Question
What are ways I can make my motions look better?

Answer
There are lots of things!  You can look in mirror while doing motions to see if they are off and correct them.  If you see that they are off and you correct them in a mirror practice being stiff and popping that motion into place a few times and make sure it is all right.  MAKE SURE YOUR MOTIONS ARE ALWAYS STIFF!!!  You should be able to feel your cheeks shake and your shoulders and arms should hurt after awhile.  Another thing you can do is motion drills.  Do an eight count making a high V 1, a clap 2, a T 3, a clap 4, a low V 5, a clap 6, a T 7, and a clap 8, and go back to 1 which is a high V.  It should be fast and you should be punching out the motions as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and back to one again.  Also you can have people who you trust correct your motions!  Hope I helped!
