I shall challenge Taegin to post something from the initial criteria.

Would some dueling count? Because I might be able to find a short video of me and one of my brothers doing a little bit of dueling, nothing fancy, just swinging our sabers really (our sabers didn't connect much, because he has the ForceFX Darth Maul replica, and he doesn't want to break it).

EDIT: Also, yes, I agree with Jediseth. That was wonderfully done.

It's a good thing lightsabers aren't real, otherwise I'd have a lobotomy from spin practice....

As would we all. I would also have no limbs left. @Ryan. I am planning to accept your challenge on Monday. I am putting together my videos on general lightsaber use and the seven forms now. They are proving a bit tricky to edit because of all the parts. Monday I will start the tutorial reboot proper with a new look at the most basic skills.

While I haven't been challenged, and if I were to be, I don't know if I'd take the time to shoot a movie, I have been following this thread, and it has inspired me to up my practice. since I'd like to follow this thread easier, I thought I'd drop this here.

I took this shot tonight. Dual Obi Anis with a slower shutter speed.

You can't tell much as far as technique, but it's just a fun shot I liked.

Looks good. I recall somewhere on the forums a thread dedicated to Saber Photography that had a lot of long exposure shots like that.

I do remember seeing that thread. If I can convince my wife to take some with her Nikon, I'll put some up there. Those are really good.

no where near as skilled as some of the others here. Flipping is still entirely new to me. Going to do a 90 day progression and track my progress. Obviously I will not do a vid on all of them, only when I have a breakthrough on something. Here is some basics I'm getting better at. ( posted it here because I challenged myself to do it!! )

That was great Cheesy Cheesy

But seriously, your backhand is so smooth. Looks really good. And your flips look so effortless as well. Well earned point.

Thanks! Greatly appreciated. I'll be taking a break from my " Solo " Star Wars projects for a few months while I work with friends on a project that will definitely find its way here. Also, my club starts the rehearsal phase next week. So I'll have two projects to focus on. I'll keep my youtube active but it will mostly be for my " Coordination " Sundays training. Anyway, I'll still be around to challenge you guys! Speaking of which, lets see some more self expression! Spinning is fun but this one, at the end, showcases some MeiHuaQuan broadsword. If only I was still in my twenties( stupid hip damage)...those butterfly kicks (combat version) would look so much better. I hate being able to teach flips and acrobatics but have to have an assistant instructor do them because my boss doesn't want me to risk it anymore...bah!! I'm rambling.

Community Challenge. If you've posted in this thread, I challenge you to show us some spin and/or combat skills!!

Nicely done. I especially love that little torquing move you did from :30 - :31. You definitely incorporate a lot more striking into your style than I do, which I need to work on more.

Thanks. my mobility is coming back slowly. So you'll start to see a lot more cross stepping and some capoeira make it into the vids. Which is what that was (cross-stepping). Im hoping that by the end of this year to be completely recovered and back to normal. Or " almost " normal.  Grin Grin
