For anyone struggling with landing the dual Branding in one go, I’d suggest taking inspiration from kendama by moving your upperbody downward with the movement of the yo-yo to give yourself more time to catch that second loop.

  • Stand naturally with your feet shoulder-width apart

  • Start the double Branding move and hop the yo-yo a little higher than you would for normal branding (about 4-6” higher than usual hop)

  • As the yo-yo falls, bend your knees slowly and lower your body, keeping the movement smooth and controlled.
