Infinit, this one is your fault buddy :)

Youtube keeps taking stuff down on me, but these are the ones they let me keep. I've lost roughly 30 - 40 videos over the last 3 years or so. The active ones are scattered all over the forum but I decided to catalogue them here. I think it's a great idea for those of us that have more than a dozen or so. I was going through the demo section recently and was completely overwhelmed with how many there are. I was trying to focus on one or two people at a time and was having difficulty.....Having an area, much like Infinit's seems like a real good way to see an individual's progression over the days, months, years. So here we go...... I won't post all of my old ones, just personal favorites. Starting with a newer one.

I can think of quite of a few people I'd like to see a thread from....

Video removed per Resolute's request

this one is special because one of the members in now on the injured list and they did a great job. we use " freeform " choreography. no rehearsals. most of the time, we just say " hit me....we'll use the good stuff " lol. It's a JKD thing, hard for us to use ABC methods. Has it merits for film projects though ;D

Glad that I can be of service, Master Resolute! :)  Great videos you posted, I've watched most and will watch any that's posted here.  I shall follow this thread as well!  Great stuff! Episode Zero is still one of my favorites along with the versus video. I like the special effects on them and the duel wielding saber staff in the Day One for Fan Film video was awesome! Of course the video with attack angles using an actual sword is one of my favorites!

Awesome from front to back, I love the new montage you did!

Agreed, I like the new montage

thanks. Won't have the time to put up anything new for a bit. Some different types of projects in the works.

You're welcome and understood. I look forward to your future projects and videos.

Thanks Master, this is cool!!

Agreed. I also look forward to seeing you back flowing with us my friend.

once the group projects cool down, I plan on going QRC crazy. Here's another one :)
Last clip is a little blurry, but it shows the new stuff I've been working.

if you want to understand the broken rhythm little flower, try snapping your fingers in a triangle with your dominant hand while you snap a square with your off hand. Once you can do that, you'll get it.  ;D >:( ;D

I still struggle with it to this day. sometimes I can do it, sometimes my mind explodes...

Amazing work, Master Resolute. I need to work on duel wielding. May need to get with you for pointers. I like your use of QRCs and you splitting from a staff to duel sabers and then back.

thanks, feel free to message me anytime.

one of the many ways I warmup before I work whatever is on the battle plan for the day.

A QRC warmup session. This is how it normally goes, left the mistakes in.

Video removed per Resolute's request

Resolute, I've never seen someone so fluid with dual sabers are you are with yours.  Really good video and flow session. I'll have to get with you to start dual wielding

thank you for the compliment. much appreciated!

definitely belongs more in the combat section, but drilling like this can definitely help you " flow ". working basic closed chamber kali drills

There is a hidden drill in this one. :)  ;D ;D I only do it twice.

thought I'd share this here.

couldn't find a thread I thought appropriate then I realized I could just use this one.

Replacement armor for the SCA group. Hate wearing helmets, but it's required for the SCA group I go spar with. ( I'd rather use my fencing mask...but that isn't going to stop a sword and a half or an axe! ) A lot of the others use chainmail coif's with half helms (viking, roman, Celtic etc. ) I prefer Milanese. Control is always observed....but I still prefer full coverage.

missing the gorget, pauldrons and primary shield. ( I normally spar with two swords. )

I don't do much single saber anymore, so here we go. Working nothing in particular.

Fun fact, this is the first costume I purchased. Didn't get much use.....I picked up a Ren set very quickly.

Removed per Resolute's request

Cool armor you have there, Master Resolute. When I was scrolling through each photo, I was thinking to myself that even though it looks cool with a sword, it will probably look amazing with a lightsaber and sure enough, you did not disappoint.  :D

fixed it.  ;D
Thanks Infinit. May get some sparring footage the end of next month for a Vikings vs. Celts tournament a local group is hosting. Wish me luck!

I can't say it enough, Master Resolute. I'm a fan

likewise my friend, Your dedication to training is inspiring.

We are working on a new project/s.

On the docket is " Project Sunkiller ", which will take a few years.

At the same time, we've decided to focus on " Into the Badlands: Circle of Vengeance ", which will begin filming in Jan of 2020.

Some Week one training sessions.  ;D

I'm really liking the character development and the training videos, I love watching the behind the scenes videos and being able to see some of the action and hard work that's being used to make these projects.  Please keep them coming, Master Resolute.

Wow Res, I absolutely LOVE your kit!

Being a bit of an armor nut myself, I like seeing fully functional ensembles that can withstand actual combat.  To wit, this is me wearing my riveted mail hauberk, coif, with gambeson and greaves:

I'd love to see more pics of your armor  :)

I'm feeling a little better and got around to watching those videos.  I see you put some of the things I showed you to use in the video with the staff!  Glad to see it!

Good to see you back, Sam!  Also, glad that you're feeling better

@ Dutch - thanks. Nice setup yourself! I'll show the full kit next time.
 
@ Sam - Good eye. Been working those drills into the my staff workouts. Getting better each time. Practice makes perfect!

Time for me to get back to it. Been focusing on Wing Chun, Kali and Savate in my absence. The school is way to busy for me to go back to doing seminars, so I decided to go back to training in the backyard in the interim.

Some old, some new. Just a new channel trailer. Tell me what you guys think. Looking forward to being a regular again. Keep on training!!

Some saber stuff, martial arts, literally whatever im into that week. Changes constantly.

Removed per Resolute's request

I've been wondering when you'd pop back up.

That is so cool, Master Resolute

much appreciated.

Some raw footage of a warmup round. Nothing special. Not Really working anything in particular, just loosening up.

Removed per Resolute's request

Every-time I see the red and green blades, I know I'm watching a saber video that will be great. You did not disappoint, Master Resolute.

back at it.

Removed per Resolute's request

Your Jar'Kai is amazing, Master Resolute

our last ever freeform demo with the solargate team. We are officially going in the inosanto method of choreography. (only took me 3 years and two projects to convince the team it would be better! )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YARc3H5hVvU# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YARc3H5hVvU#)

we have already updated the logo, using our old one for the workshop project. Hope you enjoy!

Looks great, Master Resolute!

We are coming up with character concepts for the next project. Here is some of the ones im working on. Some new, some old. Everything is on hold while we train the new members of the crew.

That second and third pictures are my favorites

Subbed to that playlist. Can't wait

Adding these to the list. More coming down the round. Any questions, start going over to the combat section. As I will not be double posting after this again. :)

First though, some words about safety...

If all goes well, I should have another set for everyone next weekend.

Love these, Master Resolute, I'll definitely give them a go

your dual lightsaber strike drills are reminding me of escrima drills.  I dig it.

I teach a handful of martial arts for a living. Inosanto and Illistrisimo Kali are among them. 👍

And it shows, I'm excited for this! Thank you for taking the time to do this

its my pleasure. doing it anyway, so why not share it? This one is for the flow artist out there.

Removed per Resolute's request

I so wished I saw this when I was first learning it but I did have a great mentor who showed me in person so to speak.

it was recently brought to my attention that the Finale is missing from the channel. So here we have it. 4 years ago now....time flies.

Removed per Resolute's request

Time flies when you're having fun making nice videos

....


So any of my vid's (99%) that had copyrighted songs on them were removed or I would receive " strikes ". I will repost a few but it gives me a reason to focus on Coordination Kali & Kung Fu and make the transition. I apologize in advance for having to use Youtube's music.

That makes sense now, I was wondering why I wasn't able to access them. Good to know and I look forward to seeing them again

So. Youtube once again took down the majority of my videos. No more copyright music for me! Im going to be forced to use there stuff. Apologies about all the dead links. Wont happen anymore moving forward. I was able to salvage very little.....Gave me a reason to refocus my efforts on other projects though.

Just remember to credit the Artist, track and NCS and link back to their original NCS upload.

Now that the team can meet....kinda....we are back on track.

Happy to say that the JoE is meeting again. Here and there. We have our projects back in " partial " swing. Just good to train with the group again. Keep an eye out for some new material soon.  8)

Looking forward to seeing more material from you, Master Resolute!

:: Lurks out of the shadows for a Drive-By vid drop ::

A friend went back and changed some of the songs so youtube will stop removing them.....at least that what he says. His choices were risky but it's not my channel. These are some  " classics "  that were deleted.....  Project is still in the works.

He kept some of the Celldweller stuff. Trying to figure out why Youtube let's him keep those up....but not me. Interesting. I don't ever monetize any of my stuff.

Every time I see these things Ryan if makes me sad that I've got no one to work on awesome projects like this with.  Keep up the good work!

The Team has gotten quite smaller, but that's ok. We will rebuild soon. One day we'll get together and work on a fight scene!

Hahaaa get that guest room ready when I get some vacation time

Looks great master Resolute, thanks for sharing.

It must have been/be a fun project to work on.

It was brought to my attention that my QRC demo's were removed from this list. So here we go.

Working actively to get this thread cleaned up a little.

I was hoping to show you all our finished product. However, Dec 2020 I hurt my right knee severely and we are on hold. The beginning of this you've probably seen before. At the end we show our training speed.
If we discontinue this project I will share the raw footage as well. That decision is being made within the next month.

We used the variable speed training method to get faster and faster.
