  • What are the singlesticks made with in this case? I'm used to using japanese Shinai to make them, but these sound more solid.

  • @aspengrey Hi ther. The sticks are made from rattan jo-staffs cut down to the right length (40 inches in this case). The guards are the leather ones made by Purple Heart Armoury.

  • Singlestick. Totally better than Kendo and Fencing. None of that Japanese and French rubbish. All English.

  • You know where to find me. Bring it on. : )

  • You guys have fair points - My footwork was really shit back then, which affected my balance. As for being outmatched, I find that I improved from fighting people who were better than me.

    TJ, we need to have a rematch.

  • I merely meant that she was out-matched here and there is not much instruction going on, so I failed to see the point in the exercise. It would be cool to see the improvement whenever you've another video.

  • A quick word in Jack's defense here, yes at the time (this video is quite old) she wasn't hugely experienced, and I had had more practice than her (although I certainly wasn't teasing her. Those hits were solid when they landed!), but things have changed since then. I've not done much fencing, and she has. A repeat performance of this might well see me receiving a sound thrashing.

  • He's obviously far more practised than she. Perhaps he was just teasing her or something. She has no footwork or form, so naturally her entire structure is unsound.

  • The girl has no conviction and seems kind of unbalanced. The guy on the other hand has very strong form.

  • YEAH, hit me with a stick when I ain't lookin, then run off, I think you should be named Jacktherabbit (LOL), where's my pistol...........

    Don't make me come after you..........

    ROFL!!!!!!!
