This weapon is your life: Saberfit Challenge

[Veldryne]

Even solo practice works just document it.

[Veldryne]

No documentation unfortunately. We had six people out.

We taught for about an hour, some basic shii cho to the three newer folks. Then it started raining so everyone went home. Shouldnt be a problem in the future, one of our guys just bought a house in the area with a double wide garage, and 10 foot ceilings.

After that, one of the guys and I went to al local high school and were dueling in front of the main doors, as they have a large area with an awning so we didnt get soaked. This was at about 11pm at night so we didnt disturb anyone.

However a car did drive by, and stop to take video (we could tell because of the recording light on the camera) We are currently searching facebook and youtube to see if the video was posted anywhere, they drove off before we could ask.

we do however have a photo of our group from last night, that my wife took for us. Pardon the bad lighting, it was pouring rain and it really threw off the flash.

Great idea, i like it.

[Solinus]

Very nice. I havent had anyone to be able to help me take any video, and all attempts to "prop" my phone up have failed.

The Force is NOT with me. 

Hopefully soon though.

Its cool mate, I look forward to seeing them.

For the forseable future, my videos will be of my interpretation of Ataru, as im working on creating it as a form, as per my post in the ataru thread.

Untill we have the final version of some of the techniques, this will be the only glimpse im giving everyone into how my work is progressing. I put in 2 hours last night of saber work, going to put in another two it looks like tonight.

I look forward to seeing your results with Ataru!  It'll be interesting to see you move outside your current comfort zones of Shii-Cho and Soresu.

[Veldryne]

Yup, especially since you are helping me develop it lol.

Well, here's my first one.  Just a short spin for now, but I'll upload some more soon.

[Veldryne]

Nicely done, good controll at the higher speeds. I didnt see the trajectories waver very much at all, showing good consistancy.

Maybe work on pulling one saber out of the spins for a strike, and then working it back into the spins. All while having that offhand still continuing the same motion.

Just something I think would be cool to see.

I've tried pulling it out for a strike a couple times, but so far it upsets the rhythm too much to get it back in.

[Veldryne]

lol, as quoted so often on the forums

slow is smooth, smooth is fast

try it at like quarter speed

[Solinus]

Did I miss something? I can't see any videos.

Can you repost?

There is a technique. Practice the major and minor orbits and try stopping them by squeezing your saber in your fist sharply and quickly. If you try just on one side with one circle at a time you can then figure out how to integrate them better. There is a video in the works for this but it is further down the queue so I thought I would give a little tip here.

[Veldryne]

The video is linked on his YouTube channel at the start of the thread. I asked everyone to just post their channels rather than each video to keep it a tad more organized.
