I’m just trying to get started with this and even though this is 6+ years old, and maybe it’s done in your bedroom, but this has, by far, helped me get started and actually moving forward. Like basketball, if you don’t know how to dribble, or pass, forget about making a basket. Sorry to ramble. These basics are a great foundation for building the dexterity and muscle memory to do even the basic tricks. Thanks for sharing. 🎉

This isn't a new tutorial, but it's the first one I understood and was able to follow. The first "slip" I did was the coolest moment I've had with my set of begleri and I can't wait to dive more into this hobby. Thank you musclebones!

You cant understand how good this tutorial is. After reading through forums and browsing websites the instructions for beginners are always just: Do THIS. This tutorial confines basic info and basic technique in the perfect way. Thank you very much for making my entry into this nieche hobby a LOT easies.

Hey I just started begleri yesterday, This video helped a ton! thank you so much! I don't have like an actual begleri or anything, just an old cut shoelace with two broken bearings at the end haha, but thanks!

Best tutorial I've seen on KZfaq so far, just started today. Thanks so much for walking through and taking time to explain!

Hands down best teacher regarding begleri tutorials. I’ve searched through approximately 17 “demonstrations “ before landing here (I won’t count ao2’s whole play list lol)

bro you're a god. by far the best beginner tutorial out there.

Big thanks to you, made my begleri just yesterday, watched a lot of tutorials on other channels but didn’t understood much out of them, and with your tutorial now i finally can do something with my begleri and deal with my anxiety, thanks a lot again!

Thanks for the video, I’ve been messing with my new begleri for a few hours with KZfaq videos in between and yours is the first to help the concept click in my head. I really appreciate it!

Been jolling a begleri since I was a boy on my 1st trip to the homeland. Saw you and got keen to learn more about 4 years ago. I’m still on this video 😅🤣 Just got back into it and learning the basics again. Your a legend.

Came across this from a Paracord version someone posted. Your video has inspired me to make a set of these, like right now! Really enjoyed this and was very informative, thank you

Thank you so much! I just found Begleri and searched for a beginner video and your video is perfect! Really well explained and shown. Going to work on those. Thank you again!

That's a very good tutorial which is very hard to find! Usually KZfaqrs don't know the difference between showing off and explain! Thanks

Just gotta say, you are a good teacher. Very well explained.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Best one out there so far! I love the basic combo flow to practice at the end. I've learned so much from watching all your videos! Can't wait for the next tutorial!

Love your videos mate, learning tons, very well explained, great job!

I finally understand grip transfers! Thanks for explaining it so well I was struggling on going back up :D

Thanks for making this video, for me It is crazy that a 7 year old video could help me getting started in something this cool, marcos (my friend) IS gonna love it

Just bought one and it's fun so far. I know balisong knife tricks well and it's weird that this is harder right now. I'm used to rigid handled instead of string. This video has helped tho. Gotta keep practicing

Wow...one of the best explanations for beginners I have found. Thank you so much for this!

i can hardly ever do a slip without the begleri flying out of my hand

You should do more of these, they're the best on KZfaq

You seem to have good advice in the foundations of bengleri, which seems lacking in most videos. Much appreciated. Only just managed to make a quick pair so taking a break now. I have a feeling I'll be watching a lot more of you.

Homie, great video. I've just picked this up and this tutorial has everything I need. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 😆🤘

I lived in Greece for a while and learnt the really hard ones only but these moves look so beautiful and hopefully when I've learned them I can do a cool looking combo 😎 thanks! x

Thank you brother I just started playing with a begleri your tutorial is a great help!

Started just yesterday . Found your video very helpful to a starter like me. Thank you

I know I'm a bit late on this, and that other people have probably already said the same thing, but I think the reason that some people find slips rather difficult is because if you have a slippery string, then the slip puts it in the perfect position and gives to the right momentum to let it slip between and off your fingers, causing it to launch forwards to god knows where. But take that as a guess from someone who started learning the art of Begleri less than a week ago, so there's a good chance I'm wrong. Edit: After some thought, I realize that the weight of your beads on your Begleri would also have a big impact on if it slips out of your hand or not. But again, I could be wrong.

This video is amazing. Thank you. I probably have a year's worth of work.

first video that teach me how to play this thing . thankyou dude

Thanks. I'm pushing 60 and just learned about these the other day after seeing a tutorial on how to make one with steel balls & paracord, creating a monkey fist on both ends. I've been playing with it non-stop since then

Why aren't you doing videos anymore? Your begleri tutorials are among the best out there! Thanks man, hope you still swing! I've been practising past couple of weeks and its a great pass time activity.

Thanks for such a helpful tutorial!!!

Each of those rebounds are making me wince in imagined pain! haha >.

thanks for that Video ! Amazing work keep on doing this!!!!!!!

That pinky grip transfer is a challenge! Finding this pretty approachable though, I know this is an old video (holy shit 2017 was 5 years ago) but it's useful today :)

Fantastic!! Thank you so much!

this is so help thank you so much!

Thank you this video was super helpful

Merci, je commence tout juste, avec un begleri plus court et fait-maison avec des perles en bois pour ne pas m'écrabouiller les ongles... Je rêve d'avoir un jour une "main magique" !!! From Montpellier-France

This is a great video

Thanks this help!

I have a background with balisong flipping so i was lucky enough to be able to roll the begleri down every grip fairly consistently after about 20 minutes

His begleri: o-----------o My begleri: o-----o

Any tips on thr grip transfer part? Also, great video!

Hey nice channel. Do you have any tips on how I can get my pinky to move independently from the rest of my hand? I can't do a mid grip wrap because I can't get my pinkie out of the way.

I like this video it's understandable

ngl this tutorial is actually the most helpful so far, despite my just starting and this video being old as shit lol

thanks a bunch for this!

great video

i was having trouble with slips and i figured out my problem was that i was spinning the begleri too fast to fit the slip in there nicely. i slowed down a bit and let the weight of the beads do the work and slips became much easier.

AWESOME BRO

Thanks man!

Im having trouble with the gap transfers can you do a full video about it?

When you say "hey so you here that" at 4:36 it activated "hey Siri" on my phone

its very good, followed

When I do slips, it actually slips and flies of somewhere lol. You got any tips so I can move my fingers more independently?

nice tutorial!

Thank you so much, this really helped. I am new with my begleri and I found your channel when I got my begleri. Pls respond! Musclebones

Do you have any reccomendations of starter begleri that i can find online

You got a new subscriber

Hi, just spinning too fast, perhaps hold the moving bead with your other hand to show where its going in slow motion. Thanks for the reply.

Thank you

best beginner tutorial I have found. Thank you! Do you have an instagram?

Nice video man, I'm just getting started with begleri and I see that for some moves like rebounds for example people tend to have there fingers facing forwards and the begleri spinning around them. But for other moves I see poeple have there fingers facing either right or left and the begleri is spinning towards and away from them if you know what I mean. Is one way better because I can't see how you can have flow when your having to change the axel the begleri is spinning on? and which way should I learn first? Thanks

when i want to train with it, the bead always hit the bones of my fingers... it hurts.

O MY GOD I SAW YOUR VIDEO AND I MADE MY FIRST SLIP

What size paracord is on your Begleri and what is the distance between the two? Yours looks more flexible and movable!

bro ty man

thanks m8, and keeep it up

mine have metal rings on each end so i can stick fingers through. but they get slowed down a lot by the size it takes away. and beween my middle and ring finger there is a huge gap even if i close the fingers tight that i let the begleri that i'm handling fall all the time lmao (makes me have to swing my hand around to keep the flow)

I kind of prefer the kompoloi but im looking forword to learn begleri too. Greetings frpm greece 🇬🇷❤️

I think what's making slips difficult for me is the angle my fingers are at compared to my palm. Showing grips is often done with a flat palm, but when slinging you actually bring your straight fingers in towards your palm, so that your fingers and palm make an ~90 degree angle. When you try and slip, If you make a "fist" with a flat palm your grip does a full 180 and the string wraps around your palm. If your fingers are already at 90 degrees your grip only moves 90 degrees and the string spins smoothly past your knuckles.

Are thumb chucks and begleris the same? I'm curious

9:42 How do you even do that, bending the pinky while the ring finger is straight? XD When fixing my ring finger in the straight position I have no control over my pinky. Am I missing muscles, the proper neurological wiring or are my tendons to blame? The last two are theoretically fixable.

My string in the middle is about 4 inches... Since I'm only thirteen my hands are quite small. Do you recommend I make a new one and make the string longer or just leave it?

Does the thickness of the cord make some difference or is it a preference thing? I see a lot of folks using 550 paracord. Thanx in advance.

i made a begleri out of 16 washers, some string i found, and some duct tape

Do you have a recommended begleri for a beginner? I just learned of it today and am interested in not getting a bad one as I want it to last me a while.

when i do the wrap the string goes sometimes on the right of the beed, is that a problem? also sometimes it stays on the beed. can someone tell me?

Thanks nice video, it’s normal that I looks like a total failure in the beginning?

Hey man i live the vids just found em today i made a begleri out of a shoelace and 4 nuts will u ever do youtube again?

Where did you get the beads?

Whenever I try slips the beads slip out lmao

How heavy are your beads?

what is the length of the string in this video?

Is my thumb too small or am I just not getting it… I can’t reach the string when I twirl it

Just a suggestion, please could you do a few videos just on combos, maybe a beginner, intermediate and advanced one, just to give us that are new some exercises to practice. That would be awesome :o)

🤘🤠

❤🔥👍

Thing i'm having trouble with is at the double finger wrap in mid grip, I can't tuck my pinky finger in, while extending my ring finger. Idk why, my left hand does it np but my right hand seems unable too.. Any ways i cud practice, or train that?

Thanks for the tutorials man, really helpful. Are you using AO2 Titans? Also, the Around Square website disagrees with the terminology that you use, that is high grip and standard grip (top grip) are the other way around...? www.aroundsquare.com/begleri/

Are you gripping betwen the meat of your fingers or between the bones of the knuckle joints?

I have a quick question. I tried to learn this in a half hour sitting, and I got everything up to grip transfers. I had a VERY difficult time with them. Do they take a while to learn, or should I have gotten them by now? If I could get a reply, I would really appreciate the help!

I had a big bead begleri for xmas gift from my older sis and I have smol hands:< I wish I can do tricks

it serves as a self defense weapon: but requires training to weaponize it suitfully for those porposes but modifying that toy could cause serious danger ...i started with slingshots ,now i shall proceed on paracord knocklebones ...

How do you not murder your knuckles when using the top grip? It hits against the back of my hand. The length of my begleri is 6 inches and my palm is 4 inches. Should I be using a longer or shorter length?

I hae been practising for begeleri for two weeks now and I am getting sore hands doyou have any tips?

gosh this is more addictive than drugs

I love the hobby of begleri but the tricks are so difficult
