here we go! if anyone finds a fail-spin, go ahead and call it. either way this was 5 minutes straight, no stops, and with as much fluidity as I could muster without a single blossom, flower, or eclipse. cheers!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj2kDU6RU7Y Epic! This is great if for no other reason than I don't think I have seen anyone do 5 straight minutes of spinning even with eclipses. I already really dig your style, but it's interesting to see it change (in an awesome way) to accommodate this challenge. I see several new things I want to try in this video. This is why I enjoyed trying this, and why I hope more people will. Do you feel like you learned a lot by having restrictions on what you could do? I'm obviously not the one to make the call on what you did at 1:47, I trust Master Venturous, but if that's a reverse eclipse I've been doing them wrong. It's highly likely that I have. I like the strike that follows at 1:49. I would like to call that a "Krayt dragon punch". Shoryuken!

I don't know...that move at 1:47 looked an awful lot like a reverse grip eclipse. I thought the flow was on point though and the reverse grip work is smoother than mine.
That move was totally a bail from ALMOST hitting a flower 🤣 it took a lot of concentration to not use them, and i did ultimately really dig being pushed out of that comfort zone. It was fun, and i dug the workouts(two short take fails, and another full 5 minute where i left frame for a few seconds) and many many thanks for the compliments, Master V! And yeah, Gar- that move made me think Dragon Uppercut for sure! It may or may not have been an inspiration on past practice occasions🤙🏻 Thanks, TR! Always appreciated😁 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good job with that. I know what you mean about the bail. I had to do that once or twice too. There was a point in mine where I was heading into one and I had to dead stop the saber to avoid it. Frpom now on though, I think a revers grip plum flower with a pivot should only be known as a dragon uppercut.

Just a dragon uppercut, or a Kryat dragon uppercut?

Thanks, DC! Means a good deal😁. I’m down with a reverse grip flower being the kryat dragon uppercut🤘🏻- i may just have to try and work in an arial pivot to give a little more homage to Street Fighter😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to watch that vampire-series (Twilight?) with no Eclipse but the whole story made no sense... Or is this the wrong thread?!...

I don't think skipping any of the twilight movies could really be called a challenge. Watching them might be. If I were a cruel man, I would challenge people to watch the second one without fast forwarding. I don't know that it can be done if one is to preserve one's sanity.

I will not be participating in this challenge. My sanity is questionable as it is.

I, too will respectfully decline this challenge. Not for sanity’s sake- but because i don’t want to have to clean up projectile vomit from my entertainment wall👍🏻 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I still can't believe more people haven't participated in this challenge. I tried. I failed, yet I learned. I also learned from watching the other two people that participated. I would still like to see more attempts at least. If you cant do a full 5 minutes, just post what you can do.

didn't go 5 minutes, but my " Battle Meditation " video has no little flowers/plum blossoms in it on the first two Sets. Which is about 4 minutes long or so. I'll give it an attempt this coming weekend, one clip beginning to end

thanks! I think for the 5 minutes I will go Spear mode. If I had a US Renegade, I'd use that. Next order perhaps.

I'd say for our next challenge (if it hasn't been done yet), you have to make another 3-5 minute video using only your non-dominate hand. To add extra challenge, it must include at least two aerial throws.
