Hey y’all, here’s a new tutorial for a double branding variation called “Death’s Branding”.

With a little practice, you can also land a triple branding too. Here’s a video from 4 years ago that shows the triple variation

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.

Here’s an example of that taken from [How to play kendama - Beginner Kendama Guide – Kendama Gent Store](https://kendamagent.com/pages/how-to-play-kendama)

![Step_4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/4/d/a4dda39263c322be013b6ab304535be9c3e56d1d.webp)

- 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.
