Jar'Kai Dual Wield tutorial

[Darth Cephalus]

I plan to at some point but I have to say I am not nearly as comfortable in reverse grip. I certainly don't have the fluidity with it you do. When I do tackle it, it would be something like the one in my basic set where I do it in one video and mainly demonstrate the fundamental difference between the grips and how that applies to the spins in general.

The dual super obi-ani was a pain to learn, and I mean that literally. I ended up straining my left shoulder (on the inside) and put me out of practice for two weeks. It was actually because I was doing both that and working like a madman (Thanksgiving/Christmas in retail management). Anyone who tries it needs to be careful about going full speed until they are prepared. All better now, but still needed to be said.

Yes, these later steps are prone to that sort of thing. Take it slow and get the mechanics before trying it with speed. That is usually a good practice, but especially important as you get past the first several moves. Be especially careful with anything with an inverse obi/ani in it as I mention in the video on the dual inverse. Also worth saying is that the super obi/ani with a saberstaff (not currently in any of my tutorials) is a good way to beat yourself black and blue if you move too quick.

Part 18:
This video deals with the inverse version of the dual super obi/ani spins. Instead of a falling movement in the front of the body, it is generally easier to make the first spin large and tighten into the second and the then the backwards stab of the inverse obi/ani. The general effect is more of a spiral than a vine down.

Part 19:
This video deals with the full inverse dual plum flower. In a lot of ways, it is easier than the standard version. I present two slightly different versions of the spin.
