TIP:tunes help you flip. whatever your favorite music is, try listening to it while you flip. it will set the mood, the pace, and the feel of the session. i find it also helps with fluidity.

Re: Tips & Secrets

also, the music will catch part of your attention. Practice your routines while listening to music and focus on music, this will help your the sense of "instinct flipping". This is a great way to get some tricks into your muscle memory. the aim of is to get some flipping reflexes.

Re: Tips & Secrets

odd TIP Flip blind folded... at least once. As ridiculous as it sounds, it will give you a great feel on how your bali moves.

To go along with that, try different kinds of music. I flip to what my dad calls "Angry Music" but I also flip to real calm mellow crap that I would never listen to if I wasnt flipping.

TIP:Try different types of music when flipping.
its better to have flipped and lost than never to have flipped at all

Re: Tips & Secrets

A lot of you guys are gonna hate me for this one...

TIP: There are some tricks and whatnot that just cannot be taught. Take it from me. People know them....but some things are just locked up too tightly. Don't press the issue. Once you figure whatever it is out, you'll feel 100x better about yourself and your abilities. If you're flipping and someone's holding your hand the whole time...you're gonna get nowhere, fast.

Re: Tips & Secrets

ill agree with that, theres some shit that i do that is just muscle memory.....i honestly cant explain how to do it. friends ask me to show them how to do it, and i try to figure out how i do it, and just end up sayin "just do this...." they dont like that.....

Re: Tips & Secrets

TIP: Oil your bali! Constantly! Give your EDF a full body run down massage with any conventional liquid "All-In-One" oil. You can buy the expensive stuff such as Militec, but any ol' liquid oil will do. It will make a WORLD of difference to your confidence(trust me on that one) and your flipping. It usually seems, to me, that it's easier to do tricks after a good oiling.

TIP try just not thinking about what your doing while flipping. run through the motions in your head then without thinking about what your doing start flipping. sometimes i dont even look at the balisong when i do this. it helps you get a great feel fro you balisong and will help your the sense of "instinct flipping". me personally if i over think i mess up.
