CM-O, or as we call it: Space Samurai, is a choreography inspired by the Musashi versus Tanaka fight from Westworld Season 2, Episode 5 (see original video). Each CM up to this point has been 1 CM out of our CM Core library; CM-O is first in the CORE Library that is actually a combination of 1 or more CMs. In this case, we are combining 2 stand-alone CMs CM 51 (worth 2 points) and CM 52 (worth 2 points) and combining them into 1 LUMINA Powerplay which we then call CM-O (worth 5 points). In this saber choreography, instructors Amen Abdou and Alexis Adames from SaberCraft.org walk you through the roles in this action packed choreography. Choreography notation by: Amen Abdou.

CM-C: Completes and Telegraphs

In this CM, you will notice a parameter that has been added to a particular defense. When a number goes after P, you can modify it with the "M" designator to specify where the tip of the saber is pointing for that particular defense pose. In this CM, we commit to a 3 Parry noted 3P but we turn saber to point its tip down to the 6 0'clock position. This defensive posture looks like you are defending one side of your body but appears as if you are blocking a strike from behind. This is notated as 3PM6, as it is a 3 Parry, Modified with the saber to point at the 6 position (blade pointed down).

CM-F: Contactless CM

CM-F focuses on footwork and body movement focusing the mind/body in order to isolate moves to a series of dodges for one player while focusing on proper and safe swings for the second player. The object of this CM is to do a continual series of dodges. From a performance perspective, it can be used for a character who controls the fight by demonstrating to the other player that they do not need a saber in order to engage them. It can also be used to portray a weaponless character who needs to avoid getting hit in order to escape, reach a weapon or any other circumstance. This CM is contributed by Santiago Martinez.
