want. It’s not just up and down. It’s, who knows? It’s to the sky. There are different types of waves. You have straight waves, where it goes all the way across your body, including your chest into the other arm. Don’t let your other arm drop or get crooked. You’ve got to keep it careful.

So when you do it, make sure it goes all the way across, chest, arm. Now you have kick waves also, as well. When you do that it goes one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. You can use your feet and hands. Not a lot of people do that, because it’s something I kind of did. So when you do it’s one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

It looks very different and unique, so it’s great to use. So when you do that you have straight, chest, kick, back over. Then you have full body wave, as well. So that’s one that goes one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight, of course you hit at the end. So if you have like a slow song, you kind of take your time.

Make sure you take your time, because if you wave too fast you’re going to look too sloppy. So make sure you go use your fingers, wrist, to your body, shoulders, head. Let your head initiate the way to your chest, boom, go down to your stomach, pelvis, legs. Come back up, pelvis, stomach, chest, head, arm and bring it out.

So let’s try that again. We’re going to do a slow count, five, six, seven, eight; and one, two, three, four, chest, six, seven and eight. Try it again, five, six, seven, eight; and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.

Popping, Locking & Ticking https://howcast.com/videos/511787-popping-locking-ticking-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 20:38:41 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511787-popping-locking-ticking-street-dance/

Transcript

This is Jino Fort, and we’re going to tick today. Ticking is very subtle movements. Moving to the music, but you’re really ticking. Like you’re barely moving an inch a second. So it’s like tick, tick, tick, tick, literally that’s what it sounds like. That’s what ticking is. So when you tick make sure you tense all your muscles up and make sure you’re very tight and tense and you’re moving to the beat.

So an example, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. All right, you can do anything you want with ticking. You can make facial expressions, like be characteristic. Slow-mo with it, anything you want. It depends on what song it is, really. So we’re going to go left, right, forward and back. So we’re going to do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

So try that. Five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One-one, two-two-, three-four, four-four. You can speed it up, slow it down, anything you want.

The thing about ticking is you can use it almost with anything and it’s very versatile to use with other styles, as well. So it’s not just upper body. You can use lower body, middle, high, head. You can even use a hat. You can tick almost anything you want to. So let’s try it with music.

Transcript

What’s up? This is Jino, coming at you with the hitchhike. The hitchhike is where you’re hitchhiking. You’re basically on the side of the road, you’ve got to go somewhere. So what you going to do? Nobody’s going to pick you up though, because these days, nobody’s going to help you. So you’re just going to be stranded.

But anyways, the way you start out is very funky just like locking up in itself. So when you do it, it’s mad. Two, one, two, kick, two, I’m going this way. Like the hitchhiker’s very energetic, so when you do it, do it with a lot of energy. You can do it smooth too, but it depends on what song it is, I guess.

So when you do it, you’re going to go one, two, three and four. So let’s try that again. Five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three and four. You can look that if you want to, for extra style. Four, look, so five six, seven eight and one, two, three and four. One, two, three and four. One, two, three and four. Let’s try that with music.

So JIno, back again, to show you what the wrist twirl is in locking. The wrist twirl is a fairly simple move, but it’s easy to forget. Because you’re doing so much stuff and it is so small, and this is just a little movement that makes one of your moves look really whoa. So pay attention. It’s very subtle in it’s detail, so pay attention.

Basically, it’s just a type of wrist throw. So you’re going up and over, down, under. Up and over, down, under or you do it faster it’s one-two, three-four, one-two, three-four, one-two, three-four. Same with the left hand. One-two, three-four, when you go fast, two-three-four. One-two, three-four. Two-three-four. One-two, three-four.

So try it five, six, seven, eight, one-two, three-four, one-two, three-four, two-three-four. One-two, three-four. Try with the left hand.

Transcript

What’s up? It’s Jino coming at you. I want to teach you how to point. Not just any point though, a locking point. Now what a locking point is very funky. Well, a locking is funky in itself. So when you point it’s like straight, boom, what you looking at?

It’s over there. What? Where’s it going? So like, pointing is basically really fun. Like it’s just so animated. Don’t just point. That’s boring. Like, let’s roll with it. It’s over there. You really want to show your animation and energy of your point. So you want to be very accurate when you point, as well.

Actually, you don’t want to just point anywhere. You want to act like you know what you’re doing. You can look where you’re pointing at. If you’re going over there, hold your head that way. Roll your head that way, boom, boom, point, point, straight, line. Points are all about lines as well.

We can’t just be sloppy and have crooked lines either. Now let me show you a simple routine with points. So the first part you’re going to do with the routine is going to be with your right hand. You’re going to go right. You’re going to look, as well. Right, left, down, down, wrist roll. Put your left foot up.

While you’re doing it, slide forward with your hand open and jump. Put your left foot up, five, six, seven, eight; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight; and on eight you’re going to land. Let’s try that slowly. Five, six, seven, eight; and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let’s try that with music now.

The floor sweeper is one of the main components I’d sat in locking, because a lot of people start like that and it’s a very fun movement. You can have a lot of energy and do anything from there. So basically the floor sweeper, we’re going to go from here.

Now you’re going to get your left leg and go one and two and three and four. That’s the simple basis of the floor sweeper. That’s it. That’s all you got to do. So you want to go one and two, three and four.

One and two, three and four. One and two, three and four. One and two, three and four. One and two, three and four. One and two, three and four.

Transcript

What’s up? This is Jino coming at you with some pacing with locking. Now pacing is a fairly simple move. It’s a little walk, like a little old man walk like you’ve got a cane. But you’ve got wrist rolls with it. So what’s you’re going to do we’re going to bend slightly over and you can add movement too, pacing as well. You can go back and forth and some other things, spin as well. So we’re going to try that, too.

So the first thing you’re going to do is get your wrists like this, kind of whatever foot you want to start off with. We’ll start off with our left, since that’s the most natural one, I guess. It’s like a little step, you’re grooving, you’re jogging. Grooving, hit. That’s as simple as that thing is. Wrist out, wrist out, slide, slide, slide, hit. You’ve got a little movement to it, so basically you’re just moving back and forth and you’re moving your wrist from side to side.

You can do different variations of it, which you can do with your left hand. You can do it with your right, whichever would be more comfortable. You can move it up, move both, lay back. You know different variations. So we’re going to try that. We’re going to go five, six, seven, eight, and walk, hit, right, get your wrist and one, two, three, four: one, two, three, four; one, two, three, four; hit, two, three, four and… Now we’ll try it with music.

Hello, everybody this is Jino. I’m going to show you what the whichaway is today.

The whichaway is, can be an awkward movement, if you don’t know what you’re doing, and just learning it at first is a great way because it looks like you just don’t know. It’s like what is this. What’s this movement? You can put your hands to the front, the back, but the looks I guess is better in the front.

So what you’re going to do is lift your right leg up and turn it out like this, and you’re going to kick it this way to your left. When you do that take your left leg and do the same thing, but make sure you turn it like this, like so and also hit, hit, hit and hit. Try that a little slower for you, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four. When you’re doing it fast, it is supposed to look like this.

Five, six, seven, eight, and, one, two, three, four, five, six, and, seven, eight. Let’s try it again, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, and, seven, and, eight. Now let’s try that with music.

Transcript

Hello, this is Jino. I’m showing you how to do the jazz split today. Now the jazz split is something you probably have to get used to. So I’m going to get on the ground first and show you how to position before we actually do it. What you’re going to do is get in this position right here. You can use either leg. Obviously, I’m going to do it this way, so I’m going to show you this way today.

So basically, if you turn this way, your right leg’s going to be back and your left leg is going to be forward. So basically, this is the position you need to be in. Now I’m going to show you how to get into it. What you’re going to do, while you’re in movement up here, whatever you’re doing.

You know, locking-wise, popping-wise, mostly locking-wise, you’re going to kick your right leg out like this, however you want to do it, out-drop. Now to maintain a fall safely, you’ve got to use your hands. So when you do it go, right kick – you’re going to drive both hands down, right before you land.

So you can land safely, because you don’t want to fall on the wrong area and get hurt. Five, six, seven, eight and one, two. Now let’s try it again. Five, six, slow it, seven, eight, kick and drop. Now make sure you stretch well before this move too, because if you do it wrong, you can twist something or blow something out. You don’t want that to happen to you. Always stretch for everything though, that’s just natural. Now I’m going to show you with music.

How to Do Pop & Lock Ground Moves https://howcast.com/videos/511778-how-to-do-pop-lock-ground-moves-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 20:00:23 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511778-how-to-do-pop-lock-ground-moves-street-dance/

Transcript

This is Jino Fort, and I’m going to show you some ground moves. Now ground moves are very sometimes hard, because you’ve got to get up from them. But if you know how to use them right, you can stay down there a little bit and impress people and get back up at the same time. So it depends on what you’re doing. We have a variation of ground moves, just really know choreography or anything like that for ground.

You can go around and around to the ground, or you can go slowly, wheel barrow to it or any way you want. Either way it’s your pick. I’ll do this move called Around the World. Well, that’s what I call it. That’s what I do. So basically, when you do it, it takes some practice. You can’t go all the way down at first, because I don’t want you to hurt yourself. So when you do it – it’s like Electric Boogaloo, if you know what Electric Boogaloo is, it’s round movements and popping.

So what I do I take it, put my left leg out. Go all the way down, bend my right knee. Take my body, break my knees, not literally. Break my knees, go down. Get the rest of my body, go all the way around and come around, like so. Now there’s really no slow way to do it, so I’m going to show you in fast motion. Five, six, seven, eight; one and you go around. Now when you do that, we’ve got to be careful as well, because you don’t want to go down too rough and just end up banging your head. So I’m going to show you what it looks like with music.

How to Do Pop & Lock Bopping https://howcast.com/videos/511777-how-to-do-pop-lock-bopping-street-dance/ Wed, 08 May 2013 19:59:41 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/511777-how-to-do-pop-lock-bopping-street-dance/

Transcript

Hello, this is Jino Fort, your boy. I’m going to teach you bopping. Bopping is slightly more difficult, but it’s still doable. It’s very easy, once you get used to it. Basically, it’s double time popping. When you do it you want to start popping at first. Like one-one,one-one. Just do the basics at first. You know, you can even add a leg pop to it, if you want to and then it’s double hit. So one, two, three, four, hit-hit, hit-hit, ba-boom-ba-boom, hit-hit. That’s double time. Da-doom, da-doom.

You can use your knees. You could use your legs. You could use your arms. You can use your chest, but it’s basically double time. Now it’s a little more difficult to get into because you have to have more control. You have to pop really fast and move to your next movement. So what we’re going to do, we’re going to start with one-two, three-four, five-six, seven-eight. Just that simple, but try and make it as clean as possible. Five, six, seven, eight, one-two, three-four, five-six, seven-eight.

Try six, seven, eight, ta-hit, ta-hit, ta-hit, ta-hit. Try it again, six, seven, eight, and boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom. The more power you put into it the harder the hits should come, but you still need to control it so it doesn’t look outlandish, as well. It doesn’t have to only be with your arms. It can be with your legs, as well. So it can be like, one-two, three-four, five-six, seven-eight. Boom-boom, hit-hit, hit-hit, hit-hit. So it’s going out…double. Kicking your legs, arms, chest, basically anything, but you have to on time with the beat, as well. So now let’s try that with some music.

Transcript

Hello. Gino Fort, back to teach you how to dime stop. Dime stop is a cool technique I would like us to use, for popping especially, because not only is it a great visual to the eye but it’s great to use period. Dime stop composes of ticking in isolated movements.

You can use almost anything with dime stopping. You can even include slow mo when you dime stop. You can either bounce off the beat or you can bounce your body off the beat or you can tick it slightly and stop. That’s where the stop comes in. Dime stop. So when you do it, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, bounce. Hit, stop. You could use almost anything with it. You could use elbows and go low.

Hello. This is Jino again, and I’m going to teach you how to neck pop.

Neck pop is a very small faction on popping, but it does help a good bit, more than you think. Neck pops deal with this circumference of your neck right here. So, you’re getting your neck part right here, I’m going to do it sideways for you, and you’re going back, like a forced push.

Hit, you’re hitting with that neck part there. So, right here, you do it two ways. Hit, hit, three, four. It’s like a jolt. It’s very small. By itself, it’s not much, but with everything else, it’s a lot bigger. I’m going to do it from the side view. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let’s try the other side. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. As you see, it’s a very small pop, but it deals a lot when you add everything else.

Let’s try it again. I’m going to detail it for you. When you do it, it’s forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back. Also, with neck pops, you can to it left, right, around and isolate it also. You don’t have to just go back and forth. So when you do that, you go, one, two, three, four. You can take it back, one, two, three, four.

Now you can use your hands, or another part of your body to make sure it’s doing that and make it look even cooler. If you want to use your hand and go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Take it around, and hit. Now, let’s see what it looks like with music.

Now, popping, you’re not using shoulders. You’re using just your muscles. You can also use your wrists as well. Watch carefully. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Hello, this is Jino Fort and I’m going to show you how to krump freestyle. Well, to show you how to krump freestyle is one thing, but teaching you how to freestyle krump, you just work on your basics and just from there. So really, you want to be your own individual person when you krump.

Popping, you do the same thing for pop and locking, every other style. Freestyle is literally not thinking about it, doing anything and adding everything you know, to the best of your ability. Everybody has different styles and leverages in what they used to doing. So you’re only as great as you think you are.

In order to feel comfortable with your freestyle or with any style you do, you have to know what you’re doing and do it your best, and work on what you’re already trying to learn, so you don’t really not do that, and you just try to do what you think you know in order to come out, because you think it is.

So go ahead and practice. Use these techniques, and I’m going to show you a little bit of what the krump freestyle looks like.

Hello, this is Jino Fort again, and I’m going to teach you how to retract. Retraction is basically, pulling on the body and then popping off with something. Now retraction can be very cool on certain beats. You know the beats of the song that goes – like use it any way you want. Pull it and lock it up. It’s good to use the krump popping and all those harder styles, the harder styles of hip-hop, I would say. Like with krump, use it. Bah, boom, bah, boom –

Like you’ll hit a crazy beat and you’ll look so visual. It just looks like: Wow, do you see what you just did? So I’m going to show you a simple routine with retraction. So your first step is going to be one. You’re going to get your hand, grab it, pull it, let it go. Catch it, very strong and throw it to the side. So you have four movements. It’s going to be one, two, three, four.

On three, you have to make sure you stop. So one, two, make it look believable, three, keep it there. Don’t let it move. Four, you want to throw it. So we’re going to try that. Five, six, seven, eight; one, two, three, four. Try it again. The retraction part comes in when I bounce off. So I’m pulling, slingshot… You can act that way any way you want to. You can act like it’s flinging you and your head is like “What’s happening?” But you have to stop on that third step. So five, six, seven, eight; one, two, three, four.

Transcript

So this is Jino Fort again, and I’m going to teach you how to do krump chest pops. Krump chest pops are of the nature of what it says it does, popping your chest out. But it’s not just popping your chest out. It’s the beat and it’s very strong. So like from the side angle it looks more effective, so I’ll do it this way. So when you do it, you’re going to breathe in, use your diaphragm. So you make sure you get the maximum amount of air. So when you do that you’re going to breathe like so, five, six, seven, eight, and when you go back down, you’re going to hit, hit.

So you’re going to close it. Let’s try it again, five, six, seven, eight; two. Now we want to use it as a combination, which in dance you look very stronger and you hit the beat the beat a lot harder. Depending on how you hit the beat with your chest pop makes it look really amazing. So let’s try it again, other side. Five, six, seven, eight; one-two, three-four. Now you can vary it a little bit. You can act like you’re pulling it out. One, two, three, hit; one, two, three, hit. Like you’ll be like, boom. Throw it.

This is where you can use vanishing a little bit. Act like you’re throwing something into it, nobody sees it, boom. Come out of it. Let’s try it again, five, six, seven, eight; vanish. Don’t see nothing, boom. Come out. Chest pops can lead into other initiations of dance moves and techniques with krump, as well. So like let’s say, you’re doing a chest pop, you go into a stop. Make it look stylistic. Make it look cool, so after you do that boom, you’re doing arm swings, jab, jab, jab. Then you go to your chest pop. Boom, hit. Catch yourself. So the combination is everything. Let me show you what it looks like with music.

Transcript

What’s up? This is Jino Fort, back again, and I’m going to teach you how to krump stomp. Now krump stomps are not just stomp and stomp all over the floor, going everywhere, because that makes no sense. You’d only look stupid, just looking like a big monkey going out on the dance floor. So basically, krump stomps are [inaudible 0:20]. It’s just like jazz, arm swings, and everything else you’re supposed to do. It involves precision as well to the beat, and it’s not supposed to be the loudest krump stomp either. So don’t think if you stomp loud that you’re doing it right. A lot of people get that confused. BOOM, they look crazy after that. No, it ends right there.

But basically when you krump stomp it’s supposed to be precise. At least have precision and don’t stomp too loud, like make an effect, but like have it precise too. Like you’re going to stomp, stop it at your heel, or your toe. So you can do another move that’s very clean after that as well. You don’t want to look crazy, stomping real hard trying to look all nice to get attention and then not have anything to do after that.

So when you do it, kind of like set stance, go to your toe, go on your heel, use your right, you can go all the way around, hit, hit, hit. Hit, hit, hit, hit, have a combination if you will. Let me show you a simple routine highlighting the krump stomp. For your first move you’re going to get kind of low, like kind of muscled. You’re going to go one, and come up on your toe. Two, now when you drop it you’re going to move your toe to the right, so three, four, five, and you’re going to do like an arm swing. We’re going back to arm swings again, out, so arm swings out. Stomp, is going to be seven.

So let’s do that again. Five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and make sure you raise that left leg kind of high so you can make it look like you’re doing something. Don’t just look lazy. You don’t want to look lazy, look like you’re really into the move and you’re doing something with it. So let’s try it again. Five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, toe, six, seven. Let’s try it again, Five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six seven. So now let’s do it with music.
