If you're wondering why there are already comments on this video, it's because my patrons got it first! Consider supporting me: www.patreon.com/TheWillHirsch Hopefully this tutorial helps you out! This is not the most authentic way to choker fan but it's the way I was able to figure it out so hopefully it'll help some of you!
the choker fan is a really flashy trick that looks awesome in combos. really rewarding learning curve and can only get better with time! awesome tutorial, well detailed and really far from boring :)
so i just learned how to do it and think i got it good, i dont understand who you could flow into it well though, a standard opening to that has a slight pause between getting there and then actually doing it because of the change in momentum, whats the best trick from close to get into the fan and then coolest looking way o get out of the fan aswell
I definitely have more to learn before I'm at the level of this trick but what I love about your videos is how well you break everything down and explain each step. I feel like I can completely understand what you're explaining. Also, your cat is adorable!
Same here man. I’ve noticed that dome of these tricks I can get down well within 30 minutes. Maybe it’s from other hobbies like cardistry giving me OD finger dexterity but I’m not really sure either way I’m not complaining lol
the start from open grip really helps a lot with the momentum for the fan; i tried big flips tutorial and i just couldn't get enough momentum with the icepick spin
@@lordpotashmallow2443 yeah starting from open grip is much easier. The normal choker fan you kind of have to "separate" the blade from the handle(not the one you are holding) and then it becomes easier.
Dude thank you so much for making this tutorial. Just got a Lucha and was trying to use Big Flips' tutorial for the Choker Fan and just couldn't get it despite more than a week or 2 of trying. Within 20 minutes of watching your video, I got my first perfect one, and now I can do them super easily with little effort. You're the best man.
Ok bro, you are a legend, i have tried to choker fan for at least 3 months, i've watched every tutorial on YT an none worked for me, but yours was absolutely amazing, the way you initiate the choker fan is so easy, it doesn't require any force and is way smoother. Love you man.
I’ve been struggling with this trick I have repeatedly watched tutorials but starting by dropping the bite handle to create momentum really help me thank you for the tutorial!
These might be the best tutorials on RUclips. Keep doing this series, super useful for people like me who know some ok beginner stuff but want to improve.
Hey Will! I just got back into balisong flipping since I'm just bored from quarantine. Your channel has helped a lot from making me decide what next balisong I should get, just ordered the lucha! Though I was wondering if you can make a proper cleaning and maintenance for balisongs, it would be awesome. Thanks!
lol this video was very serious (but also good) compared to the usual ones. Also, I just ordered the glidrco arctic beta AND SAW ONE ON YOUR SHELF AT THE END OF THE VIDEO! I can't wait for a review!
Will, been an avid fan since I joined the community almost three years ago. I learned my choker fan from you. I have been unable to learn a choker fan different from this video ever since.
Old video I know but I am barely able to do stuff like behind the 8 ball and even a regular fan, and yet I picked this up in 30 minutes. Astounding tutorial, I need more like this! Thank you will!
Bruh iv been tryna learn this for weeks, Ngl after watching this tutorial I literally just did it and now I cant stop doing it, it's my fav trick let's goo
Man thank you so much. After an hour, it just clicked using my swordfish. Then I realized when you drop it and slightly up while switching fingers, it just spins like crazy.
This helped alot because other people like friends or big flips always kept saying to do a double rollout, which is harder then this. Now I know how to do it whenever i want in any combo this helped so much because you gave me a different way to look at the tric instead of thinking of it as a super hard double roll out upside down fan.
Hey thanks for this tutorial! I find this so much easier than the big flips way, and it’s now my fav trick to do! Looking forward to your squiddy and kraken trainer review!!
I learned the big flips way and he keeps it all Icepick oriented, tbh im pretty sure both ways are acceptable because of how much stuff you can do off of it. But it is nice to see another tutorial on a big RUclipsr that prefers the opposite way.
I have tried to learn this trick from other people on RUclips with no luck and then I watched your video and I learned the trick before the video was over! you're amazing at explaining how tricks work THANK YOU! 🙂 ❤
How... How is this channel only at 14.6k subs? I'm confused. It's so fucking cash money. Funny, informative, cleanly sequenced, and professionally finished.
So either a squiddy is really good for choker fans, or this video teaches it very well, cause I was able to do it successfully first try after watching this video.
Thank you, it took me a year to do the trick but I followed the tips in the video and finally almost got it. But it too me a while before getting a replicant, and continuing the trick.
Awesome tutorial! I have been having trouble with this trick and this tutorial helped SO much! When you explained how it's a similar feeling to a latch drop everything clicked - very comprehensive explanation thanks!!
This was such a great video. I’ve tried to learn this a few times off of other videos but it never really clicked for me. I decided to give it another try and you conveniently posted this video today. Thanks I can almost do it now!!!!
YEEESSSSS! thank you so much Will! I have been struggling with this trick for weeks. To the point t where I try for a while and just give up. And then I found this video and I could choker fan in literally 10 minutes! You did such a great job explaining this trick! Thank you 🙏🙏
Spoiler but I don't believe they provide adequate force of air even though they use the clever principles of pressure dynamics and airfoil technology to direct outside air more efficiently. Honestly the idea of a bladeless fan in this circumstance is a misnomer, no more then a marketing gimmick as even though the visible structure of the fan dawns no blades, the overall acceleration of the air is achieved through bladed fans hidden within the chassis of the device, making it more of a clever scheme then a revolutionary reinvention that the proprietors of this form of product proclaim.
Please keep doing these your tutorials are the best. I learned the choker fan in about 2 hours. It's easier with my trainer that is super light. It seems so tuff on my lucha being heavier I keep dropping it.
Lol! I was literally trying this with my BBBarfly as you recommended against it... but I got a perfect spin on the first try (granted, I've been practicing choker fans for a couple of weeks, now -- despite not even having learned any intermediate tricks, yet)
May not be completely precise, but it's still quality. Everybody has preferences on styles of fanning. This is your style, and I completely respect that. Mine's a bit different, but that's my style. However, you demonstrated how it works, and that's always a plus. Still digging the ring, still digging the attention sponge of kitty, and I can't believe you're still rockin the BBbarfly Pro V2. Always nice to see, she's just not for me. Stay safe and keep keeping it up!
I was in a grocery store and I was practicing flips with my bali when I taught myself how to do a weird little fan that kinda looked like this but it has different fingering and I suck at it, I also completely forget how to do it. To explain it, its pretty much a a fan flourish accept if you fail at it you just make you hand go horizontil and thats it. I was actually just watching a tutorial about a fan flourish and I relized.. "Wait, thats exactly it" so I can back and edited. :)
this guy is so good on the aspect of like showing of knives and describing them and he only has 16k subs com on show him some love get him to 50 k subs pls
I always thought this trick was so much harder because I thought all of the spin came from twisting your fingers but apparently it's all a trick (no pun intended) because most of the spin just comes from the initial throw. I can basically do it now which is awesome because I've wanted to learn this one for a while
Thx I’ve loved this trick but was too intimidated by it to try but I learned it by the end of this video and with a squiddy c so thanks so much you are by far my favorite balisong youtuber
Really awsom tutorial, you made it simple to understand despite it is The Choker! I was watching knives review videos and I love how you make them!! Waiting for a Replicant or a Basilisk review if you can.
Okay so... at the end... you show a choker to aerial... but I've seen YOU do one from underhand and caught blade down..... I'm working on it from memory but I think it looks better. Thanks Will
Nice knives. I have the old ones back in the 80s when they were famous. A word of advice to those who want to buy one in California, it's a felony to have a double-edged blade and when opening up the knife, use both hands, so that you would not be arrested for having a gravity knife.
i’m so thankful for this video, i was stuck using the harder setup of other youtubers, but when i used your start i got it instantly, ending is still stumbling me a bit
Ironically, I would highly suggest trying it with a BBbarfly (at least the V1 which is the one I have). It's thick handles really help you with the grip and I feel like it flwos very well

btw your my fav balisong channel
where’s the squiddy review lol
@@tylersansone6914 Working on it!
@@ew__2 Thank you!
Awesome vid, I was looking avoiding learning this trick but now I’m gonna give it a go. Also teach the reverse behind the 8 ball if you can👍🏼
the choker fan is a really flashy trick that looks awesome in combos. really rewarding learning curve and can only get better with time! awesome tutorial, well detailed and really far from boring :)
As someone who's been flipping for years, I can agree

@@landenle_vrandmore4350 I usually go into it like I’m starting an ice pick
Not with a squiddy-B
@@fluffycreature_ i don't own one so i couldn't say, ik it's light so it may be harder but i def think it's doable
I definitely have more to learn before I'm at the level of this trick but what I love about your videos is how well you break everything down and explain each step. I feel like I can completely understand what you're explaining. Also, your cat is adorable!
wow. I seriously never thought i would learn the choker fan this fast. Like within 10 minutes i had it down. Awesome vid!
Same here man. I’ve noticed that dome of these tricks I can get down well within 30 minutes. Maybe it’s from other hobbies like cardistry giving me OD finger dexterity but I’m not really sure either way I’m not complaining lol

Easiest to follow choker fan tutorial I've seen. Great video; I know what I'll be practicing for the next 12 hours
The start on your chokerfans does thw work for you, I tried learning big flips but it just doenst work for me, amazing tutorial
me seeing your knives: i wish i was rich
Fax, I only have the cheap balisong training knfie
Same ive got a 10 dollar chinese bali
@@false3695 lol, in my country it's 2$, when i bought mine
Me being 11 years old: guess I got to wait till Christmas
It’s not about being rich, just save up and get something decent like a squidy Trainer

Will, been an avid fan since I joined the community almost three years ago. I learned my choker fan from you. I have been unable to learn a choker fan different from this video ever since.
Finally I figured out the choker fan... I still cant basic fan
Old video I know but I am barely able to do stuff like behind the 8 ball and even a regular fan, and yet I picked this up in 30 minutes. Astounding tutorial, I need more like this!
Thank you will!
I was stuck on this trick FOREVER and this tutorial really helped. Keep up the great work!

This guy actually explains it better ngl (i learnt it in just 20 mins)
Man thank you so much. After an hour, it just clicked using my swordfish. Then I realized when you drop it and slightly up while switching fingers, it just spins like crazy.
you are absolutely crushing it with these videos best balisong channel by far

Best Bali RUclipsr
Change my mind
Spoiler you cant
love your videos hope you keep making them
BRO WHATS GOING ON?? YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST A MILLION SUBS BY NOW, RUclips GET ON THAT!!!
I learned the big flips way and he keeps it all Icepick oriented, tbh im pretty sure both ways are acceptable because of how much stuff you can do off of it. But it is nice to see another tutorial on a big RUclipsr that prefers the opposite way.
I noticed that too and i'm learning, this way feels way easier for some reason
I got so happy when I actually got it, It took me 1day!! THANK YOU!
Thank you! Most of the tutorials I’m finding don’t explain they just demonstrate.
I have tried to learn this trick from other people on RUclips with no luck and then I watched your video and I learned the trick before the video was over! you're amazing at explaining how tricks work THANK YOU! 🙂 ❤
Three years later, vedio still helping me out, got my lucha out and got it 👍
I just want to say I love that fox in the background I need one 😍🤤 no I’m going back to watch the video 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!
How... How is this channel only at 14.6k subs? I'm confused. It's so fucking cash money. Funny, informative, cleanly sequenced, and professionally finished.
So either a squiddy is really good for choker fans, or this video teaches it very well, cause I was able to do it successfully first try after watching this video.
the squiddy is a good flipper if you get used to it
Damn the editing is so clean
Thank you, it took me a year to do the trick but I followed the tips in the video and finally almost got it. But it too me a while before getting a replicant, and continuing the trick.
Hi will can we get a triton review. Btw I love your vids
Somehow managed to knock out this trick in a day, thanks will!
This was helpful, hope to see more videos. Keep up the good work. 👍
just what i needed
Great video! I got the trick down in 15 minutes!
Awesome tutorial! I have been having trouble with this trick and this tutorial helped SO much! When you explained how it's a similar feeling to a latch drop everything clicked - very comprehensive explanation thanks!!
So happy to hear that!!
i sent my kraken in for better bushings THIS MORNING and now you come out with this XD unfortunate timing.
YES! I can do the Choker fan .Thank you very much!👍👍👍
Thanks Will. =] I have been really struggling with this one but this tutorial def helps pierce the veil!
This was such a great video. I’ve tried to learn this a few times off of other videos but it never really clicked for me. I decided to give it another try and you conveniently posted this video today. Thanks I can almost do it now!!!!
I learned veeerrrrryyyyy different choker fans lmfao!!! I learned them with a thumb rollover to end them and an opening to begin them like a ladder.
YEEESSSSS! thank you so much Will! I have been struggling with this trick for weeks. To the point t where I try for a while and just give up. And then I found this video and I could choker fan in literally 10 minutes! You did such a great job explaining this trick! Thank you 🙏🙏
Thanks bro this was the best chocker fan tutorial definitely helped
You are by far the best balisong channel on RUclips. Very thankful for you. Keep killing it Will.
Excited for your upcoming vid comparing different kinds of fans! I’ll he interested to hear your opinion on some of those blade-less dyson ones.
Spoiler but I don't believe they provide adequate force of air even though they use the clever principles of pressure dynamics and airfoil technology to direct outside air more efficiently. Honestly the idea of a bladeless fan in this circumstance is a misnomer, no more then a marketing gimmick as even though the visible structure of the fan dawns no blades, the overall acceleration of the air is achieved through bladed fans hidden within the chassis of the device, making it more of a clever scheme then a revolutionary reinvention that the proprietors of this form of product proclaim.
AMAZING TUTORIAL, i got it down within 20 mins, also great camera angles. Glad I found ur channel
I can't do this trick but this vid totally gives me hope that I can soon! Already can fan pretty good so that's something!
I think this is the hardest choker fan I've ever seen but I'll give it a try too because of how awesome it looks lol
This tutorial was even better than
bigflip's. Now my chokers are smooth! Thanks Will
THANK YOU WILL! ive tried this trick many times, but this tutorial was just the best.
Just found out I was learning the trick wrong, this one helped a lot!
i learned the trick from big flips but i think the starting from will and the ending zen rollover from big flips look the best nivce vid
i finally learned it YES thank you so much and keep up the great content
Edit: you need more subs you only got 13.5k thats crazy :O
I sat here and just refreshed the page waiting for the video😂
i love your videos inspired me to look for a balisong to do the tricks you do
Please keep doing these your tutorials are the best. I learned the choker fan in about 2 hours. It's easier with my trainer that is super light. It seems so tuff on my lucha being heavier I keep dropping it.

the best youtuber ever
I was looking for a tutorial and I know can choker fan
Maximo alegria peñailillo wat
Im a beginner and this is the 1 trick I learned today
This has proved to be a very tricky trick to learn with my tiny baby fingers.
Great video as Always
Just did it, awsome.
i’m so thankful for this video, i was stuck using the harder setup of other youtubers, but when i used your start i got it instantly, ending is still stumbling me a bit
I find it easier to end it in a reverse grip, or do a thumb rollover
Ironically, I would highly suggest trying it with a BBbarfly (at least the V1 which is the one I have). It's thick handles really help you with the grip and I feel like it flwos very well
Dope tutorial bro
Whoa, I didn't expect to find the creator of the move itself here. Salutations to you, sir!
