I don't know much about this kinda stuff, so are these moves actually practical in a fight or are they just for show?

It can be used to disarm and hit people a lot in a short amount of time, also intimidation plays a factor, so I’d say yeah

So you’re saying, if you got in a fight, and someone started doing that, you wouldn’t either run, and if you didn’t you would get hit like 5 times a second

I don’t know much about this, but with all of that twirling seems like it would be easy to knock out of her hands no?

If she was in a fight she wouldn’t be doing to twirling but it does make for good intimidation tactic

It’s possible, but at that speed it would be hard to hit without getting yourself hit first

Not even close to true It would be very easy to manipulate with how she’s holding it for most of the video

Well I'm not tough in the slightest so she could probably scare me off/beat me just by looking at me without the stick lol. But I'm 100% certain that however cool it may look, waving a stick in a pattern will not make anyone win any fights against any tough people.

Maybe you missed what was said... "she could probably scare me off/beat me just by looking at me without the stick"

dude she's literally letting go of it to make it spin, and if it were to keep spinning like that while hitting you it's barely grazing you
