Power Move

Airflare

Elite · 9/10

The airflare is one of the most advanced and spectacular power moves in breaking. The breaker launches from one hand to the other while the body rotates through the air. It requires explosive power, timing, shoulder strength, wrist strength, body control, and confidence.

Note

Powermoves can take a long time to learn and even longer to master. Build the foundations first, train safely, and do not rush high-risk moves. Progress usually comes from consistent practice, conditioning, clean technique, and patience.

What to notice

Look at the hand-to-hand transfer, airtime, hip height, and clean catches. A strong airflare should look like controlled flight rather than a throw, with each landing setting up the next rotation.
