Awesome! I’ve been wanting to try out some levi-saber or wand work, too. What are you using for a pull cable? Also, very cool to see some saber footage from you, DC😁🤙🏻

Just plain old black nylon cord. Nothing fancy.

Thank you so much Imgumby that's awesome for you to say,lol I know what it is we love to do what we do and don't want to stop. Today my arms and knees started getting bad so for the love of God (myself) please stop 🤣.

Just a short clip, doing the fishtail with this lit is a lot more difficult than it looks. I think I'm getting more comfortable with the fire.

Now I understand the fishtail. Looks awesome!
This upwards fishtail is basically an upwards figure 8, but the prop is located on the top of the wrist. It’s a little hard to tell in my low quality video, but the palm of my hand is not on the sword until after I’ve returned to the forward facing position.

Just put my lightsaber staff together, my hands took a beaten worst was the wooden sword lol at end of video I'll show you
Yeah, definitely take it easier on your body, dude🤙🏻. I’ve had periods where i’ve just had to wait for the sore wrist or the sore shoulder to get better. Usually i end up working the offhand or single handed if one wing’s mending😉. Your front spin( windmill) and barrier flourishes are looking pretty good! Just be sure to take the time when transitioning from front to back to nail the positioning and technique on those spins. I found it took a while to bring my left(offhand) side to a full orbit vs cutting it a little short, or flat. Getting that smoothed out will make transitioning to movement and strikes much easier(and smoother). That’s where slowing it down will allow you to also concentrate on the footwork needed to transition from flourish to stance and so on😊🤙🏻 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes I completely agree, its hard I want to do something everyday. I didn't do anything yesterday or today lol I'm healing a lot of muscle. Also agree and understand about slowing my skin down to get the perfect grab and rotate forward. I always appreciate your words of wisdom Master Elwood and will be back in a few days when healed. I'm afraid of the staff I realized my steps went out the window , hopefully next time I put it all together 🤙 thank you brother

Got a good day of sabering in. I've been really focusing on control and speed transition with weapons training over the last few years and it has really made a difference. Even changed the way I spar. I put in an example of this is the beginning. Trying to accent speed on the strikes.
It's no fire sword, but it will have to do. Can't wait to see you spinning the fire sword in one hand, and a saber in the other Sam!

An inspiring demo to watch, Master Resolute!🙏🏻😊 your body movements and technique are mesmerizing, methodical, and masterful! Thank you for the share, and the extra nudge to grab my sabers and get training😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m loving your weak hand work master. I was attempting to to some last week and was really struggling. It’s always beneficial to me to watch your videos for things I need to try to improve my form. Much respect and gratitude.🙏🏼

What's up Mighty Gum? Aren't we lucky to have such incredible Resident Masters? I would call my left hand my weak hand, but when Master Resolute uses his, I would call it off hand. It's too developed to call it his weak hand anymore. Probably been that way for years. So many questions. Where is the new relic Relic Wars (rhetorical, I just want it NOW!)? When does Obi-Wan Wakanda get a staff? Will Master Elwood Graestar in a show of extreme gratitude to us all post tutorials 2 days after his own wedding (Yes. The answer to that one is yes.)? Will our heroes be able to save the day? Will Master Venturous bless us with a new spinning video (please? Like, seriously, come on dude). Tune in next week for more: Tales from the Saber Artistry Section! Shouts out to everyone!
