This is a video I did on the plum flower, which includes the obi-ani in reverse grip.

Nevermind, I just realized you were asking about a reverse obi-ani in reverse grip, which is different that what I show.

No problem. Still a useful tutorial seeing as I haven't learned how to do the plum-flower in reverse grip yet, so thanks anyways.

Uhh...Challenge accepted?

Nice. I was trying it earlier, and I couldn't tell if I had it right or not, but it looked about like yours (just not quite as clean), so I think I am doing it right. Strangely enough, I find it easier than the regular reverse obi-ani.


Thanks both of you.

Haha it feels completely ridiculous to do.  Don't know if I'll be keeping this one in the move set 😆

It feels like it shouldn't look cool, but in your video it looks pretty awesome. Though admittedly, everything in your videos looks awesome. Cheesy

It is a bit since you don't have to fight around the blade as much. General rule of thumb: if it is possible with a staff, it is possible in reverse grip.

Yes, my diamond had that problem too. The first time I used it, it sounded like I was being attacked by a battalion of troopers while was spinning.

This is the best minute and a half or so from my practice on the way to the car today. Angel roll combo is about where I want it I think.

Yup🤘🏻 a pretty damn good minute and a half er so! Cheers to you!
Also, a quick question: do you use 36” blades, or go for the full 40”?  From what i’ve seen, you’re in the tall-ish  side.  So it had me wondering🤔
