SixStep!!!!!
The Sixstep
What up, new breakers?? A lot of you have been askin' about how to do a six-step, and have
never gotten an answer, this is for you. The six-step is basic footwork that you should practice,
everytime you break. You should be able, eventually to improvise your six-step with extra
movments and steps (sometimes referred to as Techs) for style and originality. As you learn
power moves (windmills, flares, etc), you should strive to be able to go into them from a six-step,
and come out of them into the six-step (in addition to the other methods of starting and ending
them).
For counter-clockwise six-steps, start from a push-up position with your legs spread (this seems
kinda silly, but it's the easiest way to explain it, you can start from any position).
1) Lift your RIGHT arm, and move your LEFT leg through so it's in front of your RIGHT leg.
2) Move your RIGHT leg so that your RIGHT foot is BEHIND the LEFT foot (your legs will be
crossed LEFT over RIGHT).
3) Move your LEFT foot in a small arc so your legs are uncrossed. At the same time switch
your hands (pick the LEFT one up, and put the RIGHT one down.
4) Extend your RIGHT leg and sweep it around (wide) in a counter-clockwise arc so that your
LEFT foot ends up covered by your RIGHT knee joint and your RIGHT foot is almost touching
your butt (NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 shoud be done in quick succession).
5) Put your LEFT hand back down on the ground, and move your LEFT leg back to where it
was in the push-up position.
6) Move your RIGHT leg back to where it was in the push-up position, and you find yourself
back at the beginning. Now, go back to step one, and repeat.
That's it. If you want go clockwise, just reverse all the LEFT/RIGHTs. One more thing, don't try
to do this fast at first. Go VERY slow to get the technique down, and then increase your speed
gradually. No matter how fast you go, if your footwork is sloppy, it's noticable. Peace to all.
