Hi guys!

As a follow on to my other demo showing saber spinning/Orbits at a normal tempo, I thought i'd do a short demo of another way to practice the technique, namely very, very, VERY slowly!

Enjoy!

Thank you so much! My girlfriend has been really struggling with the spins and I have difficulty slowing down enough to really demonstrate well. I lose all the inertia.

This was very helpful, cheers!

Great! I'm glad you found it useful. :D

It isn't easy going this slowly (or slower), and kinda brings on a Yoda quote: "Control, control! You must learn control!" haha

Great job! And indeed learning to flourish/orbit slowly is integral to good saber control once you start developing speed. Too often we just want to go blindingly fast. Not realizing that in the process we lose steps in the process.

Thanks! Well, I know that I won't be super fast probably for years, but hopefully that will come if I just keep working on the technique.

I've never tried my hand at saber spinning (I mean, never seriously tried it). This is a great video!

And I love the motto - Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. We used the same mantra when I was shooting competitively. It's much too seldom heard.
"The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds; he whose words exceed his deeds, know verily his death is better than his life."

Thanks guys! Oh, and that mantra is something we use a lot with the people I'm learning from, Terra Prime Lightsaber Academy.

Being a nooby, I really appreciate the vid on this. I dont think you can break it down better than that.
