master yoda,

will there be some sort of trailers and clips for viewing prior to buying please?

not that i doubt the quality of instruction, just for a taster so i can see if it is something i will find usefull,  i started aikido (martial art steven segal practises)  a few months ago, there are some sword movements and staff movements involved both with weapons and in the body arts and am curious if it might help / hinder my progress in aikido.

Once I do the video, I will be making a commercial to post on youtube with tidbits of it.

What the video will consist of:

Saber basics
-parts of the saber
-different ways to hold the saber

Saber Spins
-One handed Spins
-Dual Saber Spins (2 sabers at once)
-Double Bladed Saber Spins

Dueling Basics
-types of strikes
-Strike zone rundown
-Strike and defense placement
-Zone Exercises
-Strike Zone options (different ways of using each zone)
-footwork
-basic choreography lesson

That is what I have planned and Yoda will help me add more to the Dueling part.  I might actually release 2 separate DVD's.  One for Spins only and the other for Staged Combat/dueling


May The Force FX Be With You!

Yes it could be 2 different DVDs.

Much Like you stated there Anakin, because the basics and spins would do for one.
And the Choreography type for another (that can eat up a lot of time as you know)  :D

Always in motion is the future...
talk more on this we will. ;)

Yes that's an Idea Count ;)

I hope Anakin has contacted you because He was wondering what Kind of Camera
to upgrade to to get better footage.

Drop Him a PM if you have any Ideas... but keep it affordable :D

this sounds great anakin,

is this in addition to the DVD that yoda was working on earlier in the year or is that scrapped now?

Me and Yoda talked it over and we decided for me to take over the DVD project to take some of the weight off his shoulders.

I'm going to borrow my friends digital video camera and see if I can get some decent footage for a test run.  If its good enough I will film all the parts for the video and write down how I want the cuts and such and send everything off to the Count to do the editing since he's the pro at it.

Btw Count, great job editing Yoda's fight vid.  The cuts were clean and flowed well together. 

May The Force FX Be With You!
