This tutorial explains how to perform a 6 point anti-spin with a staff.
The shape formed by this antispin is a type of Hypocycloid called a Hexcuspid, meaning 6 cusps. The staff creates a Triquetra (3 petal) type of movement with each end of the staff on the horizontal. This forms 6 petals in total.
This can be performed with a Jo staff, however a Bo staff may be proportionally too big for this movement.
The same principles from this movement can be applied to clubs or other object manipulation props. This type of movement is more common with Poi in Flow arts however there are martial applications buried within the movements.
