Shinai Explorations - Spring 2009 Shinai Sword Fighting Highlights

[AlexTomFB]

hello i am 5foot 8 and i was wondering what size sword i should use because i am really wanting to do this

[trifidus13]

Sooo...how long have you guys been doing this?

[axonian]

@trifidus13 5 years on and off - if we all got together more we would gain some more comfort in the flow of it - but its fun and with times it always improves.

[trifidus13]

@axonian I know the feeling. You will learn a lot in the next five years, if you stay consistent. It looks like i might have to make a trip up to the bay area.

[axonian]

@trifidus13 we do have part of our team in the bay area the other part of our team is in canada. the guys in this video are the canada team...lol

yeah i know what you mean about staying the course to gain results and learn

[AlexExodia]

Have you ever tried fighting with bokkens?

[axonian]

no if we did that- we would have to take a different aproach - and start from scratch - it would be too easy to seriously hurt one another and that would not make it fun. and that would well ruin the experience

[MOUNTAINOUS]

as always you guys are having fun together learning from each other and trying out new things. keep up the training. are you moving to cali? if so you will be closer. keep up the fun max

[EvangelionFan]

A couple parts made me laugh,..HARD XD hahaha fucking epic....I LOVED the sword fights, very fluid movements, fast paced, its nice.

Hey, the missing are back ;)

great stuff bro.. realy.. anton seems to be much better as last year!

some realy great movements and flows...

but what impressed me much more is.. your spirit bro.. i could feel the fun you guys had.. the good feeling you had when you med and had a good time.. thats why i love your movies.. like George said.. we can get some of your spirit only by watching!

Thank you very much for that!

[axonian]

yeah its charged with fun emotions and spirit- i would hate to see it being powered by anger or even hate - it wouldbe be so nice to see - there wouldnt be that much flow or co creation- there would only be the intention to destory or hurt and thats all there would be.

we love to have fun ang get better at what we do in a co creative way- this has its many many rewards:)

SPIRIT:)
