Hula Hoop Basics: 10 Hand Hooping Tricks For Beginners To Learn How To Do

[@hoopsmiles]

If you are looking to buy quality hoops to do the tricks in this video, I recommend buying from the links in the video description.

[@veganioan]

Thanks, dude! U are the best. Hula Hoop is so much fun.

[@catthomas7326]

I just want to ask you... where have you been all my life!?!? You are freaking amazing and I've only watched this video and have improved almost all of my tricks in one video! Thank you!

[@hoopsmiles]

Wow thank you! You are so kind to say that!

[@brirosenberg]

This tutorial is great! I have one hand, so the things I can do are limited, but in like 48 hours I have 5 of these 10 down (maybe not cleanly but still). You’re awesome :)

[@madisongranito9780]

I don’t ever watch full videos on KZbin, I just watched this whole video! I just wanted to leave a happy note for you, you are amazing! You are so good at teaching, slowing it down, and performing all of the tricks! I searched hula hooping tricks because I had never heard of it and I thought my husband was making stuff up. You are impressive!

[@FantasyCakesBakery]

Thank you! So much fun! You’re a really great instructor! Didn’t get them all and only bonked my head a few times, but will keep trying!

[@hoopsmiles]

Wonderful clear video- thank you for your guidance! I live in New Mexico and am learning from your videos- one leg escalator is my challenge...

[@hoopsmiles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChristyLynnSpins]

Delightful as always Hoop Smiles! For anyone having trouble getting started with hand hooping, I usually recommend moving your hand like you're bouncing a basketball. When the hoop lands in your palm, that's when you want to bounce it back down. 😁

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you! That is a good way to describe that movement. Good tip

[@leenlovesdancing3561]

I haven't done this for many many years. 💛

[@hairlear1020]

Practice makes perfect with you happy smileALWAYS!

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah there is not as many guys in the Internet world that seem to be hooping. My channel might be one of the bigger male hooping channels. Though where I live there are a bunch of male hoopers out there.

To see it may be easy but doing is very definitely

[@caroh5334]

How helpfull and practical! Thanks a lot for this!

[@meganbrekelmans5842]

Thanks for the tip to block one's face when learning the escalator. 😂 Can't stress enough the value of that!

[@giulianopalmieri4703]

Hello! Thanks for all your vids, could you please make one for the "3 beat weave" trick? 🙏😘

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you! I'll consider your request for the 3 beat weave. I really like that trick. But first before that, I would maybe focus on doing weave with 2 hoops, the prerequisite before 3 beat weave

[@silviamiglionico9673]

thank you!!! you are really good! could you please make a tutorial of the trick n8 with both hands?? or maybe you already did one loveee

Thanks for this video I am learning all of those! Struggling with the escalator as the hoop always hits my ear or the back of my head or gets stuck on my neck, what am I doing wrong? and my isolations suck!

What size smaller hoop are you using for the tools up & catch move?

[@imunstoppablehahahaha9645]

Epic hoola is proud

[@Imloved26]

You rock!

[@charlottel3158]

Which kind of size do you recommend for this? 😌

[@SuperLaM2011]

Hi, How are you? Great videos. I learnt hooping in 5 days with a weighted 1 kg hula hoop. Can I use this same hoop to learn hand tricks or are weighted hoops not recommended for tricks? Thank you

[@hoopsmiles]

I mean you could, but I wouldn't recommend it. Even as a pro myself, my hand will get sore using a super light hoop around the hands if I do it long enough.

[@diabolikaren]

Is there like a particular type of hoop I should buy for the tricks? Or Sshould I just look for a lighter and bigger loop like yours?

[@ArtScentedJester]

I bought a hula hoop to feel like a kid again and now I'm really invested

[@danielleswenor5668]

I love your vibes and your fit 🥰

Do you use a weighted hula hoop for this?

Dommage c est pas en français j essaye de faire du cerceau mais pour c est pas évident faut t il se déhancher rapidement ou faire de grand déhancher ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Besoin d aide merci pour vos vidéo

[@lilz]

I am having trouble going from lasso to waist like flowing into it spinning.

[@tulasitree2676]

Excellent!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Many thanks!

[@ohdearroedeer4115]

Any tips to stop your hands bruising? I don’t know if it’s just me but where I’ve been spinning the hoop I have some nasty bruises on my hands^^’ is it just a case of that going away in time with more practices or am I doing it wrong?

[@hoopsmiles]

I've gotten sore hands before. The best solution I have found is to wear gloves to protect the hands.

[@ivikiwi1312]

Omg he’s amazing teacher

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you.

[@hummingbirdhooper]

Hi Hoop Smiles nice hoop tricks and helpful descriptions.~ fellow hoop instructor Che'

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey, thanks!

[@maansasa7277]

So cool... :-) Thank´s... What´s the wight of the hoop? Less than 500 g?

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thanks! I don't know the weight of the hoop.

[@cazzabe6747]

www.hoopempire.com/products/weighted-dance-hoops These dance hula hoops weigh in at approximately 450 grams making them a slightly weighted experience ~ not too heavy, not too light! thats the one I use.. its perfect.. I recently got a mini hoop. not sure how light it is but its super hard to keep around my waist Ill just useit to try more hand tricks for now :)

[@Gemzstone1]

My hand just won't end up in the right position on the weaves when you cross the hoop over the body. I've always struggled with this one.

[@mynameissomeone6699]

I have tried too many times but m not able to lift the Hoola Hoop up. ☹️ Whenever I try inserting my hand while ring moving, the ring falls down instead of getting lifted up.. 😢

[@hoopsmiles]

Not quite sure what part of the trick you are having trouble at, are you referring to the part where you grab the hoop on your back? Or are you talking about once you have already lifted the hoop?

[@shamshersingh5032]

What is the price of hula hoop ,i also want to buy please tell me

[@lindabeebe7065]

I couldn’t do it either, “until” I saw a woman do it by lifting it up from her side more instead of the small of her back. I have shoulder problems with developing arthritis. When I didn’t worry about going to the small of my back with my hand, it happened. It doesn’t take anything away from the trick. My non hooping friends are all so impressed with this one! So you may try it without reaching all the way around. Happy hooping!

[@anchorromabaidya5607]

Which hula hoop we should use?

[@hoopsmiles]

Honestly I don't give hoop recommendations anymore unless I'm able to see the person try hoops. There is no one hoop that works for everyone, as there is so many factors involved. But typically for hand hooping, smaller lighter hoops often fit people better for the hands.

[@rayanben9822]

Great video !

[@hoopsmiles]

thank you so much!
