4 BEGINNER LIGHTSABER SPINS - TUTORIAL-STEP BY STEP

[@damienvieres]

I'm getting my first saber soon, so i've been collecting tutorials, this is by far the most helpful one i've watched!

[@anakinmonkey]

glad to help! check out my most recent one aswell!

[@dantheman925]

Yo same!💡⚔

[@Cap3dits]

Same here

[@hillbillyjimmy3766]

The force is strong with this one 😊

[@messerjokkel1316]

This is the best beginner guide I have seen so far! thank you sir.

[@anakinmonkey]

thank you!

[@cherrybramble]

Recently bought my boyfriend and myself a lightsaber, with the goal of teaching him how to fence and having some fun. This video has, by far, the highest quality of any beginner tutorial I've seen on KZbin, and its exactly what I needed to find for him. Thank you.

[@kjinoneeye773]

You are an absolute legend dude I found you on tiktok and wanted to learn how to do this thank you

[@anakinmonkey]

Glad I could help

[@j43k]

This got suggested to me and man - this is great stuff. This is going to help a lot of people.

[@anakinmonkey]

glad to help! there’s a much better and more updated version in the “lightsaber academy” playlist :)

[@BryanShaw]

Nice tutorial I think one thing to note is this is much more difficult with the heavy hilts like Galaxy's Edge Savi Sabers. To practice I just had to use the blade.

[@anakinmonkey]

i definitely wouldn’t recommend a galaxy’s edge saber for spinning. far too bulky and heavy. for spinning almost always go with a simple baselit saber :)

[@DestroyahTheBanned]

I can't really do the senseless with a heavy blade, the just doesn't work

[@wyattswagmaster]

Thank you so much man!!!i learned the first trick in less than 5 minutes due to your accurate explanation. Subbed!

[@anakinmonkey]

Glad it helped!

[@ValeryKondor]

Oh my Lord, thank you for this tutorial! Just got my first lightsaber and I want to learn just some basic spins so I can show off a little bit with it! Thanks!

[@anakinmonkey]

Glad I could help!

[@TeaClipper1976]

Had a fun time doing the tutorial follow-along style in the attic and had the impression that the basics clicked into place. Tutorials of other youtubers didn't do that for me. Thank you!

[@darthgamer9468]

This is a beneficial tutorial! After watching the first part of this, and several other ones, I've managed to begin doing the basic twirl quickly.

[@anakinmonkey]

awsome! happy to help!

[@jadenwells2976]

It helps a lot thank you! The savi lightsabers are hard to twirl but its sick as hell

[@blasters_kybers]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. You explain it very well and make it easy. Greetings from Spain.

[@TallTrooperStudios]

Thanks for the tips man this will definitely upgrade my saber game

[@anakinmonkey]

awsome!

[@josh_miester_x511]

Man, that is one secure helmet.

[@anakinmonkey]

yep lol, custom made the inside myself so it would stay on.

[@josh_miester_x511]

@@anakinmonkey that's awesome. I just looked at your channel, and you are really creative with your how to's. A jack of all trades, it's really impressive.

[@Zartimus]

Great stuff!

[@anakin_skywalker-v3j]

Thanks man you really hellped me i subbed to you

[@Whirlwind_Sabre]

What a mad lad, thank you so much dude!

[@anakinmonkey]

thanks for watching!

[@Rakaaria]

Just got my saber and your tutorial helped me so much! Thank you!

[@SyreneRoseXx]

i'm going as an OC Star Wars character for the first time to Facts Fall in november (Here in Belgium) And whenever i wanted to spin something (tried it before with a wooden stick) It just didn't work cuz i used my full hand. Thank you so much for this! I will definitly watch this when i start training with my lightsaber ^-^

[@kym.H24]

I'm getting a double bladed saber, so I think I'm gonna struggle a tad bit learning these with such a big one lol but I will try ❤

[@Paul_wandaversil]

I dont think these spins work? Isnt the style of a double light saber super different?

[@curtaingamer6900]

Hey man, really useful tutorial, I’m struggling a little with the reverse twirl, the steps are clear and laid out well but when the blade comes back around to finish the rotation I’m having trouble controlling its path rather than it feeling like a natural loop with the basic twirl, I’ll keep working on it!

[@columc]

Me too, have you managed to do it? Any tips?

[@CanadianSpiderMan]

Excellent and helpful video Miles! Thanks eh! Nice Spidey suit by the way. I don't have one like that yet.

[@frostboy1263]

Dude thanks so much, this totally worked and helped out. I haven't tried the last one since I dont have enough space as of currently, but I will try that one within the next few days. I could use some work on the reverse twirl and figure 8, but overall the first three worked. Thanks so much!

[@anakinmonkey]

Glad I could help! check out the more recent saber vid for some more tips

[@frostboy1263]

@@anakinmonkey Sure thing

[@alina305]

Thank you very much for ur help. I swear I can rarely find a good tutorial for these basic spins so I appreciate this a whole lot. Ur gonna make it big one day!❤️😊❤️

[@anakinmonkey]

im so glad they helped! Thanks for watching

[@chriswinchester6268]

Thank you for this very, very good Tutorial. Very well explained step by step. You are the best!

[@hannahkennelly6961]

This is really cool!

[@SoftSamurai]

just got my saber. This is the vid I needed :) these bois are heavy tho. My wrist hurts already.

[@SkySqui]

This is an awesome guide!! It helped me so much by breaking it down into steps! For anyone here in this comment section, how would y’all suggest keeping blisters at bay? I only practiced for like 30 minutes and already got one (then again Im using an old disney-world saber which probably isnt ideal)

[@NoahTheDarkJedi]

The Voldemort part got me good 😂 kudos to you lol

[@Broganlikesdinosaurs]

I had almost everything in my room 😆, but thank you for the tutorial.

[@katiekennedy6243]

Hey miles can you do the hand motion slows for the figure 8 and the up over head part

[@Amberguymerhosking]

great video keep up the great work bro

[@pinkhex4426]

the reverse spin was lot easier for me than the normal one

[@germanornelas8165]

Same here, my reverse spin was way better and felt more natural.

[@DestroyahTheBanned]

My reversed senseless spin technique came from me forgetting which way I was holding the saber and doing the senseless. These tricks aren't so bad with good tutorials

[@jrea86]

Thanks watch your video was amazing 💫⚔️

[@anakinmonkey]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pachanoid]

done! the basics going to the next

[@Glenn-Prins7]

Thanks man you’re awesome

[@nikj9024]

Hey i liked your tutorial a lot, I have a Saber coming and I’m sure this will help. I got a question regarding neopixel vs base lit when it comes to spinning. Is it harder to spin with neopixel blades, since they are heavier? Do you recommend starting of with base lit instead ?

[@Myles-co4tf]

When I got my first metal lightsaber and still knew how to do the first basic spin from doing battles with freinds when I was younger and when hot my second metal lightsaber I started naturally spinning my lightsaber in my battles that me and freinds do and then when I got my Disney lightsaber I started doing a combination of the basic front and back spin combined and it was just coming naturally now my only thing to learn is the obi ani which is the figure 8 but extended and harder but with more practice I’ll eventually be able to do it

[@BobaFett-j1b]

Very helpful I feel like obi wan right now

[@Evansvillebelle]

Thank you so much for this! I think my major issue is I have a Galaxy’s Edge saber and my hands are so small, lol.

[@louieevaro7111]

Nk great job Really help me

[@lavendar_]

TYSM this was so helpful!🙏❤️

[@spookytaco666]

Thank you Miles ❤

[@playtimewithdaddyriley4687]

Can you do the overhead spin plz?

[@alina305]

5:20, can totally relate to smacking urself in the leg with it. That stuff hurts like hell😭

[@alina305]

*5:17

[@anakinmonkey]

i’ve smacked myself so many times 😂

[@Ben-2606]

Is there anything in particular you would recommend to spin with that’s fairly cheap

[@davieee1168]

this washelpful, thanks!

[@austinconner5238]

Thanks Ezra!

[@benbouws1140]

Nice tutorial

[@idk_.186q28]

Hey I got a question so I learned how to do some spins like this but only after a bit of doing them it puts a lot of pressure on my thumb. So much so that I got a really bad blister from it. How do you spin the saber so much without it hurting your thumb??

[@Voxon199]

Thank you !

[@melwarat5766]

Should the slicing motion in the figure-8 be done more with the wrist, or with your arm?

[@anakinmonkey]

both- the general direction is controlled with your arm, but the twirl of the blade and direction of the slice is controlled with your hand. You can see the difference when i use my wrist vs don’t use it. :)

[@melwarat5766]

@@anakinmonkey awesome, thank you! I’ve seen people do it either way, but it looks much better with both the arm and wrist movement

[@bcd_official776]

525th subscriber, keep up the great work. I'm actually thinking about getting a lightsaber myself but I can't decide, do you have any suggestions?

[@anakinmonkey]

so glad to help! for a first saber go for a cheap one that you can mess around with. mine are from ziasabers and saberspro. quick shipping, good quality and great flow a starter

[@bcd_official776]

@@anakinmonkey Thanks

[@_thomasjames]

how long have u been saber spinning for?

[@katiekennedy6243]

I believe in one his TikToks he said since a kid

[@JacksonJohnson-un4cq]

Hey is it bad that I've practiced these moves with a baseball bat kudos to this man for it is he who trusts his life with the force

[@scottsymonds5649]

Bats are a fine substitute. Once you get the basic movements down, you can do it with pretty much any similar-shaped weapon.

[@d15brandd]

0:24 'You know, throwing them in the air.' And catching them by the blade

[@mataslegeckas8325]

Whats your sabers price im thinking of buyng it

[@mataslegeckas8325]

And how its called

[@anakinmonkey]

I got this one off Ziasabers for about 120$ i stick w the cheaper one bc i don’t care as much for the design, since i use mine for twirling

[@greggriffiths9053]

I was wondering why the helmet but I get it so you don't accidentally hit your self in the face good idea.

[@Rcweez]

I can’t get the two swirls on each side down

[@TobyKester9]

Basically, for the vertical, you want to go from horizontal, to He-Man's "I Have The Power" pose into the twirl

[@Starryz.7247]

ezra bridger question mark????

[@nws517]

My problem is my grip. As I twirl, my hand slips more down and down the handle. Edit: another problem is me hitting my back 6 times within 15 seconds of spinning behind my back

[@LoneWolf-lg6sr]

sorry but when you hit yourself on the leg I went "HAHA!" really loudly :D and I may or not have read "reverse twirl" as "reverse cowgirl" .__.

[@anakinmonkey]

i laughed too 😂 and damn bro

[@LoneWolf-lg6sr]

@@anakinmonkey im sorryy, there's something wrong with my brain XD

[@thedunkstersfn1085]

When I try to continuously spin it my hand slips onto the blade

[@anakinmonkey]

keep your grip primarily using two fingers your thumb and pointer durring the flick. if your saber has a choke point, best under it, if not, it may run the risk of sliding a bit

[@nickoindekliko5221]

the figure 8 made me slap myself in the balls with my lightsaber

[@anakinmonkey]

don’t do that
