The history of the fan spinning is not as simply as it seems, because an appearance of many videos, which are showing different techniques, ways and basic principles of spin, outgrown in the opposition between 2 lead ideas of the fan spinning and even reduced to the war.
In this article, for selecting most important videos, I was guided by a public opinion, and not mine.

The first page was open by an American artist Grimm Zimmer, who released his first video at December 26, 2006:

December 26, 2006 | Grimm and his babies... fire fan freestyle.

For the several years Grimm was considered like the best and unique tech fans spinner. This opinion was supporting by many of his videos, which was released later.
One of thoose "Chuu Chuu for Fans..." was released at November 20, 2008 It contains a lot of elements, Which had became the basic of the American style spinning.:

But at the same time Russian spinners also made fans tech experiments using alternative construction with A bigger ring. Marina Matchbox Vinokurova became an author of the first Russian tech fans video with her "Fire fans practice" released at 19 of January, 2009.

There I should note an American fan spinner Corey White, who published her video "Albany practice sessions" at November, 2009.

March 30th, 2010 - Rem starts writing the "Fan Theory"

As you can see, an American spinning style as based on the double staff and hoop technique, but Saint-petersburg style as based on the poi technique. During the few years differences between the American and Russian technique was growing and finally the USA declared the "war" at 25th of May, 2010 in the video "Evolution of Fans - Tech Blog" 2010.

At the same time new video of Alina Alinka-Murka Pavlova showed the fans isolation variations:

Corey White also developed a new style with mixed planes (3d). She createed a chain of the movies, which was finally ended with her performance at Flow Show 2

The answer for USA was ready at 25th of June, 2010. Soviet spinners had been making the videos and exchanging it for a month. As a result they created a video answer which was named U.S.S.R. - Tech Fans (Union's of Soviet Spinners Response)

June 25, 2010 | U.S.S.R. - Tech Fans

In response to that, Grimm mobilized American spinners to a fan army of the USA Happy

History is waiting for the new heroes..

Rem.
