However, I think your tutorial might be the breakthrough I need! Thank you, on to practising (and back to hitting myself in the back of the head!) G

Hello Master Lucien Kane, Everyone,

I have finally reached the point in my Saber ownership where I have to start using it as I had been protective of it before.
I have learnt some Soresu Orbits and basic blocks and strikes. I decided I wanted to learn the Obi-Ani, and after watching your tutorial and a few from other sources I finally began to get the hang of it. The strange thing is though, I am right handed yet I can perform the flourish better with my left hand! Is this a common phenomenon or is it just me?

kind regards and thanks for the video,

For Tyeth

I'm exactly the same. I can do it right handed, but it seems to flow better with the left. Strange.

Darth Nelo Angelo Offline Premium Member Posts: 94 Thank you received: 41	No problem. There's loads of tutorial videos on YouTube. I watched as many as I could find. All very similar in technique. I found doing it slowly then ramping up the speed helped. Muscle memory and all that.. Soon you'll be doing like the best of them..

For Tyeth Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1876 Thank you received: 806	Hi Darth Nelo Angelo, Thanks for the encouragement, I have already blistered my hands practising and I have a few YT channels bookmarked for the tutorials. (I still look like a preying mantis waving a glowing stick though ) Thanks again, For Tyeth

But I don't even have my saber to practice with yet, and I need to practice, and master more basic techniques first, so maybe I'm selling myself short.
