SPINNING ON YOUR HEAD
Posted by B-Fast Saturday, 28 February 1998, at 4:23 p.m
A rule of thumb for learning any move is to be comfortable in the position before you actually attempt movement in that position. This is especially true in head-spinning.
Before any "spinning" on your head can occur, you must locate your balance point. This is called an Equilibrium.
The first step in locating your balance point is to perform a head-stand. In a correct head-stand your knees are locked and your legs are in-line with your torso. Your body should be perfectly in-line from your head to your toes.
Now, if you can sustain this position infinitely, then you can move to step two;
Practice moving your legs in different positions while keeping your knees locked. This will help build strength in your neck and back.
Step 3 is the beginning of the movement. Perform a head-stand and move your legs to a position that looks similar to a shaft and helicopter blades. Ideally, your torso, and your legs should be in a 90 degree angle. DO NOT SPIN YET. Next, SLOWLY attempt to WALK your body in a circular motion while retaining your form. Be sure to keep your legs spred. Practice this motion until you can successfully sustain momentum in a circular motion. If you have done this correctly you have located your "spinning " balance point for your taps. You should be able to "walk" around rather quickly. If so, move to Step 4.
Step 4 if continuous movement. Get in the head-stand position as stated above. Now, with your legs spread, knees lockeds, and body in-line; attempt to whip your legs in a circle and catch and then whip again and catch. Start slowly, your not Orko yet(w ink). You will most likely fall down quite a few times before you can successfully tap continuously. If you can do this, move to step 5.
Step 5: If you can perform the above step, whip your legs harder. Whip them to a point where you do not have to tap every rotation. You should be able to 'tap' every other rotation. Remember to keep your form. Legs spread, knees locked, toes pointed. I f you feel comfortable move to Step 6.
Step 6. If you can tap continuosly, it's time to let go. 'Tap' until you feel you have attained sufficient momentum and let go!, you may only "glide" 1-2 times if you are lucky. Keep practicing this and you should be able to "glide" considerably well. Your glides may not have correct form but that comes alot later.
Keeping your arms out might help you with your balance. Remember, everyone is different. It took 2 1/2 months of practice at atleast 3 hours a day for me to get respectable taps. It takes time, don't get frustrated. Before you attempt each step, visual ize as Kujo said. You cannot perform physically what your mind cannot visualize mentally.
