Been a while, so I'm a bit out of practice, but here's some video I took last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQbDmNgDEaY |

Looks good. And point for posting. I particularly like the tight double rotation you did last. If you are looking for suggestions, the main thing I would suggest is to get your off hand involved more.

Well first off, do you have a tendency to practice the moves you can do with your right hand on the left? If not, that is a good place to start. If you are going to get into dual wield, it will be an absolute must. If you do, then you saw at the end of your routine where you went from the spin to a two handed strike. You ended up with the saber in your left hand as you went to turn off the camera. Same concept but just keep spinning with the left after you let go. There are plenty of ways to get the saber from one hand to the other, you can get into the frills later. The most no frill way to do it is simply to switch to both hands then let go with one. When both arms are equally comfortable you can develop a much more dynamic routine by switching hands multiple times while you spin.

Awesome! Thanks  I've practiced some with my left hand, but not nearly enough--and yeah, I do plan to dual-wield so it's definitely something I need to work on. I'll try that tonight (as long as it's not raining, haha). |

Dual-wielding is always fun. A lot of people jump right into it without first learning the moves in each hand first, so they tend to get all tangled and frustrated from their lack of coordination. Plus when you learn the moves with your left hand, you gain more confidence and are able to do a lot more since you have both sides of your body to work with and aren't just limited to one.
As for it raining, I'd gladly take some rain right now... It's snowed here the past week and I can't get outside to film or anything. Rain would be a god-send for me now lol

It was fun... However, my wife had come up to me and said they were having sign ups for lightsaber duels... When they explained the rules, had to change gears real quick.... Didn't expect to win, but making to the finals and making the first cut was gratifying...... And it gave me my own fanclub for the rest of the night... Lol.. Zero back to grey if you don't mind..... Thanks! |
