Instructions weren't clear, accidentally became the Senate

I like how lightsabers are treated and seen as a real weapon, with forms and academys. The influence that Star Wars has made on the world is amazing.

Some tips while preforming Shii-Cho, This form uses wide fluent attacks, similar to Ataru, try to stay as calm as possible while using it. The wide strikes can leave you open, always try to guide your blade into a defensive motion after an attack, similar to Soresu. Although this form is normally one of the first many learn, when mastered, it can be formidable against any opponent.

Form 1 is like Checkers. Simple to learn, but difficult to master. We see how someone who's inexperienced like Rey can use Form 1 to great effect, while a master of The Force like Kit Fisto can still kick ass with it.

Iv been practicing shii-cho for a little over a month now and your vid has been very helpful. Thank you for the lesson man.

I'm no martial arts expert but Shii-cho appears to have a somewhat Kendo-style to it. Simple and minimalist with an emphasis on down-slashes and forward thrusts.

[Pyojjang]

The basic stand and forward step, the thrust and step, and the one step cut is literally kendo (the rest seems familiar but I quit a couple years ago so I don't remember)

[brianjohnson]

I see the IRL influence. It's a mix of kendo and the "posta del a falcone". I also see it strength of simplicity and the simplicity of it's strength.
