Form of the FIRE - (DEK) Forms of the Elements series

[Master Medwyn]

I created this saber form for the Distant Earth Knighthood representing one of the elements: the fire.

The philosophy:
- The FIRE is a mainly two handed form converting physical strength to powerful blows, slashes and stabs.
- As the flames reach out from the fire, these techniques are focusing on impulsive moves to totally overcome the opponent as soon as possible - effectiveness over art.
- It's an attacking form trying to be decisive very early. In return it does not have sophisticated defence, the defence of the Fire is only good enough to prepare to launch another powerful series of counter attacks so timing here is crucial.
- The techniques are simple and follow straight lines covering all zones. How precise they are, will create the space around the form user to utilize the next (possibly the finishing) attack.

Hope you'll enjoy, any feedbacks are very welcome

Cool   For someone who fights with the Kylo Ren "spirit," as feels most natural to me, this is definitely the best fit and the closest to my mindset.

I am curious to know though, have you considered how this form would be adapted to a crossguard saber?  To me that seems like it would be a natural outgrowth of Fire.

I think it's doable.
Only at those limited spins you may need more attention - the crossguard is not necessarily a spin-friendly feature The best could be to leave those forward spins out of it completely or make them wider and let the body follow the moves so it's not only the wrist taking the whole weight at the epicenter.
I'm curious how it goes, please let me know if you tried! (I have a medieval bastard sword replica made of steel but it's far away from me so I can not give any reference unfortunately.)

I should warn you I am not very skilled right now, but if someday I ever figure out how to do it I might see if I can video it!

+1

I have added this to my workout playlist.   

[Dauntless Seven]

Really enjoyed watching you and your Fire form.  Everything's good about the whole video and I must say that you have got " the moves like Jagger ".      +1 and look forward to seeing another Element.   

[Vivectius]

Interesting.

I'll agree with the video that it lacks "proper" defense.

I'm curious as well to see future videos.  If I can make a request, after you do a video for each individual element, I'd like to see one or two where you bring them all together.

[Drahcir]

Really love this concept, I'll have to add it to my saber routine/workout.
I look forward to seeing future videos.

[Darth Weinstein]

I really enjoyed the video. I like the elemental approach. Looking forward to the next video.

[Master Medwyn]

Thank you all, the next video, the Water is due and actually could be useful to extinguish the "fire" I have because of a nasty sith virus which have been pinning me to bed for a few days
Time to work on a healing form and count my midichlorians if there's any...

[Rapine]

That looked awesome medwyn!

I'm further inspired - a daily occurrence on this forum, it seems.

Thanks.

Point.

& boom goes the dynamite.
great vid.
any other adaptations of Fire using a staff &/or dual sabers?

I have a secret plan for that in the long run but I need to get a second saber first and a staff
(I was unlucky on the raffle and my raffle order is a hilt on back order so I guess I have some time until I can start thinking about these projects. Fortunately a single saber can keep me occupied for endless time )

if you don't already have one, be sure to order a coupler for your raffle hilt.
