Power Move
Handglide
The handglide is a power move that builds from turtle freeze and one-hand balance. The breaker spins while supported mainly on one hand, using body tension and shape to keep the rotation controlled.
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 body shape and whether the spin stays centred. A good handglide should look balanced and controlled, not like the breaker is sliding randomly on the hand.
