Learning

[jok3r]

whats up everyone, ive been flourishing for about 4 months now and im doing alright.
i have a couple questions about new material.
first, i see all these guys like ellusionist kent, michael herp, a bunch of other guys on theory 11 who are INSANE.
ii love to flourish, so i practice as much as possible.
but i was wondering about how to learn all these moves.
I have D+M motion, and i am looking into getting the system. but besides those, what else is there?
i know of xcm beginners, and encyclopedia of flourishes.
is that where they learn all these moves?

i want to come up with some original material, but i feel like i should master some complex moves before creating my own.
but how do i choose what to learn, what to master, and then what to use.


if someone with experience could help me out, maybe shed some lights on things , that would be great.

thanks,

Thanks god you called it by its proper name. Flourishing.

Check out the Trilogy Disc 2, The Code by Mattgic and MaXim.

Original Flourishes is through the inspiration of others, unless you get lucky.
I would recommend Jerry's Book. It has everything you would need to widen your knowledge.
The trilogy disc 2 is pretty good, but not as good as the System in my opinion.
The Code my Mattgic and Maxim, is pretty interesting as well. They go for a Movie styled DVD. Their style is only ok with me.
Brian Tudor has some old stuff. I like his style more than some of the new artists. Its more.... "clockwork". haha
Keone has only ok cuts. Their more for beginners i guess. But their not that special.
Madison has a few more DVDs which are pretty interesting. I only use some of his material. The others, i just practice and leave them alone.
Caps Casino has some pretty "classic" stuff. Their not classic as in everyone does them. But they look old school. Some displays, some big cuts, etc.
Those are the main artists you would want to look at... not really... Just the ones you can find.
I recommend Jerry's book, Tudor's GenX, and Casinos Cap Cuts.

I agree with sciffydof. Jerry's book is the way to go.

watch alot of tournament videos from the XCM tournament (you can just search for that on youtube) and you'll be surprised how many different concepts can be built on creativity.
