Fire Staff Lessons Part 1

A lesson in the art of spinning a fire staff. More to come so stay tuned:-)

[@oilikaekoile]

Seriously, this is one of the most helpful tutorials for basic staff movements I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@zexstation8815]

I've watch so many tutorials on the basics and this video puts together all of those things plus more into one video in a well constructed manner. Well done.

[@astracelestrias4478]

The way you have colored your staff makes this a lot easier to follow the motion than other tutorials ive seen. Thankyou for posting this :)

[@AnubisYB]

This is the best fire staff instructional video I've come across, but it was published over a year ago...please post part 2 ! :)

[@c.p.4132]

I just got started on staff spinning and your tutorial is a life saver! Thank you!!!

[@blueillusion87]

I have had a fire stick for a week and I had learnt what I though was a few moves on other videos but after this I feel like a semi pro! You've put this video together excellently, thank you so much for sharing your skills! :)

[@cdekelver]

Thank you, very clear! I have self taught myself how to spin staff and improve more and more everyday! These techniques are great!

[@elizabethgoodin256]

This is fantastic. Thankyou :) My friend and I decided to find a random new skill/hobby to learn and we chose fire-staff spinning. We're still on broom handles and no fire atm mind you :p

[@artunkaganercan5011]

I fnished this class in 2 month. TY I am ready to Fire Staff Lessons 2

[@robertellis6538]

Thank you for this video, i've been looking for a basic staff tutorial, and this is the first one i've found that wasn't contact staff.

[@noahbasara8529]

Started getting into fire arts and decided as I have more experience with a staff (martial arts) that I would get the POI for long term training and the staff to start getting used to the movements with the fire and manipulating it. Between you and drex I see and glean a lot of knowledge. I do however have to say I like your videos WAY better. thank you for the knowledge

[@McLaineAC]

AMAZING LESSONS BRO!!!

[@siccandtwistted]

So informative! Thank you! Congrats on 6k :)

[@TamedFire]

@mrkdetailing I got it from Home of Poi dot com. It's called Holographic tape and they have many colors to choose from ;-) I'm glad you like the video! Many more in the works so stay tuned!!

[@unchartedflames5180]

[@BubblegumJpt]

Great tutorial man im going to star practicing this =D

[@Kinsman76]

Thanks for the lesson, very clear

[@matteoamistoso834]

"Find out which is your weak side and practise it more than your strong side" this is true

[@millerkells21]

Thanks so much this was great!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Great tips, thanks!

[@texasvlog1600]

I'd love if you'd do more of these tutorials. your instructions are very clear. tfs.

[@TamedFire]

Texas vlog I'd love to make more for you all but I am still waiting on an overdue computer upgrade. It should happen early this summer and I will start pumping out more tutorials.

[@texasvlog1600]

TamedFire I'll be waiting. :)

[@Thedrewshow559]

good job markey......keep up the good work. HEW!!!!!!

[@DalaiFarma]

Thanks for your reply, please take your time, i;m looking forward to the next one, but i suppose it just gives me more time to get to know the basics before moving on, I love the look of Poi but they scare me just now, maybe after i have some more experience with the staff first,

[@anthonystefanko4667]

You can go from rotors, through stops and bounces, to contact stuff. 🙂

[@Pritel20]

thx for your video, it is very helpful to me. :)

[@misconstrudel]

I've watched all the videos. I've bought a staff. Now I just need a good helmet and I can start my practise.

[@wordswordsapteek7113]

Thank you sooooo much

[@Lwbxci]

Does anyone else intuitively do the rotars completely backwards for some reason? It is legit way easier to do rotars passing from low hand to high hand... took me a minute to even realize I was doing them opposite too though! lol

[@TamedFire]

Not yet good sir. I have four props that I am making video tutorials for and the current video which will be out later this week is Fire Poi Lessons 1. Fire Staff Lessons 2 will be coming soon. In the summer time we get really busy and the videos can get backed up so stay tuned and thanks for your support!

[@losvazquez4333]

thank you

[@elhenry8]

still waiting for the second part dude!

[@alexyenis2746]

I was talking about Bill three zombies and I saw this

[@DalaiFarma]

is lesson 2 here somewhere? as i cant find it. thanks for the basics!!

[@aLi-il3fz]

tnx you 🔥🔥🔥

[@Iceplorer]

Great tutorial :) but I've got one question to the Rotor: is there a particular reason to put the Hand with the thumbroll on top? because it feels alot less twistet for me when I do the Rotor with that hand underneath

[@TamedFire]

You can do it with either hand on top or bottom:-)

[@TheInvincibleMonster]

awesome vid thanks. can you tell me some what i need to look for when buying a fire staff?

[@TamedFire]

One that feels right for you.

[@megancousar818]

Great tutorials! Do you practice with your actual fire hoop or do you have a separate practice hoop?

[@TamedFire]

I used to practice with my fire staff but then made a practice staff after seeing how much damage dropping the staff causes to burned wicks even with protective covers.

[@megancousar818]

@@TamedFire thank you so much for your reply!! I’m getting a practice staff!! So fun, and your videos are so awesome!

[@kaynaef1456]

Very good! Do you know Fire Storm Skills? They are also very good!

[@debrahatton6332]

fab tutorial but i hav limited download so any chance of putting it on vimeo?

[@aashi9307]

u r just amazing :D u r teaching really good :) like ur work even i'm start practicing fire staff at home , i need ur little help . i'm making my own staff with aluminium but this staff is thin and i cannot perform tricks , i can only able to rotate it fast ,could u plz tell me which material staff should i choose so that i can performs different tricks ? possible to tell me weight,thickness n material dat could be good for a beginner .. n yes i'm not able to find a kevlar fabric there, is there any other similar alternative :) thanku . keep uploading videos :)

[@dehumanizer101]

Dude, learn to type.

[@aashi9307]

sorry anyways U - YOU R- ARE :) this is it not a hard one :) else is fine as much as my language is concern :)

[@solouroboros]

Most good staffs are made from aircraft grade aluminum. If you're just practicing however, before you get into all the fancy gear go find yourself a broom handle that's the right height. The weight is much the same, and it's a cheap way to practice without getting wick, fancy collapsible staffs, and the other materials. Plus, if it breaks, it's just a broom handle. Happy spinning!

[@RefillYourSoul]

Hi, great tutorial thx! ;-) please tell me how long does this staff have?

[@TamedFire]

I recommend staff height to be anywhere from your chin to your nose.

[@michaal3]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for 3-parts stick, easy to travel with. Any recommendations?

[@shianeuf8692]

Can these tricks be done in a simple bo staff or i necessarily need the weights on the tips of the staff?

[@TamedFire]

Hi Shia, these can definitely be done with a bo staff as well. A bo staff has more of what we call a martial flow style to it as it's mostly used in the martial arts. The weights are to simulate the feel of what the actual fire staff feels like fully soaked with fuel.

[@whyyousotriggered6050]

For me it was easier to control with some weight at the end. Especially whe passing it through the thumbs it was easier to keep the staff for slipping

[@aprilanderson4987]

Ok i gotta know. What song is that in the beginning?

[@cornbeef1951]

Hi do you have a tutorial for making a contact staff?

[@TamedFire]

Sure do. Just search "how to make a practice contact staff tutorial" on this channel.

[@cornbeef1951]

Thanks a lot sir

[@Javero]

Can anyone tell me what's the song playing in the background on the begining, please?

[@akschannel4942]

Ooo

[@hejsan7577]

MILEEEEEEEDY

[@emodeath112]

where did you buy your staff because my friends want me to get into fire spinning but the poi confuses me

[@TamedFire]

I made my staves.

[@yasinhenfs4540]

i like your hat

[@yasinhenfs4540]

casually giving a heart after 3 years lol

[@Jaylade]

does this translate to dragon staff too?

[@dava2225]

Lol got am add that was a whole vid of a youtuber im watching

[@ShivamKumar-hy6hq]

I have a normal staff But.i need fire staff

[@michaellineberry657]

What is the song playing at the start of the video?

[@Druidmoto]

Been 4 years but song is Wait For You - Hadouken!

[@ellagrant9324]

how heavy is your staff? And what weight would you recommend to a beginner? :-)

[@TamedFire]

As a fire performer I try to make the practice staff the same weight as the fire staff I will be using. imo the lighter the better but you can only decrease the weight so much. When soaked, wicks just have weight.

[@jayfxrd8554]

Can anyone inform me of the song at the start???

[@Nakkohrong]

Jay Fxrd subscribe me plz

[@wideawake2462]

Song is "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence

[@justinhabler92]

i don't get it, how're you spinning it around your thumb?

[@whyyousotriggered6050]

I couldn't get it either

[@TamedFire]

Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it to create the muscle memory.

[@LauraJayne64]

Can you turn on captions for those of us who are hard of hearing?

[@goofygamerduck4583]

who are hard of hearing? what XD

[@LauraJayne64]

Max Simons I’m hard of hearing for one. It is anyone with a hearing loss that is moderate to severe. When watching videos it is often hard to understand the words even with the volume raised. Closed captioning doesn’t cost anything and allows easier understanding for those of us with hearing difficulties.

[@TamedFire]

@@LauraJayne64 I'll make sure to have it on in future videos. It never crossed my mind so thank you :-)

[@LauraJayne64]

@@TamedFire thank you for being open to it and responding - I’d love to learn how to do this

[@Ben-et8wh]

So I guess you never got around to lesson 2 on either poi or staff? I really enjoyed your first tutorials you explain well and go slow but you only made 1 tutorial each!

[@millipedeguy471]

good, you need to explain how to do things more thoroughly though

[@TamedFire]

What did you not understand specifically?

[@garrettk7166]

I'm sensing a lack of fire on this staff..

[@KK-xy6gv]

Only the islanders can do this the proper way

[@TamedFire]

The islanders I believe you are referring to practice a traditional style which is faster and less artistic. Modern is where it's at;-)

[@Isomel27]

It’s a ritual Samoan fire knife dance.

[@boybeast7539]

copy write off of Samoan fire knife

[@TamedFire]

huh?
