Steps

    Before you begin
    Grip
    Use the centered thumb–index grip and identify the thumb and pinky ends.
    Stance
    Stand with room behind your hips and shoulders; start with one staff.
    Plane
    Reels use both front and rear spaces. Use the side view and source close-ups for depth.
    Things to notice
    • The end that passes behind changes between hip and shoulder reels.
    • The source presents split-same at the hips and describes the shoulder version as unfinished practice, not a fully taught variation.
