Hey Everyone! Thanks for watching! Hope you liked this one. Can't wait to see your version of it. Remember to tag me in your posts so I can see it.

[@SavedSnake]

Pretty bad azz yo...ive been training with a sword for 8 years now...my style is not as flashy as yours ...but its more of a multidirectional close quarters combat style....hmmm....tbh...I looked up what styles my real life style is mostly like... in the star wars movies...my style is mostly like yoda & darth maul...honestly I though that was pretty koo.

[@reversenova]

I know it takes weeks, months, and possibly years to be really good at this and your awesome but christa who was your inspiration?

[@alexkistoychev2199]

╚═══►YOU THE BEST !!! COOL TOTURIAL !!!

[@jonsunderland8420]

Great demo

[@reversenova]

I hope Disney wakes up and realizes what a treasure you are to us and Star Wars and uses expanded universe material I don't know if I've said this but you are a perfect mara jade!

[@tommyg2660]

Am I the only one that would love to see Michelle vs Ray Park in a Star Wars movie?

[@morrismorrisson6161]

They do the mocap for the new Clone Wars

[@reliant1701]

Forget Duel of the Fates, or ObiAni, even Ahsoka v Maul. THAT would be the fight I'd pay to see

[@patricklacey4946]

@@morrismorrisson6161 I think they went with Lauren Mary Kim, who did excellent, but I still want to her in the Star Wars universe

[@lizarddude7730]

No ur not the only one

[@dmacbass]

That was my first thought when I first saw her!

[@TrueCinblade]

Disney should've hired you to teach the actors how to use a lightsaber.

[@dropkickcorpse]

"Don't worry, we'll edit around it in post" - Director who will push the work on to the CGI team.

[@JelloFluoride]

Gonna have to agree with this

[@walter1977ww]

Naah... not needed.. Disney haven't a clue of what to do with starwars franchise..

[@paulcassady1283]

TrueCinblade if they did that they wouldnt be able to wreck the franchise as quickly, and i wouldnt have stopped watching them! lol

[@inspiraPaz]

Instead they hired her to do stunts on The Mandalorian. So maybe later we'll see her in jedi or better yet Sith robes in the future.

[@TheSurviver72]

'Professional Bad Ass' is an understatement. Your skills are on another level, Michelle. 👍👊👏

[@delvis7842]

I am a little in awe of how many people are trying to show how to do this, (who can actually do it) but admit they aren't teachers like Michelle. She is definitely the source to go to! Very professional!

[@Skylord-vj9ul]

Mara jade is part of legends and not apart of the new Disney Star Wars canon but I do agree that she should be in a new star wars movie like the old republic movies that were rumored.

[@TK-hl7cr]

Cough cough* Ahsoka Tano....

[@Fi_Sci_]

FirstRyan Murray was the Ahsoka vs Maul fight boring to you?

[@Silva-ek9hd]

Yearlonggiant He was talking about SW as in the films, not TCW. Chill out

[@Fi_Sci_]

Silva _in what way did my comment come off as Aggressive?_ I was just asking a question of if he found the Ahsoka vs Maul fight boring.

[@ventrilo0666]

The way she just flawlessly executes those sequences one right into another is amazing! Even Marka Ragnos would be proud.

[@mr69intrigue]

If i had to duel her and she started doing all of that, Id literally turn off my saber and walk away

[@juliepowell1043]

mr69intrigue probably not useful in a duel

[@DaForgottenGentleman]

Nah id jus do a dooku... No flips n twirls necessary... Just great saber skill and great anticipation!... But u right tho!... Jus walk away!... Lol

Michelle, you're so freakin cool.

[@Amir-tg8ry]

Hey Michelle, you should audition to be in Star Wars Theory’s Vader fan film episode 2. He is looking for skilled people like you to play a Jedi . You should be in it. You would be great👍

[@dalethehumble8292]

Amir, she would play a perfect jedi. I wonder if she knows who Star Wars theory is though.😬

[@angelb4373]

I totally agree. She needs to be in it send her the link.

He’s making a Vader fan film? Or has it already been released since this video came out?

Love it and I appreciate so much how well you always break everything down. Of all the flow tutorials for any implement ever, yours are the absolute best for me. You are a born teacher and badass. Thank you for putting in all the hard work and putting it out there for us! I appreciate you!

[@azaelpittamiglio4202]

You are the best, star wars saga need people like you for real.

[@AV8R_Surge]

Although I'd probably lose teeth trying these cool moves, it's fun to watch (and dream)

[@shauryajindal2180]

Eagerly waiting for it, thanks alot for making these videos for us and making us also feel badass, u are the best my favourite❤❤

[@Hue_Nery]

Great teaching. Well explained and demonstrated

2:18 “If you can play it slowly you can play it quickly” Only TwoSetViolin fans get this

[@jimmac4131]

PHOENIX SNOW was looking to see if anyone commented on that 😂😂 glad someone beat me to it

[@tabithamartin4092]

Best thing, the MOST educational bit, was the bit of time at 5:30 where you showed a continuous spin in slow motion through several repetitions. I FINALLY got to actually SEE what you were doing. Having suffered 13 concussions in my life (about half from CQC), I can't "track" very well. I can't see fine detail in anything that is moving fast, can't even play music anymore cause I can't read it as fast as i have to play it. I CAN "lead" a target just fine, and am actually good at that, bit that isent the same as tracking a target. I have been trying for YEARS to understand how that obi/anni thing worked. Thank you. :)

[@monkeybusiness673]

The slow-mo shot with the flapping jacket adds a whole new level of badassery...Love to see it!

[@Ak-qv7hj]

Woooow... you are amazing ❤ You should play in SW main role !

[@DredgenFenrir]

My reminder has been set! Also, the 1 person who disliked the video is a Reylo fan.

[@emmawhycantmyuserjustbeemm8278]

RagingMutant what’s a reylo fan and why are they bad?

[@xrstevenson]

@@emmawhycantmyuserjustbeemm8278 Reylo Fans are people that Ship Rey and Kylo Ren even tho through the whole trilogy they've been trying to kill each other. Reylo fans have also been attacking actors in real life as well as attacking their families. Basically Reylo fans are like Joker-Harley fans that think they're the best form a relationship.... even tho it is literal abuse

[@emmawhycantmyuserjustbeemm8278]

Citrusbird386 oh well I like Ben and Rey together but I don’t attack people family I think there cute together but I don’t hurt anyone or think it’s the best and your right Rey is mean to Ben she is to op and is mentally provoking him and he is just confused because he is in love for the first time

[@kleberfernandesfelix]

Simplesmente espetacular!!! Parabéns pelo treinamento!!!!

[@IntegralEarthling]

I love the way you break all of the background moves down so that when you get quicker at them the real move comes out all by itself. Amazing! Much Love

Michelle you’re freaking amazing! Now that the Skywalker Saga is over I need them to hire you for every show, movie, etc for the new work they’re doing on the High Republic! Beyond Fluid and Graceful. Making every Jedi look like chumps 😎!

[@DToneQuest]

I am thinking of joining a lightsaber competition club, recommendations for a good general starter lightsaber (i have done fencing and hema in the past)

[@JelloFluoride]

Get a basic Saber with just light, and a tsuba so that it will stop the blade from sliding all the way down yours and just hitting you/ scuffing up your Saber. Also, you'll need a heavy grade, thick walled 36" blade. I've seen many sabers break in duels at The Saber legion so function over form. Don't want to spend a ton of money to break your Saber. Hope I helped you out a bit. :)

[@DToneQuest]

@@JelloFluoride thanks for the input!

[@BravoBassin]

I sure hope Disney contacts you to be a Jedi or sith for one of the future movies or spin off's or something because you are a total bad as with a light saber! you and Ray park!!

Ah finally, someone who's more familiar with(as you put it), spinning staffs than me! I am not that great at dual wielding for one. I've mostly only spun around with 1 stick as a hobby of sorts, and invented a lot of personal moves and stances. I once had a recording of it that I was a tad proud of, which detailed each move/stance and their theoretical use. Their main use was to trick the hypothetical opponent, to land unexpected blow - Or a chain of blows with an unexpected twist.

[@user-eg2co2qm7j]

great video!!!!epicc skills well done
