Dragon Staff

"Dragon Staffs are a relatively new prop. Like Contact Staff, Dragon Staff was derived from the Chinese art of Fei Cha. Many of the moves are very similar to Contact Staff, with the added challenge that the staff needs to be almost constantly rolled." - flowarts.me

Dragon staff is by far my favorite prop, and the prop that truly inspired to get me into flow arts. It should be noted that you do need space in order to flow with a Dragon Staff.

First Dragon Staff

While flow arts may be expensive at times it should be noted that; when there's a will there's a way. My first rope dart was an extension cord and a t-shirt. My first staff was PVC and a wooden dowel.

The tutorial for the staff can be found here: [DIY Dragon Staff]

LED Dragon

Once again as a Twitch streamer an LED prop was my go to. My LED staff is from [neoflowart]. They are VERY informative through the entire process, and made sure I understood the everything that I received with my prop. It did take some time to get to me, but the wait was worth it. [UPDATE: this staff did break on me once, and they were kind enough to replace the hud that broke, however, I had another hud break again! It is a great staff don't get me wrong, but please be aware. I was able to find a micro solder stateside to help fix it somewhat since they would not replace it.]

Day Dragon

I have recently begun getting a better variety of staff to bring with me out in the wild. This staff from [HoodyFroodHoops] is my now go too staff for beginners. They are extremely affordable and well made. So if you are looking for the next step up from PVC or you don't want to make a PVC staff. I recommend starting here.

Fire Dragon

My fire staff is from [DarkMonk]. This staff features 4/6 removable and easily replaceable spokes. As pictures above currently I'm spinning this staff with a UV wick cover. Which was purchased from [NineFlowOne]. I think it is important and imperative to understand that no staff will roll the same. Each will take time to get use to.

IGNIS LED Staff

My go-to LED staff is now the [IGNIS] 80 HD Tech staff. This staff is unique in that it utilizes poi heads as the staff heads. Meaning that rather than having to replace the entire staff you are able to replace just the poi heads. This was something I realized was a huge game-changer after my previous staff has now broken on me twice. The poi heads are much larger than any staff I have spun so it takes some getting used to.

Fusion Dragon Staff

I added this beauty to my arsenal last year. I needed a staff with which I would be able to travel easily due to my husband being active duty military. This staff is balanced beautifully and comes apart easily, and quickly.

Where to Learn

[GraceGoodCircue]

Grace is who originally inspired me into getting into Dragon Staff. Now while she primarily does fire for her shows, I think it is important to understand no new flow artist should EVER pick up a fire flow prop as their first prop.

There are many other resources to learn Dragon Staff via Youtube etc. This is where I learned my fundamentals and more.

Additional Information

I think it is important for me to note and state. That when you are learning Dragon staff I recommend if you have long hair that it is put UP. The staff will be rolling near your head, and there have been many times in which you will catch your hair.

Also, I have only recently discovered that rolling a lighter staff is actually harder to learn. The heavier the staff the more momentum it will carry with your spins. My LED staff for example is extremely light. I went from my PVC staff to my LED staff, and never understood how much easier some moves were until I got my day staff.
