yea i know what you mean, but like have you been practicing with just 1 arm out, and the other going over and under the arm thats sticking out, like the cross u do with a skipping rope? Just keep practicing that, like thats what i have been doing all night and its coming along really nicely. Its in the tutorial because i tend to not explain things very well =P, and you will get it ill assure u that

yea, i practice with one hand alot. but its the putting it together part. i watch the vid and just blank, i watch the hand movements, try them, but everything just goes downhill.
i know you said your not good at explaining things, but how exactly do you do your hand movements?

iam not that far in it myself, but as of right now i got past doing the practice thing with one hand and slowly getting into it with both, the transition is a bit complicated i find tho. Hopefully someone will come here and save both of us lol.

lol, i sure as hell hope so. i have the buzzsaw, butterfly(sorta), the windmill, arm wrapes, and leg wrapes down. My butterflies hit eachother. everyone says to keep one hand slightly above and slightly infront of the other, but that only makes it worse for me. i can keep my hand about an inch apart and it works, but then i can't do it behind my head.
other than that im ok. I just don't understand why i can't understand the weave.
