Thank you so very much.

Thank you very much!

Hey there, thanks very much for your comment! Yes, following what I'm showing in this video will give you an advantage--I'm sure of it. Word of advice: practice slowly at first, being as patient as you can be. Get the technique right. Speed will come without effort on your part from the flawless technique. AND once you have the technique and speed, there will be no limit on quick and precise drop-cutting, picking from a stack, dragging (penicil-off), cutting-into, and so forth. Good luck!

@@TomaszGoetel Thank you, and thanks for the video!

@@TomaszGoetel Hey man, update to this, been watching and practicing for a few hours and ive completely got it with both hands, its not so difficult once you get past the cramp and pain in your hands haha, now time to try and practice the speed and another amounts of chips! thanks again! BTW this message was really hard to type, my ring and pinky finger are cramping so much haha!

@@jamieboi11 Sounds good! I'm glad to hear that your hand hurts. Drop the shoulder and elbow, relax the wrist, and soften your hand when roll-cutting. Let the stack feel a bit heavier in your hand. Once you've got the technique, then the speed starts coming, then start cutting without looking.

Thank you for your comment, which irony isn't lost on me. I dig it. You are onto something!

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much. It was fun for me to make that video.

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you're cutting better now!

Are you asking about the spreading of chips/cheques? If yes, then: 1. Preserve all finger position the same as it should be when holding the stack (forming a cross, as shown in the video above). But the tip of the index finger goes on top of the chips. 2. When spreading chips, relax your shoulder, wrist, and hand. Most difficulties with spreading chips come from poor finger position and too much tension in the wrist. I hope this helps you in some way. Thanks for watching my video.

Thanks very much for your comment.

Thank you for your comment. Stick to the ideas, go slow, be a little patient. It sounds like you're doing well. The speed will come later. If your technique is good, speed is guaranteed. At the highest level of competence, you will cut accurately, fast, and make it look easy. Good luck!

I am happy to hear that. Thank you very much for your comment.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Thank you. I’m glad to hear that you liked it. How’s the cutting going?

@@TomaszGoetel Thanks for your reply! I've heard I should instead pay a casino $20 and get stack of $1 chips to practice with. Do most casinos allow you to take chips home?

@@michaeliedon6557 Yes, they do. No problem there. Those chips (called "cash chips") would be very good to practice with as they're quite heavy. Go for it! Let me know how it goes.

@@TomaszGoetel on twitter/fb? i'll let you know how my table games training goes. been looking at online courses too. very excited to learn

@@michaeliedon6557 Yes, Facebook name the same as here.

Well she talks about it. While your own masculine has shifted its POV you will not see the change taking place everywhere in this matter

Your comment is a perfect example of “patriarchy” . You are putting forth your own theory as correct despite its being based on misinformation and misunderstanding. Patriarchy is not about pathology but on the hegemony of privileging the masculine while demonizing the feminine. The goal is not to replace patriarchy with a matriarchy but to bring these two energies into balance.

Patriarchy is a nonexistent superstition?! Are you from another planet?? In many contries till this day women don’t have a right to vote and in many civilized countries that right happened in the last 50 years. Women were denied the right to education for centuries! It’s simply astonishing to see the level of ignorance some people have. Simply delusional. Feminism is a movement that asks for women equal rights with men, a right that was negated and is negated even today. Women are also till this day not payed equally. Should I go on?!

Bikewithlove Believing as you do, it’s really kind of wonderful that you are listening to Marion Woodman at all-even with caution and a skeptical eye. Kudos on doing that work, putting yourself around those of us who don’t believe that “feminism is women banding together to destroy men” but women and men-I’m sure you know there are men who are feminists-banding together to change attitudes and laws that have damaged us, so that our daughters and sons don’t have to experience the same wounds. I hope you stick around with this thinking, see what develops.

Donna Glee Williams - I don’t ‘beleive’ as I do; I have experience. Feminism, on the other hand, is a belief system - and it’s a destructive, chaotic belief system that holds reason and individual accountability in contempt. Look at the responses to my comments. Do you see thoughtful, rational engagement, or do you see dismissive, accusatory attempts to dominate the conversation? I see the latter. Observe that I don’t level accusations or dismissals at anyone, but notice the aggression and hostility leveled at my observations. If feminism is about uniting men and women, I’m not seeing any feminists doing that here. Of course, one can always blame it on ‘patriarchy’ to abdicate personal responsibility. That’s what the term is there for ;) I take pity on self-labeled (therefore self-negated) feminists. It’s a lot of bitterness to carry around over a lifetime. It must be very frustrating to feminists to have to combat the invisible, omnipresent ‘toxic masculine’ adversary every waking minute. I prefer to work a job, cook, paint, occasionally make love with a young woman, and go for long drives listening to music. I’m very fortunate to have keenly observed this ideological preoccupation in women and avoided most of the trouble it causes. I can withstand a little bit of loneliness - it keeps me at my job and out of courtrooms. I’m going out for a glorious drive now. It’s great to be single these days, free of the squint and tyranny of feminism in my home. The perseverations of bitter feminist academics have no place in my life. I merely live. Life’s hard enough. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors to make me more ‘equal,’ though I hope you’ll forgive me when you don’t get the result you expected.

@@Bikewithlove please do not feel you have to take pity on me for my self labelling, just as I do not pity you. I am a feminist and feel no bitterness or aggression but have a deep desire to see a society in which equality of opportunity and respect are fundamental tenets. I would ask you to consider on a rational basis, the fairness or respect in social, economic and legal systems which in so many countries and cultures have preferenced men? This is factual, non emotional history. I find it interesting to read in your last paragraph that you are 'free of the squint and tyranny' of feminism yet challenge previous commentary as being dismissive, accusatory attempts to dominate whilst making some very assertive statements throughout your text. I think if you were able to really listen to Marion Woodman with an open heart rather than scepticism, you would realise that she is full of respect for the masculine - but not of the bullying, tyrannical, undeveloped nature. A mature life is about mutual respect

Thank you, Matt. I will try to make more, time allowing.

Tomasz Goetel awesome! Also I’d welcome if you wanted to use an audio recording of me teaching a class to break down a section of it for another video. I’m a new instructor (only teaching for 8 months, a vinyasa Class 1x a week, part time). If you would like, I can email it to ya. I think that would be helpful for me, and also any of your viewings enjoying this breakdown

Sure, Matt. Email to me at ubiktime at gmail.com. If you like, shoot a 10-minute video of your class with your iPhone by placing your phone somewhere in the room, or ask someone to film for you. Some time half-way through the class is best. Upload the clip to KZfaq as "unlisted" or "private" and send me the link. I can then discuss it here or by private email to you-you can choose.
