Re: guys i need some help

Heh.

I came up with my own style of scissoring. I use my thumb and ring finger to do it. And the catch always depends on the move I'm doing afterwards.

not sure that's scissoring exactly, but I'd like to see it. IMO scissoring usually involves two fingers next to each other ( index-middle, middle-ring, ring-pinky) . when you open and close sets of those fingers it kinda looks like scissors I'm not sure if that even has anything to so with why it's named, but that's the connection I made . I stil can't do scissored catches. :roll:

Re: guys i need some help

something that helped me when I was learning the basics was doing the move slowly, even using my other hand to hold the knife.
make sure you don't throw to hard and fast when you're learning

That's right. Try to put less spinning force on the bali; rather, try to put more of an upward force on it. This way the knife won't drop hard on your fingers, and the catch will be easier to get.

I should try catching the same way Slash is "used to" catching it; because I've been catching it the other way all this while and wondered why it didn't flow like Slash's scissoring. This proves that no matter how good we get we all have something to learn !

Word.
