Power Move
Airflare
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.

Difficulty breakdown
Difficulty is not only about strength. Balance, risk, coordination, and style all change how hard a move is.
Prerequisites

- Flare basics
- Shoulder power
- Advanced coordination
Common mistakes
- Trying it before having the right foundations

- Dropping the hips
- Losing shoulder tension
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.
