This is now officially HSA’s favorite Makashi video. Excellent, classy, and informative video on the poking form.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun Fact: Form II (Makashi) was created because Christopher Lee, who played Count Dooku in the prequels, was an expert fencer, even in his 70s. However, he knew nothing about katanas, which lightsabers are based on. So they designed his lightsaber so that it could be handled like a rapier and created a lightsaber style based on fencing. When you think about it, Mr. Lee was a legit Jedi/Sith.
I can almost guarantee that this statement is incorrect. He fits the bill, but the books and lore are very old. Been around since the original trilogy.
@@joshsavage1491 wrong, its been countless times confirmed
That's why it looks like fencing...that makes sense.
the curved handle was decided on before they even cast Christopher Lee though
@@joshsavage1491 No you’re wrong, this is 100% true. Form II Makashi was created for Sir Christopher Lee because of his fencing background. That’s why the form is mostly used one handed unlike the other forms. However the curved hilt was already designed beforehand.
i think i just hit gold with lightsaber tutorial videos
Yo era un practicante de makashi en mi juventud, y encontraba muy interesante incorporar elementos de verdadera y falsa destreza española al estilo, combinándolas con los pasos en semi circulo del kendo y aikido.Funcionaba muy bien .
Cheers.
Makashi was the form I got most often on a quiz for which form was best for me along with Soresu and Djem So. I've trained in saber style of fencing for the past couple years and quite like it. I also know some longsword as well. Your version seems to go more on the lines of rapier.
".. we're all friends here" doug is the best lol
It’s essentially epee fencing with a few cuts. Love it!
Well done! Great explanations.
now we just need to do it again for Shii-Cho the bar has been set ;D
Great video guys
i love the salute. it makes the duel or fight more civilised
I'd love a more in-depth video on Form II ☺️
It's very interesting because I hybridized form two and form five as one or I come in very strong and hard but without telegraphing anything and my defense is a counter without doing much movement and hitting it just one local spot namely the sword fighting arm to the neck or leg it's hard for me to explain because of my multiple martial arts that I've trained in which was Ken jutsu fencing and Krabi kobong
Wow. I actually think this would be one form I would use.
I miss this so much
we all do, keep strong!
I think I am perfect for Makashi, because I am a saber fencer and I am made for some fast accurate explosive attacks. The parries are also pretty much the same
"do you like retiles? from Space? :D ... and do you not like the Force vary much?" XD best reason to learn Makashi right here.
But really this was a great video!! I'm glad I found it :)
I love how they don't even convey a full understanding of why Makashi is named after an anti-force lizard, but they like the combat style anyways lol
I miss you guys, I'm glad it's still going strong after the... the two head folks left. I forget their names.
Where did you get those curved hilt sabers?? They look so cool!
Do you like lizards from space? 😂😂
I would love to get an Advanced Video. >.>
i have newbie question - can i mix diffrent fighitng styles if mine is diffrent dthan my friend ?
They usually use makashi/ataru [impressive styles], whilist i usually like the most djem so [im aggresive] with jar kai elements.
I wonder if there are some nice compatible ways to fight
Love this. Also, cool sabers! Banes by any chance? I have one myself. On the subject of sabers, what grade & length of blade would you recommend for Makashi? I personally find longer blades hard to wield 1 handed, though of course I know I need to practice more.
Also, I'm in the UK, so can I follow your Makashi syllabus online?
My reason for focusing on Makashi, age (nearly 50), limited strength, LOVING Count Dooku, & of course, SPACE LIZARDS that neutralise their opponent's advantages.
I recommend at least 30 inches. I found that any longer things get difficult due to the weight of the blade. I use 28” to practice so my wrist doesn’t get tired
I really want to go all out in this style while dueling but I’m struggling to find a durable curved hilt blade that isn’t $700. Is there anything you guys can recommend that will hold up in a duel, but won’t break the bank?
I have form 6 my sister form 3 please do that
What hilts were you using?
Can someone tell me where to buy those curved lightsaber and I mean solids ones
Makashi does not lack strength, if you were a jedi you could use your other hand to perform a force push to counter particularly devastating attacks, or , use your hand to grab an object and hurl it against your enemy, or , use sand or dust and put them in your enemy's face to blind them you get the idea.
Makashi is basically the fencing form of lightsaber combat.
wow lighsaber is a fencing sport now
The reason I enjoy Makashi may surprise you...
Dooku literally never fought like this
"On the next episode" *ceases to exist*
Yes Covid did a number, but another Video is Still in the cards
I'm sensing that having some sarcasm is required to practice makashi... Lol
This just looks like fencing with color sticks…..
By fencing of course you mean olympic fencing and by olympic fencing basically just means electronic tag.
If this is how they want to do it then fine but there's a whole world of single handed sword methods that perfectly fit Makashi's described intricacy.
And? Its still pretty cool
Makashi is based on European fencing. Unlike the other forms which are based on east Asian fencing.
@@vetarlittorf1807to be more particular it's based off of Calvary sword exercise
