Darth Sabre's aproach to TPLA's Shii Cho Dulon

[Darth Sabre]

This is just a sidenote ...

my neighbors in the house asked if it were possible to not only use ONE strip of grass for my training. If you've been following this thread, you know what it did to that particular strip of grass! 

We now have a cross ... 



Btw: this goes along very well with the TPLA Makashi Sun Dog exercise ...

That is awesome!! Great stuff, DS!

Wear on the grass is clearly an indication of how much effort and time you are putting in!

Awesome job, my Sith brother!

Y'know, on the one hand, I really feel for the dead grass...on the other hand, that picture easily shows the sincere dedication you've put forward in your practice. Big ups, bro.

Hello Saberforum.

It's roughly a year now that I picked up my lightsaber. It's been a great year, and I am very pleased with where I have come so far.

My focus has been on Makashi and Saberstaff recently, but Shii-Cho and this dulon by Master Nonymous is always part of my training routine, though not the center of my (study) attention.

Nevertheless it seems fitting to post this part of today's training here, if not only for sentimental reasons, so as a signal, too, that it's worth "polishing it up" (Darth Arkanus, I hope you forgive me shamelessly annexing one of your favorite terms) and doing the next step here.

Awesome Saber-brother!

I do not mind you "quoting" me at all...I'm rather flattered.

Also, the Shii-Cho is looking amazing! You have inspired me yet again, thank you! I shall do a similar think, when I reach the 1 year mark, which will be in May of next year!

Respect to you, Darth Sabre

Hello Saberforum.

It has been a while ... 2 years of intensive training as a TPLA Apprentice have passed.

To honor the beginnings here on this forum, I offer this little video.

Have fun and happy sabering!

Hello Saberland.



This training collage from a holiday by the sea has become something like a tribute to TPLA. I think it is only fitting to add it to my 'log' here, where it all started.

So here, too. my thanks go out to my tutor, TPLA Knight Jeff Macklin, and TPLA Headmaster Darth Nonymous, for having guided me through the TerraPrime curriculum for the last 3 and a half years.

My journey into lightsaber combat started right here with TPLA Headmaster Nonymous commenting on my very first video.

5 years later, I visited him in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the first time, closing the circle.

In the video he made me perform the TPLA Shii-Cho dulon, too.

Enjoy.
