Good, Alexis. Good. Do it.

[@Iwillone]

It's always so fascinating to have a whole new martial art created for a fantasy/sci-fi genre.

[@alexisnieshalla]

YES! there are so many parts of the creation of star wars that really amaze me

[@ironinquisitor3656]

I love Shii-cho. Its simplicity is its strength as Kreia/Darth Traya says. I also love Makashi and Niman too.

[@alexisnieshalla]

yes! i am looking forward to researching those forms

[@goldenboy3898]

from 3:15 to 3:35 you just touched the saber with your right index finger and made me quite anxious as if it was a real lightsaber 🤣 jokes aside i liked your video a lot :)

[@SkywalkerAcademy-oi4fb]

Great video. Been watching your stuff for the past week. Got some good stuff. Just subbed. Also i find it kinda funny that you're talking about the lightsaber forms and I've been doing something similar, with one of my OCs. Having her talk about different aspects of being a Jedi including lightsaber forms.

[@alexisnieshalla]

AHHH i really appreciate that :) that’s so awesome!

[@TwistedBishop]

This was very interesting. I've heard of a couple different lightsaber forms in the games but never learned how they really operated or the backstory. The demonstration also looked great with the low light and the green glow. Hope you keep the series up.

[@alexisnieshalla]

thank you so much!!! yeah, i never knew there was an actual system either until i read a book called “Padawan” about Obi-Wan

[@gengiskamimura]

may the force be with you master

[@user-vn5xj6yc9p]

You did it!! That is so cool. This video felt rather sophisticated and I really liked how you demonstrated the form. It made for a great overview and how you used examples (like the five droids) to explain why something is done the way it is. Kit Fisto vs Palpatine was an intresting one, since I didn't think Fisto would use Shii-Cho against Palpatine, but he hold out at least two three strikes more than his fellow Jedi companions.... Except Windu of course, dude was a diffrent breed. Now I am by no means a swordsman or have any formal experience in Fencing or figting with swords, but I finde myself when I do it to be more of a Makashi type of fencing. The Makashi video will be real cool I belive. 😶‍🌫 Man it's time I buy a lightsabre. Great video Alexis, looking forward to more 🙏

[@alexisnieshalla]

yes!! i really enjoyed making this, and am looking forward to the makashi video sometime in the future. i use my lightsabers so much…it’s definitely a worthy investment. thanks for the wonderful comments as always!

[@WdCarvalho-nj7lq]

The "over head strike" really looks like Long Sword Tecnics! Nice vídeo, diferent format from other creators!

[@alexisnieshalla]

yeah! thanks!!

[@daveh1180]

Well now that you started with Form#1, you can't stop now!!! hehehe You explained and demonstrated so well Master Alexis! Question: If you were a Jedi, what aspect of being a Jedi would be some of your favourite Jedi things? Examples: Being able to levitate rocks? Make people repeat your words and perform whatever task you tell them to do at the wave of your hand? Being able to hang out with other Jedi's? (oh wait, there are not many around are there? Maybe Ahsoka? Rey? Ezra?). MTFBWY!

[@alexisnieshalla]

yeah! 😂😂 i’m planning on continuing with the other lightsaber forms in the future. hmmm difficult question 🤔 i can’t pick one so i’ll say a couple: 1. I’d love to create my own lightsaber. 2. I know i’d create great relationships with my master and other jedi (like how obi-wan, anakin, and ahsoka were inseparable) 3. Some professional lightsaber combat training would be really fun 😅 thanks for the comment! what would be your favorite jedi thing?

[@daveh1180]

@@alexisnieshalla I think my fave Jedi thing would be learning and experiencing what connecting to the force truly felt like. Must be a strange yet serene and probably a little scary experience. I guess it would be kinda similar to meditation but on a grandeur scale. MTFBWY!

[@IsaiahOSullivan]

When I seen this video pop up in my subscription tap, I was like ‘Oh, no way, she didn’t!’ This was so amazing to watch. You did a wonderful job at the strikes and spins. I’m definitely going to use these in my fan film! Keep up the Grand Master level videos! 😎🤩😁

[@alexisnieshalla]

i sure did 😂😂 thank you so much for the awesome comment, and MTFBWY as you make your film!

[@IsaiahOSullivan]

@@alexisnieshalla And also with you in all your videos! Thank you so much! 😊

[@TheMoonKingdom]

Wow, very thorough & awesome. You're really giving everyone purchasing lightsabers something to do! Can't wait to see rest of the forms if you are up for it:)

[@alexisnieshalla]

i appreciate the kind words! i’ll definitely continue on with the other forms sometime in the future

[@BossPhrog]

This is great! Is this gonna be a series? Recommend watching Mike Starwalker's tutorials on the lightsaber forms, it's the system that Nick Gillard developed for the prequels.

[@alexisnieshalla]

yeah! i’ll plan on continuing on with the 6 other lightsaber forms in the future. i’ve seen some of his videos, they really are great. thanks for the comment!!

[@devanschell3451]

Great job!! Kit Fisto was always my favorite Jedi growing up, and I wish he got to show off more of his moves in the movies. I’m glad he got some love in the Clone Wars and in your video! Keep it up!!!

[@alexisnieshalla]

thanks so much! yes, it’s awesome that he got lots of screen time in TCW

[@ZenosenVA]

sick video, I wanted to get into saber spinning so I ordered a Mando SE from NSabers, great that there's a easy to understand video for the first lightsaber form :D

[@alexisnieshalla]

thanks!! oh yeah i’ve seen that saber, it looks really awesome

[@sabercomp2002]

Well-explained!

[@alexisnieshalla]

thanks!

[@thenieshallafamily]

I like the “sweeping stikes”. Don’t know anything about anything else you said, 😅but wow, impressed always Alexis. Teach me some strikes sometime! Mom tutorial😊.

[@alexisnieshalla]

you really want to be in a video 😂😂

[@stellaluvskyguy]

SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS

[@alexisnieshalla]

yayyy

[@adamfarley7658]

me you good Alexis good! do t and good job !

[@jamesphillips7656]

Your training is almost complete, my apprentice 😈

[@Ryanopoly]

You're looking as beautiful as ever Alexis, and thanks for always teaching us something new about Star Wars. Have you ever thought about acting if you aren't already, because you'd be a perfect Jedi fit in all of the live action Star Wars content Disney is putting out these days?

[@thebig7681]

I prefer to use form two and five as a hybrid form to wield my crossguard lightsaber

[@alexisnieshalla]

awesome!! i’m not too familiar with form 5, but i’ll be sure to look into it in the future

[@BluClarityReviews]

Is form 4 focused on dual wielding?

[@nunoricardoserafim3187]

In real life, when did lightsaber forms become a real life martial art and who invented them? Did they originate from the movies/series choreographers or did the fans just try and copy what they saw?

[@alexisnieshalla]

i’m pretty sure it was a system developed during the prequels by stunt coordinator Nick Gillard. there was a basic system in the OG trilogy but he really made it a “real thing” i guess

[@raisinbran3736]

I'm new here. Hi

[@alexisnieshalla]
