Mixing it up

In this version, we mix up CM-A in various ways to make it quite a workout. No need to switch between more CMs - but rather, stay focused on 1 CM and exploring its movement in continual repetition. Tapas, discipline through heat, is the focus of this activity.

CMs in this exercise: GCM A - S: CM-A Swashbuckler + Longsword + Regular Style

CM-G: Saber Locking

CM-G is a saber choreography modeled after the famous battle between father and son in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. This choroegraphy is inspired as there is no official documentation for the entire battle. For the purposes of editing, sometimes frames are flipped around to better capture the choreography narrative.  This particular choreography also uses locks throughout which should help the Lumen know when to hold for a particular pause in the battle to add to the drama of the fight. CM-G is worth 2 points in LUMINA. To learn its notation and more about the SaberCraft system, please visit SaberCraft.org

CM-G
Telegraph: Forward Eight Flourish OR Helicopter + Position 3
Original Choreography: LvV
Lumina Score: 2
