Soresu Form 3 | Lightsaber Choreography Tutorial

[@CertifiedNuisance]

This is the lightsaber form I've always wanted to learn. Ever since I started watching Star Wars again, Soresu seemed like the perfect form for me. I'm glad I stumbled upon this video and learned the form.

[@paulielamothe4134]

Same. I'm more of a defensive oriented guy myself, but I also like Makashi because I used to fence and it reminds me of it.

[@Welther47]

@@paulielamothe4134 I know it's all fun and games; why I'm here myself. But there really isn't defense in swordfighting. You defend with a shield. There is attack and parry - and a parry is not a defense, it's trying to create an opening, and if you don't cease on that, then you are behind. 1:19 is a good example of movie-fighting, fighting the weapon, not the person. 3:02 look how they are not threatening each other, they are just bashing the saber out of the way. But books have been written about this and still are.

[@maradon._.]

​@@Welther47 i know what you mean and this is an argument commonly brought up. Two things to consider: 1. You say it looks like movie fighting - that's because it is. No one is seriously saying that lightsaber fencing would make you win a fight on a battlefield or something. It's meant to look flashy and sharp and cool, which it does if you do it fast enough. 2. As already said in the Shi-Cho tutorial, these defensive jedi-like fight styles never aimed at straight up killing your opponent. A proper jedi took his adversary keptive and didnt just murder him (like anakin did to dooku).

[@Welther47]

@@maradon._. My point still stands. You are dancing around the bush. I know it stage-fighting, but it doesn't have to look like it. And to point two; killing or not is not the point.

[@strider4life696]

This form combined with the high ground will make any Jedi a deadly force.

[@Saberrex1]

This is exactly the style I utilize for my defensive blocks. Soresu is one of my three major styles that I utilize in lightsaber combat, along with Juyo and Djem So.

The Darth Bane set up, good grouping

[@therealboi1173]

Yo where did you learn those?

[@moviemaker2011z]

damn, pairing two heavy hitting aggressive forms with a fortress defensive style... im have no doubt that bane would be pleased with your choice of styles.

[@AuraBearDisciple4]

Fr tho

[@eugenewang4650]

you've really encapsulated the essence of Soresu- a fully defensive style that aims to achieve as much potential as possible with the least amount of effort and movement to conserve energy while your opponent drains all of theirs.

[@cookiegirl104]

So I’m planning to get a lightsaber VERY soon, and I wasn’t sure what style to pick, but now I’m 100 percent sure and going to practice for weeks. Thanks so much!

[@Tachiarai]

Tell me all of your secrets

[@YondaimexFlashx]

Dude that was awesome. It was nice to see my favorite style. Definitely going to practicing more now all of my neighbors at my apartment are going to be looking at me weird now. You guys have made me want to do this more

[@lordspvce702]

This form feels so smooth, I see why Obi wan mastered it as his primary lightsaber form. Excellent tutorial again good sir! Definitely loving Jar’kai and This form as as personal favorites🧙🏽‍♂️

[@KumaoftheForest]

We even see Jar’Kai Soresu from Obiwan in the Clone Wars show

[@colepoling3103]

I self taught myself, in every single form too to make it exact my compiling all of the styles in my head and who uses them! The only one I could not get down was Sorseu!

it’s just defense

[@Mikestarwalker]

ONCE THIS HITS 1000 LIKES WE WILL MAKE THE ATARU TUTORIAL!!!!!!! 🙌

[@bravenkirok3142]

As a student of historical swordsmanship I see issues with using these forms for real combat, however, these are quite nice looking for choreography. Fast, intense, purposeful. They appear to have bad intentions so it sells well to an audience. Too many lightsaber or sword choreography videos look like they don't want to hit one another. These do. Although some strikes look intended for the weapon most seem to be aiming at the body and that's what makes screen fights look more real. I like it. Good job.

[@danielbrown1239]

None of this is intended for real combat in a real sword fight or even a stick fight all this shit is useless it’s just all too look cool

[@bravenkirok3142]

[@lordspvce702]

@@olivermuthu4243 I’ve been using Terra Prime Lightsaber armory for further form references. There isn’t a terrible amount of crazy jumps and stuff, but it is definitely a very complex style with a lot of turning and stepping.

[@Malgus2070]

You’re really fluid and thorough with your tutorials, and I’m looking to learn Form IV, Ataru, and was wondering if you could make a tutorial on it and further forms. Your videos are awesome by the way, keep it up.

[@ElementalHeroWierdo]

Yours are definitely the best tutorials I’ve seen. The forms are well put together and I’m really interested in how you’ll develop ataru.

[@RedLanternArmada2]

I came expecting someone who knows not the nature of Soresu and found someone who could teach Soresu efficiently and know its intended purpose thank you for this tutorial it is much appreciated

[@Guitarwizardrylol]

Hello master starwalker. You have trained me very well with a lightsaber. I hope you keep making more tutorials like these. May the force be with you.

[@Blackthorntribe93]

[@angstmuffinofdoom5094]

I’ve wanted to try double blade Soresu for a long time, so thanks for breaking down Soresu in a way I can understand.

[@samuelbuscop1615]

Congratulations, Soresu has finally reached 1k likes! Now you can finally teach us Ataru!

[@trianglemoebius]

I already have prior training with a lightsabre, but thanks to your videos and how the break each form into it's fundamentals I've come to develop (I can hardly say I invented it, but I wasn't formally taught) what I call "Form 2.5" - a mix of Makashi moves for offense and Soresu for defence. Of course, they aren't perfect copies of either form, the trick is the stances and moves to be slightly tweaked so one can instantly transition between the two as the tide of combat flows, but, again, this was made far easier by being able to reference your videos instead of having to do everything from muscle memory.

[@Jedi_Kensh_WiOak]

Another awesome tutorial. Thank you

[@Mikestarwalker]

I too am a Soresu practitioner. Grand form

[@analyst12]

Dude, if I were king for a day, I'd cast you as Corran Horn teaching Soresu to the New Jedi Order since he literally has to stand his ground in every fight. (No force running, flying, force-assisted leaping, or telekinetic throwing for him!) Great work and a really engaging video!

i fight since i had 4 or 5 years old.

[@sulituan4506]

Your duels are badass

[@TheShadow14150]

Form III: it seems you trained with master depa bilaba No guys I’m kidding 😂 Form III: this form was invented for defense, specifically against blaster bolt like mentioned in the video. The idea is to have the best defense which puts opponents on offense, thus lowering their defenses. The spinning in the blade work allows all parts of the body to make the best defense possible. We’ve all seen kenobi shine when using this form! These videos are incredible by the way! And I love how the purpose of the forms creation was also mentioned, that can really help someone learn it!

[@moviemaker2011z]

one thing i have seen alot is that people will use form III and incorporate the obi-ani move as it not only misdirects their opponents but also works to help ready up for a defensive measure.

[@Iam_Itadori]

The training at 2:22 was so helpful!

[@MairinGoBragh]

Yep. This is my jam. This and Makashi. I would love to see you finish Shien/Djem So, Niman, and Juyo/Vaapad. It'd be an interesting take to see the Consular form (Niman) in its application in lightsaber duels. Not exactly a strong form for it unless you know exactly what you're doing with it (like Darth Sidious/Palpatine).

[@brutalstuff1653]

I would actually use this and master if I was Jedi or sith, it’s very interesting your the defense, doing counterattacks and waiting for an opportunity to strike your opponent or tiring them out.

[@lucashan9176]

Can you also do Djem so/Shien and Niman tutorials too please?

[@kennyholmes5196]

I believe they'll get to that and a ground-based Ataru as well, based on how they Hearted that comment. I feel like the most fitting one for next would be ground-based Ataru.

[@timboslice980]

I always dreamed of a duel bladed soresu jedi from the old republic. Deflecting tons of blaster fire or just stale mating sith and trying to talk sense into them the whole time. Lately i was watching ahsoka and realized how easy it looks to deflect blaster fire from an effects point of view. I bet you guys could donsome creative stuff with blaster deflection! I know saber vs saber is your main but i imagine it wohld be easy to do in post.

[@TheUnclefester13]

I am a student of kenjutsu. I enjoy the look of the saber duels. Subscribed because I like the content and instructions. One day I would like to see a akimbo style that incorporates a long saber and a short saber used in unison like Musashi. Or a Zato Ichi type blind swordsman. That would be a fun character to play.

[@georgefanca2026]

This is my ranking of the lightsaber combat forms: 7. Vaapad/Juyo - I like it, but its not my style. Its to aggressive for me. 6. Shii-Cho - Its pretty easy to learn, but... I don't know. I like the other ones better. 5. Djem-So/Shien - This one is aggressive as well, but I think its easier to use. 4. Soresu - I love how peaceful it is. But there are not really offensive moves. 3. Niman - There's not much that I can say about Form Vl. I love it! 2. Ataru - KETAMINE FORM. Nough said. 1. Makashi - 😌😌😌
