Imakokode staff tutorial I

Wow nice videos! I've been looking for tutorials such as these, very clear!

As a very beginner to staff, I totally appreciate videos like these!

Thanks

That's are all great guys!

I downloaded pretty much everything that I could get my grubby little hands on, and I've started organizing it into groups that I can learn from. I really like the basicness of Imakokode's Tutorials, and I just tried my first ones tonight.

I've noticed a few problems that might not be affecting others. For one, I'm 6'4, and trying this in a basement. Bad idea, considering the height (or lack thereof) of the ceiling. In addition, it seems that my "girth" is causing my pathing to be a bit wider than I would like. Guess this is good motivation to keep me wanting to slim down.

But I tried the first four moves in the first video - man, it took me a bit to figure out the mechanics of the extra wrist beat, but once I got it, it was like a shot to the head. I can DO this!

BUMP!

Okay, updated to new forum format, added quicklinks into feuershow links so they go directly to the tutorial.

Added Imakokode's tutorials and added his youtube page to the references.

Oh what's this? A cheeky plug for my basics DVD: http://manipulation.firestaff.net

Thanks for the posting and sticky, I'm picking up my first staff from the post office in the morning. *missed the delivery man today traveling back from VA for Thanksgiving*

I went with the full length mistletoe (5ft 1/4in length since I'm 5'9", should be about right to get started) from the shop on here and can't wait to get started.

Hope to get better acquainted with you guys soon and studying up on all of the preceding straight away

i just started and this site helped me a lot, good job mate and thanks

I really like the tutorials by Imakokode. (sp?)
I'm currently working on the two and three beat forward. Basically I am doing something, but I'm still trying to analyze wether it's good, wrong, or another move entirely^^.

I guess it's a sloppy two beat, because I think I do bend my wrist a little but extra, but instead of a three beat, it just makes a two beat that goes a different angle than yours.

I'm wondering, is a 'proper' two beat allways... 'flat'? I'm not sure about the corrent term, but I've noticed that your two beat is always almost parallel with your arm. My 'sloppy' 2-beat really isn't.

Oh, and is the Figure 8 wich is in the 'learning' section basically also a 2-beat variation?

Thanks a lot!
