Power Move
Headspin
The headspin is a high-risk and visually iconic power move. It requires head balance, neck conditioning, body alignment, and careful progression. It should be trained safely and gradually.
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
Notice the body alignment, balance, and control before looking at speed. A strong headspin should look centred and stable, with the breaker controlling the shape rather than just spinning wildly.
