If your thinking of getting a QRC, do it. Here is a montage of some demo's I did over the last year. Feel free to ask me any questions. Practice practice practice. Creating this thread in the Artistry section to see if we can get it going as a QRC video reference section. Let's see some demo's!

The thumb is the most common injury.....just throwing that out there.

Ordered mine yesterday🤙🏻 your flow with the QRC is constantly improving, Resolute- and your subsequent control over that effing aluminum beater in your pike setup is amazing! I’ll be applying mine to my nagamaki approach.  I’d like to put a really short blade on the pommel end, for more of an offhand guard weapon.  My dual wield flow is still a tad “meh”, but my single handed combat flow could support some easy transitions and generally cool-looking offhand flow posing.  And i REALLY like the feel of a long-handled saber😜

thanks. Lots of outtakes. The first time I put a demo together it took about 100 attempts. Now, its about 20 - 25 attempts before I get something. Slowly getting there. I have some new methods im messing around with. That being said, still focusing on smoothing out the " basics ".

The Pike extensions make for a good workout. If you watch closely, when I flip grip with the staff/pikes you'll see a Kylo Rage moment when the weight almost ripped my shoulder in half. Thats why that particular demo ended there, had to nurse the injury.

Let me know if you have questions. I'd say play with your own techniques before trying anything I've done. That way, hopefully, you'll find something I haven't. Plus, when you find them on your own, they are yours forever.

That's grand, Master Resolute!
I can imagine how difficult to operate this QRC and the way you do it is just awesome!

QRC question for you, Master Res- do you have both models of couplers?(meaning vented and non-vented) and if so, is one more robust than the other?

Very nice set. +1

The QRC gets easier and easier to use with some wear and tear. Made my night seeing someone else throw up a QRC video. Very hard to use but gives you a chance to train many different methods almost all at once.

Very nice Elwood. Your staff is looking great. I also kinda really liked the dual wield where you hold one still while using the other one. Changes it up just slightly from the norm, but still looks great. I don't think I've ever seen someone else do that before. Very cool.

Thanks, Master Res🤙🏻! And let’s not forget about how cool that thing SOUNDS when you use it😄! The weirdest thing to me is just having each hilt be able to rotate or “float” from the coupler’s set up- but you get used to the slight give in the grip pretty quickly.

Many thanks, Taegin🙏🏻😊.  The biggest reason why i dual wielded that way was just to keep one saber out of the way, but also because my single wield is waaaaay more comfortable to me.  It started as a safety, but started to flow😁🤙🏻

And shouts and thanks to you, Silenoz🤘🏻😁! The scary unknown is only scary and unknown until you introduce yourself.  Regards, Respect, and Honor🤙🏻

If only the QRC training days were always smooth.

This is more of an example of what a normal session with the Quick Release Coupler looks like. I pick 2 or 3 techniques to focus on and start to drill and drill and drill and.....you get the idea.

Only one thumb was heavily injured in the making of this video.   Cool Undecided
