description: Front Side Halo / Turning Halo

description: This move can be done in both directions and in horizontal and vertical planes. Place the staff on fairly slowly to start with.

description: This is a good move to start with if you are new to contact. Turn with the staff as it goes over your back so it lands on the opposite shoulder.

description: Different from a stevetrix and slightly easier. Do a steve and go into a matrix from your shoulder rather than your arm like you would a stevetrix. Do a matrix come out and steve back up your arm.

description: Does exactly what it says on the tin. If you cock up a matrix this is a good way of recovering without looking like you cocked it.

description: Like a matrix neck wrap but with only half the calories.

description: This is my favorite new move at the moment. Do the first half of a full matrix and you will find the staff wants to go behind your neck if you don't lean into the second half straight away. Let it go behind you and lean to the left to get it back in front of you (an extra spin on the back can help line up the centre point) and then do the second half of the matrix.

description: A tiny bit easier than a matrix because you are turning into the staff. Look at the points you need to start turning, they are when you start leaning back to get it under the arm. Again very hard to get smooth.

description: Only the realms of obsession give you the ability to do this. 4 in a row? Tim you are a sick sick man.

description: The matrix. It's hard. That's why everyone loves it. You can do the matirx in 2 ways, starting on the neck like I do or starting on the shoulder like meg does here. To distinguish the difference I call this version a full matrix because it goes fully around your body and not just under both arms. I personally prefer the full matrix (well I would wouldn't I) because I think it looks nicer but it's all a matter of oppinion. The secret to getting a matrix is to really lean. It takes a while to get and takes even longer (a lot longer) to get it solid. As with everything practice, practice, practice.
