Honestly I always loved the over-the-top lightsaber choreography in the prequels. I feel like if you are using a weightless sword, have super reflexes, and can see the future a tiny bit, that is enough of an in-universe reason for it to look nothing like a real swordfight and still work for me.

@keoshemusic3306

Nerd fact of the day: Imagine the blade of a lightsaber as a thin, tube-shaped, gyroscopic force-field that can cut stuff (not literally LIGHT blades). If you've ever held a spinning bike wheel while it's in motion, think of that (it resists motion from it's rest-state). That's why the actual canon lightsabers have weight/pull, and why lightsabers can "lock up" in duels. TLDR: "Lightsaber" = "Electromagnetically-contained plasma-jet sword" plus a lil space magic. If that makes it feel any less silly, that's how they treat it in-universe/canon

Lightsabers are not weightless they can actually be very heavy depending on the user its like Kanan said after Sabine found the saber heavier than she taught “Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade so much as you are directing a current of power.” and that emotions of the user flows through the crystal and becomes a part of the blade and it becomes lighter as the user connects with it. We see this in the BoBF and Mandalorian as well, as Paz Vizsla struggles even lifting the saber off the ground.

Luke is so dope. His wealth of knowledge and love of his craft come through so much. Plus he seems like just a cool dude in general to be around. I love when Craftsmen like him come on the show and share their movie experience and knowledge of their specific craft. Especially when it's something as dope as swordplay, and sword history. As a major fan of the old Samurai films, and especially the old swashbuckling adventure films of yesteryear like Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, and Douglas Fairbanks flicks, this inside knowledge is stuff I just eat up. Thank you so so much Luke, for sharing your skill and experience with all of us. I learn something new every time. Now excuse me while I go pretend to be Captain Blood or Zorro and practice my new sword spins lol

Good job guys. Very satisfying to watch. Happy to see Jordan in another video. She always dedicates 100% to what she needs to do.

It's true the blades weight nothing - but they make contact, they don't pass through each other. So I would think it's less about the weight of the sabre and more about trying to force the other person back. After all if you can force the blade back against the component it's automatically going to burn them.

There's also situations where the blades are not weightless. The dark saber has tangible weight and resists the user (seen in Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian). It's not too farfetched of an idea that normal sabers have a smaller inertia effect like the dark saber.

I just want to say you guys have been killing it recently

Is this Jordan's prep for "To the Death 2"?!

I be down to see a "To The Death" sequel with Jordan fighting

This was considerably better than I was expecting.

1:20 There's an explanation for that. Mandalorian season 2 explained it quite well with the dark blade. The energy that flows into the plasma blade of a lightsaber makes it feel quite heavy for the one wielding it, especially when you consider that lightsabers are supposed to have a magnetic effect. There's a powerful field generator in the hilt of a lightsaber, it creates the force field that contains the plasma blade. The high-speed oscillations of the field have a side effect of giving the weapon a resistance to motion, an apparent mass. This resistance shifts as the orientation of the blade shifts, allowing a master of the weapon to perform some lightning-fast moves if he can work with the blade instead of against it - but this feature of the weapon can also lead an incautious wielder to harm themselves.

dude yes forreal. That vid was so dope, a sequel to that could be so awesome seeing her work her way up through the school and hone her craft

I am crying at seeing swords stabbed in the ground like that..... btw, the interesting thing about a light sabre, is because the blade is made of light, you could not do half the tricks the jedi do, you need the weight of the blade for momentum, no blade weight means the centre of gravity changes, so you cant pivot it round your hand, it would just fly off. Its just circles, you can step round a circle and you connect vertical circles with horizontal ones, ones your mind realises that, you can keep flow going indefinitely, and change direction quickly and easily (give them nunchaku, getting hit in the nads or head is a great learning tool to get it right!) The fun bit is when you cross weave different (but compatible) patterns in either hand, then you really need to understand flow ratios and planes of motion.

I'll assume that since jordan is here y'all are making a sequel to the realistic lightsaber duel video. which is good, because it's one of my favorite videos from you guys!

Now they can make that sequel where Jordan goes to the sword fighting academy.

My real question about the spinning as an actual technique, is how the sword isn't just knocked out of your hand when make contact with something without a solid grip on it.

@x3z8

9 ай бұрын

As Luke mentioned at the beginning, the moulinet is a real technique used with Sabres to parry and riposte quickly. The moments where your blade will impact your opponents weapon or body you have good biomechanical structure and a solid grip so there’s no risk of being disarmed when done properly. When you flourish in a pattern you sacrifice grip on the sword to make the movement look more smooth. Flourishing (sword spinning) is not a technique for combat.

@godofgods4854

You usually don't need a "hard" grip so just adjust the grip as needed. So you let the hilt rest againt your fingers/palm and squeeze when you will make contant. Also its not a "loose" grip, those only happen if you are doing something specially special. Which is easily punished if done wrong.

Deflecting takes way less power than blocking. Same thing in hand to hand martial arts stuff someone can throw a straight up knock out punch and if you can time the deflection right it's the same force as shaking someone's hand. So if you're deflecting while spinning it's not gonna knock the blade out. A straight up block much more likely knocks it out of hand.

One of the most fun videos. The Corridor Crew just having fun learning some sword work. Love you guys and gal!

The "Ani/Obi" sword spin is so cool. It's super easy, but looks so good.

Jake, when using 2 blade I find it easier to lead with one your dominate hand and follow with the other instead of trying to concintrate on both hands doing the same thing at the same time. This should help to train your weaker hand into doing the motion. Then after enought time, the muscle memory should kick into making it easier to to the move symmetriclly

Once the pattern is confident each hand should take turns in leading depending on the movement. Initial block and cut should be strongest move, while the spin behind the back isn't as strong so follows the leading hand. The lead hand is determined by where you are facing/attacking. This also helps direction, waist turn, tightness of movements and emphasis.

This was so much fun to follow along with my bokken sword! Luke is awesome 😎.

I love that Luke actually has a grasp on swordsmanship he doesn't just throw out a technique like sword spinning just because it's flashy he recognizes that it is a valid technique that can be used in real battles and even gives some background info on these techniques and examples of how and why they're used.

Watching this video, I went in being able to do it on one hand and a half. I practiced as I watched and walked out being able to do it on both sides and BOTH AT ONCE! I've been trying to do that for a while so thank you for being my final piece too figuring it out!

"Don't make the noises, Jordan! It's like saying 'pew' when you pull the trigger." Admiral Holdo emerging from the steam: (pchew!)

That's called the "Obi-Ani" spin. Props to Jordan for using a "lightsaber" for it, too! Several great videos are on KZread teaching this technique as well. ;) And to second Luke, PLEASE do NOT stick the blades into the ground!! aarrgghh! LOL

I sympathize with Mr Luke. As someone who's been training with swords for a long time (1987), that beginning was hard-to-watch. *note the bill of their hats. Luke keeps his eye-line steady, everybody else looks down & completely turns their head in the middle of the drill.
