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!!!!!!!
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.
