I've always admired your level of control and one thing I love about your style is how you very the speed of your strikes. Masterful as always.

Thanks.  Slow is Smooth, smooth is fast. We will use speed transitions at my academy to show that you have the weapon and your footwork under control at all times. Keeps you in Flow better as well.Speaking of which, those Saber chukka's you have are awesome!

Already stolen some of your stuff. I haven't mastered it with the staff yet, but I can pull off an Angel roll 6 out of 10 attempts now and keep it smooth. Smacked myself in the head REALLY hard the other day when I tried it at speed.
Beautiful as always Ryan.

Thank you Kindly. Working on a QRC #4 spin vid at the moment. Definitely have to share some of the bloopers on this one. Don't have anything I like yet, other than a ton of fails.

That's rad Ryan! A lot of really good stuff from everyone in the last few days. So much inspiration.

I agree. Lots of great stuff the last couple weeks. Let's keep it going!

Lol. Now im going to end up calling it that.

Here you go. Different type of expression. Not a single little flower or blossom.  Training for our Fan Film so im going a little outside of my comfort zone with the rigid, two hand, big steppin' movements. I prefer dual wield Smiley

Venturous, it's no Sterling but the song reminded me of one of your spin vid's.

That song was used in one of the previous Spin Wars Episodes (I think either Episode 2 or 3). I like how it is mostly strike oriented, which is something I need to incorporate more of into my style. Plus, that gave me an idea which I don't believe has been done before. As a new challenge to issue people, you have to make a five minute video of free-style spinning without doing a single little flower or plum blossom. That would teach people to not rely so heavily on probably two of the most common techniques and to learn how to work in other moves. And to be quite honest, I'd probably fail that challenge.

I love your martially rooted vids, Ryan.  Given that i’ve been an amateur ninja(insert chuckle here) ever since i was a wee lad, seeing you bridge that with lightsabers just leaves me with that feeing of awe like when i was little.  Watching my first Norris, Lee, and Van Damme- oh the amazing montages!!🤘🏻

I suppose chopping fruit qualifies.... Grin Nice series of strikes. I definitely need to add more to my style to break up the monotony of spins.

No joke- it’s a really fun way to work out striking fluidity, and like i said a killer cardio!  My fiancé and i take turns and work on our strike form to prep for our choreography we’ll be tying into soon.  That’ll be a special video posting titled” Our First Dance🤘🏻😁”

 That's a brilliant idea. I cant't wait to see the results.

Looking through my old uploads I saw this.  Thought it looked kind of cool and forgot even recording it.  It’s weird seeing how similar he moves to me.

Like master like padawan😁.  Indeed, Sam, i think you’d make for a good teacher!  And on a side note- it’d really be a shame if you maybe posted some more of your crossguard saber work....juuuuust saying😛

Looking good.

Good stuff Elwood, would like to see you with some room so you can move around.

Sam, well done teaching the flourishes! His movements definitely have a Samhain flavor to them, but I can see subtle differences. Points for all.
