There is no chaos, there is harmony.


« on: July 26, 2012, 07:02:20 PM »

So, as a person wishing to become better at dueling (but lacking the time and/or money to professionally study kendo or fencing or whatever), and knowing the wonderful value of the Internet, I would like to know if any of you fine folks here have any suggestions for YouTube lightsaber training videos?
I have already found Master Nonymous's Terra Prime academy; the few I have had time to watch so far have been absolutely invaluable.  However (not to disparage you in any way, Master Nonymous; I have loved your videos so far), I would like to see and learn examples of other instructors' styles as well (and I figure some will have different techniques and such too). So, any input is much appreciated!

right now , there isnt a lot in the same vein as what master nonymous is offering, hopefully there is more in the future

at most you will find short videos covering various concepts, but nothing truly structured on a form


in all honesty just work on those and develop your own skills to flesh them out in a way that works for you, they serve as a great foundation to work off of.

For inspiration, I usually watch the Forceclash series! They're not instructional but they give alot of ideas!

Wow, that ForceClash video was amazing; incredibly well choreographed (if indeed it was choreographed).

The only comment I have (on the video, not my topic Tongue) is that the Jedi had a very aggressive Soresu; it almost seemed more like a Form V, maybe Shien to me.

You should watch the ENTIRE Forceclash videos.. including the promos... They are some of my favorite lightsaber videos to date. I watch the videos at least once or twice a month... I used to watch them every day.

Also check out this video. Not very instructional, but VERY motivational. Jedi Ninjas featuring Team2X

Well, if you want a "Basic" tutorial video, here is also a really good one! This guy goes over the basics, not as thorough as Terra Prime but I think what he teaches can be branched out for more advanced things!

Points for Solinus for posting that awesome vid again xD

I mix both a bit, for pure training and basics i take advice from the vids from terra prime, very good, very clear. When i want to loosen up a bit the vids like Solinus posted come in more handy. I might be a bit onorthodox in this but i feel like i want to add more of me to my style. There are 7 forms but i dont feel like i want to be restricted to one form or another. Dont know if im being blasphemus here xD

Just feels good when i combine some various things, and sometimes they naturaly flow into something that feels right.

I would almost say keep those inspirational vids coming, but this probably is not the right thread for it ^^

Greetings,

Thanks for the point! This is one of my favorite videos. I actually have the music for the video on my phone. Come Halloween, I am playing this song as I walk into the room and perform my saber free form during my company's costume contest.
