6:57 Sir Ben over here with his special ability, the Afterblow. *Epic anime explanation moment* The Afterblow is a special ability that relies on the shockwave of the initial impact to propel the sword back to the target using a technique called "Windverse" that warps the wind to act in your favor, thus reversing the shockwave's push into a pull to pull the blade, along with the strength of the wielder and hit the target again after the initial blow. Yes, i made it up as i went. get sir Shad Facts to make it canon.

I'm so glad to see Shad's surgery a while back did its job. You look far livelier than two years ago.
Thanks for the laughs on these tests. It reminds me, many years ago I did a photo-shot for a company making LARP gear, and we had a medieval show-fighting group to provide the testers. They brought their own metal armor, and at first were quite dismissive about the LARP weapons being only foam and looking fake compared to their stuff. But when they found out they could whack each other with them without fear on damage and injury all hell broke loose. :) We all had a lot of fun that day, and the company got some nice promotional shots out of it.
