    Watch my video and rip me a new one!

    Ok, looks like we all need something new to talk about so here's a video of me doing our beginner staff form.

    Me and a guy from class have decided to document all of our forms on video so there will be more coming.

    I thought it was going to be you throwing footballs past the camera...

    Good stuff though...I saw some similarities between that and a staff form that I know...what is it called? And that's beginner stuff? It looked pretty challenging...

    Lol @ teh baldspot.

    The form looked great, though. Hella long. Longer than Tokumine no Kun.

    OK since someone else said something, Fox you are a stud otherwise, but just shave it all off...

    nice form. what song is that?
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    Cheif, great job! You earned my respect by putting yourself out there. I have nothing bad to say about your form!

    Hey thanks guys.

    Tekarius: Not sure on the origins of the form. At my school we study Long Fist, Praying Mantis and a few other bits and pieces from other styles as well. I try to focus on Praying Mantis.

    cjurakpt: That was the first weapon form that I learned. I've been doing it for about 3 years.

    Kristoffer: That song is "WIPEOUT" by the Safaris, 1963. It still rocks.

    That's funny. It's a Quicktime .mov file. I made it with IMovie on my Mac.

    Hey CF!

    In BSL (Bei Shao Lin or Bak Siu Lam) that set is called "King of Nine Province".

    Good job putting it up for public scrutiny!

    The form itself was nicely done.

    In my not so humble opinion you need to work on your spirit and intensity. You have the moves now lets give it some feirce intent!

    Cool for posting it. Keep them coming.

    Hey thanks again guys.

    SaekSan: Thanks for the info on the form. We pretty much just call it our first staff form. Actually it's the only staff form I know.

    Mortal1: You're right. My friend and I are really just documenting the forms at this point in time so it's supposed to be a technical representation. But fierce intent (my sifu calls it "martial intent") is very much a part of the form too. That is something I need to have more of in all of my forms. Thanks for the input. With out the martial intent it would just be a dance with a stick.
