LIGHTSABER TRAINING: 3 Fundamental Spins for Beginners

[@larrygonzalez4631]

Out of all the lightsaber spinning tutorials I've seen, yours is BY FAR the simplest and clear cut one I've seen for the Obi-Ani spin

[@FabulousDude11]

I thought that too, it’s annoying with Obi-Ani spin as everyone seems to do it differently

[@aramarthorne489]

@@FabulousDude11 i agree with both of you this is by faar the best ive seen

[@CMD-Puggy]

I don't understand the basic one

[@Xm4GamingPickle]

@@CMD-Puggy hold it with only your pointer finger and your thumb 👌and then let kinda let gravity pull the blade toward the ground then twist your wrist and lift the blade back up

things that hit different: THIS VIDEO AAA ITS SO COOL

[@Kyberphonic]

You’re badass, thanks for having me do your sounds! 😁🔊

[@jennac346]

i just wanted to say you got me into lightsaber spinning and it’s really made my quarantine and year happier. thank you for working so hard to get videos out for us 💟

[@sarahhughes3462]

I used to watch your tiktok tutorials from the summer and you have been the biggest influence on my spinning skills !!

[@-jadoofsavannah-6647]

She's the BEST

[@akatsukigang1359]

I’ve been waiting for this I’m so excited and I haven’t watched the video yet

[@Dovah21]

5:25 The transition from "🎶Hmm hmm hmm🎶" to "You want this smoke, fool?!?!" killed me 🤣🤣🤣

[@ItsMeMarieClaire]

I also laughed out loud and was going to comment on this 🤣

[@yusifamsatr1843]

please do more saber training videos! love them. my goal is to get better with the saber so I can improvise the moves

[@rubymaewatson]

who else is so happy she made a yt channel ? I AM

Women that know how to "lightsaber" know what's up!!! mad love 🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@niueanlaho]

Thank you Jedi Master Carly King.......may the force be with you

[@jojofox8852]

Finally got my Obi-Ani spin from your tutorial! Thank you!! Amazing, clear cut instructions and finally someone who explains the grip properly - which was what I was missing!

[@katey33chocolate]

Wish I found this video when I was trying to learn the Obi-Ani. Now I really wanna learn the duel wielding spin you did with the Ashoka sabers, coz that blew me away.

[@Manjivt]

Recently I got my lightsabers in and have been doing some basic sparring with them, but I wanted to learn the Obi-ani spin, I've seen a few tutorials on it and they don't explain it as much as you do, I'm now able to do it (albeit clumsily until I keep practicing) but I found it is a good workout for the arms if you aren't used to it, which is good. Because one of the reasons I bought my lightsabers is to help me lose weight, so thank you for the tips.

[@Psycho695]

Carly, I've finally got my hands on a xeopixel v3 that I've been saving up. I find myself revisiting your videos to help me master the Obi-Wan moves and lightsaber techniques. You've always been a source of information and inspiration. Thank you!

[@tylerbennett6350]

you should make a playlist of all your Lightsaber Training Videos so we can find them all in one place and continue with them

[@reklaw8899]

Yours is the first video I’ve found that explains the proper wrist twist and why you need to do it. I was constantly hitting myself but now I only do if I go too quickly. I can even do the basic spin backwards now!

[@eljugadorescaldenc4002]

Is so cool seeing you make all these movements with the lightsabwrs and how you enjoyed.

[@senatorchris3134]

Just got my first sabre, you explain things quite simply thanks, do you have practice routine videos?

[@cajuncoyote2039]

Such beauty and skill. The force is strong with this one.

[@mellowmoons_2158]

Finally! I was actually able to master the first spin that you showed; after realizing you need a lot more arm strength to do it than I have 😅

[@jenniferliman6670]

Hey Carly, thanks for the basic techniques. Im a newbie and looking forward to practise it. Thanks

[@marvinm8446]

The lightsaber is very good and good tutorial 😊👌🏽👍🏽💯💕🔦🤺🗡️.

[@StormHawk422]

These need to continue ASAP you are a legend choreographer and can easily reflect my movements with yours, keep this awesome work up and can't wait to learn more with you

[@carlyking]

Thank you so much!! I have more coming soon :)

[@00Cubic]

I've always known how to basic and figure 8 but never the obi-ani. thx for the clear tutorial!

[@-jadoofsavannah-6647]

I think you're probably the best saber spinner that I have ever seen

i just spent the last hour doing these. best 3 am past time

[@shaquillewhite1670]

Really love your lightsaber spin tutorials.

[@Felix-jg2fl]

i just love the fact that the saber is registering hits as she pats her knuckle

[@1Bean1]

Can you please make a video on what are good lightsabers or dummy equipment to use specifically for learning spinning in 2021? I just bought a leia saber and I now realize that thing is gonna hurt so bad from the grip fin thingies if I try those spinny moves.

[@singingsigne5670]

Best. Light saber. Tutorial. EVER.

[@jacobmclendon4387]

Ahhh FINALLY SEEING A SMOOTH SWING SABER BEING SWUNG!!! All demos ive seen for days are people sitting at a desk or inside a bedroom hahaha I just got way more excited bc my first neo pixel/smooth swing saber is a couple days away with UPS 😇 Thanks Carly

[@joshbowen4490]

I got my first lightsaber for christmas and ive learned some mush from your tiktok and yt channel

[@justinkennedy8277]

This really helped! Thank you!

[@tsumij]

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH i keep doing these spins in p.e whenever we play floorball or hockey or really anything with a stick

[@miagiorgi1131]

i’m so excited omgg!! your lightsaber looks so cool

[@BaffledRich]

i literally went in my little brothers room and borrowed his saber as he slept lmao now im up late watching tutorials so i can surprise him with an early morning attack

[@Miguel__angel]

YYYYAAAAAAAAAAASS now I know what I'm gonna do this week thank you master King

[@teasp00ns]

Your camera guy asked if the senseless spin was practical, I had a thought while watching as someone who does a bit of traditional swordplay but is new to lightsabers. Step 3, where you scoop your hilt from your back to your opposite hip, is almost identical to how a parry / parry riposte switches from an attacking stance to a deflection. The goal is to strike your opponent’s blade down and trap it on the ground during the motion to your hip, then reverse your motion to strike upwards at their neck. This would be for 2handed duelling, since you need the opposite force of your offhand to riposte the opposite way you came. Though it might work for 1 hand if you had really strong deltoids and abs haha. Pardon the text wall lol, just thought it would be really cool to guard & confuse with the senseless spin but transition into combat the instant they engage you. This move would be dumb as hell with a longsword but actually pretty nimble with something you can spin easily, like a lightsaber :)

[@fieldofvisionart]

Thank you Master. May the force be with you 🤟

[@jack7pot78]

Yes, my Master.

[@katzenmadchen8520]

Hello, i like your videos, this tutorial is so clean, easy and just well done! So nice watching the lightsaber in the dark. I'd love to be your Padawan, gorgeous Jedi-Master with the cool looking spinning ability ;) But you've earned my follow with you admiting that this is just for watching. Which is totally fine! Its nothing bad about that. Its very honest from you.

[@PeterSolerom]

amazing!! I'm still learning the basics but I can already do the basic Obi-Ani, thanks for teaching us!!

[@CMD-Puggy]

Cab u tell me the basic spin?

[@ericlester5033]

Yup if I was walking down the street you came at me spinning that lightsaber I would had to run away... The tutorial was phenomenal 😎👍🏼

[@azmithemandalorian2925]

Hi I have a question, what blade length is your standard, what blade length do u think is good because I really like the length of your but there are many options of blade length! 💕😆

[@noodle5622]

carly i’m a new spinner and omg ur videos have been so helpful 🥺 thank u for uploading these, i appreciate ur hard work

[@jeffreyfast4559]

Awesome thanks

[@Jonbwriter]

Hey Carly could you also do a tutorial for some additional lightsaber moves suitable for beginners. I have some martial arts training but not with weapons. Thanks!

[@vinmangob8555]

I just got my first lightsaber, thanks for the vid, you rock.

[@-jadoofsavannah-6647]

You have excellent control of your sabers

[@hazelpalmer6856]

Hello!! looks amazing, when I spin the saber really fast my hand slips down the handle. Do you know how to keep your hand at the top of the handle?

[@cecil3602]

I always wanted to learn lightsaber spinning well I can only do the back spin but still struggling with my right since I’m a lefty . But someday I’ll be a legendary Jedi . Thank you master Carly 🔥💯

[@Huamogus501st]

[@CMD-Puggy]

Idu the basic spin

[@jdjerew7563]

Man, that’s fast and clean. 🤩Is that a 29” blade? Imperial Workshop?

[@MakerMaddox]

Your foot work is great in this. I see so many spinners stand completely planted and still and they inevitably will mess it up. You're spinning with your whole frame which is dope!

[@Flight-Reports]

thanks alot, i learned the obi-ani in just 5 minutes!

[@lilbinky9463]

FYI this video was the only video I found that helped me with the obi/ani It was the hip part. People forgot to mention that moving with the blade is imperative for it to look right.

[@icy7043]

When you study more for saber spinning then all your years in school... Thanks misss :) nice job +1 sub

[@DarkRedman31]

You're awesome ! 🔥👌 I'm gonna get one (do you know where to find in France or EU ?) and practice!

[@KythForsa]

Ah if only we all had a big empty gym to practice spinning sabers in our socks! :P This is a useful tutorial. Go ahead and make more tutorials, plz and thank you!

[@Frizzly007]

I’m waiting on my crimson dawn saber in the mail. It is a venator. The hilt should be much better for spins than my Vader force fix. I’m looking forward to learning how to use it properly. Thanks for putting out such great videos

Is the anakin saber from Disney galaxy edge good?

This is great! I wish I had this video when I was 6 yo. It would have saved me from a couple bloody noses!

[@selena4749]

❤ hi Carly . Please, tell me which is better to buy a saber for a beginner women. We bought but constantly the lateral inner part of the palm and the bone gets on the fastenings and threads on the saber holders and this causes pain. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial! I’m looking forward to more. Do you have any recommendations on where to get a good lightsaber? The one I have is more for dueling and the hilt is really long and not very smooth. Thanks!

[@P1X1EHAZE]

Is there a lightsaber that you’d recommend for beginning ? I have a clunky one that isn’t very smooth and makes the basic spin a little difficult .

Are these the lightsabers that are made for combat? Like u can actually hit stuff with it and it wont brake?

[@icantthinkofausername2605]

When I do the basic spin I find my hand slipping down the hilt away from the blade, do I just need a better grip or?

[@LexiAndeaDance]

Whats the recommended saber replacement to start with? Obviously dont want to start w/a saber frm savi’s rt away.
