Power Move

Swipe

Intermediate · 5/10

The swipe is a common power move that teaches rotation, hand placement, shoulder support, and timing. It is often used as a bridge between footwork, freezes, and bigger power moves.

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.
