Reclaiming the Blade Premier

[downwithbreeders]

Proud user of the fools guard( lower guard). No one ever does expect it to really make a difference in a sparring match. I also used it before playing soul calibur, my friend got really pissed at me for using it. Yes, it is effective.

Were there no western sword arts demonstrated at the premier?

[tomurso]

@TDH1198 On premier night, in addition to my small contribution, there were wonderful demonstrations performed by the Clemson University Fencing team, students of the late Mr. Hank Reinhardt & a Belegarth group. For a more complete record of the event, please view the Youtube clip "RTB Premiere Event at The Brooks Center".

Kendo is so lame.

@baphomet418 Here is bit of information that you might find interesting. "As of 2000, several million people practice Kendo in Japan, including about 1.2 million who have been awarded a rank-Dan in the art. Kendo is (also) enjoyed by about one million practitioners abroad" per a AUSKF affiliated school's website. Thank you for watching.

Hey Tom, I was in one of your classes at Clemson in Fall '07 and remembered you mentioning this movie. I just happened to come across it on Netflix and watched it. I really enjoyed it.

[tomurso]

I am glad that you enjoyed the film & thanks for watching.

WOW, the cutting part was unreal.

I would not want to be on the wrong end of that blade.

It only takes one strike and its over!

[JustLeftMovie]

Looks great. My favorite part is the cutting. Cool stuff!

[tomurso]

[CoffinPuppet]

Nice demo.Looks like everyone did have a great time as well. Was there anyone representing Euro/Western styles there besides the Fencing Team? Just wondering.

[tomurso]

Thanks. At the Premier, demos were performed by not only my school but also the Clemson University Fencing team & a Live Action Role Players organization. However, in the film, there are a variety of Western sword arts & organizations being represented. Great stuff!
