Thanks to Sir Christopher Lee for creating a whole style of fencing in Star Wars, and thanks to him for insisting on making a curved handle - it turned out to be really the most beautiful and elegant! And also thank him for giving us Count Dooku, giving him charisma, significance and, most importantly, a soul.
This is the best lightsaber form for realism, as it is all based off of real footwork and guards/parries in fencing and HEMA. You guys did an amazing job, great work!
I love the dynamic techniques of the Prequel Trilogy Lightsaber Combat. Definitely see elements of Spanish and French Fencing along with Filipino Kali techniques. DEFINITELY my favorite of the styles. Well done, guys!
ive been looking forward to- dang you beat me too it. A suprise to be sure but a welcome one HAHAHA no one can out prequel the hutt *laughs in huttnese* great vid guys, can you do juyo next for um... non sith lord related reasons ty!
Hello there. I occasionally practice sword techniques and I'm more comfortable with one-handed sword combat at the moment. Thanks for making this tutorial quick and simple.
It seems I practiced Makashi without knowing what it was, I just practiced minimal, simplistic however elegant blade work that didn’t focus much on brute force.
How would you feel about adding lunging attacks into your choreography? Seeing as this whole stance was based on actual European fencing techniques, I think they would fit in fairly well. Plus with force powers and clever video editing, some really cool exchanges could be set up with lunges.
HEY!!! I remember mentioning this to you guys a while ago and here it is!! Thankyou dude!! Also dude, I'd love to see if you could do a video explaining vaapad in some form, either way you guys are the best
I got my saber in the mail the other day I've been just watching your videos like crazy learning some new things with the saber but thing of it reminds me of kendo the way of Japanese sword fighting. The way the Jedi did there saber tricks. Even the Sith as well they all indeed looked like they had Kendo and maybe some ninjitsue training.
So been following and watching your videos for the past couple months and loving the content and I have a bad wrist but by doing your tutorials my wrist has been getting stronger but curious when we can see more of your style tutorials im a big fan of Soresu
Being offensive and because I own the curved lightsaber.This is the perfect form for me.I have mastered this to the Ful list of the point where I don't even have to move much muscles.Just account for somebody and strike them.I can literally do this till I'm old.I can see why christopher lee was able to keep fencing all the way until he was in his eighties
You said the first, does it mean is going to be a part 2? Also will you be doing this for every form of lightsaber combat? That would be cool. Video was good as always
@@Mikestarwalker yes I hope it reaches, I would look forward to seeing those as well, and maybe a reverse grip tutorial as well, keep teh amazing work, and may the force be with you
Dude your video tutorial are really worth to watch i just practice makashi move and it works just i still need to improve my speed attack a little bit more
i wish i could afford one of those sabers that a durable enough to fight with, i have this darth vader one but the plastic is not strong enough the tip is already broken. got it when ep 1 came out.... for some reason they released all the classic sabers too haha. great vis keep up the good work.
Note to self: in basic stance just hold with both hands for stronger attacks and more solid defense well using the precise swing strikes and THRUSTS. As you block and move oponits blade when opening strike to cripple your enemy
Count Dooku is my favorite character of all Star Wars and now that o have enough age to play with a colored stretchable plastic stick without falling off my hand I can finally learn Dooku’s elengant form of lightsaber combat: Makashi or also known as form 2.
Form II: the form was invented to defeat other opponents with lightsabers, henceforth its common to salute the opponent before engaging in a duel. The key is doing as much as possible whilst moving as little as possible. This form is best summarized by count dooku (as we all know)!
Question; at 3:39 you guys do this huge arcing overhead 'parry'. Wouldnt that just leave you open to being quickly gutted across the ribs from the other side? Especially the very open, awkward stance you assume after the parry; bent over, sword way out to the side.
Dooku was a baller. He took on two of the Jedi Order's best in Anakin and Obi-Wan multiple times. Took on Yoda and was the Master of Qui-Gon Jinn. Possibly one of the top 5 Jedi ever before his fall to the Darkside. He saw the writing on the wall with the corruption of the Jedi and how they became weak and arrogant. Dooku was a gentleman, refined, eloquent, a political idealist, a servant of the Force not the corrupt Senate and their petty politics.
@Mikestarwalker Do you have a video on the Techniques Anakin used during the Episode 2-3 era? Also, I am going to write my versions of Star Wars Capture The Flag. Not sure if you have played Capture The Flag before but it is fun. We have done a basic Star Wars Capture the Flag in my family before you should try it. I will keep you updated May The Force Be With You
Very nice. I'm a big fan of the Makashi form. The issue I tend to have is I fing longer blades hard to control 1-handed. Any tips on drills to improve that, or equipment choices to facilitate it?
A typical European saber had a blade of 32 inches or less, and a crossguard to help balance the weight. In addition to being thinner than most light sabers, which helps with grip. You need to build forearm strength. How do we do this? Moulenets. Schola gladitoria has some old videos that give good examples. You need to build up the wrists and forearms. If I remember or am reminded I'll link them.
I was honestly wondering if you've made a dedicated Jar'kai lightsaber combat video yet? If so, may I have the link and if not could this be something in the future?
Hey was just wondering like what sabers are good for actual dueling and stuff like are the fancy ones actually good for cool stuff like this or do you use them for your choreography and tutorials and stuff sorry for the long comment just super curious lol
remember, this form was made just because Sir Cristopher Lee was proficient in Fencing and thought it was a good idea to implement it in his character
Elegant is as elegant do.
I love Makashi, so elegant and easy to learn.
Easy to learn, hard to master, deadly to your opponents
He would make a good young dooku too
@@anticorruptionagenda5106 oh definitely!
it ain't Shii Cho
I NEED a Soresu tutorial :(
Count dooku is *easily* my favorite character in star wars! And I'm so happy to find a tutorial on form II
My too!

i feel makashi is a beautiful form for choreographing, its elegant and graceful, yet deadly accurate

Much better than the first reckless baseball-like swinging you see in the sequals. 🤮
@@OwenMcGuire-ob9qqpeople hate the fighting styles in the prequels for whatever reason
Makashi is excellent for saber to saber combat. Love the video and May The Force Be With You.
YUS SABRE FENCING IN SABER FIGHTING. WHAT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
Also more like epee, but you have a sabre
ive been looking forward to- dang you beat me too it. A suprise to be sure but a welcome one HAHAHA no one can out prequel the hutt *laughs in huttnese* great vid guys, can you do juyo next for um... non sith lord related reasons ty!
So ancient, elegant and simple ❤
Dang, I’d actually really like to see another one of these guide videos showcasing the forms going against each other!

I do somthig similar but whit djem so, i thik thats the natural form of duelung of someone depending of his behavior
I’ve been looking forward to this

Yea
I really like these tutorials. Very well done and helpful. Thank you!

This video is extremely helpful!
I'm doing a count dooku cosplay next month, and I really needed this!
A Very elegant form
Definily my favourite form of lightsaber fight
Looks good! So I have something to train in this damn lockdown :D
Thanks man!
You inspired me to do lightsaber videos. You are so good at lightsaber fighting! I liked the video so I hope you do another form!!
An elegant, noble , Gentleman style
This is your best video I ever see before!!!
Yes!!! Love the video! Please do more lightsaber form videos 😄
After watching a lot of videos on this, I'm picking up on this pretty quickly. I believe I would use this form.

My form 2 I had to develop to suit my left hand style but it still maintains the stances ive seen here so its pretty familiar
Same
It's literally a mirror. Your cut 2 is his cut 3, his tierce guard is your quatre
You said the first, does it mean is going to be a part 2? Also will you be doing this for every form of lightsaber combat? That would be cool. Video was good as always
Thanks man 🙏 If this video gets 1k likes we will definitely do more lightsaber form videos 🙌

@@Mikestarwalker that would be great. Form videos would be amazing. Especially since I'm a "master of all" so I'd love to learn them!
@@starwarsenjoyer7567 Two masters then, awesome😂
@@Mikestarwalker where do yall get your lightsabers from?
a style so chill, you could even take on 3 assailants in your PJs while moderately sedated 😵💫
Very graceful, like a dance
this side of RUclips makes me happy
very happy
Dude your video tutorial are really worth to watch i just practice makashi move and it works just i still need to improve my speed attack a little bit more
very helpful! keep up the good work!
Brilliant tutorial. Subscribed
Yea!!! Just spoke with you on Instagram, thanks for helping me find the video!!! Can't wait for form 5!!!
Just got the new count Dooku Jedi saber and I’m excited
Way better than The Sequel Trilogy.
This seems like a very sick fighting style
i wish i could afford one of those sabers that a durable enough to fight with, i have this darth vader one but the plastic is not strong enough the tip is already broken. got it when ep 1 came out.... for some reason they released all the classic sabers too haha. great vis keep up the good work.
Would love to see more of these.
An elegant style for a more civilized duelist
0:06 woah you did it same , nice vid😄
It actually looks very similar to how one would fight with a rapier
Not even close
Shall we see other lightsabers fighting styles, excellent video, I love makashi
I’m a Juyo practitioner but I apply Makashi moves to throw concentration
I like this one.
This style is one that I would utilize, as it is similar to European and Spanish fencing, something that I have a rudimentary knowledge of.
I’am actually a real Starwars fan and I’m going to learn that as soon I bought my own lightsaber.
I love this
I want to do this it looks so fun.
Amazing

First vid of 2O21!
I never thought I'd hear a Modern Family reference in a lightsaber training video
That is definitely a form an aristocrat would choose.
BTW I am digging your videos I want to start training soon.

You should add another makashi training video for people who mastered the 1st one
I hope yall do djem so form 5 next
I am probably gonna have to be using this for Self defense today lets see how it goes

Use full for my light saber battles with my cousin
Can we expect more fighting style tutorials?
Could you guys do the same Videos for form 4 and 5?
I would appreciate it.
please more of these
I take fencing, so this should be easy and fun

This is the fighting style of Count Dooku
I accidentally always switched to one handed dueling with my friends so one of them eventually suggested this to me
Hey was just wondering like what sabers are good for actual dueling and stuff like are the fancy ones actually good for cool stuff like this or do you use them for your choreography and tutorials and stuff sorry for the long comment just super curious lol
Excellent! Never Saw Anything 👍This In Fan Films! Keep Up The good Work!
Do djem so /shien

please
Can you do form 3 and 5 in the future? I’m trying to learn them and I need a good video guide
Practice with Form 3 requires nerf guns.
@@kennyholmes5196 but it is used against sabers too is it not? Is there a better defensive form to use against savers?
@@RomanVE61203 That is a fair point. I was more referring to how Shien was developed to defend against blasters in the canon.
@@kennyholmes5196 ok, that’s fair
Imagine what would using form 2 and form 3 interchangeably do?
Would it be a powerful combo?
Trying to
make a combination with form 2 and 5 in my fighting style
The forms a quite different but It’s gotta be possible
Can you please do a tutorial On reverse grip? I really want to learn it
Do you make one of Form V, my favorite?
Hi! Can you please offer som insight as to the equipment (sabers) you are using? Thank you!
Hello, I would like to ask, where to learn more advanced choreography, like you? Thanks for helping.
Please do a palpatine vs maul and savage oppress please please please!!!
In Empire strikes back Vader uses makashi, to toy with his son.
