Mara Jade?!
Joe Kerr I swear the way she swings it she might as well be the emperor's hand.
Jaina solo
Mara is hotter though.
yes
i thought you meant mk jade
Nobody:
RUclips Recommendations: *this*
Me: Thank you, Master
Same!
@@BaerliP Listen to her..
If you want to learn
Yep
RUclips didnt do an oopsie yayah!!!!
4th form of lightsaber combat: Ataru, the acrobatic lightsaber form, used mainly for offense with defense consisting mostly of dodges.
Exactly,or Create your own form, based off of that form,but along the same lines and tutorials..
Hell yes
I want her in a Star Wars film sooooooo bad lol.
"Mainly for offense" is a slight understatement, Ataru is THE most aggressive lightsaber form you can take, even more so than Vaapad.
@@mirjana72mb unconventional Sith fighting forms can be more aggressive though
Disney should employ you to train the Jedi
The Jedi ways of fighting from the Prequels are extinct
@@alexdeghost2729 not yet
@GeraltOfNvidia truth and I love the NameTag pretty cool
I just think Disney would benefit from the stunts that the characters could pull off if she was employed by Disney
A Jedi does not do this moves they could kill themself in a instant, stop saying shit seriously, but she does very good moves
memouse clearly you misunderstand im not saying use those moves because you’re right they’d get a Jedi killed and haveing a stunt artist will help some of the moves in the latest movies just look better because the sword play was lacking Rey has no training so it makes sense but Kylie should at least look like he knows what he’s doing with a lightsaber which evidently he didn’t
I saw the first half of the spins you did, and thought I could do them.
But then I saw those sick catches you did behind your back to keep the spin going and I was like. I've got a long way to go.
I love showing you off to my friends, your skills are astounding! Would love to see a battle with you and Ray Park. You both have mad skills. Your inspiring. So thank you.
dv1able YES! Was thinking the same thing. Ahsoka Tano meets Darth Maul. 😱
Aww, I can't spam "like" enough. Been saying that since I discovered her videos. The only problems with having the two of them fight would be: 1 - every other duel would seem worthless afterward, and 2 - one of them wouldn't survive, and that would ruin the chances of ever having another duel EVER, since it couldn't match the quality.
Right Brain: WE WANT ONE! Let's buy one and do that cool stuff!
Left Brain: We would break it during the first few spins. Save your money.
Video: It comes with an extra blade.
Right Brain: YAAAY!
Left Brain: _sigh_ Let me check our bank balance.
Sarcasm my 2 cents...
Never get a gold ring.
Might push you over the edge
*looks at my 3 saberforge sabers*
*looks at my saberforge shopping cart*
Hmm. I have a problem.
Ha Ha Haaaaa YEAH!!!
I already broke some stuff in the garage trying to spin a broomstick 😅
Listen To Her People..
Her skills are legit!!
Skywalker Approved ✔
All of ur moves are just so fluid like, so smooth lookin'! Such a dope video!
👏👏👏 most impressive, you are the Madmartigan of sabers thank you for sharing. Truly inspiring
Firstly, I gotta thank the algorithm for actually putting something cool in my recommendations. Secondly, the way you handle your saber is quite mesmerizing to watch. Almost hypnotic, really. As someone who fairly recently got into the custom saber hobby, I'll have to keep an eye out on the Flowsabers.
You have the coolest videos EVER! Im so going to use these techniques in practicing with my bow staff and swords. Thank you so much and stay awesome!
Thank you for the review. Been thinking of getting one. I have sabers from a lot of other companies and they have pros and cons to each one. Probably will buy this one. Thank you.
"We should all have multiple light sabers."
The only accepted response to that is "Marry me?"
I am glad you have done the review. I really hope they fix all the things you have mentioned, especially the emitter.
You should've been in the sequels! Damn those skills are so good!
Actually,she could have,she is more skilled than anyone on the set of the Last Jedi..
She deserved to be on set
With Nick Gillard,(Stunt Coordinator for the Prequels
She tosses the thing around all the time...
Toss it in the air-instant death in a jedi fight?
You know force and shit.
If its up for grabs...
Pls make sword fights look more real and same with light saber fight.
It doesnt have to look lame but atleast not like its damn dance routine or flag swingingin thingy
@@kloschuessel773 that's how star wars is, deal with it.
HAKATAPAWA its not.
Maybe disneys sjw wars were weapons conveniently disappear when you fucked up.
And Fans of star wars will boycott it. The 7th was already shit, TLJ pissed millions off.
Han solo already totally flopped.
klo schuessel did you not watch revenge of the sith
Fantastic Skills, Wow, What a Woman, A Credit to her Art. Much Respect ✊
love your videos ! I practice a lot of your moves . learned quite a lot from you. thanks for the awesome vids. keep them coming!
Love all your tutorials especially your lightsaber skills of the month, I've learned a lot and can't wait for the next one! Keep up the awesome work
Was in my recommendations, seen and now joined.
The force is strong with you.
Oh damn!!! Your amazing! Very nice moves and flow , love it 😳😳❤️❤️❤️
Flowsaber...good for lots of communities. Excellent review!
i have to be honest, the level of badassery you exude is incredible, ive been spinning poi for years and have always wanted to transition into the staff and or saber, i've been watching your videos for a few days now and am looking for a staff to begin practicing with!!! thank you and much love!
My heart flips when you make your saber flow 😄 Love it!
I've watched many a people handle sabers wonderfully. You by far look closest to a jedi out of anyone i've seen that wasn't actually trained by nick gillard.
This is my first time watching your one of your videos my God you're amazing.
I backed the Flowsaber on Kickstarter and I am a very proud owner. I absolutely agree with all your Pros & Cons on it and I am for sure getting another one, if Connor is creating a updated V2.
I am even more blown away by your skills. The speed of your movements is insane.
If you EVER visit Switzerland and are willing to teach someone 50+ a few beginners lessons - I would be jumping for joy. I have NO skills at all, but I love my Flowsaber so much that it would be so nice to have some trainings lessons with an expert like you.
To see what the Flowsaber can do in the hands of an expert is simply amazing.
Thanks for creating this review.
I really like the longer hilt and the sleek and minimal design are fantastic.
Something that could be done with future versions of this saber is they could drill out the pommel and put the switch down there. It would make the pommel a bit lighter and then you wouldn’t accidentally turn the saber on or off while you’re swinging it.
That was mad saber skills to the bone, true light saber goddess
LOVE the ending comment :) Thanks for sharing and you're an amazing artist ... keep flowing!!!
Teach me oh master of masters! You are the definition of a real Jedi! Your skills are legendary!
May the force be with you!! Always. & May the force be with us all... @Michelle Christa Smith. :) ......Very cool skills, And Video!!!
Have you got a saber staff ? Would love to see you work with one of those.😉
You mean a saberpike?
@@Tony-hv8wz saber staffs are different from pikes
First video of yours I see and you've already gotten yourself a new subscriber. Damn good content by someone who knows what they're on about. Cheers!
I love this saber! I would love to get this for my girlfriend cuz she does know how to handle sword techniques and she, like you doesn't like all the details on hilts that limits her skill. Thumbs up! I'm showing this to her. Totally subscribing!
Thanks now I feel like a noob with my spins lol
Alt+Doom same
It's ok, spins get you killed in a fight
Its obvious she was in flags in HIGHSCHOOL most of her moves are taught in HIGHSCHOOL you would hope she would be good by now.
I'm good with rifles. Decent with sabers. Lightsabers don't have the same weight due to the poly blade which tends to make it hard for me.
@@springwoodslasher79 Why do you fully capitalise HIGHSCHOOL?
That's why we build our own lightsaber !
Cool vid haha keep on it !
Someone in the chat mentioned you on The High Council stream last night then this vid pops up in my recommendations today. Glad it did. You gained my sub after watching you in action after 5 mins.
Your reviews are so In depth and helpful! Thank you! I'm glad you are so prominent in this culture, a lot of how you like your saber set up is exactly how i feel i want mine built.
They don't sell gen 1 any more, Maybe I'll find one for sale somewhere, This hilt reminds me of the flamberge v2 from Ultrasabers, which is the one i am currently waiting on, but i put a simple sleek emitter, not the 3 bladed cross gaurd.
I probably would have got one of these if i had found out sooner, but even now they are all out of stock.
Would love to see a review if you ever do get a gen 2! I am def. Going to get a flowsaber eventually.
Got back into this hobby, as a mental health thing for myself..
Got one for my son too , and a couple he can share with his to be friends at the park.
Your tutorials are most helpful as well. You need to be in the movie!
Gracefully mesmerizing!!
That move where you throw the saber across your back is unnatural
It’s an ability that some would consider.... unnatural.... 😎
Dusty Colbert you beat me by a month to say this... 😂
Is it possible to learn this skill?
Daniel Mumby Not from a Jedi!
Un-natural, yes, but it is totally amazing looking!
I write fantasy stories with energy swords, that are similar to lightsabers from Star Wars. Your videos are nice inspiration.
Energy swords from my setting are ideal for this type of combat. That's because the wielder actually has limited control over the shape of the blade. This makes spinning a lot more useful because you can change the shape of the blade mid-swing and attack. And also VERY IMPORTANT is the fact that energy blade is actually shaped and shielded in subconscious level telekinetically to flow around the wielder instead of hurting his/her body.
It's great to watch your videos since it gets me the grasp on how the fighting style with energy swords would look like in my setting.😎
If we can master projected personal forcefields, we can control the physical via virtual objects. A blade that is an extension of your personal field but otherwise doesn't exist can be treated as virtual by you but is made very functional outside of the field.
This review was truly pleasing, funny and serious
This epic lady is so badass, even bad asses acknowledge her greatness....
If you make the end lighter it wont spin as well.
Loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!💙👍
2:02 the moment you realize the sound fx for Padme's ship approaching Coruscant at the start of episode II is a slowed down lightsaber.
Holy sh*t, that move at 2:03 was mindblowing!
Beautiful saber, been wanting one myself, seems they haven't made a new batch in a while though
So beautifully effortless 👏🏾 👏🏾
Outstanding review! Short, sweet and to the point! There are numerous 'reviews' with too much babble. I like the fact that this is what you say it is! Maybe, being a pro has alot to do with that.
Some great stunts too! You've obviously put alot of time and effort into your training - which has paid off and spades! Great work! Ya got my sub!
Great review👍 ill look when i can but curious as to the cost compared to ultra saber or saber forge..
I built mine & i like it but I'm thinking of getting a 'real' saber
Btw..can't you hollow out the bottom of that hilt piece to lighten up the saber..& cut the blade size to fit..?..
ladies and gentlemen, our master of Niman with emphasis on Ataru and Soresu
i find it amazing when they balance the saber hilt and the saber blade because of this! I would love to see the double bladed version
Wow 🤩
You are so elegant !!
I’m in love with your skills !!
I love your tricks. You rock like hell. I hope they fix your problems. I guess it's just a matter of time. I do freestyle hanbo myself but i'm far far away from your skills.
Greetings from Germany.
Wow, the force is strong with you. A POWERFUL JEDI.....YOU WILL BECOME! Lol
CASH VAZ unless she sucomes to the dark side... we have cookies
I saw the first 30 seconds of this and thought "She's definitely a baton twirler!" That is so cool that you've leveraged that experience into a career! I just got into lightsaber dueling and found that most of the saber hilts my friends have are really terrible for twirling like my batons. I'm definitely going to check out the rest of your videos!
The Force is strong with you! Thanks for the excelent videos!! I'm also a lightsaber fighter since I was 15 years old. But you are much better than me, I need to traine a lot more. Your videos helps me a lot with my trainins here on Brasil, thank you very much, you are awesome!!!! May the Force be with you!!
We went from Jedi Knights!...
To Dancers with light sabers
Yey
Rey could beat her lol
Jennifer Brandt well rey can beat anyone
She is the bestest jedi ever.
The mary sue of mary sues.
She beat luke, kylo and all without any training.
The political agenda of the writers combined with their total lack of care for storytelling, character development or respect for how the star wars universe was set up to world ruined the new trilogy.
Fans even hated the prequels...
Now we can manipulate light sabers as total beginners better than trained jedis.
We can destroy stuff by lightspeeding through it.
Another pro to the Flowsaber... You can end your enemies rightly! LOL
She is good at showing off the saber but is she good at using it for legit combat that's what I want to see
Kodak?
*P O M M E L*
Super fantastic Michelle you always inspire 💥👊💥
OMG the force is strong‼
Well done Grand Master‼
May the force be with you…
Always………
You mentioned in the beginning that you like the fact that the sabre moves naturally, that you do not have to fight it.
That is exactly the reason for the solid steel pommel, to compensate for the weight of the blade.
It could break your jaw if you are not careful, but without the weight at the end the blade would not work this smoothly.
In one of my sabers, I had to wrap lead foil around the battery to shift the balance toward the back. Also could use a lighter-weight blade to help with the same goal. Seems like Flowsaber solved this with a really heavy pommel.
I don't believe the weight is necessary. Some of my favourite props are my lighter ones.
Less weight would definitely be nice. I'm hoping to use a light saber as a flow wand, combining techniques from both to make it look like I'm using the force to levitate the saber sometimes, and it'll be really hard to do unless I can get the weight down. Would love to see what others can do with this too... the plan is to treat it like a long-string flow wand anchored to a choker or collar. It should mostly still be able to do normal saber spins, with the added bonus of being able to let go now and then for what appears to be hands-free moves.
Yet, without the weight at the end, the weight distribution of the whole saber would be changed, and while it would be easy for them to change the material of the end bit to make it lighter, it may not be easy to change the material of everything else to compensate for the change.
Miathan exactly. It would change the balance that she is so fond of if they lightened the end piece.
You could use the force to help. Just a suggestion
I'm so glad there are sabers with actual hilts on the market. I can't do the crazy shit you do, but I have a background in longsword and appreciate the room and smoothness to change grip easily. That's such an important part of swords that people don't think about.
Hi there, you are one of the coolest lightsaber-artists I ever see... I would like to use the Sabers like you. I make installs of Sabers for customers and do it for myself, Kickboxing I do too since 14 years... so your Skills would be a nice Upgrade for myself. I add you to my favorites and looking forward to see more from you... thanks! 💪🏼🤗
Have they no sound Michelle? Iam a Star Wars RUclipsr here in Ireland. I would be interested in this saber but in needs to have great loud sound.
No sound on these ones.
All Flowsaber are stunt sabers and don't come with sound.
Many stunt sabers do as I have two already. I wouldn't be interested in this one without the FOC or sound.
you can always, very easily, add sound in post like she has.
Degobabe Skywalker you got a sub from me!
if the blade touches your body during any move its a fail i think
That's true, and makes it more of a challenge coming from rifle drill.
yeah I counted a few times on her shoulder rolls that she would have cut her own head off. I think that impresses the sith lords you were about to fight quite a bit less when you do that.
Yeah that part is annoying.
Very cool. I may have to buy one because of you.
Lady, you're amazingly awesome. I hope you get all the fame you deserve and all the credits for you work.

@@gringopeeg7533 facts
I've done a light saber from scratch a month ago, mine is inspired (not copied) from the original graflex one, and has bulky things on the hilt. Next i'm going to build will be "cleaner" (and red bladed 😈) .
One thing i have searched is a button that is easy to turn on but difficult to turn off, mine has light too, as you have on that sword hilt. If you press only a bit it works as a pulsating button, but if you press a bit more deep it stays on without having to press it all time. That makes when turning off you have to press deeper and never ever it will turn off randomly when using it.
Another thing i have calculated is the lenght it has to had having in mind my height, because, if not, it could touch the floor.
You could see it here in some images and videos:
instagram.com/p/Be9DBTmFdiP/
If you search on my gallery you could see the stand i have done by scratch too.
Congrats for your channel, i love your videos!!
great work..
keep making videos..
I always learn from your videos.
Wow I'm very impressed!!! A beautiful woman with so many talents. I would love to learn how to twirl a saber like that. You're very inspiring. 😁😀😉👍👌
break a blade? girl they are made for full contact sparing. dont worry about dropping lol
I will be looking for your name in the credits of Rise of the Skywalker
Satoru I stop breaking my heart with reality
A page turner, they are not
Take a look at The Custom Saber Shop online. You could put together a hilt of whatever length you like and a very plain one that works for twirling. There is a tool as part of their forum site that allows you to select different hilts, pommels, extensions, etc to see what the saber will look like and how long it will be.
I am in no way affiliated with them but am considering building and purchasing one from them.
I used to be a Drum Major and my skills are not what they used to be but you have inspired me to have some fun with it all again!
That is so AMAZING!!
"rey's a mary sue" tch, sure this lass would prove you wrong
I mean Rey IS a mary sue character. I like Daisy Ridley as an actress I just hate the writing for the Disney SW fan films.
Seems like the lightsaber you need should be built according to a ninja sword specs.... my neighbor has one from saber forge that seems to be exactly what you described that you wanted.
Michelle, I really believe you are a Jedi, it’s amazing the way you handle the LightSaber, Congratulations, my admiration to you
your skills are amazing and I love the tutorials
;) You love long hilts do you?...
...Too bad for me then :(
@nic sharp But what if my lightsaber has performance problems and occasionally won't even ignite?
StopAndListen then you just need to practice with your other “powers” instead ;)
It didn't stop Master Yoda...
Its always about size with these women 🤣
1:22 "I really like the weight, it makes it good for spinning"
8:13 "The counterbalance is too heavy"
9:50 "it is weighted beautifully"
I mean... your favourite thing about it is it is weighted beautifully but you want the counterweight to be lighter ...
taken in context, they all do make sense
1:22 - lol click it. at that exact time, she specifically says "the way the weight is evenly distributed throughout the saber is really nice". so here she's talking about the overall balance of prop and how it is better than some of the other sabers specifically for spinning.
8:13 - if you back up to 7:50, now she talking about the overall weight. its heavier than the other sabers and she doesn't like that all the weight is centered in the solid metal cap because a missed spin and that hitting you is going to leave a mark.
9:50 - ummm... you cut out the context that is within the same sentence lol... back it up to 9:47 and she says, "out of all my 3 lightsabers that I have, this is my favorite by far because it is weighted beautifully for SPINNING". see also goes on to say that she likes others for combat better but for tricks, this is her go to.
So they all do make sense, you just segmented parts that sounded conflicting but she actually explains everything in detail.
@@r3zin His point is that if they lighten the end it wont spin like she wants it too.
I love your skills you are truly one with the force
The Force is strong with this person!May the Force be with you:)
Why aren't you Rey or Mara Jade in Star wars. Hopefully they delete ep 8 though
just get a smaller blade
I subscribed because you helped me find flow saber! Thanks much
You are beyond amazing! Consider me subscribed and impressed!!!!
You ARE a badass ninja chick !!! You totally need to be in a Star Wars movie ...get on that will ya ? I wish there were chicks like you back in my day 👍👍👍
You should be Rey in Episode 9 please!
She should be the wildcard that appears and kills Rey, Kylo Ren and crushes BB-8, then announces to everyone she is the grandaughter of Darth Maul and pay back is a bitch.
Your saber moves are incredible. Your level of skill reminds me of the airline commercial that says, "The reason First Class is there is to remind you that you're not in First Class." Sigh.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY MAKE THE NEW BATCH OF SABRES! I'M GOING TO ORDER ONE AS SOON AS THE NEW MODEL DROPS!
*EXCITED SQUEALING*
