Form III: Soresu

[Solinus]

Again, I am in tota, jaw dropping, awe! Thank you DN for this video.

I started my lightsaber training using the videos posted by DN on Shii-Cho basics. I knew that I needed some basic foundations and a place to start, and Shii-Cho is a great place. But I also knew that I would eventually move on to a different form. I never really could figure out which way I wanted to go. Makashi, while such a big topic here and (it seems) a favorite among you, is not for me. Djem So is too aggressive and, honestly, I couldnt find too many things on it. The other forms such as Shien, Vaapad, and Ataru seem to really be out of my reach at the moment.

So I have decided, with help from this topic, that I will be moving into Soresu as my main form. I still have a lot to learn from Shii-Cho, but at least now I know which direction I would like to move into when it's time.

Again, awesome video. This is awesome!!

Force enhanced speed allows him to avoid projectiles simply by side stepping them, seemingly without traveling through the intervening space.

That one's actually Ataru.

[Master VorNach]

Ah yes, it's very acrobatic.
Ataru with a hint of Soresu then.

I like this. I want to be able to do this.. but first I need to master Shii-Cho.

It's been a while since anyone contributed here. So, Nero and I when last we got together decided to make a pair of videos. He'll upload his and I'll upload mine. Here is a basic video on the concept of the Eye of the Storm. Everything is done slowly so that maximum mimicry can be derived.

And you did it in purple! Point to you!

Great job! That is an awesome moveset. This is why I like Soresu!

Excellent Master Vindyl! It has been some time side we have seen anything for you guys, I can't wait to see Nero's video.

The lighting in the video is pretty nice. The white garage contrasts nicely and gives a backlit effect.

Again, very nice performance.

I agree, he really pulled it off nicely.  He was trying to keep it a bit slower this time for the sake of instruction, and I think it turned out well.  Nice job Master Artorius!

And the backlighting was just us having some fun with a bit of artistic flair... we figured it gave a mysterious look 

I posted my own vid in my Makashi thread here if anyone is interested:

The lighting was fun and making the videos even more so. A shame that we can't get together more often to actually form a curriculum and film more. Thanks for the support!

[Solinus]

A curriculum?? That would be stellar. Something like.. you post an instructional video and within 7 days, we all should post our own, demonstrating the technique. I could go for that! Unfortunately, I don't have a filming partner except my kids, and most times we are just out and about doing things. But still, that sort of system is something that I personally could get behind!

[Darth Cestual]

Well done Master Artorius! That's gonna be a nightmare to illustrate... I can't wait!

Got another Soresu video up. Paired with the Shien form here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7696.0
