More Elbow grip shenanagans :)

well I've been practicing and practicing, and finally last night things were beginning to Gel...

what I'm doing in the elbow grip is the same as the baton move 'Fishtail'.

At the mo I can smoothly do RT Elbow wrap -> RT Elbow grip 1/2 fishtail to the left -> throw from elbow -> LT hand catch. (and opposite).

I'm working on catching throws in elbow grip (I can do it occasionally) and continuous elbow fishtails.

also - I've noticed that if instead of crossing the fishtail to the left (from right elbow grip) you lift your arm up and kinda point your hand directly behind you, the staff comes out in a perfect above head Heli palm spin position.

Anyhow - I thought you guys might be interested.

Fishtail?

Its one of the most difficult little tricks I ve ever had someone try to teach me.

Its called a fishtail, because the neccessary motion of your hand to keep the baton moving looks like a fishes tail.

Oh yeah, you have to have your arm totally straight going down towards the ground with your hand pointing (palm down) as far up to the sky as possible.

If I haddnt seen it done, I would believe it to be possible...<shrugs>
