You've Been Challenged

[Jaymes1980]

Being a huge fan of  Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) from Rogue One, i was inspired to issue  my first challenge on the Forum: The Blind Swordsman.  2 minutes of blindfolded saber work.  Find a good open safe space, and let the Force guide your movements.  This helped me tune in to the feel of a saber like never before- i hope you all have fun with this one!

  tactile as hell😀 hear the saber feel it against yours and do what you do 😁 I do this crossing arms in Practical Wing Chun

[Jaymes1980]

Hallway Challenge Accepted!! (Super small hallway, and super small saber!!)

  you moved so well 💪💥

I respectfully challenge Dauntless Seven in 3 mins of lightsaber battle from front side and rear changing her height from average shorter and taller in any mix. Spinning or saber combat is cool. I'm nervous lol my first challenge of a powerful person here 😯

[Dauntless Seven]

   Well... you definitely caught me off guard lol  .  Master Elwood also put one out there a few months ago.  All I can say is that somewhere down the line I will share ( I'm actually a private person on the internet/social media ).  Have recently gifted my physical trainers with some sabers so will see what we can come up with.  Unfortunately we all are quite busy and have yet to connect for any saber sparring time.  I haven't practiced spinning in awhile and must get back to it. 

So I guess what I am saying is challenge accepted... but no time to deliver restrictions. 

[Jaymes1980]

   Awesome  I'm looking forward to it and time isn't an issue at all, being here has already gotten me off my  plateau and learning new spins and moves. So what I'm saying is your all awesome 😁

PEER PRESSURE! PEER PRESSURE!

Here is my challenge, things I'm working on: finding my sweet spots of my feet balance and posture. If you think this is bad should have seen me last year lol https://youtu.be/nDfuQm8SB-I

apologies for the late response, Jaymes- point for your fully honest first challenge response you've got a lot of power behind everything you bring, so cheers to trying to tame that down.  I think what will level up your staff flow is switching up your grip  bit. you stick to the thumb to thumb, but if you go over-under( like you're holding one saber in a fore-grip and one in a reverse grip) it frees your shoulders and arms to move much more naturally.  you can also bring your hands together to get to the real speed that you're after.  just you know, slower at first

 thank you Master Elwood,  lol did I do that I will check I usually start holding staff in front of my body then turn  it over under my right arm I bet a million dollars I lose the transition somewhere thank you for helping me there. I been running into some trouble with my balance lately. Thought I had that down maybe cause my legs are so sore I hadn't taken a break going every day due to my addiction to the movement and gain of skill. My Achilles is sore as hell, I posted something new in the video area please take a look and if you would be so kind to give me some knowledge on my balance. I figured out the 360 while spinning that's what did me in at the end, for the love of God I hope I'm smart enough to not grab anything to train and just sit on my .... first awhile.    Point given for your much appreciated help

[Master Resolute]

Decided to share one of the training sessions. Added a challenge to the end of this one. Skip to the saberstaff at the end to see it. Left in the mistakes.

Great video, Master Resolute. I love your foot work and your strikes! 

[Taegin Roan]

Here is my response to Ryan's challenge. Just me doing some basic spins and strikes in my Nassago costume. I shall challenge Taegin to post something from the initial criteria.

I know it's a bit late, but I have finally accepted this challenge.

It's an older video, but it still checks out. 

Hopefully(I think) you guys noticed some pretty bad effects in it. And not to gloss over Master Resolute's latest challenge or anything, but I'm going to take this as an opportunity to challenge everyone to add some effects to their videos. The cringier (more cringy?) the better. And unless Master Res has a problem with it, I'd say you are welcome to complete both these challenges in the same video.
Anyways, hope this brings joy to someone.

Nice reference.

Better late than never. That was awesome, Taegin!

Anyways, hope this brings joy to someone.

Achieved!

Well done sir. Glad to see you got around to it eventually.

Great work, Taegin!  Glad you posted a video! Love your hand tosses and strikes!
