Power Move

Flare

Advanced · 7/10

The flare is a powerful circular move where the legs swing around the body while the breaker transfers weight from hand to hand. It requires strength, hip mobility, timing, shoulder control, and clean leg separation.

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

Watch the height of the hips, the separation of the legs, and how the weight transfers from hand to hand. A good flare keeps circular momentum without the legs dragging or collapsing.
