CM K: Staff vs Sabers

CM-K introduces the staff into the SaberCraft framework. In this lesson, two lumens are matched up saber versus staff. Notation below for Lumen 2 - Staff is noted with which hand is used to strike with the staff. L stands for Left. R stands for Right hand. Hand positions are up to the Lumeneer but we recommend Right-hand palm facing down and Left-hand palm facing up.

CM-K
Telegraph:
Lumen A: 2 fingers pointed at opponent then down
Lumen B: Staff pointed down in front of you at 5 position
Lumina Score: 3

CM-D: Dynamic Combat

Choreographed Movements: CM D

Dynamic Combat by switching between attackers

In this lesson, we cover building a dialog between 2 opponents. By switching who is the attacker, we build a simple choreography movement that allows 2 players to trade strikes rather than 1 player doing all the attacks. By incorporating sections of previous CMs, we build a dialog that switches between CM-A, CM-B and CM-C. CM-D introduces two 2 elements:

  1. Thrusts noted by a 0 (zero) in the notation.
  2. Unconventional Blocks by introducing an alternative angle to a block.

CM-D
Telegraph: Reverse Flourish
Lumina Score: 3

Completes and Complete Across

Introducing Completes & Complete Across ©

A Complete is a wide arc swing that flows through uninterrupted. A Complete Across is when you commit a wide arc swing at a particular target point but move parallel to the ground. Completes and Complete Across we note with a © symbol meaning that the swing is not interrupted and moving across parallel to the ground. In this lesson, we cover 1©, 5©, 12©.

CM 21 – 22 Choreography Sample

Below is a dramatic battle notated by Samantha Huddleston, Julie Failde, Ana Ma Jácome & Alfred Smith inspired by a classic cinematic battle. This particular battle is not screen accurate but rather an interpretation of a given choreography. Many of the pauses, sprints and environment factors are not in this choreography. The choreography has been divided into their respective Choreographed Movements (CMs) and are classified as CMs 21-24. Below is the first half of the fight consisting of CM21 - CM22.

CM-I: Advanced Novastar

CM I: Advanced Novastar

This CM is one of the original sequence combinations at the origins of saber combat choreography. Matthew Carauddo developed the NCSCS (Novastar Caine Saber Combat System) in the early days of LED Stunt sabering and offered a series of DVD instructional videos called "Saber Combat". Our founder had an opportunity to meet Matthew and do a clinic with him and among the training was this sequence available on the Saber Combat DVD. Though Saber Combat is no longer available, we documented here the sequence for posterity as an example of one of the earliest sequence of saber strikes developed by a fan for fans.

Lumen A* 5 9 2-C 1 3 7 3-C 7-C 11
*Note: CM I is based on choreography by Matthew Carauddo for Saber Combat and applied to the CM structure. To learn more about Saber Combat, visit SaberCombat.com
