Literally learnt it in 5 mins, 10/10

i really needed this so i can use this against younglings

I almost killed myself several times but I finally learned how to spin

I practised it with my tennis racket and now I'm thinking about what impression it would make on my opponent if I did the spin when going onto the court.

i am shocked this video isn't from 2008, this video has nostalgic youtube vibes that i can't describe and i love it

Title: Learn Obi-Ani spin in JUST 5 MINUTES! Video length: *8 minutes* Me: I see through the lies of the jedi!

I am surprised you started with stretches, so many don't mention this vital part, well done, and mad skill

This guy is wholesome, yet kind of edgy, I find that very interesting

Just a simple man trying to make his way through the galaxy

Alternate intro- "hey guys my name is Jake, from state farm, and today we are going to learn about car insurance"

Wha- What am I doing in here?! I don't even have a lightsaber, i need to learn for my exam and go to sleep, what am doing in here?!

really in depth compared to the other ones I’ve watched. Finally understood how to smoothly go from the back to the front. Truly wizard👍

I broke my fans light dome But hay, I learned how to do the obi ani twirl really well

I’ve mastered the skill a few years ago. My friends saw me recording it in the dark with my YDD saber and they were like, “holy shit, are you Padawan Anakin?!”

This was indeed helpful. I already knew the basic spin, but I couldn’t figure out the back one. It might’ve been a little harder because my saber has a larger handle than average… but regardless, with a little variation to what I do, I could perform all of that. Once again very helpful! I appreciate your good explanation and display of the motion together.

This man is dedicated! He did a full stretch out and everything 💙💙

I’m practicing this with a $10 target lightsaber 🧍🏼

I had been trying to learn this spin for a whole year and couldn't figure it out! Thank you so much for this video, super helpful and I can now Obi-Ani just in time for May the 4th!!!

Thanks for a short helpful little video! I’m an “OLDER” collector with several Disney Legacy Lightsabers and one of the original ones made for Mark Hamill during filming in the late 70’s. But I’ve never tried to spin them like this… You proved it’s not that hard with a little practice… Thanks! …and May The Force Be With You. ;o)

Self taught this to myself, but I can definitely relate to the stress it gives to your shoulder and wrists. Took a good week before it didn't bother me.

The reason why it took me a while to figure out figure 8 is because I thought you had to drop it but carry the saber outside your arm with your thumb, but it turns out you just have to hold it with your whole hand and bring it around. But overall I figured out how to spin this thing perfectly. BTW you are a really good teacher and I hope you can post more in the future.

I’m gonna save for a saber and I’m going to do this to flex on my friends lol

Thank you so SO much!!!!! i was having a lot of difficulty following other tutorials but you really put it into the right words and broke down the motions perfectly. thank you!!

You're a legend, dude! Been trying to learn this spin for weeks, your video broke it down and made it so easy!!

Hey guys I think Jake likes lightsabers

“How to learn the Obi-Ani spin in just 5 minuets.” Video: *8 minuets long* Anakin: LIAR!

This is such a simple tutorial, I actually learnt really quickly, thank you Jake!! ❤️

This is pretty slick. My saberforge lightsaber probably won't be here for a couple months, but I'm going to come back to this when it arrives so i can learn it

GREAT VIDEO! I just practiced for a bit and you definitely were a great teacher! Struggled a bit on the spinning/bringing behind part but I got the hang now I just need to practice more for muscle memory, then I'll try out the variation

For those of my friends learning this spin - try it first with some small cylindrical thing, and not actually 3 feet long lightsabers. It might help if you keep hitting yourself.

Thanks for the tutorial. Just got my first lightsaber at the age of 46. The stretch segment won me over. It’s the little things like that that get me to sub. Great video. Can’t wait to gleen what you know. I’ll keep you posted on the progress. Thank you again for your perfect breakdown.

I learnt not only how to do a single spin but also A figure eight and an obi ani spin in under an hour and I'm dripping sweat. Thanks!

Been doing this for weeks and still can’t get down the figure 8 part

Wow, as a Kendō enthusiast that last spin where the tilt is on the outside of the arm was very hard to learn for me before and this video actually helped me, Thank you ^^/...

The way he moves the saber is quite mesmerizing tbh.

Brilliant tutorial!!! I’m 43 and going to Orlando in January with the kids, i have to learn the Obi ani by then so I can impress my kids when we make our first proper light sabre. Life goals after 40 right😆

I hit the window multiple times but at least it didn’t break. And since I’m Doing this in a balcony it did fly away multiple times but at least I can do it

Whoever is struggling with the "Drop away from your hip" part.. Just slide your fist towards the front of your waist.. it will automatically drop away from your waist.

You can't find a video that explains the front spin correctly, only the back spin. This is the only video/channel that shows and explains and breaks down all the movements clearly. I got it! Thank you!

This is the most helpful tutorial I have ever found on how to do the Obi-Ani! You broke it down so well that I was able to pick it up fast. I've been trying to learn since May and I wish I watched this all the way back then!

“Learn the Obi-Ani Spin in JUST 5 MINUTES” Video: *8 minutes long* Me: How many other lies have I been told my the council?

Hello everybody this is Jake from State Farm

Dude I always used to do the Obi-Ani but I never knew it was called that until I saw your vid. Great video man it really helped me refine the movement!

Thanks mate! I knew how to do the figure eight but I liked learning the backwards moves. Thank you so very much for sharing! You rock!

Getting ready tp be a lightsaber owner be like : *happy parent noises

Hey man, thanks for the sub! You totally didn’t have to do that. Wonderful tutorials! Keep up the good work, and may The Force be with you!

After a rewatch or two really got the hang of it, the steps are clear and you'll be spinning in no time at all, would highly recommend this if you want a skill to show off.

Thank you!!! Much more understandable than other tutorials i watched

Funny thing is I just taught myself this yesterday but with a double sided saber lol.

I’m having trouble making it smoothly away from my heqd

Really like the way you explain it with steps and then proceed to do something completely different than what you just explained

This is KZfaq gold imho. Learning how to do a lightsaber spin. This is what YT is all about man

Im about to go to DisneyLand in a week and do the "build a lightsaber" thing, so thank you for this video, now I would look like a jackass when I get my expensive toy!

i just realized i done that when i was a kid without knew that was a movement

Kudos, your explanation is way more understandable than most I 've seen!

I’m so confused rn lol, I do exactly what he says to do but it looks nothing like what he’s ACTUALLY doing

Obi-Arni spin? Obi wan Arnold Schwarzenegger spin? Or Arnikin Skerwerker? (also nice spinning tute)

Thanks! I’ve been trying to do the back part for so long and have never been able to do it correctly until now. Thanks

Love the Lonely Buttons! Excellent instructional video.... well done, taught well... perfect. I would be remiss to mention that I would be sending my saber over both fences!

YO I LEARNED THIS IN 20 MINUTES THANK YOU SO MUCH

Helped me alot, thank you!

Dude... After sooo many other vids... This was the one that got the back spin part to make sense thanks man

Thanks for the tutorial I had a blast learning the obi ani saber spin. Still perfecting the technique.

that over the head spin at the end was dope

Ur vid is high quality. All u rlly need is to edit ur vid properly and u will start to become popular. U could add good transitions and bg music to make the content even more professional

Excellent instruction. Best Obi Ani how-to I’ve seen. 👍

Thank you for this. Finally got the flow of this. For me it was all about the shoulder

The part I’m confused is dropping it from your back i feel like I’m breaking my wrist I can’t really get it

For the force You look exactly like a Jedi Teach me your secrets Master

Best breakdown step by step I've seen. Great job and following from a 50yr old Starwars junkie

went from never having picked up a saber to almost being able to do this, just need to work on the figure 8 a little and i think ive got it! thanks man

I'm still precticing on it almost there!thank you!this helped alot

Thanks dude, I kinda got it after watching this step by step. Now to get quicker and more accurate. Great video

This was the third obi Ani lesson I watched. I wished I had seen this one first you explained the middle part much better. Nice work.

Great Job! Thank you for showing all of us this 5 mins tutorial.

Dude, your lessons are so basic yet to easy to grasp. I'm working my way thru all of your tutorials one at at time.

Still got the moves

These are good tips for lightsaber spinning. I have my first saber and i want more sabers. Hopefully i get well with these skills. These helped out alot.

this really helped me! i’m planning on doing this in my school talent show and this definitely helped me improve

Hi!!! :) I am on your website now, which one is the light saber you used in this video??

You're Rock Master Jedi!! I've been learning a lot with you!! I'm going to the Hollywood Studios in Savi's Workshop to building my own lightsaber and then I'll do the Obi-ani lightsaber spin. Thanks a lot!! May the force be with you!! 🧖🏼🧘🏼🗡️

have always been so amazed with the gesture for months and now, I am able to do it with ease

"Learn the Obi-Ani spin in JUST 5 MINUTES" *is an 8 minute video How many other lies have I been told by the council?

Can't wait to get my saber to practice this. Thanks Jazz.

No other video was showing the tip of the saber pointing up when it goes behind the back so I wasn’t getting it until now thanks to you 😆

Ok. So. 5 min later, and I can do it. First ever try at it too. 10/10 would recommend this video

I've tried to teach this and found it very hard to do in slo-mo. Nice job. I'll be pointing people to this vid from now on.

I understand the whole needless thing but to put my mind at rest I like to think about it this way: It shows how their skills were so matched that when doing the spin they were looking for a mistake in the opponent for an opportunity to strike but ended up striking the same in the end. It shows how their skills are so matched

Can't wait to get myself trained. Very good instructions.

It's Jake's world! party time! Excellent!

Best tutorial, actually just learned it in 5 minutes

Praticing this with my extendable purple feather duster lol! One day I'll be able to get a lightsaber of my own I hope! But nice tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done mate. Easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

I learned how to do the obi ani spin!!! Thank you!

Finally, a video on this!

Awesome! Thank you! Excellent tutorial! I receive my first lightsaber very soon! Blessings

Love it it's super fun to do and I can do it 24/7

This was really good actually did it in a bout 5ish minutes thank you

Trying this with a two handed LARP sword is a WORKOUTT but I’m obsessed tysmmmm
