Simple tips before you press play
- Warm up first. Watch then move. Your body must be ready.

- Slow the video if you need to. Look at how they place their feet and hands.
- Save the video in a playlist called “Pre-training Hype” or “Classics”.
Make a plan
Choose one move or line from a video. Break it down into small parts. Practice each part. Link them slowly. Repeat until it feels smooth. Then add speed. This is how classics turn into new skills.
