I want to see someone doing the Obi-Ani on the move, and as an offensive attack. The way Anakin used it on Mustafar

The roses are red Bb8 are round Anakin dont try it I have the high ground

One of prequel's tremendous contribution to society.

I'm not sure what's more frightening... the amount of lightsabers you own or the child dressed as Darth Vader watching you in the corner

something is in your dryer

That's a *lot* of lightsabers. I don't even have one saber. Tbh, I do the moves with an umbrella.

BB is looking nervous with sabers flying everywhere. At least Vader is smart enough to retreat to the corner. The next time that sliding glass door opens, he's punching up outta there!LOL

she makes it so easy and i'm still having trouble with the twirls, but the flow and spins that she does on the blade she does is so elegantly and with finesse....the best obi-ani spin video i've seen in here...

When you said, "when you start out, be dramatic", it CLICKED.

Hey everyone! It's been a while can't believe all the views! I'm sorry haven't posted anything in a while but I will be starting new videos in the near future. More tutorials to come!

This is actually the most helpful video I’ve found on this move. I’ve totally been overthinking it. Thanks for the great explanation!!

Her: "Sword." Me: A Sword? You Think That Is Just a Sword, Just a Sword???

Am I the only one who would want to have a red light saber more than any other color?

I showed my 3 year old daughter this and she strait away said that lady is naughty she's playing inside. And she wants a red one.haha😂

I think there’s something really cool about each trilogy’s style of dueling. The originals often involve talking while the fight is happening. There are pauses for dialogue, etc, and the duels, while simplistic, allow for more cinematic screen-caps. The prequels (the superior duels) incorporate incredible choreography into the fights. There are spins and flourishes the original trilogy lacked. The sequels use a lot of emotion in the duels. There are a lot of close ups to show what each fighter is expressing. The fighting is a bit more barbaric in style, finding a nice balance between the well-trained Jedi of the prequels and the less refined Luke and old Obi-Wan of the originals. The sequels are all about attacking the opponent with as much ferocity as you can muster. The prequels are very much about visually appealing fights. The originals are very archaic and dialogue is used a lot. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule. The Anika vs Obi-Wan fight, I feel, incorporates my favorite aspects from each trilogy because there’s dialogue, beautiful choreography, and the ferocity is definitely there in their attacks. They lack a lot of the traditional grace I associate with the prequels solely because of the raw emotion involved in the most epic fight between two characters in the franchise and perhaps in cinema history)

She’s a women of culture I see

Thank you, youre the first person to actually show me the moves and not just showing off, cheers 😊

This is the most captivating Star Wars fan video I've ever seen. My eyes were like Mon Calamari size the whole time.

THANK YOU! Your explanation, slow movements, and repetitiveness is what i needed. I wasn't getting it... kept hitting my back. You helped me out alot, so thank you!

I'm a college professor of much more complex topics, science, mathematics......but I recognize a damn good teacher when I see one! Way to go! this is an exceptional video and I'm practicing with my saber while you're on the big screen. Thank you!

Thank you for the training advice Master Heylel. May the force be with you :D

Man before KZfaq and tutorials were a thing I remember going back and forth on the DVD during the scenes to learn this....

Bless you for going over it so slowly and thoroughly! 💕

That was a missed opportunity for you to say "judge me by my size do you?" Awesome tutorial my gf and I using your demo the most so far we almost have it down.

An excellent display of handling a melee weapon. In Filipino martial arts we have lots of material; you do a great job guiding folks through the steps to do weapon handling!

Amazing Sword Master, You are.

I think I'm in love with you 😂 Love your spins and lightsaber collection 😊

I watched like 6 different lesson videos and all of them are like "It's fine, just do this!" then proceed to do it at full speed/make you go to another one of their videos to learn it, but this was the best and easiest lesson to learn. I finally got it, so thank you!

I'm not a Star Wars fan anymore but when I was a kid I was (kinda); your explanation of the obi spin was spot on.

The analogy of unsheathing a sword was super helpful! Thanks!

I've been trying to figure out the obi-ani since I saw it in theaters this helped so much thank you..may the force be with you

it took me 30 min and a broken tv and 2 bottles to learn this... WORTH IT!

I never thought I would ever considered getting a lightsaber until now, I definitely want one.

after watching this for 30 minutes and using my Anakin saber, i got it down pretty great! Yours is the only tutorial that helps me to understand, so thank you!!

not gonna lie, after watching this video I decided to buy an ultra saber and get into learning moves like this. I think the way you explain thing is very clear, would love to see more.

The sound of your dryer running soothes me

omg that double Obi-Ani looks soooo cool Asajj Ventress is one of my favorite characters and i love her dual lightsabers

Hi Heylel, I've rediscovered SW thanks to my son, had a arm injury and told to weald a baseball bat or similar, thought a sabre would be cooler, watched some tutorials and had no idea what was going on. Stumbled upon this one, your a great teacher, well explained and a nice pace with many repeats and angles. Notice you've not done much new content I suspect due to some comments. You're getting a lot of views, over 15T and I'm sure the few are annoying and upsetting, in reality 14T say nothing and most of those who do are nice. You're a great teacher, maybe you are a real teacher (i.e. we'd call it junior school in the uk 4-11 year olds) or perhaps you should consider it!, and running something like this would be a great differentiator. Ignore the idiots and please do some more. Best wishes.

9:33 look it's general grievous. Amazing video

Thank you for the tutorial, it's really helped! Also, that dubstep lightsaber made my day.

I like to stop the Obi-Ani some times mid-back, center the blade pointing up and then perform a forward/upward slash, followed by whatever. The slash can be at any angle and followed by almost any other technique. Excellent tutorial btw!

May the force be you, Jedi

Alright. I've been seeing a bunch of videos on this move, and NONE of them have been helpful until now. The Sword's Path version was nearly there, but I just couldn't figure it out. This helped me so much! I'm not positive I am doing exactly the way it's supposed to be done, but if I'm not, I suppose I made a new form of the spin, and that's good enough for me!

Your video is very helpful! I can understand your instructions very well, so thanks for posting this!

That was a great presentation and tutorial. Thanks a lot, wish I woulda came across this two years ago haha.

This looks great when you get it up to speed. Thanks for posting.

I've watched a lot of tutorials and this one's the easiest to understand! Thank you!

Great video and super helpful. Thank you for posting and keep up the great work

I figured out how to do this as a child when I watched Episode 3. I literally tried this for almost two weeks after the movie until I did it right. Also I think it's really rare to see a woman who is into Star Wars like this. Also it must be pretty easy for her to start a conversation. Just show this as a woman to a random guy and he would probably talk nonstop to you for hours.

i have a crimson scorpion myself and i love it. it is a beast though. Love the tutorial, very well done. i was doing the Obi-Ani but just learned the lotus with you. Thanks! i subscribe!

I've watched so many videos trying to understand the obi ani since I just got my first saber! Yours has been by far the most helpful though. I was having so much trouble with it until your video! slowing it down to .5 speed also helped a lot until I got the movements.

I think I'm in love. With your saber skills. (and you😍)

This was REALLY helpful!!!! Can you add some more trick tutorials? You are a great teacher!!!

I’ve found it really easy to try the obi ani in your left hand before doing it with both until it’s instinctive. Then you can do it in both hands. It’s harder to do both at the same time so I do it with a bit of space between them. So you’re doing the obi ani’s with one just a moment behind the other. I personally think it looks cooler and is much easier to do

Much to learn, you still have, young padawan.

Love the dubstep lightsaber

it took me 3 days to find ur video and finally I understand how to do it, so THANK YOU!

thank you so much for this lesson. I did it for a straight hour and i learned it pretty quickly. Great teacher. Subbed ^^

Best video so far that showed me how to do the obi-ani. Thank you my master

You mentioned swaying. On the dual obi-ani, perhaps the solution is to start them right first then left, not so closely synchronized, so you can sway for the right then sway for the left; when they’re closely synchronized, You aren’t swaying. Excellent tutorial, by the way!! Thank you!!

Love this tutorial! Keep em coming! Liked and subscribed!

THIS IS THE EASIEST TUTOURIAL EVER THANK YOU

Thank you for the tips. I found this video quite beneficial to my training.

I'm literally stuck on the behind the back part. I didn't realize it flipped to the reverse spin at that point. I've watched like 5 tutorials on this, but yours gives me good of mastering this.

For double sabers, it’s easier for me to establish a “lead saber” and a follower - and alternate between the two, with the front hip leading the lead saber. And once I’ve got that down, trying to do at the same time (like the butterfly in poi).

This is so cool. I want to get into lightsaber combat now

THANKS! I could never get lightsaber tricks but this was very informative

YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEACHER PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS ON THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPIN LIGHT SABERS!!!!

easier two handed if you alternate. Start the right then as you sweep to the back on the right, start the left :) looks awesome

You should put your dedication to something useful, like Kali. You would fall in love with Escrima box patterns and sinwali. Fun, effective, deadly.

You are awesome I'm buying a couple lightsabers this week and I was wondering how to spin the sabre thank you

Great tutorial, thanks!

awesome tutorial! you explained it really well

Neat trick! Thanks for the demo.

Nice, this was actually easier to watch than some other tutorials for some reason, I'm still working on it, but I think I can get the hang of it now. A couple things I would like to point out for new viewers, spend extra time working on front and back spins, get your arm(s) and wrist(s) used to the motion it makes. Find out how far you need to be from your body so you don't hit yourself. Think of it as a real light saber and if you hit yourself, you lose a limb (or worse :P). Getting this down will not only help you with the ObiAni and Lotus, but if you do any other kind of fancy moves, you won't have to think about it. I still have a bit of trouble with a back spin and need to practice more with that myself, it's just because it feels unnatural. Second, I don't recommend curved hilt sabers. I personally own the Ultrasabers Mantis and it can get away from you because the bent hilt throws off the center of balance. It's not impossible to do and I've seen it done, but it makes it much harder to wield it with these moves because the end of the hilt could twist in your hand and throw the whole thing of center. Also the way the Mantis is designed, the center of mass when you hold it in your hand (the choke point) puts it on a collar that isn't very comfortable to hold. Other curved hilts don't have this issue, but they're still not the best for these types of orbits. If you find yourself having a difficult time wielding your saber, get yourself some nice leather gloves. I use them in our cutlass training (pirates, woo!) and it makes a big difference both in how much stress you put on your hands and fingers AND gives you a much better grip. Don't skimp on the cost either, fake leather will wear out quickly and some use materials that actually cause it to slip more than regular leather.

“The force is strong with you! A powerful sith you will become, Henceforth you should be known as Darth...” hahaa! your ability is impressive great performance! Greetings!

Windu’s saber looks so badass

Very smooth...very nice!

Very nice. Thank you for the video. Love to see more for sure. I had the obi ani going good but the next part was a tad more complicated for me. Almost got it now. :) Thanks again.

oh my dear, you seem to have like at least 6 sabers? Deep into that :) likes

Been a long time since you did a vid. That was a really good tutorial with some different perspectives that you don't get in other tutorials. You should do some more considering the fact you got over half a million views on this one.

Thanks for actually teaching us, instead of just showing off like some others do.

When doing that with dual lightsabers, it would look cool if you held one of them the other way round, so when spinning them around, if you go fast enough, you'll create what looks like a ball of light or a shield around you. Well done for learning that. All great Jedi Masters were once just aprentices, even Yoda. ;)

I developed a dual obiani kata back in 2006. In this flourish, I hold one of the sabers in a reverse grip. Try it out.

Awsome video! What saber could u recomend that you can be a bit rough with

Well explained and demonstrated.

Great tuto !

This helped instantly, I can easily do it now, thanks so much

Thank you for your tutorial! It was incredibly helpful and I was definitely overthinking it. Now, I’ll be practicing to make it smooth. I am 6’0” and it helped me to switch to a shorter blade for now to get the moves down and not hit my ceiling. This is just another tall girl problem I’ve encountered. 😂 I may have to switch to outside in the future as my ceilings aren’t vaulted and I’m guessing 8’0”. I can almost touch them without anything in my hand. Great job representing female SW fans, as there are plenty and we also love wielding a saber. This will make my Jedi cosplay look even more authentic when I become confident in my obi ani and lotus.

As I was learning the obi-ani I hit my leg so many times but it was so worth it

Thanks for the instructional video . Very clear and simple instructions to follow. (Y)

Thanks! I’ve watched l lot of videos on this and yours was the most useful

i really like it when anakin does it but doing the spin with his lightsaber is pretty hard cause all the gadgets get in the way

Thanks for the well-built tutorial! I'm just a little confused at why would someone want to spin multiples times in a row behind their back, but that's a lore problem ;)

I like how she has the dryer running in the background.

You make it look so easy! Dang I suck at this. MOOOOAAAARRRR PRACTICE for me! :D Great video, and thanks for making it!!

I'm using a Darth Vader and a Skywarker reforged legacy sabers, wich are very heavy, and I think I'm actually doing great! The hardest are the bodie movements!

Hey! Goodjob! The flow is very nice

The Force, is strong with you" young one.

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing!
