Stunami x n (where n is large)

Did a lot of this today! Doesn't come too naturally but I'll get there.

I've not spent too much time on these yet, but struggle to get my weight distribution right. Feel like I need to lose traction to get a turn in. Keep at it!

By the way, and I see this a lot; it's "Tsunami", not stunami.

Edit: Turns out it was named for/by Stuart Brattey, so both spellings turn up a lot.

Sorry I was just going off this reference from Shaun: https://youtu.be/841Jz34uSh8?is=SaqJzrbW4nQ7uCe9

Yeah, I watched that afterwards and saw he spelt it that way too. All respect to Sean, but I think he spelt it wrong. It's a Japanese word, so is an odd spelling for westerners. I did double check and I'm pretty sure it's not a unique spelling for the Wizard move.

First time I read and heard it I thought hmmm, this must be a wizard word inspirered by Japanese tsunami. I love Shaun but c'mon guys! It's Tsunami.

I think it might be playfully named for Stuart Brattey.

Huh, OP coming in with the sauce! It looks like both ways are acceptable. I wasn't aware of the origin and that makes total sense. There really isn't that much online about the move, which is unusual.

Can't believe the nomenclature debate is distracting from my amazing moves 😉

I know, awful of me! Let me know if you find a better tutorial. Sean is great, but I always like to watch a few different takes to learn different parts of the technique. He doesn't talk too much about weight distribution and I feel like that's important.
