Ado-p's Learning new moves thread...

Whooohoooo

Time to resurect this dusty old thing.

Stalls and lots more stall type things.

From the -fairly- standard staff stall where you have the staff horizontally accross the backs of both your hands and you lift one hand accross your body so your fingers are now pointing in.. and the staff is still balanced on the back of your hand.

I got these with a 180 turn now. 3 beat fishtail stylee. So your hand and the stick actually make a 360 in the wall plane. with the top half of the circle on the starting side and the bottom half on the finishing side of the 180 turn.

They also work very well with elbow traps. Say from a halo into an elbow trap... once its trap with can change the plane ane manoover the stick out into a stall... from trap you can flick the stick in the horizontal across your chest/belly into a elbow trap on the other side and do another stall. Mixed up with turns and posing this all looks lovely.

Also from the stall. Do a normal stall as described above. But turn a little to the side then cross the other hand behind your back and around the front to balance the other end of the staff. It doesnt really do anything but is nice ans posey too plenty of varations here.

And my fave. Stall the flick/swing the staff out and up so its making a circle on the horizontal plane. You have to lean right out becasue the long end of the stick has to pass around the inside... Do a kind of devilsticky thing with your arm here and then your into a steve... a fast, scary steve....

Any of that make sense? If not tell me... It might make me get off my ass long enought o make a video
