Doesn't he play Qui-Gon? I'm pretty sure Qui-Gon doesn't use a red saber. Other than that, the only way I can tell it isn't you is because he isn't quite as fast. Definitely getting there though.

His batteries died so he used mine for the video.

You shouldn't have to wait too long. We should be finishing up out cosplays this week and headed to our first con as Qui Gon and Maul on the 10th.
Essentially that video shows him doing 3 "sets" and that's going to be the basis for our back and forth on stage. We've even done a little choreography too, but that's a work in progress.

Still training as much as possible. I've been using my spar gloves every session no matter what weapon I use now. Almost feels strange without them now. Anyway, the learning curve with spinning and using the QRC was the hardest. This clip also has me in the costume I'm using in one of our group projects. Kylo Ren tunic and belt.

@ Ryan I didn't mention in the challenge thread, but I love that video. The costume looks great by the way.
@Sam It is funny to me how much his spinning reminds me of yours. I had not noticed until I saw it on someone else, but you definitely have your own distinct flow these days.
Fun idea for the future: Spinning in the dark with only the blade visible. Guess who the spinner is by the spinning.

After watching some of the vids posted by you three, I can actually almost always instantly tell who it is. In all of the vids that Ryan posts with the filters, I can always tell which one is him, and which ones aren't. It is actually really cool for me, because you always hear of how you can identify people by their fighting styles, and so to see that IRL is really cool to me.

Hopefully that's a good thing lol.
It makes sense as we usually practice like a mirror since I'm a lefty.

I did a recording of me with the cross guard doing a series of moves I put together for Lee to do. I'm going to add to it, I just visually wanted to look at myself doing it to see what I didn't like.
Also this is my new student. I didn't post this where anyone could see it before, but here she is! We've only had two sessions, she's picking it up quick. I hope it means I'm a decent teacher!

I would work with her a bit more on the shoulder roll (aka Obi-Ani), as she is doing the pulling action half way through it like I see a lot of beginner do. Other than that, it looks like she is well on her way to be a challenge even for her master.

Funny enough she was doing it fine off camera, she was very nervous about having a camera on her.
