Bending Boot Camp
Attention recruit! Welcome to the Bending Boot Camp, where I will break you down, and build you up with the necessary skills to make a bending SEAL out of you! Jokes aside, this tutorial is aimed not throwing bending licks left and right at you, you will find plenty of those here at IG, in my tutorials, and others. rather, the aim here is to break down the actual ergonomic and technique and what goes in to doing a bend. The goal is to "clean up" your technique in this field, especially or you beginners. However, more experienced players can also benefit from scrutinizing their technique, and seeing if other ways of bending might yield different (and at times better) results. So, grab your gear and let's go!
