[xXEMOKILLASXx]

[omnifur]

[bvelasquez1331]

ur mother is a cros off by sucking my dick

[bmxchikita7]

Can u still do these moves with just a regular straight sword? Very nice vid

[hopegirl36]

I have a wooden kantana and I have been practicing with that

[Tabygrl]

where do you get those lightsabers?  Or do you make them??? I dont like the bulky models that you see everywhere.

[BigRig784]

Hey u should show attacks and stuff like that even if u showed a few on this video good job :)

[adamin123]

to complicated

xd

[Morganfrench01]

You should get some fire swords. You already have alot of the moves down so it'll be easy as.

[bhsmalecolorguard]

Aww come on! I'm looking for real color guard saber spinning and tossing. Not whatever this is

[misspurplesnowflake]

i can't DO IT! WAAAAA!

[windy405]

you're a pro, since i was like 9 ive been doing this, self taught, now im watching your vids so i can improve! thanks

[JJwalkers12]

Spinning is the best larp intimidation tactic. lol

[TheVindicator2009]

Dam, u good boy, i have a fatass old lightsabre, so it doesnt work as well, thx tho

[spyergirl4]

how the flip do you do that at 3:02?!?!?! ive been trying to for so long. cant you do it a bit slower? not all of us are as good as you.

[ShadeValryn]

i might delete these old tutorials and plan it out a bit better n film new ones. we'll see.

[bodygank]

@ShadeValryn No need ot delete them just add the new ones as well, I for one really got something out of this.

Keep up the good work

[123elmagno123]

what kind of saber are you using?

[DewbackRider88]

Thats a PVC hilt isnt it? I tried to do this with me MR metal FX sabers and its impossible, those things are was too heavy to move that fast

[ShadeValryn]

It's actually compressed aluminum. The saber is thin and light and moves great. I agree that some MRs are hard to move, but I think the best sabers are the Luke ROTJ and the Obi-Wan ROTS

[nesarahmed2003]

Thanks a lot man. Great video. You're a great teacher.

[pokemonrox1000]

icant get it right!

[Black83Angel]

good tutorial, not so hard to twirl a saber after all.

[1ittle007]

is hard to spin if i use darth vader, you are good

[tHrEeDaYsGrAcE88]

Ugh, I can't see what that "crossover" thing is.

[Bayor25]

Whoa u r like so freakin good and cool!!how i wish i can spin like u!!than i can kick my bros ass!!love tis vid!!

[ShadeValryn]

thank you! it means a lot to hear that truly, i'm not that good with words sometimes when speaking ;)

[were35]

Little georgie should create a star wars episode 7 and you should be in it.

[ShadeValryn]

heha! i wish, but i have a wayyys to go before i'm a good enough actor, i'll just stick to high school acting for now ;) but thanks!

[greytale]

Nice job as always Shade... now some of these spins are REALLY cool. I can't do any of that! Good work!

[ShadeValryn]

wow, you truly are too kind greytale. it means a lot to hear that from someone i look up to around here.

[greytale]

No problem--but really, it is all about the WORK. Anyone who puts actual effort, dedication, time & WORK into [insert subject/hobby/skill here]... they are going to do well.

So... don't underestimate the skills you've built! If you think about it--it makes sense. You have spent a lot of work on spins, transitions, flowing, wrist, etc. It shows, and pays off when you're able to help others, no matter what experience they have with OTHER skills or OTHER concepts.

[ShadeValryn]

Amen. Thank you so much for the wisdom, it will always be with me.

[tralin]

Great video :D, That saber seems to have a very thin hilt, I don't have big hands so that would help me, which one is it?

[ShadeValryn]

it's an UltraSaber MiniLord, go to ultrasabers dot com and you can order one ;)

[CommandoNateOwnage]

Hey Shade, me again, I still can't get that 360 strike. I'm not understanding the behind the back part or the bring the saber in instead of out. Could you try to explain this better to me in words or, if it's not that much trouble, a video? I'd really appreciate it!

[ShadeValryn]

i'll have a video just for that part hopefully by the end of the night for you ;)

[ShadeValryn]

it's up! check my newest video for the help you wanted! :)

[CommandoNateOwnage]

I don't know how to thank you!!! This is unbelieveable!!! I'm speechless that you would do that for me!!! I can't find the words to express my gratitude! Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!

[JediGuardianMaster]

The behind the back was also used by Obi-Wan against anakin just before they force pushed each other...

[BenBMASTER]

i downloaded your video and watched it for a hundred times!

I already impressed my entire school when i brought it with me!

[ShadeValryn]

WOAH! I didn't think you'd like it that much, i'm truly honored

[CommandoNateOwnage]

Hey Shade, you rock!!!!!!! You've helped me so much on my lightsaber skills that I look like a pro to my friends. I'm still trying to get the 360 strike right. That one's pretty hard, but it's my favorite move ever! Anakin uses that in Episode III. I would've given you comments earlier, but i just got signed up. Anyway, you are awesome and thanks for your help!!!

[ShadeValryn]

Hehehah, great! It makes me so happy to hear that you've made such progress. It only takes a few spins to look like a pro eh? Oh, and by the way, that one handed 360 strike is one of my favorites too, it's so badass XD

[megatrends]

Awesome!!!!! Thanks for the tips.

I have trouble being fluid with my wrists mainly because i am 6 foot 4 inches tall and am 250 FIT pounds. I am naturally lethargic and have used more of a traditional two hand style from the first films.

I'll keep practicing but feel like i may have to develop my own style of wielding borrowing some of your stuff you are showing and mixing it with what makes comfortable.

Good stuff in any case.

[ShadeValryn]

No problem, I love making these vids, I just want to help ;) I'm about 200 pounds myself, but I can't imagine how hard it must be with your strong build. I really hope you develop that personal style and approach. Always remember, it's all truly about balance!
