Terrific clip, good job. Nice adaptation when things didn't go exactly as planned.

It's not the training...I slept in a Holiday Inn Express the night before the demo ;)

We started slow...I think the first two stick strikes were quite leisurely. It kinda blew up after that. We kept TRYING to slow down. That didn't work out so well. The worst part was, right after that, we had to go to our regular training. Five minutes constantly at that pace got me a wee bit winded.

It was fun, and I'd definitely do it again.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Yup. I got a little winded just watching the clip :) You guys were moving a pretty aerobic pace - at least by my out-of-shape standards.

Andy pulling a second knife on me was a bit of a surprise. My problem was refusing to continue the drills Andy started :) Hey, sometimes I like 3-count, and sometimes I like 5-count.

And then he took my stick away.

We could have done what some people do and stayed stationary with no footwork. I'm sure the camera guy would have appreciated that. But hell, we'd fall asleep doing that, and most of the stuff would not work or look right with no proper footwork.

Great demo. They actually gave you guys a decent amount of time on air. It's always great to seem the FMAs being promoted.
