Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Caleb Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village, and today I'm going to be going over beginning bo staff. Alright, now we're going to be going over what's called your helicopter spin. It's going to look just like this. Go all the way around and to the other side you're going to switch hands. One more time from this side - go all the way around, switch sides. Good. So all I'm doing is doing my front spin. I'm just doing it above my head. I'm going through my fingers. One, two, right above my head. So from the side angle it's going to look this, okay? So, as from here, I'm going to go up, put through my fingers, go above my head, spin one time around, and that's it. When I do it, it looks like I'm doing about three or four spins, and I'm not, I'm just doing one spin. One, catch, bam, I'm going to switch hands all the way to a pause. So from here, one, two, three. You could do your strikes, switch sides. One, two, three. I'm going to do one more, come across, hold. Now from here I'm going to grab between my two fingers, spin all the way above my head, all the way to the other side, bam, catch. Or go all the way to a strike. So, once again, from here all the way through the fingers, and all the way back around, just like that, right above the head. So on this side, from putting it between the fingers go above the head, through the fingers, helicopter spin and back down. So one, two, come back, one. Just practice that. Good. So if you've got it, go into your front spins, go into your strikes, one, two, helicopter spin and back. One, helicopter spin and back. That's a good way to practice it. Alright, and that is your helicopter spin."
