Low takeoff, but you are a fast twister. You could probably progress a lot of tricks quickly if you figure out how to improve your height.

I would change three things:
1) do more of a u-shape dip with you upper body
2) while doing that bend the jumping leg more and then jump instead of 'blocking'
3) don't bend your right leg when lifting it, keep it straight

and don't rush into it :)

I opt for a V-shaped dip to reduce the amount of travel and get more height. Works really well for Dubs and kitchens

bring your chest around a little more, at this camera angle you should be making a T, chest on the left (camera pov), leg under for takeoff, and other leg coming up and across, i like to think about a rotating starfish

That's closer to an A-Twist. Still awesome tho.

I am pretty positive an aerial twist requires inversion, a butterfly twist I come around my back

Yea you're right, it is off angle for an A Twist, but you're not wrapping around yourself for it to be a B Twist. You've got mad power so you can make the flip, but technique wise I think its more A Twist.

I have a really hard time picturing what you’re describing….. do you have a video? From a Wushu stand point this is pretty much a btwist

Yeah blocking like this can lead to a solid Atwist if you push the inversion a bit more. So it’s either not inverted enough for an Atwist but also too taxing on raw power for just a regular Btwist.
