Begleri tutorial: basics for beginners

An attempt at introducing begleri to newcomers and teaching some basic flow.

Update 1: I realize now that I continuously mess up the names of the grips, and overall am quite disappointed in the quality of this video. When I made it, I actually did not have the intention of posting it, hence why it ends abruptly and isn't quite finished; but what remains true is that there is a lack of this style of tutorial, where there is a verbal walk through of the tricks. Luckily the things I went over in this video are extremely basic but it is still slightly embarrassing. I just felt that I had to address that I am aware of how flawed this video is and I am sorry for that and I hope anyone watching it trying to get started is able to learn something.

FINALLY. Years of spinning my whistle as a lifeguard has paid off.

I found begleri like an hour ago and I already made my own and I'm practicing it. Literally used spin fish weights and string to make a home made begleri.

I have been watching your videos for a while. You very kind to put your own personal time in to teach people this skill. I am not good at this, but then again under a lot of stress, lately, a lot. Anyway thank you for doing this and not expecting anything in return. That’s a great quality people lack more and more today.

So pumped that it's growing fast!!! Can't wait to see it in a few years

musclebones - I wanted to shout out to you and say THANK YOU for doing these tutorials! I wrench on cars for a living and I picked this hobby up 2 weeks ago in hopes of exercising my hands and maximizing dexterity. I didn't expect it to be so addicting. Now that I'm hooked and cant put them down, I have been searching for videos to help me learn a few tricks. Your videos are the only ones that have been able to help me. Since I have been watching them, my skill level has skyrocketed!!! I am by no means good at this, but I'm no longer feeling too overwhelmed to keep clacking away. And everyday Im learning a new trick, and might be able to do it 5/10 tries. The next day 7/10... and so on. So from me to you, THANKS and keep them coming!!!

P.S. if I may offer a suggestion - try to add some morre slow motion footage to the tricks. They are impossible to show without performing them, and impossible to perform without going at least half speed. So perhaps you can show us exactly whats going on with some slo-mo. Just a thought.

Dude, real talk. And i say this with respect: being someone who just picked this cool little hobby up- I have NO idea what you are doing/referencing.. may i suggest, cuz it would help tremendously if you could sloww it down as much as possible at first to give a clear idea of what is going on & what is rotating, hand/finger movements etc. Perhaps use your other hand to grab the 'swinging end' to methodically guide the beglari through the whole spin/move first to better demonstrate **Slowly** what it is you are doing exactly? Similarly too how a pen spinner often will teach certain tricks? It would help us noobs out a ton🙏🙏
Just a thought ha. I you have uploaded a new video I'll check that out right now hopefully I will get some clarity

[chelseadecarlo]

This video is a great starter, i constantly come back here when I get rusty. Hopefully very soon my condition won’t hinder practice. It’s starting to become second nature and I can do index finger rolls, but I ended up doing it when I stopped trying. I use this video to share with friends who want to learn this skill/ sport. The only problem is most people I know have no motivation to learn this sadly.

If you just look at his hands it looks like some kind of sign language

[hnzrnz]

my hand hurts from hearing the beads hit your bones man.. but honestly, quite a good tutorial even if it's really difficult to give tutorials in such categories. ive just bought my first begleri though, and this helps

[calvinnotklein]

Thank you. I just won a titanium begleri on insta out of 150 people who entered.

[geoffreyschuchardt]

The “just falling into the gap” seems a fuck ton like, “make sure you do a lot to move your index finger out the way”

[verenafichter]

Shout out man. I took to slinging as ive been doing various skill toys for about 17nyears but this still helped me tremenously. I recommend if u like begleri theres alot more interesting toys out there....its a gateway hobby....next juggling....then poi...then yoyo....beware

[abralabra]

Hey what begleri do you recomend me to buy? I just stumbled op on this cool fidget toy!

[ΆγγελοςΧατζής-θν]

man plz make a video how to move between greeps cause i didnt understood that

[demiladerotimi-okula]

I don’t know if it’s ever easy for me to learn
❤

[monkeyman]

I made one at home with duct tape, a random string, and 2 bottle caps, I put one end of the string on the top of the bottle cap and taped it up, did the same to the other end.

[naten]

so I'm gonna be traveling on a plane soon and I have a begleri just like yours and was wondering if airport TSA would take it away because I'm only taking a carry on bag.
