TATW : Touzani Around The World.

It's called Touzani Around The World because a person who is called Touzani invented this move.

This move is that you have to do Outside ATW and after doing the ATW lift your left leg up and go around the ball like you are doing Crossover. This is why I wrote about Crossover last time because I was really looking forward to write about TATW.

I think there is huge difference between you INVENTE the skill and you CAN do the skill. When I think of TATW, Touzani must have hard time doing this because he had to believe that he could this skill and he had to do this skill without any tutorial by mariofs or anyone(HeHe). But he did it. Eventhough, all the suspects in him, but he did it because he believed in himself that he could do this trick someday.

For me I'm too bad to invente any moves, but, at least, I think I have to go on practising the moves there are like I believe in myself because that's what the greatest Freestyle Footballer in the world do, like Touzani.

Crossover.

To be honest, for me, I haven't really had any time to try this skill.
When I first time saw Crossover, I couldn't get used to see it for ages because I got used to see ATW so much and I thought that all the moves that we have to go around the ball with our feet is always from the inside of the ball to the outside of the ball. But, Crossover was from the outside of the ball to the inside of the ball.

Since Crossover was not really a hard skill(I think), there are some High-graded skill that requires Crossover. TATW could be one of them, Knee Crossover wich is that you have to do Crossover after hitting the ball with your knee.
This is one of reasons why I like FF, You can learn a SIMPLE move and you can keep up-grading them.

I gotta learn Crossover ASAP, after mastering this ATW I'm working on.

X Over.

I sometimes think that it soulbe be called 'Scissors' and some part of countries actually call it as 'Scissors'.
However it's called, it's a great skill because it's quite easy move to learn and do. If it's Quite easy for me, I believe IT IS VERY EASY for any of Freestyle Footballer.

All you have to do to do this trick properly is that juggle, lift your left foot up across on your right leg and kick the ball with your right foot. That woulbe be pretty much it.

Also I believe that it does look good for the people who haven't try to do this trick.

There is nothing much to get from this skill. It hasn't really got combo move or anything. You can see this move as the move that is pretty easy to do and the move that doesn't really have anything more than

I guess that's it for this move this time.

Freestyle Football Tricks by SEAN D'ARCY

There is a book, called Freestyle Football Tricks wich was released just wile ago.
When I saw this book in a book shop, I couldn't control myself but buyin' this book before someone buys it.
What a coninscedence!!! Only 1 left!!! I just bought that book straight away.

But after that I felt a bit strange because in here(New Zealand) You can't really get the item you want.(Especially Soccer)
But, Who cares, I bought it anyway.

Let me tell you about the detail about this book.
In the front page, there is a paint of a boy who's doing Leg Catch with the title and the author. On the top of the front page, it says 'tricks','flick-ups' and 'catches'.

And the next page 'Acknowledements' which is not really important. He's just saying thanks and stuff.

Under the Contents sign, there's 'Introduction', '01.Learning how to juggle', '02.Juggling Drills', '03.Flick-Ups', '04.Catces', and '05.Juggling tricks'.

There are juggling ways with your feet, knee, outside of your foot, souldrs, head, and chest.

14 Flick-Ups, in the chapter of Flick-Ups.

In Catches Chapter there are 7 catches : Foot Stall, Neck Stall, Leg Catch, Shin Catch, Spinnin Top, Shoulder Catch, and The Thinker.

5 Juggling Tricks which are X Over, Switch and etc....

I really like this book. The only problem of this book is that the tricks are named by the author and they are kind of random. But I guess It's worth to buy it. By the way, It cost $31 NZ dollars to buy it.

9.Not too many people can do FF.(At least around me)
10.Therefore We can show off MORE!!!
11.FF is also good for developin' our actual soccer skills.

Elastico.

The trick that you use when you want to beat the person infront of you.

The trick that is famous for that Ronaldino uses it.

'Such an impressive skill.' That's what I thought when I first saw this trick that was used by Ronaldinho.
When I just barely could use this skill, I thought only Ronaldinho can use this trick properly.
But, again, YouTube broke this though. And It actually gives me some kind of hope that I could use this trick properly like Ronaldino does. From that moment I started to practice it. I was pretty lucky that this trick didn't really require much space or fancy shoes. I just practiced every moment I could which was really every moment I saw the ball. By all these HARD time I got knowing how to do this trick easier. It's just that you shouldn't try to use it but just try to hit the ball with the outside of foot and with the quick movement hit the ball with the inside of the foot again. And that was all. Although, It wasn't really like a PROPER way, It exactly looked like Ronaldinho's.

Like I was getting better at this trick, I started realising that It's not really a complicated trick or anyting and hips of people in the world could do it.

When I was still practicing on this trick, I hadn't realise that how hard it is to use tricks infront of the people while playing the proper soccer game. Because I was afraid of making mistakes. But in a soccer TV program, a player said 'none of us should be afraid of using new tricks.'. That had inspired me a lot. Then I just started to use this trick with my soccer friends. With them I had no pressure, therefore I could easily beat them with the tricks that I learned including Elastico.

NEXT AIM : HOCUS POCUS!!!

Around The World and more harder Over The World and much more harder LATW!!!!

 You can say LATW as Double ATW I guess. As I said this is the move that you hit the ball high and go around the ball with your foot just like ATW. But the important thing is that you go around TWICE.

Sometimes, when I look at all the FF moves in YouTube, I think there is no speed limit for the feet of human being. Me, who thought ATW was the hardest trick in FF, I couldn't even think of people doing harder tricks. But there are, THERE ARE the people that do all the MUCH HARDER tricks.

I wonder who invented LATW.  I'm quite sure that he didn't really think he could make this trick eventually. But whoever it is, he did it.

Just like that I thought I wouldn't be able to do ATW when just before I get started on FF, I think I wouldn't be able to this LATW thing ever. To be honest, that's the one of reason why I'm into FF. It seems like there is limit on FF. People just make the harder and harder trick any minute.

Anyway the FF goes, I'm gonna learn all the move I can because I know I can learn it. Although, they do make real HARD moves any minute. I know I can do it with endless practicing and the helps of people from all over the world on the internet.

Billy Wingrove.

My favourite Freestyle Footballer.

He was born in 1982 in UK. His dad was in Tottenham Hotspur and his cousin was in Arsenal.

Unlike his dad and cousin, he played for semi-pro soccer player. But, because of all his effort on FF, he became very famous Freestyle Footballer in the world.

Although, he's got many hard moves on the earth, he keeps practicing a lot everyday.

He had appeared some famouse soccer TV channel. Most importantly, Joga bonito.

In Joga bonito, he goes around and meets famous soccer players who are Ronaldinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Despite he showed off infront of all those greatest soccer players in the world, He doesn't really get nervous because he practices a lot enough to show off infront of them.

That's the main reason why Billy Wingrove is my favourite Freestyle Footballer.

Also, Billy Wingrove is the one who inspired me to get started on FF.

As long as I practice enough, I believe that I can become like Billy Wingrove someday.

 Because I deserve it.

Neck Stall.

The move that is pretty easy to learn.

Neck Stall is the move that make the ball stay on the neck. It's an easy move to do as long as your back, head and shoulder stay still.

 Although its easyness, it DOES look good for the prospectors and actually it looks pretty complicated before you learn.

If you haven't learnt this move yet, start learning now!!

You can get this move easily, because you can practice anywhere if you had the ball. Even in the house!!!

I have even tried Push Up position with the Neck Stall. and it wasn't too hard at all. But the hard thing is that it's hard to get the ball to Leg Catch Position from Push Up position by doing Rolling Back Catch.

 But, still, It's an easy move and looking good move.

 Try learn it and show off infront of you friends.
