Dude. In your first video from a week ago I could have easily guessed your off hand. Not anymore. Looking real good brother.
Let it flow! 
 

Thanks DS.  I start practicing with my non-dom hand first and then transition to my right. I also learn new moves on my left now which it gets super easy with my right.

Good practice on the back spins, especially later when you start to move more with your legs. Point  Wink

Thanks Matt Nihilus, have a point back!

Thanks, DarthBoneTD!  I've been practicing on it quite a bit now focusing on leading with it.  Point back!

Thanks SFD!  I'm loving saber flows! 

Early AM flows, my attempt to start integrating my moves, excuse the roughness please.  This is my first attempt

AKA...Early morning dedication. One thing I would suggest to you though is to take your practice outside or to a place that doesn't confine you in any way. Having walls or a ceiling too close will inadvertently train you to compromise your technique in order to not hit them. Simply, it trains poor technique. Being somewhere where you having plenty of space will allow you to train the full movement the way it should be so you don't have to inhibit yourself at all.

And also, I don't know if you've seen the video I did on a trick to learning the eclipse and reverse eclipse (aka the obi-ani), but it might help you with those moves as well.

Aside from that, keep up the good work and flow on my friend.

Looking great, bro. You're getting there with those transitions. You kept the saber moving the whole time and you were stringing together different spins nicely. Smiley

I wish I had the kind of dedication you do. But, I don't. I'll play with my sabers for 5 minutes and be like "that was fun" and then go do something else. Wink

Thank you for the tips, Master Venturous.  I have plan to start spinning in my back yard and will get a set up arranged. I just have to clear some grassy area as my skin is allergic to it and you're right, the limited space will give me bad form.  I have not seen your video but will check it out as once I get into work in the AM (getting ready for bed as I type).  Thanks again and I appreciate any and every tips, criticism, and pointers that you're willing to give.   Cheesy

Thank you, SFD to always checking out my videos.  I admit that it does take some liking and interest into sticking with spinning since it's not super easy but easy to get down the basics and with practice, you can learn the more intricate moves and transitions. 

I really love this art and side of the saber (I'm still going to build and customized sabers as well, that will never go away) and it's now a part of me.  That's how I started my love for spinning was to pick up my saber for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. 



Here's a last video for the night.  I dropped my Dark Initiate V4 on tile floor which broke the battery holder.  I super glued it but leaving it alone over night for it to cure and it's still usable but the battery holder needs to be replaced.  I planned on installing a Lit-Ion set up any how so it's out of commission for the time being.  I picked up my saber and disabled all of the sound on the Obsidian V3 so that I can practice in silence.

Wow! Your progress is remarkable and your dedication is inspiring.

You look so much more confident and comfortable than you did 9 whole days ago when you started this thread. Props to you brother!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the video Master Venturous posted is the best I've seen for really tightening up   
the standard and reverse/inverted Eclipse. His no eclipse challenge entry is still my main source of inspiration though. Wink

Excellent work Infinit01! I like the behind the back and overhead transitions you displayed. Cool stuff.

This thread is awesome Inf01!

Your progress is remarkable and I must say I admire your dedication  Wink
Wish I had enough space in my appartment to do some inside spinning. As it is now it's getting too cold outside to enjoy a spinning session and I only have the possibility to develop my skills once a week in my Lightsaber class (in which I don't have time to practice spinning). I'll have to try to find a place inside where I can practice...Maybe I can ask a friend if they have space or find other people so we could invest together into a place to practice (though finances are not exactly at their best right now...)

Have a point for all your effort!  Cheesy

Just checked out the video and followed along. It made a lot of sense and worked so much better. I've been practicing it and here's a rough video

Thanks, Darth Silenoz!  One of the many reasons of creating my own thread was to help inspire those members to spin more and get comfortable.  I checked out Master Venturous' video and his tip and trick to help tighten up really works. I've been practicing it this morning and can see that it's much better. 

Excellent work Infinit01! I like the behind the back and overhead transitions you displayed. Cool stuff.


Thanks DPM! I really appreciate it, I've been practicing those hand transitions. 

This thread is awesome Inf01!

Thank you, Crue!  I appreciate you visiting this thread and viewing my videos.  I understand not having the correct amount of space. My house has low ceilings and with a 5 year old, space is a bit restricted that I have to move a few things around myself.  Master Venturous and Master Elwood has both recommend me spinning outside which I am currently prepping my back yard to do so (cut down the grass and clear a section since my skin is allergic to it).  I understand you not being able to practice outside since it's cold where you are and having a place with space until you're living there, can be costly so it's understandable.  Just practice when you can as much as you can.  The basic moves can be done inside but the more advance moves and when you're trying to add transitions will need the space. 

Thank you and have a point back for checking out this thread!

Morning spins to start the Monday off (This is before I watched Master Venturous' video but I do have the Eclipse revisited video that I made above)
