How to INSTANTLY Learn the Obi-Ani Lightsaber Spin

I hope this Obi-Ani lightsaber tutorial was helpful somehow! I have been wanting to do a more in depth video when it comes to this lightsaber move rather than a super short TikTok video, so I hope this explained a lot more. What more would you like me to teach next? Comment your thoughts down below! Thanks again for watching and subscribe for more :)

Funnily enough the spin is something obi wan never does otherwise It only happened because the two knew each other's moves so perfectly that each lethal strike was garenteed to be blocked and perfectly countered without them even needing to commit,so it just resulted in a moderate amount of spinning

[@markm4952]

I'm so glad other people understand this. I remember back in the day people making so much fun of them and me thinking how absolutely perfect it was showing their connection and equal ability/knowledge of each other

[@bedubes2757]

Most people are stupid and take things mostly at face value. I don't mean to sound like a douche but this particular topic of star wars really bothers me. As there is so much depth to it that's wasted on so many. Again.... I don't think I'm better than people lol I know that sounds douchy

[@skyhunter2816]

@@bedubes2757 No you're right. So many people misinterpreted that scene but it's because they both know what the other is doing so they basically were just dancing around eachother for a moment.

[@Harry-mf6rq]

Except they would have landed because they are deliberately missing each other while doing the spin when there was no block or counter available. It resulted in an extreme amount of pointless spinning when either could have killed the other with 100% certainty about 5 times.

Wow that was awesome! I've been spinning since I was a kid and whenever my friends asked me to teach them I could never do it effectively. I always just say it's "more of a feeling thing". I always found myself fumbling when breaking it down. This was a fantastic guide! I'm showing everyone this now whenever they ask haha.

doing and teaching are often incompatible skills.

[@BLACKOPS6391]

lightsaber spinning is very similar to bo staff spinning but I feel you can do more with a staff because you can hold it on different areas and let it touch your body

[@jedironin380]

I've found using a heavier bo staff (ash wood) let's me use the momentum to feel where it is going and work with it, rather than fight it.

Thank you, all the other tutorials had you put it up right against your back as a step, which despite me having 10 years in stage combat, still made it deceptively difficult. The trace your waist part is a much better way of explaining the movement in a dynamic way.

I watched several of these, and they were good, but something about this one, I was able to get the muscle/body movements down, even without a sword or stick in my hand. So by the next day when I did, I could pretty much do it. And I have been just getting more confident with it, as I go. I did already do Bo Staff and Kali, so I was familiar with these movements. I did try to learn the Obi Ani years ago, but I never got it really, but watching this, it just took a day.
