And lastly me vs the giant using an initiate with a 32 inch blade(va) Sorry bout hte bad focus, camera person was a bit jittery cos there was a junebug with a 6 inch wingspan flying around and it had her freaked a bit.

If you have been watching all the videos I have been posting, or watching my youtube channel. I really think that over the last month there has been a massive improvement in technique, and control. Please leave any feedback you can, if you spot something in particular toss in the time of what you notice into your comment so i can go over it more in detail.

Keep them coming.  I like this very much.

Working on it. It helps that we have about 5 guys, all within a 10 min drive of each other. its Just a matter of working out schedules. gonna start using a halogen lamp on an extension cord to give us better light, and should start using a different camera soon rather than my iphone4.

I have a 1080p like 500$ camcorder i bought my wife for xmas the year our son was born, so she could take all the videos she wanted.....needless to say its never been used other than a couple times (for most things the iphone video just works so well and way easier to access). OH well, its going to start getting usage now.

Anything in particular you want to see more of blue?

[Master Bluespike74]

I just like pictures and videos.  Helps my day go by faster sometimes. 

[Veldryne]

Fair enough, ill keep them coming.

In the last video around the 108-109 mark nope didnt hit him, just stopped the blade like 2 inches in front of his nose.

Step1 blind the giant
step2 hack the ankles and bring him down to a decent fighting level.

Seems that you are showing good control, some cool techniques... Doesn't look like anyone is out for blood or anything... All in all I'd say you're on the right track!!! The videos were very enjoyable, I agree a halogen lamp would probably give you guys some more light, and believe it or not keep you from mistaking the trail of the blade for the actual blade lol!
1!

[Veldryne]

I dont have much trouble with the blade trails when we are going at it, but i know scott (the giant) it was really throwing him off for a while, because the bokken and other weapons he usually practices with....dont glow.


Anything in particular you think in particular I should work on at all? Lucien you have way more experience than any of us in my little group here so good feedbackk is always appreciated.
