Alright. In this clip, you're going to be able to see how to do a thumb into a finger spin. It will be kind of a combo move. But, it will really switch it up instead of just a straight spin. You go from your thumb all the way around to your finger. You can do it into a catch or keep going. Alright. So, let?s go ahead and break that down. So start, you can do one spin down. You have to do the thumb spin going up when you do it. Coming down, it's not going to work. The Nunchuck is going to fly to your hand. So, from here to do a thumb spin, point your Nunchuck down, throw it over your thumb, stop there and grab it into your hand, throw it back over. Now, you're going to use your first finger and flip it directly over your finger. Just like that. You can go all the way to a catch or all the way up here. So, one more time. From here, thumb out, throw it over your thumb. Reach underneath, grab it, flip over into your finger spin. Now, throw it into your combo. One, two, three, right here, down, up one, two. And, that's what it should look like. And, that's going to be your thumb over your finger. So, once again hold your Nunchuck one thumb length from the top. Throw over your finger, reach underneath, grab, flip all the way over. Now, get this finger in here. As you do it, my fingers going to slide out and it?s going to go around this finger. So, one more time. From here, one, grab, flip around your finger all the way to a catch. One more time. One, two. And, as you see I'm going in the same direction. I don't switch directions. One, grab, two, all the way to a catch. And, that's going to be your thumb over your finger spin. Just like that.
