i just started twirling a stick i found in the rubbish and im hooked. since practicing on my own ive found these videos on you tube...for which i am ever so grateful. blessed be.
That's hilarious I'm not the only one. My daughter and I were walking back to my car in Toronto, and there were two tapered oak bo staffs lying there on the sidewalk obviously somebody throwing them out. We pick them up split them between us. And bo staff spinning has been my new obsession. It's very centering and calming. The way archery used to be for me.
For someone who had nothing to do during summer, this is a great and cool thing to learn. Once I figured out what part in the spinning that I was missing, it got incredibly easier. Wonderful job! 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was a spin I saw in some Shaolin videos, I tried to replicate it with close to 80% technique but now I I understand it perfectly. Can't wait to practice tomorrow, thanks man
Wow, that was really helpful! I've seen like 4 videos on this spin, and this is the first time I could get it- and that, in about 5 minutes! Your explanation is excellent, clear and intelligent. I had thought that it's just like an overhand figure-8 but it's not at all: if you compare the two hand positions- let's say using your right hand- on the left side, they are completely different- with this one the bo is between the thumb and forefinger as the hand points back, palm down, but the bo comes underneath the arm with the hand cocked backwards- allowing for the extra spin. Hard to put into words, but anyway, it will be clear what I mean once you get the movement from the video. Thanks!!!
Bravo! There's a reason Shaolin is famous, and this Northern Shaolin "flower" is just one of them. There are actually 6 strikes with this spin, the final one where the staff is braced under the armpit is the strongest. You want to practice doing it at an even speed so that eventually you can hear the whooshing uninterrupted though all six strikes. Practice this technique obsessively. Note: I can't be said enough that the power for this movement comes from the waist, not the arms or hands. The main use is to knock opponent's weapons off-line to set up strikes, throws, or lever disarms.
Nice job ...keep up the good work. I can see why your grip is slightly off center so that you have a slight pendulum effect or more momentum so to speak to let the staff do most of the work.
Saw so many tutorials, people just don't get it that if they record from their 1st perspective, it's much easier to learn rather than watching him from my view.
Thank you for this video. I consider myself to be good, but sometimes simple explanation of what I am already doing helps me to improve my technique. Keep up the practicing my friend!
Nice at a young age I was turned on to the stick fighting arts from cartoons like the mutant ninja turtles Donatello was my favorite he had the most eloquent weapon of all the bo staff, yes to be fascinated by it no to finding anyone with skill to teach the technic till now Thank you
#Bo staff Secret Fastest Spin Tutorial Tamir Nahor thank you for this lesson!. I also learned the same for 1 year. Thank you for such a detailed review.
I've been practicing with a 2 meter staff. I am 1,80 meters tall. I find it really, really difficult to maintain the Bo's balance when doing the turn on the dominant's hand size. It's the part of the turn where where you really put your elbow up and twist your wrist a lot before turning the bo to the other side. Any advice?
when your elbow is up, you must strenghen your grip on the bo and use the other hand to redirect the bo to continue. it is not easy, took me a while to learn
Nice video. Happy to see you doing another video. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on or have ever used, old school training tools such as plum blossom poles, wooden dummies, or weighted bracelets.
+DoubleTapShooter I used to train with weight bracelets, tried twice the wooden dummy back in china and the poles many times over. about the weights - not recommending, there are plenty other tools that will have less side effects that are better than these bracelets. about the dummies - not bad for wing chun practitioners but for me I find heavy bags and thai pads way more efficient and usefull for training. about the poles - best thing ever! just don't fall down it hurts!
Oh really. Ok thats for the insight. I am building a place to train and was debating what to put into it. I will be sure to add the poles now. Thanks again.
Love this! I have been trying for a long time to get this down I have it almost down but there's something I'm not doing right I can't figure it out I believe it's when I'm crossing over with the figure eight but I'm not for sure
Dear @tamir can we do this with non-dominant hand? I tried and learned the dominant hand and you have truly said, this increases agility and allows fluidic spin with the staf's natural momentum. Your guidance is deeply appriciated.
Good vid, but here's the real secret. It's not the hands or the arms that generate the speed and the power, but the waist, even for Shaolin, most especially with this movement. It's correct that the off-hand only helps the main hand, but it's mainly because if the second hand has a full grip it will act as an inhibitor. But you want to maintain constant contact with that off-hand because it needs to be able to grip instantly when transitioning to an attack.
I tried it with a staff and I got better over time. Now, I'm trying it by putting something to make it looked ike a scythe. It's other end outweighs the other making it hard to spin fast.

Likewise now I don’t need a chainsaw it the bush no more. Plus keeping Australian green. 🤪😳🎲🎲⛓

I just got my staff and really liked your lesson on spinning. So far, it is the best I've seen.
Aside from Jet Li and the Beijing team, that is... 😉
Generous of you to share a secret. Great instruction! Thank you
With pleasure
The heavier ones are actually easier to get a faster spin.
And they hurt so much more if you make a mistake :D
It depends on the person
Heki Kahni it depends on the person I'm good at the short ones...taught myself in one day
Long heavy ones and short lighter ones are easier to spin faster
Till you smack yourself in the head
Thank you for your upload, I'm going to incorporate this into my fire staff, the fire staff is much heavier but I think it would look fantastic.
Just imagine how fast he can wield the staff now...
“ you have no idea how fast i really am... im fast a f*** boiii
Ahh must be master
Wanna see?
Update when
@@TamirNahor Hell yes!!

That was Excellent and your explanation matched it. Well done you and Thank You for sharing. Best Wishes.
Thank you my friend
Tamir Nahor - The Kung Fu Guy you are the shittest teacher
douglas lee - lets see your instructional videos ! the guy said he was going to show us something, he showed us, it was good simple clear instruction.
Tamir, your video would be immeasurably more effective if your BACK faced the camera. You are an excellent instructor.
Yes please!
or horizontally flip the video, if not... (so at least we do it in the mirror?..)
but the BACK faced camera vid would be best
That was a spin I saw in some Shaolin videos, I tried to replicate it with close to 80% technique but now I I understand it perfectly. Can't wait to practice tomorrow, thanks man
Thanks for this trick bro! I have absorbed it. You're a great teacher

U were excellent in both your demonstration and explanation. Very well done. Congratulations and best wishes for your talent's growth even further.
Sincerely thank you, this method is so much better(more control & solid & wider cover of field) than just doing the figure 8 anticlockwise either way.
Dear Tamir Nohar
a good show man!
I started it recently and am taking precautions as suggested by you
Thank you
Great tutorial! You have a fantastic style!
Good explanation of the subtle details of spinning.
Whoops. Found out watching this video that I already knew how to do that. lol. Thanks man. It really was a great tutorial overall
Very clear breakdown! I’ve been trying to understand this one and this helped a lot! Thanks for the video!
Nice job ...keep up the good work. I can see why your grip is slightly off center so that you have a slight pendulum effect or more momentum so to speak to let the staff do most of the work.
Hi,I'm a guy from Russia.Also love to do exercises with a pole.Friends say that I'm good at.I like the way you do.
Excellent tutorial! This is a great spin!
Saw so many tutorials, people just don't get it that if they record from their 1st perspective, it's much easier to learn rather than watching him from my view.
good lesson ... useful
Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!
Clear and concise. Great job.
I have always admired and want to learn this technique. Thank you for your excellent tutorial.
Thanks for the video
You explanatiom was on point, it really worked, thanks!
Thank you
Thank you for this video. I consider myself to be good, but sometimes simple explanation of what I am already doing helps me to improve my technique. Keep up the practicing my friend!
Fantastic demo and very clear explanation mate.
Nice at a young age I was turned on to the stick fighting arts from cartoons like the mutant ninja turtles Donatello was my favorite he had the most eloquent weapon of all the bo staff, yes to be fascinated by it no to finding anyone with skill to teach the technic till now
Thank you
Train hard, train smart and PEACE :)
Cool but I didn’t ask
@@shitpostgod2656 cool but I did not tell you or mean you.
You are a good teacher. Thank you. Peace!

Deeply thanks for the tutorial.
thanks for cool tip
nice teacher, super clear explanation!
Thanks for the lesson Tamir.
Nice tutorial on technique man!
Many thanks!
How is the size of the bo?
Your way of spinning is much more efficient for me to learn.

hii sir, plse slowly show to hands rotate
This was such a great tutorial thanks

@Tamir Nahor
Thanks a lot for the free lesson.
Well explained.
Does it work as well with the jo?
good instruction bro
Where do you teach that spin at the beginning?
Reminds me of Nightwing’s staff spin move in Injustice
Dear @tamir can we do this with non-dominant hand? I tried and learned the dominant hand and you have truly said, this increases agility and allows fluidic spin with the staf's natural momentum.
Your guidance is deeply appriciated.
what type of staff do you use and where to buy one? esp for spinning not for fighting
Where can i get a staff like yours!?
thanks bro that was very useful
THis is actually quite practical. Thank you! :)
It is really awesome brother
Beautiful man where you learned this
Good tutorial bro
looks cool and fast but how practical is it for self defence i wonder or is it just for tournment displays ?
Just for tournament display. If you want to learn self-defense go to my Krav Maga videos
ok thank you
More bo tutorials!!
Excellent explanation bro. Really helpful thanks!!! 😊 subbed now, so I will be watching more of your vids
GREAT STUFF !
What is the song at 0:21. I can't figure it out
Exert - losing you (NCS release)
Good stuff thank you!
i'm 5:11 imches tall...I ordered a 5ft bow, is that a good size for me??? Great video, i'll def practice that technique everyday when i get it.
No. Your Bo should be as long or slightly longer than your height
great Tutorial! thank you very much! peace
your bo staff is really good
Do you let it slide through the thumb? Or keep a grip on it the whole time
Keep the grip
Well done. Great tute and technique.
great stuff you post here!
so... assuming I never wield a staff before, how many weeks do you think it will takes with 5-10 mins practice a day?
well depends on your outcome! what is it that you wish to achieve? and I'm pretty sure you wield at least a broom stick before right?? quiet similar
Hey Tamir do you have any plans about going to the kunyu academy again ?
+Ashkan K yeah after I finish my duty I'll be there for a long while
What is the standard size of stick length , please tell us.... With reference to our height
If you stretch your elbow as high above your head, that would be the best hight for you. I made a video about it around the same time this was made
Damn, this video is really useful.
Great job man, I have a similar technique you might like, I'll make a tutorial on it
How tall are you? I'm trying to establish a good reference point of height to staves
Patu I'm 1.73 meter
between armpit and ear height is the best measure i have heard ...
WHERE DO U BUY A BO STAFF, I WANT ONE SO BAD
Good vid, but here's the real secret. It's not the hands or the arms that generate the speed and the power, but the waist, even for Shaolin, most especially with this movement. It's correct that the off-hand only helps the main hand, but it's mainly because if the second hand has a full grip it will act as an inhibitor. But you want to maintain constant contact with that off-hand because it needs to be able to grip instantly when transitioning to an attack.
I thought the end of the bo staff moves under you’re arm freely?
How much did you practice to get to your level? Good explanation! Thank you :)
How long has to be the lenght of the staff
There isn't a specific length of the staff that you need to use... if you don't practice a martial art.
This is cool
I also wants to learn it
Plz explain more than the one hand spin
Could you do this video in POV?
I subscribed
should be staff heavy? or th one i feel comfortable with?
a light staff is only for tricking, if you want to build some power take a heavier one, either way, you will improve your body immensely.
well done dude
PEACE AND THANKS!
I tried it with a staff and I got better over time. Now, I'm trying it by putting something to make it looked ike a scythe. It's other end outweighs the other making it hard to spin fast.
