35 years and you're literally the only other person I've EVER heard say "practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect".

[@cosmicdark7282]

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.

[@matyldar9252]

this is the BEST video on how to make this move repeatable ive seen so far, and she's incredibly clear in her explanation. kudos!

[@REVIEWCORPS]

These detailed tips are amazing, I couldn’t figure out the obi-ani until the trace step was explained, the upside down lightsaber for the weight change is also genius

[@paradox1315]

Thank you so much, all other videos I see are like “okay so you hold it forwards, tilt it a bit” and then just instantly do the spin and everyone in the comments are like “ohhhh that was easy” and I just don’t get it lol, this actually made sense

[@VapeDrDan]

Honestly, probably the most understandable tutorial I’ve seen so far. I have a lot of martial arts experience and I don’t end up doing flashy moves so I haven’t been able to nail this yet, but I think the break down when you flipped the Saber and grabbed it by the blade made something click

[@lilbrody8254]

That, “the more you know” was so perfectly timed it got a decent sized nostril exhale from me, good work.

[@xogenius2619]

This spin will make a fine addition to my collection.

[@TheDisplacerBeast]

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.

[@jando1113]

Awesome tutorial! I would love to see more intermediate spin tutorials from you, only if you wanted to ofc. Thanks for sharing :)

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

[@neaituppi7306]

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.
