@palisadeswasp replied to your post “I wish I could remember which martial arts does the spinny jumps with…”
aikido and bojutsu and some kung fu does jumps with bo staff!
Didn’t find matching video results from those key words but I do agree it was either a bo staff or a bamboo stake (at least that’s what it looked like) being used in said martial arts I’ve been trying to recall. I just remember the users basically doing a fullbody jump and swing/spin in the air and striking down with the stake/staff when using whatever technique they were using.
