Title: reverse grip (short form) padawan grade
Post by: Faa-Yal Dragu on May 01, 2012, 08:32:05 PM
so i decided that i should do a little instructional video on what i have come up with, however it is easier to do it in two videos, padawan grade and knight grade. might even do a master grade if i get good enough. padawan grade just covers the basics, knight grade will be up as soon as i have the time. tell me what you think...

Looks really good Faal-Yal! Very impressive. I still can't figure out the back spin with normal grip that you do @ 2:58- 3:02 :(

Otherwise keep it up bud, and look forward to RG Knight!

Looking good, I don't have much to add on to this. I like it, I'd love to see a sparring match with you using reverse grip now though!

I like the video greatly.  You slowed things down to the point that anyone could follow.  You did stop points and added text so that you did not have to worry about whether or not you could be heard.  Hard to do outside without a microphone.  On that acrobatic kick, you could incorportate a crescent kick with your right leg to add a little flare and be offensive at the same time.  Keep up the great work.  I like this type of video!  Point to you.

@Faa-Yal

If you have time for something like that, that would be great.

I can always just re-watch the video :)

Nice!   Your hand manipulation is nice and fluid.   ;D   Looking forward to seeing what else you have to show.
