Wrist Elbow Strike - BEGINNER Staff Spinning Tutorial | Michelle C. Smith

Wrist Elbow Strike
Beginner Staff Spinning Tutorial
In this video, we learn a funky little trick that is excellent for both contact staff and martial arts vocabularies.
In Part 1, we talk about the elements involved in this trick: the handroll and the elbow roll. It's important to drill each of these pieces before moving on to Part 2.

[@ivantheterrible1889]

Christa you are an amazing teacher. Please don’t stop putting out videos!!! You inspire and educate so well! In a week I’ve learned so much. I started with gloving and I have to say flowing with a staff has been all thanks to you. You teach in a way anyone can understand and you’re so relatable. DONT STOP BEING THAT DOPE NINJA YOU ARE!!!!

[@shellyelle6852]

YOu freaking rock my world...just starting baton twirling at 53, lol, and your style is EXACTLY for me. Thank you.

[@aplekhan7827]

[@jamesconkey1480]

[@NoSenatorson]

Your a real life Jedi. Thanks

[@goldcat1969]

Thank you! You are so articulate and you do a great job of breaking the moves into parts so they are easier to understand.

[@michelle-c-smith]

My pleasure! Glad you find them valuable! :)

[@mdshalam2309]

You stik happy nice wow

[@karatefox]

It definitely helps seeing the technique being done slowly.

[@trivellekoolaidrian6921]

I am grateful for your kindness. You don't have to do what you, but your transparency and freely given tutorials make a world of difference to us all.

[@edmundmeinhardt2909]

So glad to have found your channel. I've only seen two videos so far but am looking forward to going through the rest. I have to say: You are a natural instructor. Your explanations and demonstrations are easy to follow, friendly and effective enough that even a dummy/klutz like me can learn a few things. Thanks so much.

I did your rocket tutorioal today,and I'm catching them more often than not..Super grateful for your tutorials!! Gold! Thank you!

[@isaacstone7899]

A warrior girl brought my memory back, when I was young I like to play with staff and always accident hit my head, elbow, knee and ankle. Sometimes embarrassed in front of people but fun experience, I still like to play with it sometimes.

[@10hoursoffunnyvideos88]

how old are you

[@АлександрБурдин-ь5ф]

Good ! Thank you !

[@entertaichi]

Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!

[@daniel030570]

So powerful and real, thank you dear Michelle

[@pgskills]

So much blood, sweat, and countless hours of practice to make it look so easy and graceful. Awesome determination (obsession even?) on display.

[@stevegorr4262]

I'm so glad you break down what probably feels simple or easy to others but your tutorials have helped me very much. Especially when you explained how slow is fluid and confident. Your approach has been helpful. 🙏

[@aaronschonfeldt9979]

Hello Ms. Smith! I just want to give a big thank you for all your tutorials on staff manipulation. I found your channel a few days ago and tried this wrist elbow strike with my bo staff. It was harder than expected but now after 3 days of constantly watching this and other videos I finally am able to do this. Greetings from Germany!

[@michelle-c-smith]

Amazing!

[@emiki6]

I have some basic practice but this move is so hard. I just keep hitting my forearm and elbow... :D It happens so fast, there is no time to think what to do. :P Edit: I kind of got this too. Michelle, I think the key is to grab the staff closer to the upper end, so when it has to spin around the bent arm the longer part will be above, so it just falls into the spin. It's easier than feed the spin in the middle of the spin, because at first people don't have the skill to do that. It's just my personal experiencve and opinion. Edit2: Now i can do 5 in a row with my right hand, but i can't do it with a lower grip like you showed, the staff speeds up too much and i can't roll it to my bent arm and also, it loses it's momentum before the end.

[@sukher_chabikathi]

You are a good trainer..i am amazed by the details you provided. I wish i could learn directly from u

[@kevinjohnsamuel3565]

Your level of skill is confounding. Legend in the making.

[@veludynamite1716]

[@thanhluong8297]

[@timwidener3375]

THANK YOU MICHELLE YOU ARE AWESOME THE STAFF IS MY FAVORITE WEAPON PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING .OH YEA AND YOURE REALY BEAUTIFUL TO

[@EpicTaarna]

You're a great teacher. Thank you for keeping it simple enough anyone can follow along. I'm great with a staff but most people fly past the beginning steps. You explain it like it may actually be someone's first time ever touching a staff. You're awesome!

[@ViCT0RiA6]

Cant wait to join your beginner class once it becomes available again, prepping with your KZbin videos in the meantime, you're such an inspiration 😍😍😍

[@GMoneyLove]

Wow. Your teaching is so well done. Clear, concise, and well explained. Thanks!

[@kryptonhero]

Love this skill. My favorite one so far, and you can reverse it and end up where you started. Elbow then wrist, it looks so fluid and gravity defying. When you go in then back out. Like a breath move.

[@mahendra2feb912]

really fantastic

[@AV8R_Surge]

Well explained. I'm going to try this.

[@COMB0RICO]

You are a very good instructor. Thanks from Texas.

[@geekyogurtcup]

Really struggling to find anyone to teach me staff manipulation, and so your tutorials have been amazing for me!! Thankyou so much, I have never loved to practice anything so much in my life!

[@TheSandwichAftermath]

I finally am able to get this move more than 50% of the time- and I was able to record it in slo mo so I can critique my technique! It's incredibly fun- thank you so much! (I use a bo staff!)

[@צברארםארם]

Good instructor, you are. Thanks from Israel

[@yana7j]

I have to say it! You are awesome! thanks for tutorial!

[@grejen711]

Oh man this took me a couple hours over three or four sessions to get. Had to watch this video a few times. I kept instinctively grabbing with the same hand I was rolling off of and when I stopped doing that it just kept bouncing around and dropping. I'd get tired with the right and switch to the left and keep trying then switch back. But once it clicked oh man that was sweet! This 61 year old jumped and grinned like I was a 10 year old. FUN! Got it with the left hand/arm first which is very weird for me. Outstanding instruction!

[@shujiling213]
