End of Helix Help

[GetTheFood11]

Okay so I have a trainer blade (not allowed to have a real one yet) and I can do the Helix now, but I have some concerns about the end of the move. About half the time I do the move, I don't feel what would be the blade hitting my fingers. The other half of the times I do the Helix, I feel metal lightly or not so lightly hit my fingers when I do the wrist flick thing at the end and I'm worried it will cut me when I get a sharp balisong. Any tips you guys have for me about the end of the Helix?

Depends on how shard the knife is, although you'll eventually get the timing down so that it will never hit

Vincent Dark has a couple of methods in his Helix tut here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyoHPbo6KMQ
I personally flick it up without rebounding, once you get the timing done it isnt too bad.

Perhaps when you get your blade you can practice zen rolls a bit slower till you feel more confident and build it up from there

that tutorial is all you need to know about the move
and worrying about getting cut i can help you with that one, let getting cut be you're teacher (no emo)

Haha no emo and alrighty thanks. Just if my parents see a cut on my fingers, they said they'll take the knife away for a few days

If you get cut, wear some gloves

Definitely will do

yeah man, the cuts are part of the learning. im still a newb, and my hands are ALWAYS covering it scrapes, slashes, and punctures (i keep my knives razor sharp at all times). good luck bro!!!
