Aerial contact

what is a chinese twist? is it a butterfly twist?

there is no way you could b-twist during a contact roll. its hard enough holding a stick...

i agree! that why i want to know what a chinese twist is!

Yeah butterfly twist if you want

you could do what is called a "body twist" in wushu, its like spinning your body through a backbend position, with both feet on the ground, so you could hypothetically do a full neckwrap or vertical matrix kinda trick with it.

Nop I mean a horizontal twist into a aerial butterfly ( like in wushu or capoiera or extreme martial art )

Yesterday I have found a coup-de-pied à la lune ( a oblical gainer i don't know the translation ) on staff

A G Gainer, also called a J step Gainer.....

still dont believe a contact roll while doing a b-twist is possible....

G-Gainer sounds way more plausable, but still rediculous

The "b-twist" is not really a roll... The staff is throwing with the body so you don't touch the staff, you just catch it after.

gumop, that sounds cool man. i'm trying to work towards doing aerial stuff with poi.

tankboy, everything is possible! it just take more practice

No....some things are impossible...

OO the second part is so crazy XD

Cool videos...I really like the Monkey Staff form. Been into it for a while,

But if you notice....people who are very good at tumbling, and staff manipulation still dont do contact rolls while they tumble...

That's because contact rolls are worse than useless for martial arts and also very difficult to do with center weighted light staffs like they use.

But happily, that doesn't need to be the case with rhythmic gymnastics and good old baton twirling! Who doesn't like a front walkover into a leg roll to throw? Stick an illusion in there and it'll be sweeeeeeeeeeet.

This not an exemple :s guys it was just for sharing ^^

And a tornado kick with a angel roll ( 360° not the 540 one ), nop ?

I didn't watch the video's is that angel roll 540 in there?

i miss Mr Burning Ninjas insights into contact... i wonder where he's gone?

Nop mcp it's just a holding one...
