IN-SPIN vs ANTI-SPIN & Martial Application

In this video I explain the differences between an extension, inspin and antispin rotation commonly used in staff spinning.
I show antispin and inspin principles with a ball & chain, Jo staff, Indian club and sabre. I also explain the martial application with weapons. This is
demonstrated with the 15th Jo Suburi and the 1st and 5th Ken Suburi.
These principles can be applied to many other weapons used by martial artists or props used by flow artists for object manipulation.
I hope you find the video useful and as always if you have any questions leave them in the comments below. :)

I love the staff work in relation to the sword movement as well. Thank you!

[@AlexanderGent]

Thanks! I try to make connections between everything I do wherever I can. I plan to upload some new content in the upcoming weeks, all being well :)

I hope you all find this interesting. In my next video I'll be breaking down how to do a 4 point anti-spin with a staff.

You must have really strong wrists to be able to spin that club in an anti spin. Its something I’ve been trying to strengthen for years but you must train a lot more than me. Well done, very informative 🙏

[@AlexanderGent]

Thanks Danny. Yes I do train a lot. The trick is to practice on both sides so you don't over do it on one. This reduces the chance of injury. Start of slow and gradually built up the intensity. 👍

[@AikidoScholar]

I've never seen this kind of study on the movement applied and related to weapons. IT'S REALLY GOOD SIR! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

[@AlexanderGent]

Many thanks, it means a lot! 🙏

Loving this series of videos. I’ve kind of let the jo do the teaching with my practice in terms of doing what feels natural, fluid and is actually effective rather than sticking rigidly to certain techniques. The principles that you’ve put forward makes refreshing sense of what I’ve been doing and gives a theoretical underpinning to these movements while giving opportunity for exploring wider application. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback, I am glad you have found it informative. It keep me motivated to continue these videos!
