Title: A little bit of something for everyone
Post by: Musashi Padawan on April 08, 2018, 07:21:34 PM
In this video I tried to pull together a bunch of different aspects of light saber training with an emphasis of fun.  I was finally able to get some of the ladies of the AFA on camera.  Of course there is hardcore dueling action.  On a serious note, I showcased the very real issue of light saber addiction.  Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Cool video Musashi Padawan. :)

You certainly do cover many aspects of addiction ownership there.

Two thoughts:

1. Does this perhaps belong in the combat section?  It is more than just that...

2. The forum admin MIGHT see this as an advertisement or recruiting video.  I really don't see it that way, but if that is in fact your hope/intent, I'd PM him (Ultra) about it first. ;)

Good stuff though.  Nicely edited. :)

Thanks Lord Rapine.
I didn’t know what subforum would fit, so I went generic with this movie section. Those combat folks can be a prickly lot and I didn’t want them to have to wait through 4 minutes of talking before the bloodshed!
As for the intent, I only meant to share our little pocket of the world with the larger community. Sabering is many different things to many different people and I wanted to showcase some of what it means to our group.

Right on. :)

Yeah - I didn't move it for that reason. ;)

Oh, I did think of something else upon reflection. A couple weeks ago, a woman I work with asked me about what I do with light sabers/martial arts. She was interested in trying something new but wasn’t sure if the environment would be comfortable as a woman. That really inspired me to get some of the women I train with on camera discussing what they enjoy. The world has come a long way in breaking down Star Wars stereo types about gender in recent years, but not all the way yet. I wanted to portray sabering as a fun place for all. Hopefully that came through too.

That is an excellent sentiment Musashi Padawan!

Agreed.  Great strides have been made recently, but we're not there yet. :)

+1 for great attitude.

Man I wish I had a place like this near by.
I'm also a big fan of Miyamoto Musashi. I still need to get another copy of The book of five Rings. +1
