[@JacketCK]

remember, this form was made just because Sir Cristopher Lee was proficient in Fencing and thought it was a good idea to implement it in his character

[@joedirt861]

Elegant is as elegant do.

[@kevinmorrice]

i feel makashi is a beautiful form for choreographing, its elegant and graceful, yet deadly accurate

[@ColeTheGreyGhostJedi]

I love Makashi, so elegant and easy to learn.

[@riangunnoe563]

This is the best lightsaber form for realism, as it is all based off of real footwork and guards/parries in fencing and HEMA. You guys did an amazing job, great work!

[@bullet_outsmarter_5000]

Count dooku is *easily* my favorite character in star wars! And I'm so happy to find a tutorial on form II

[@reddragon_2002]

My too!

[@reddragon_2002]

Thanks to Sir Christopher Lee for creating a whole style of fencing in Star Wars, and thanks to him for insisting on making a curved handle - it turned out to be really the most beautiful and elegant! And also thank him for giving us Count Dooku, giving him charisma, significance and, most importantly, a soul.

[@Imdippinout]

How would you feel about adding lunging attacks into your choreography? Seeing as this whole stance was based on actual European fencing techniques, I think they would fit in fairly well. Plus with force powers and clever video editing, some really cool exchanges could be set up with lunges.

HEY!!! I remember mentioning this to you guys a while ago and here it is!! Thankyou dude!! Also dude, I'd love to see if you could do a video explaining vaapad in some form, either way you guys are the best

[@GrayPaladin]

I really like these tutorials. Very well done and helpful. Thank you!

[@quantumtag1222]

It seems I practiced Makashi without knowing what it was, I just practiced minimal, simplistic however elegant blade work that didn’t focus much on brute force.

[@megavictor025]

I do somthig similar but whit djem so, i thik thats the natural form of duelung of someone depending of his behavior

[@Julez806]

Looks good! So I have something to train in this damn lockdown :D Thanks man!

[@kinglionheart450]

Being offensive and because I own the curved lightsaber.This is the perfect form for me.I have mastered this to the Ful list of the point where I don't even have to move much muscles.Just account for somebody and strike them.I can literally do this till I'm old.I can see why christopher lee was able to keep fencing all the way until he was in his eighties

[@erikhagler3500]

I love the dynamic techniques of the Prequel Trilogy Lightsaber Combat. Definitely see elements of Spanish and French Fencing along with Filipino Kali techniques. DEFINITELY my favorite of the styles. Well done, guys!

You said the first, does it mean is going to be a part 2? Also will you be doing this for every form of lightsaber combat? That would be cool. Video was good as always

i wish i could afford one of those sabers that a durable enough to fight with, i have this darth vader one but the plastic is not strong enough the tip is already broken. got it when ep 1 came out.... for some reason they released all the classic sabers too haha. great vis keep up the good work.

Count Dooku is my favorite character of all Star Wars and now that o have enough age to play with a colored stretchable plastic stick without falling off my hand I can finally learn Dooku’s elengant form of lightsaber combat: Makashi or also known as form 2.

[@William_Does_Coasters2255]

So ancient, elegant and simple ❤

[@tonyc.0451]

Hello there. I occasionally practice sword techniques and I'm more comfortable with one-handed sword combat at the moment. Thanks for making this tutorial quick and simple.

[@FailedPancake]

YUS SABRE FENCING IN SABER FIGHTING. WHAT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

[@FailedPancake]

Also more like epee, but you have a sabre

[@certinho76]

Dooku was a baller. He took on two of the Jedi Order's best in Anakin and Obi-Wan multiple times. Took on Yoda and was the Master of Qui-Gon Jinn. Possibly one of the top 5 Jedi ever before his fall to the Darkside. He saw the writing on the wall with the corruption of the Jedi and how they became weak and arrogant. Dooku was a gentleman, refined, eloquent, a political idealist, a servant of the Force not the corrupt Senate and their petty politics.

[@theromanorder]

Note to self: in basic stance just hold with both hands for stronger attacks and more solid defense well using the precise swing strikes and THRUSTS. As you block and move oponits blade when opening strike to cripple your enemy

The best thing about it is that you can swing it around like crazy (don't do this in actual fencing, they will just parry riposte, speaking of which, why do we never parry riposte in star wars fights???)

[@happyvalleybooksandstories22A]

@Mikestarwalker Do you have a video on the Techniques Anakin used during the Episode 2-3 era? Also, I am going to write my versions of Star Wars Capture The Flag. Not sure if you have played Capture The Flag before but it is fun. We have done a basic Star Wars Capture the Flag in my family before you should try it.

[@datyeen]

Question; at 3:39 you guys do this huge arcing overhead 'parry'. Wouldnt that just leave you open to being quickly gutted across the ribs from the other side? Especially the very open, awkward stance you assume after the parry; bent over, sword way out to the side.

[@lutzsamans6921]

This is really sabre fencing as i practice for competetition

[@kevinmencer3782]

Count Dooku used a curved hilt in the movies. Would that actually be beneficial when using this technique?

[@trollunderbridge2292]

That's the lore reason he did it. The IRL reason is because Sir Christopher Lee wanted it like that.

Skykiller and Starwalker... Something hits different. Or should I say “strike?”

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Very nice. I'm a big fan of the Makashi form. The issue I tend to have is I fing longer blades hard to control 1-handed. Any tips on drills to improve that, or equipment choices to facilitate it?

[@joedirt861]

A typical European saber had a blade of 32 inches or less, and a crossguard to help balance the weight. In addition to being thinner than most light sabers, which helps with grip. You need to build forearm strength. How do we do this? Moulenets. Schola gladitoria has some old videos that give good examples. You need to build up the wrists and forearms. If I remember or am reminded I'll link them.

[@antoinepichon1426]

[@KwickieKwickie]

Please do form 3 my favorite!!!

[@TheShadow14150]

Form II: the form was invented to defeat other opponents with lightsabers, henceforth its common to salute the opponent before engaging in a duel. The key is doing as much as possible whilst moving as little as possible. This form is best summarized by count dooku (as we all know)!

[@Welther47]

4:00 this doesn't make much sense. There is a gigantic opening. Blue removes the blade as a threat and yellow just takes the saber down. Basically, Blue is removing his defence in stabbing range.

[@supremeroyalprime5606]

What Lightsaber product do you guys use for these videos? I don't want to buy a lightsaber that will break while dueling lol.

[@fusionclean]

An elegant, noble , Gentleman style

[@stratdx]

Hi! Can you please offer som insight as to the equipment (sabers) you are using? Thank you!

[@PenneySounds]

Doesn't make sense, because Dooku never uses these types of movements.

[@oldcaptainjack]

I don't know a huge amount about fencing but why are there no/hardly any attempts to thrust with the sabers (only cut) if this is based on fencing? Is it something to do with perhaps making yourself too vulnerable to a counter if it fails, so it's maybe not worth the risk?

[@CarterBartram]

Don't hold your hand behind your back. It tightens your shoulder and makes it harder to balance. Just keep in a neutral position and somewhat out of the way.

[@eriksutliff866]

I know this is like two years late but if I was a force user ( not included the biased idiots aka Jedi and Sith ) would probably focus on many areas rather than one maybe make my own style based on somewhat unpredictable or practice so much it would be unnoticed I’ve changed forms but I don’t really bother 😊
