Power Move

Cricket

Intermediate · 6/10

Crickets build from handglide and turtle-style balance. The breaker uses a small hop or push to rotate while staying balanced on the supporting arm. It requires wrist strength, timing, shoulder stability, and a strong centre of balance.

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.
