Title: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: zetulaj on December 21, 2018, 01:47:36 AM Got my first ultrasaber and brought it to class the next day. Shifu gave it a spin, looked really nice!

It kept disengaging and once half the staff went flying across the room. Shifu had to really slow down to prevent that from happening. We're considering doing a few pilot classes with lightsabers, Shaolin style, to see if the traditional movements can be worked in with these ;D Title: Re: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: Infinit01 on December 21, 2018, 01:50:29 AM Whoa. I’m a fan of the Shaolin style of martial arts so much respect!

Thanks for sharing! Title: Re: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: imgumby001dammit on December 23, 2018, 02:16:20 AM That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

Agreed Title: Re: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: scifidude79 on December 23, 2018, 04:19:31 AM Yeah, that's awesome. If you're going to do that kind of stuff at those speeds, a solid coupler is definitely in order.
Title: Re: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: Infinit01 on December 22, 2018, 09:39:31 PM Agreed. I recommend the flush vented coupler
Title: Re: Shaolin Lightsaber Staff Post by: scifidude79 on December 23, 2018, 04:56:26 AM Agreed. I recommend the flush vented coupler You can't go wrong with that coupler, in my opinion. It looks great, looks like it would be solid and won't add "chunkiness" to the hilts.

I will no longer get the stunt coupler since it’s a pain to remove it from one saber and there’s no leverage. Vented flush coupler and above for me |
