What combat forms are the fighters using?

[greytale]

@SaturnineXTS Staged combat.

This must of taken an insane amount of rehearsing to pull this off in front of a live crowd. This and the rest of the parts are very well done!

[greytale]

@SirusDiarota Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Yup... it took a good amount of rehearsal for myself & the cast to get everything as perfect as we could (and there were STILL issues)... but, this was also 2006, and duel-worthy LED sabers were actually very very new at that moment in time. Believe it or not.

At the present time, I'm pretty certain I could "put to shame" both BOP I (this video) and BOP II... but--I'll need a cast to do so! :)

@dallasfanb Visit places such as Ultrasabers if you wish to just buy one... or to make your own, more information & tools are at TheCustomSaberShop. :)

Awesome, simply awesome.

Thanks for the invite and comments on my vid.

This was very well orchestrated and rehearsed.

This would be wonderful to see in green screen with different camera angles and screen shots. With this much work, a video production is merited. Bravo to all who participated.

@whiteseed5 hahahah, good comment!!! :)

Believe me... NO one wants me to make more of these... uh... more than *ME*.

Only question is... can I get together / put together a complete, competent, capable team... one that won't let me down... one that will see the entire project through to the end...

Apparently (since 2008!!)... this has been an extremely tall order!  At least... here in my area of Cali...
