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

[@blisschai2608]

things that hit different: THIS VIDEO AAA ITS SO COOL

[@akatsukigang1359]

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

[@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 💟

[@Kyberphonic]

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

[@yusifamsatr1843]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 🤣

[@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.

[@Swaniitoo]

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

[@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!

[@senatorchris3134]

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

[@rubymaewatson]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@eljugadorescaldenc4002]

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

[@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

[@00Cubic]

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

[@marvinm8446]

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

[@niueanlaho]

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

[@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

[@jenniferliman6670]

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

[@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 😅

[@LoganLawrence]

Thank you for the teachings Master King. Now I can look stylish on the front lines of geonosis!

[@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

[@cajuncoyote2039]

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

[@-jadoofsavannah-6647]

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

[@DarthKoopa]

A powerful Sith you will become 😎

[@justinkennedy8277]

This really helped! Thank you!

[@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

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

[@salimcobarrubias7590]

The force is strong with this one

[@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!

[@boldoe]

I really liked this, I’d also love to see some Double bladed lightsaber tricks?

[@singingsigne5670]

Best. Light saber. Tutorial. EVER.

[@shaquillewhite1670]

Really love your lightsaber spin tutorials.

[@miagiorgi1131]

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

[@Felix-jg2fl]

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

[@linaalice1458]

POV: you don’t even have an lightsaber but your still watching this hahahha

[@michaelvaldez5993]

I just found your channel and whoa... I think you just got me into another Star Wars hobby/collection/obsession...

[@fieldofvisionart]

Thank you Master. May the force be with you 🤟

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@icy7043]

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

[@jack7pot78]

Yes, my Master.

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! 💕😆

[@Tuhqa]

[@noodle5622]

[@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!

[@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.

[@davidmontbeliard]

I have learned this one thanks to you. Ur amazing 😍😍😍

[@-jadoofsavannah-6647]

You have excellent control of your sabers

[@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!

[@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 🔥💯

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

[@baowowoab6148]

Hi Carly, which version of light saber did you use in this video? Which version would you recommend for beginners to purchase?

[@benoitpatenaude8535]

Thank you i know how to do obi ani spin you re a great teacher

Hi Carly. Superb videos Miss Lady

[@ghettobandaidz4330]

Awesome video. Can’t wait to start practicing!

[@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

[@pandadncr4825]

love this video! would be awesome if u could do some choreography / short routine videos of ur cool moves from the beginning 😊

[@surfbiber]

I ordered my first lightsaber yesterday from artsabers and Im sooo exiteddd. I‘ll probably try to recreate the first tiktok i saw of you😍 Would love it, if you take a look at it when its arrived, and I’ve done the trick! 💕 ly🥰

[@DarthRageReviews]

Great beginner lesson!

[@kylebryan8851]

Cool and Enchanted 😉

[@Jeffery00cox]

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

[@KingVeeTV]

Awesome video! What blade length do you use??

[@verca4000]

This was a great video!♡ will you consider making a double edged lightsaber spins tutorial?

[@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

[@CMD-Puggy]

Is the anakin saber from Disney galaxy edge good?

[@NFS-shade]

Your saber is so bright. What brand model?

[@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?

[@jdjerew7563]

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

[@PadmeAmidala837]

May the force be with you

[@that_oneguy00]

I’ve watched like 7 Obi-Ani spin videos and I still couldn’t do it. Thanks for helping me!

[@nedralovesnoise]

The hilt on my current saber is really textured, so I might try to modify some of the handling. My middle finger is swollen rn lol. But thanks for the guidance!

[@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.

[@alyadam1314]

Loving this. Hopefully my daughters see this and join into my Star Wars nerd life haha

[@darthvader9531]

Where did you get your light saber

[@yes-um9ic]

Sick lightsaber spin, honestly i wanna see her actual fight in the movie.

I watch this one every week practicing

[@shanehoeh]

Hi Carly! I‘m very new to lightsabers, i like your videos allot so i decided to get a lightsaber! Can you please tell wich lightsaber you are using in this video? and what sound font are setup in the video? it looks and sounded incredible! I would love to get the same one. Thank you so much for the inspiring videos, big hug from Germany! So long Shane

[@ryzelrb]

Dang, that's really cool!
