Day 4: Overhead Flower Technique

your hands and sword are out of frame at the most important parts🥹

I wish there was a way to share a video of me doing this so I could get some feedback if I am doing it right!

Hi! Would it be possible to see hands and upper body during the transition moment? That’s the part that is most confusing for me and being able to see full upper body from the front and back would help a lot. I’m worried I’m not going to be able to get this down otherwise

It’s hard to see what you are doing up top the camera is cut off

Can’t really see how your hand and sword moves, out of frame

I think I got it - but a close up of hand positioning would be greatly appreciated!!

It would be so helpful to have a slow break down of the movements on this technique bc it's hard to see and even tho you say it's easy, I think it's one of the hardest to replicate so far.

I love this particular flower - once I got it right and could do it at normal speed, the sound of the sword 'whooshing" became audible (and I'm only using a carbon fiber practice pirate saber at this point)! Mind you, I'd practiced at it for some time so that I was quite warm, so the slight breeze created by the whoosh was quite welcome! I'm ambidextrous, and I want to be able to use two swords at once eventually, so I made the effort to learn the overhead flower on the left side too, although I understand that it may not be used in the standard flows. I'm really starting to enjoy this!! :D

Once you backed up I could see that you release some of your fingers like a regular outside flower and it was easier to do

Your hands are out of frame. I can't see how exactly you're twisting your hand up there
