Well..here it goes.

ALIBIS:

The video: Off of a cheap 2.1MP HP camera. Ran out of memory about 6 moves short of completing the form. My short attention span 12 y.o. was holding the camera hence the "monkey cam". I ran it through a batch converter to MPEG explaining the little logo at the bottom (at least it was freeware).

Me: Im doing my best here with a Balintawak (Bobby T's) "shadow fighting form". I am hopefully a little more polished at it now, there are little "gaps" where you can tell Im trying to remember the next piece. Sacrificed some form for speed here and am a little "tight".

And lay off the complexion. I work midnights ya know!

I enjoyed that very much and to me the form looked good. But that's just me . I was fortunate enough to be able to see the clip on here. I haven't been able to see some other videos. The only other one was Swordlady's cutting test clip. So anytime I can get this unit to show videos, Im happy. Continued success sir. Looks like this Members in Motion section is going to be a keeper.....Steve

Man, just when I think I'm starting to get a grip on defense techniques against a club I watch these clips of you and Bob and have to really start to re-think exactly what I'm doing. Against an opponent who was just swinging a pool cue or tire iron like an idiot because he was, well, an idiot I'd do alright but against someone with training like the two of you? Back to the drawing board for me. :rolleyes:

Nice job to both you and monkey cam.

But given that he is 12 I think his part was harder to do; because you made that look easy. Remind me that If we ever get into a bar fight and your on my side to give you the stick and if your not on my side not only keep the stick but also run like the wind.

Run forest run...

Tom, thanks for sharing that! That's a pretty groovy form, I dig a'plenty. Unfortunately, my quicktime is non-perfect working, so I was only able to watch you run through it once, then quicktime won't let me play through again. Probably something to do with an overload of whiteness. :p

Seriously, it was great, and I look forward to further contributions from you and the rest of the membership. Thanks again. :asian:

Ya know Ive seriously thought about hitting one of those "Total Tan" joints during my lunch break. A few are open 24hrs. But Im afraid of falling asleep on one of the beds while everybody is calling me as the Dillenger Gang goes on a crime spree through town. :)

I recognise many of the moves from a short staff form I learned. I don't do any of them nearly as fast. Whoosh! Nice speed.
