Royal remembers first years this way: "When I first started learning about Breaking, Teacher Mike spent over a year teaching me all the knowledge related to Breaking music. At the beginning, I didn’t have any exposure to powermove. He believed that powermove should be practiced at an appropriate time as my body grows and muscles develop, and should not affect my physical development. In the first two years of learning Breaking, he didn‘t arrange routines for me. He took me to practice all the basic skills of top rock and foot, and only allowed me to practice my ability to do top rock and foot freestyle with music. In the third year, at the age of 9, he started taking me to practice all powermoves and asked me to try to use one basic skill to make changes and create some movements that were my own. He arranged all my training and took me to find better teachers to learn about some aspects. My method of balancing skills, creativity, and athletic ability is music, and music for me is the most important. In class, Teacher Mike has been emphasizing the importance of music. After Breaking entered the Olympics, he told me that competitive sports demand being higher, faster, and stronger, which meant I needed to improve my physical fitness and abilities. However, Breaking is an art. The so-called art is that you need to understand the source of each movement, who invented it, and so on. Only by knowing these things can you know what you are jumping on, and you will be more interested. We need to practice with self-discipline like athletes, but our brains need to think like artists. Interest is the best teacher, and you can happily create your own movements and jump down. He asked me to do it this way, combining music in height and depth to create freestyle."


In 2017, Coach 李士龙 (Li Shilong) took Pu to the "Breakout Frontline" competition. This was Pu's first time participating in a large-scale competition, but due to a lack of experience, she was eliminated in the round of 16. After leaving the stage, she felt she had let down her teacher and everyone's expectations, and she burst into tears. Seeing her so upset, 李士龙 (Li Shilong) quickly went over to comfort her, saying, "When learning breakdancing, results aren't the most important thing. The key is what you learn and experience here. Don't worry about the results; just be the best version of yourself and dance happily." Since then, Guo Pu has trained even harder. Whenever she couldn't learn new moves or break through her limits, she would adjust her emotions and try to find a new feeling with the coach's guidance. If the technical difficulty was not high enough, she would use sports equipment to increase her physical training and improve time and time again while sweating profusely.  With her improved skills, she was able to withstand various pressures in later competitions, and her breakdancing results improved with each competition.
