Sword Form Rage - Tom Roach

[tobbis54]

Awesome m8, you should check out mine :)

It's not sword art though but still :) Btw do you got an copy of this video without the hang time of the picture effect? Would love to see what you are actuly doing with the sword in specific details :)

[donj876]

Are you trying to become the worlds greatest swordsman or something like that lol? Thats my goal, in actuality there's no such thing i believe, but i think striving for it is the goal. I watch you demonstrate your proficiency and to be honest, im jealous, you inspire me to practice more to become better with the blade...Good job man!

[fulleipreachan]

you're got skill

nice song

[whitedog86]

What song is this I can't seem to find it? btw Tom I saw your video in Iraq outstanding video brother

[TPRoach]

@whitedog86 Thanks man, its a live version of 'wilder wein' by Rammstein. Were you serving in Iraq?

[whitedog86]

@TPRoach I was in Tikrit, Iraq for 7 months Saddams hometown and I think everytime I had downtime I watched one of your videos. I got the song too and the live concert dvd the lyrics fit the song well excellant work. You make me want to relocate to EU to train more I swing nunchanku for close to 6 years now but I dabble with my bokken.

[TPRoach]

@whitedog86 - Thank you for the kind words whitedog86, and thanks 'from everyone' for your courage and service over in Iraq. It seems insane that you were able to watch this while in such a dangerous place. I have friends there now. We owe you boys a lot. Keep dabbling with the bokken and take care mate :)

Pleasure to meet you.. Roachy.

[DanBowenTV]

SO freaking cool bro.

[bobizking1]

RIP Tom's dog

[eliotudino]

salut jaime bien !

[GRANTREVEL]

god ill love to meet u and ask if u could help me my skills wow ur wicked

[grimsdyke]

When you do one handed spins, are you rolling the sword's handle over and around your whole hand or spinning it through each individual finger? Kind of like a drum stick/baton.

[TPRoach]

thanks miguel, nice archery skill mate

[miketalhoffer]

Hell yeah rage!! But it's the "good rage" mixed with extremely awesome skill and art.

Tom do never stop doing this, it is clearly a part of yourself.

[mahydraal]

this is art put in a form that shows its purest beuty nd performed by a skilled swordsman.....this is..purely inspiring...

[TPRoach]

thank you mahydraal, good luck with your training

[TheJoshuaearly]

Keep them coming!!! a demonstration in water would be killer mate!!!

[icecrimson]

you should try XMA dude!

[erwin191990]

do you use live steel or iaito?

[TPRoach]

live steel and bokkens for practice

[RipNoir]

You became very skillfull - your own style with rudimental elements.

Teachfully and plain.

Auf bald!

[pranakhan]

I enjoy your fluidity with the blade, but I offer little constructive criticism. Your body demonstrates a little rigidness in the joints as you transition from resting posture to movement & vice-versa. Try to be conscious of breathing changes that happen w/ these transitions. It will give your strikes more power, increase stamina & overall health of the body. I respect your continued development & look forward to your videos. Thanks.

[Bukva00]

dude you should try running that would look sweet! ^^

[wepntech]

i like the fact that the dog just kinna sit there in da end look confused or scrared and good work as always man

[Deathrosser]

Perfect! I love your moves with the blade. They should use guys with your talents in a action movie. :D

[SherubiGashes]

What effect is this? Id like to use it for one of my videos if thats ok? Anyways Still remains one of my favorite Videos. Your so inspiring brother. Thanks for posting and keep posting!

[Sadoos]

You mean that motion trace effect? There's no way Roachy will tell, he didn't not reveal th secret to anyone as far as I know xP

[AurumenK]

nice style good work.

[whitewolf88jonny]

is it just me or is there vapor trails there:S

[pablofallenjedi]

awesome work!!! great control over the power!

[BlueFrodo]

Incredible. Amazing, The Best,

[tankkan]

roachy...you been watching too much war hammer/bruce lee mate!ha. just kidding, good stuff mate!

[TPRoach]

tank buddy! not like u ta waste time on the net.. u should be down the gym pumpin those guns!! u fag :) haha

[torstend68]

geil,geil !

[SwordAndBuckler]

Fun to watch. The after-image effect was cool. Not very practical but I guess that wasn't the point. 5/5

[gero2nd]

Nice garden.

[axonian]

so sick dude so sick! the flows are in a zone of their own creative power! i really love it

[Skullavin]

what rammstein song is this?

[xklibur1]

What's the song name??

[TPRoach]

it's 'weilder wein'. (spelling might be wrong)

[Kaanchen]

i think it's "wilder wein"

[Darkwingedfae]

Good video, good control, good song.

Good work.

[DeathRuler1994]

dude your better than me :)

[fireaminal]

lookin good as always dude:)

big respect to you.

p.s. i just got 2 new fireswords, i will have a few new vids shortly;)

[axonian]

amazing style dude-! simply amazing

[LightDragonLee]

Ohhh, a korean blade? I'd love to know how much heavyer it is then a japanese katana. =O

[NXFURY1]

RAMMSTEIN!!!

[ThatAsnNinja]

i didn't like the song but your very good. That looked like a very heavy sword too and you managed to flip it around and such your great!

[0Frank00]

Where have you learned this stuff? It's awesome, and I's interested in it.

[lake7less]

stop giving the thumb down to otero81,: any message that ends in "much honor" should be taken into consideration... really now, just post an opposing message if you will. it's just an opinion, and it IS expressed in a civilized way.

[TheLegoLord1014]

How much does your sword weigh? I'm currently practicing with a 2lbs 3.3 ft length piece of bamboo stick. I should post a vid up if I get the chance. Rage doesn't work for me, I tried it before but you get to tense in every sense and lose dynamism in the process. There's a way to focus deep into your movements where you don't even realize you're moving anymore, but the sword and you are just in the highest natural state of expressive combat.

[cloudyboy]

how do u give that effect to the video to make it trail when u move? thats badass

[decimus6]

i think its easy to critic and we never your vid!

[OTERO81]

Hell yeah. Kenjutsu is one of the most sacred styles to study but ur not very far from it. Is the samurai blade the only weapon u train with?

[lake7less]

good vid . you scared the dog lol

[axonian]

i disagree with the poster bellow- they are not flashy moves-they look great to the eye thats for sure-but what is observed is your ability of mind and how you create with it- its deep and thoughtfull! i have long ways to go in my own explorations!

[OTERO81]

Roach! ur great but those flashy moves can only go so far. no disrespect but u need to show more vids of u and ur friends sparring with eachother. Much honor.

[axonian]

you are amazing brother- man its been almost half a year sense i have filmed somthing personal and expressive- i will soon- watching this vid really shows how expressive you are with the sword and your mind-love it man

[mrburns310]

dude, you are awesome. I'm training for a movie right now and it's inspiring to see people and their creativity. youtube is the best.

[Dizzimitz]

Always shocks me how he keeps his hands on the handle at that speed. BTW does anyone know heavy that saber actually is?

[spammert]

Another great movie :)

The editing is kinda distubring :\

[Sadoos]

That's what i needed lol, as always nice :)

[mickeymouse59]

awesome like always. just keep up the good work your amazing

[cindilas1]

nice dude awesome vid i still like crazy samurai better lol nice vid ur puppy is awesome lol

[Kenzan3000]

I rather enjoyed the video effects, and the scenery. Good Job! The dog at the end was funny as well! My only small criticism would be the costumes. A bit mismatched for my tastes.

~Cheers!

[nyarlethotep]

Beautiful and powerful, as always Roach. Great choice of music, too.

[decimus6]

the sword seems to apart to yout arm. So beautiful vid. i Love it!

[Maniac742]

Why the sudden change to Muy Thai in the middle of all the blade work? Just curious. Still an awesome vid though.

[Shindai]

Another work of art from the one they call Roach :) You put Steve Crowther to shame at his own game :)

[lovs2spoge]

as any one thats seen your vids, iknow your great with a sword. but what about other weps?

like axes , chain whips, or even double handing a pair of hand and a half swords.

but no matter what its great seeing new vidoes.

p.s. do you spar with any one ?

[Maniac742]

Good looking form, but you need to stop recycling that shadow effect you use in every video.

[foxfire122]

as always roach nicely done. i have been training and getting better so expect to see a vid from me soon.

[Ancurio]

Wow Roach that was excellent again, I really like your performance and style, and the Video was really good for only 10min.

Keep up the good work! And I hope your anger will vanish soon ;)

[nutjob54]

wow. ur good. i would like to vrs u sometime.

[cheese642]

sweet i always like your videos so few people who are actually good post videos. my friend zach is using me and my friend jeff to make a short sword fight thing some tiem this week i'll post it up on here when its finished check it out tell me what you think.

[Crimsonblade80]

Dunno what you were raging about, but it shows! You can actually see a difference in your movements...less fluid, more power. Interesting...you hesitate a bit at certian times too. Good show, bro! well made!

[AngelusObscurum010]

Hey, new vid!!! lol

Very nicely edited, the effects really reflect how angry you must've been that day...the smudges blur your movements, which is lush

The song's some live rammstein...a good choice, I must admit. Compliments the vid rather well.

And trying to maintain control under rage in something that is immensly difficult. I hope that you have not lost yourself to your rage yet....

Pheonix

[lil2kool]

you threw the sword via ur legs... man u gotta teach me man

[LilyHithSilme]

Great job. To be honest, I don't much care for the song, but great job with the swords and the movie editing.

[Razornoose]

once again, amasing work. well done

vincent

[0Suld]

very nice, but do u use sometimes staff/jo? ive seen it only in 1 or 2 your movies

[Maxie1113]

Good job but why with Heavy Ghosting effect?

[TPRoach]

filmed and edited this in about 10 minutes when i was having a bad day :( smudged myself in annoyance. Didnt post this for ages, got all angry with everything swordwise.

[seph351]

Looking great as always. Your form is always really solid in your vids.

[LordEikasia]

Great video, your movement show good skill and confidence. One question, what make is that sword? Hanwei?
