Some people just like to be negative. I'm not sure how you could state that the 6 basic zones as not correct technique. I've been to a panel with Nick Gillard at CIV and asked him personally about terminology and movement used for the films. Although it will come to no surprised to Yoda, he said they use the 6 basic zones when communicating to the actors in SW (well 6 plus 1 for the back, so 7 really). Anyway basics are completely overlooked by most groups and it's nice to see this kind of thing pointed out. Just my two cents worth.
Thank You for that Arcana, 8) I will do what I must :D
Gilliard is part of those organizations I've mentioned and hence why I'm trying to get everyone on the same page.
Just as you and the Bariss got to experience with Ultra's group and LA Jedi at Com-Con ;D
I know when we were going over things you got the hang of things real well so I look forward to
seeing your progressions with your saber use.
Next time we are all at a show we'll do some more training/dueling and get into a few short routines etc..
In fact while we are on it and since you had mentioned Gilliard's notation of the behind the back 7
(7 Left side) (and 8 right side) ;)
I'll also point out that the Anakin behind the back is actually two hit's of 11 and 12 in a similar sequence.
These are parries first seen and used by Dooku against Yoda in Ep2 8)
I was going over this with the LA Jedi as well but it's not in the videos and requires a more slow point for
point parrie and appropriate attacks demo to show placement and timing etc...
Remind me and I'll show you next time I see you at a show ;) you'll be able to pick it up no problem 8)
by the way did you get my PM about your Vos saber?
MTFBWY
always
