Some Basic Move problems.

[BaliLover]

I am getting good with the verticals but I still have some trouble with the basic horizontal O&C and I have a really hard time figuring out the backhand. I usually get about halfway through and it starts to feel awkward and then I get lost. I'e been trying to get it for a while now but the only time I do get it, it seems like dumb luck. ANy ideas. I tried BalisongXtreme but still no luck. Please help.

bx usually does a good job in w the move in a fool proof manner bt I understand too that sometiems I just 'don't get it' more times though if I keep on doing it slowly at first then 'the hell' winging it repeatedly I will get it. I am not sure what yo umean by get lost - but did you try the still picture with instructions on bx? I tend to read those when I cant get the animated gif. Good luck.

I think part of my problem with the backhand is the counterclockwise spin just after the initial drop. I can't seem to get it back around with a counterclockwise motion. I think counter clockwise but my hand fights me and send it the other direction.

Sounds like you're having a bit of conflict between the physical and the mental.

Your best bet is NOT to think about it while you're trying to do it. I know it's easier said than done, but it's much easier that way.

Just let the Balisong move........ you'll feel when it's right.
