Sword Trick Training

[Cognatusinfinitum]

Not into showmanship but goddamn... That was some good shit. Do you study anything?

[DariusFisback]

Cool man you should def do a tutorial one of theses days

[CommanderXevon]

3:20 Very cool, especially for those like me who've tried it and failed ^^

[CommanderXevon]

3:18. Very cool, especially for those who've actually tried it and failed like myself XP

[mdogrnc420]

im just wondering how long have you been practising this for

[JACKJANJO]

what's your technics to rotate your swords as fast as in the video?

[spammert]

Cool editing on those vids of your Roach :)

But please watchout with that swords(I know your training for so long at al).....

Just wanted to say, keep up the good work my friend :)

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Man, I wish this was actually useful in combat. It looks totally rad though. I've done stunting with dual swords and it just doesn't work unless its used with simplicity. But then it doesn't look cool so I always end up disappointed.

[axonian]

sick moves!!!!!!!! smooth as ever

[hindenwolf]

veery good vids TPRoach !

[TPRoach]

thank you henrobrice, yeah most of my film edits have been taken down from copyright warnings

[AgileFan0]

Keep the dragon, make it signature, totally cool. You had some nice transitions with your swings at 4:22 when you whip it back around, ready to cut again. I like doing quick moves like that. Its like momentum does the move for you & your just directing it's path. Great video! It was put together really well man! Keep pioneering your art!

It's always impressive to see you continue to grow. I need to advance my skills to keep from going stagnant.

[mahydraal]

by the way is that a new katana? or have you had it?

[TPRoach]

nah no new katanas, just some i hadn't used on film before, very sharp ones ;-/

[mahydraal]

quick question what exactly is mma? and was that a mother of pearl series katana by any chance?

[tometh1]

could someone tell name of this music?

[TPRoach]

@tometh1 -- It's by Patrick Wolf, song - Teignmouth. There's a great live version on youtube if you type in 'patrick wolf teignmouth live'

[Wyky]

Wow man, your swords skills doesn't stop to amaze me, you're always getting better that's cool.

[lordtains]

Looks like you're up for the new vid? Shall we make it in May?

[TPRoach]

Yeah, but June is when i'm next properly free. I planning a lot for this summer :)

[lordtains]

I'm so busy with everything it's not even funny :(

But it beats having nothing to do I guess

[loudassasin]

Do you follow bushido?

cheers!

[TPRoach]

Bushido. As best as i can. I perfer the western term of chivalry. But its the same thing. Conducting yourself honourably.

[loudassasin]

You my friend are as fluid as they come. Inspiration at the least. Your locomotion seems inspired by so many of the greats. I'm loving every minute of this!! 6/5! :D

[SalvatorQuaro]

This was really great!

[guitarplaya1234]

Hey TPR what martial arts have you taken?? Or did you just specifically learn sword form? I have a weapons status blackbelt(3rd degree) under RWTB or James Rosenbach. And I know Sword, Cane, Strap, and Knife. I'm very curious on what you know =)

[TPRoach]

nice man. I'm into Iaido and wushu forms at the moment. Most of what you'll see in my older video are from ninjutsu, xma and mma. I think i want to concentrate on kenjutsu and jujutsu as i get older. Would like to get qualified to instruct one of them one day. Martial arts are very liberating.

[guitarplaya1234]

@TPRoach yeah mma is really fun =) and its not hard to get certified to instruct. in most schools if you have your blackbelt you can instruct. At RWTB i instruct JuJitsu and the regular mma classes. but stick with it you can go far, I can tell you have much potential! =)

[expeon]

dual sword throw & catch -- too awesome

[KamokuHyuuga]

VERY awesome video, dude.

[BigMilan]

[GuardianArt]

Gorgeous man!!! sick ass flows! Would love to train with you one day!

[Silkro12]

Wow! Absolutely impressive sword / dual sword style and video editing!! I really enjoyed watching it :D

[no66y666]

I don't know all the proper terms etc but I did think that was flippin' brilliant.

Such fluidity.

[axonian]

[miketalhoffer]

Impressively sick two swords handling!! You are really sharing your soul with those swords.
