I'm not sure if you're still kicking around youtube but thought I'd let you know I just found this video and its a great introduction for a new spinner to the concepts! thanks!
I wish I found this when I first started. I very recently discovered all these “dragon staff truths” on my own with a LOT of practice and deep thought. but this is a GREAT synopsis of the root and core of all dragon staff tricks. If you master these principles, you’ll be able to flow continuously in a creative artistic and sometimes Radom-just go with it-oh, that was cool, didn’t mean to even do that trick, but it was amazing and I haven’t stopped, omg this is awesome, sort of way….
@@draghkyre do you mean basic chi rolls? I can do those quite fluidly now. I can't find anything when searching for horizontal chi rolls apart from regular chi rolls
Simple yet awesome tutorial. Learned this today after seeing this and even started to let it roll to my leg (instead of catching or tapping it with bottom hand then kick it up)
These videos would make alot more sense if you took a minute to explain starting positions for the staff, spin direction, end position, etc. There are some great concepts here but I had to keep pausing the video to figure out where to place my hands and where the center point of the staff should be in relation to my body. Just a bit of constructive criticism for you.
Your staff looks to handle as though it is very light. My practice staff weighs around 5# and is rather difficult to roll over finger tips as yours appear to. Do you happen to know the overall weight of the prop you're using here?
This comment was from so long ago but if you're still looking for answers, the weight really depends on the pole. I use to use aluminium and it was too heavy for throws and other moves so I changed to a carbon fibre. Which I assume is what he is using in this video, they're heaps lighter 😊👌
The staff is a concentrate collapsible staff, with epdm grip and custom ends made by Matt Bray. There has recently been a successful crowdfunding build to make more of these ends.
