This guy said "Fuck being a wizard, I'll take Staff Proficiency, and a base ability of agility, along with my trait being charisma."
He even wears light armor, fuck armor that gives +magic
hahhahaa this is gold
ROLF YOUR THE NERDIEST GUY EVER MY MAN these these are my people
dexterity*
Sounds like a fun build in any case :P
hahahaha
Excelent!!!!
There are two reasons I like watching Kuma Films:
1) The badass ability that some people possess can be mesmerizing beyond belief.
2) I love the chill vibe music that you guys use.
Love the work, keep it coming!
Thanks friend! We'll do our best
In chance you are wondering, that's what wizards looks like if he maxed out DEX instead of INT.
This
True
Lol
This is definitely a bladesinger wizard
@@longhairedbastard literally here for bladesinger inspiration.
This is Gandalf at a rave...
holy crap lmfao
"HAHA fuck you physics!"
- That guy, 2015
John Doe No.
Marcos Santos Yes.
Nes
Emilio Brambila nyeeeeessssss
John Doe guess it was unnececary
But everything changed when the fire nation attacked
shis.
😂😏👌🤣
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Yo I LOL'd way too much at this comment....🤣🤣🤣 Pretty good, pretty good....
So I started this today. I got one. Came in the Amazon mail . And lol yo holy shit this is hard af
Keep at it and one day you'll make Hokage.
No I will belive it!
Level 99 dual wielding mage.
Gummy hahahhaahahah
My next d&d character 🤣😂😂😂
So many hilarious comments here. Why not go on every american football video and argue it doesn't involve any football-ing?
+Belbecat haha, well said
+Belbecat That made me laugh. Thank you.
+Belbecat can't blame them for not knowing what contact swords are, but we can blame them for not googling the term before trying to boast their ''superior'' knowledge of blade weapons.
I've never seen a vacuum cleaner, clean a vacuum.
except after every touchdown when they kick the ball, or the start of the game, or at every 4th down but still I guess I get your point, still this is baton twirling imo swords are sharp:p
+Sasori Of The Red Sand
Batons are a different prop, where the weight is distributed evenly. This is called contact juggling.
Is this Gandalf when he was a young lad?
+Chicken Permission Perhaps this is Merlin when he was younger =o
DepriverOfSouls Even better
Gandalf wasnt a young lad. Ever
Perhaps this is a very young Elminster Aumar, The Great Oversorcerer (from Dungeons & Dragons and the Baldur's Gate series).
forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Elminster_Aumar
actually Gandalf was 'born' an adult lol, wizards are spirits, the Balrog in Moria and Gandalf are the same species
At first I was like "those aren't really swords, though. If those had blades you wouldn't be swinging them around your body like that."
Then he lit them on fire.
I can do some of the shit he does with a real sword as a sword trick that's a feat to show skill and as a warm up.
I’m with @bmxriderforlife1234 its not hard at all
@@arc3944 Haha this kids is what jealousy looks like
Pretty sure he's using the force to move these...
Awesome, it seems that the sword is moving by itself! I think it would be great if you start recording some interviews with the players of your videos. Why they started doing what they do, and stuff like that.
***** Please do a nunchaku video :D
Marcos Santos Woah, programmable LED nunchucks! Also something mainstream like an poi video would be awesome, especially watching it slowed down and doing LED visuals. Actually just looked up LED nunchuck poi, and it's amazing.
***** Physics. Holy flippin physics.
***** Sweet, we'll definitely look him up. Thanks!
imagine a mid-evil battle with swords and armour and this guy walks out doing this lol.
And then he died.
I would abandon the match and disconnect...
yeah id give him a second tops. 1) he isn't moving fast 2) swords require edge alignment, and rigidity in order to be effective in combat. 3) He'd probably end up dying if he did that neck move with a sharpened blade.
notice the black part of the staff is the only thing touching his neck if it was the other part which would have been the blade he would probably have slit his neck
I don't know, I saw this anime once and it worked really well there.
This dude obviously got taught inner peace by master oogway
The music, the scenery and his liquid movements make this video perfect. It looks so easy, but that makes his skills even more impressive...
If anyone is wondering how sticks don't fall:
1. That ball on one end is a counter-weight.
2. When he rolls the stick. The spinning creates enough torque that forces the stick to hold it's position. The same force makes moving bicicle easier to balace than when staying still on one spot.
This was called baton twirling when I was a kid, but I guess contact sword sounds more masculine.
+Matthew Reynolds YEA, AND MY SISTERS DID IT.
+Matthew Reynolds when baton twirlers can move 2 "batons" periodically around there body at the same time while keeping consistent movement, then we can call it baton twirling
+Llama Lavish when he uses actual swords we can call it contact sword ;)
+Silence Neither its a contact sword, its not a typical sword
Whatever makes you feel more badass bro
I think those are called
fairy wands
Incredible flow and control!! Must have taken many years of training. Thank you for sharing this video!
Dekotah Runninghorse yes it's cool
Dude this is not sword skills. He's obviously using Gandalf's magical staff.
A sword is just a fancy metal staff. :)
:D
was gonna say the same thing. no disrespect intended but the title is misleading
That's why after watching 3 seconds of this, I said "fly, you fool!"
Whaaa? He shafted Gandalf's to get that staff?
"Contact Sword Skills" using masculine words for baton twirling lol
*flexes el masculine words*
Maybe it makes up for NEVER getting laid?
HAHAHA
I mean it was cool too watch but as soon as he lit them on fire......... i thought "its definitely baton twirling"
novarza do u not know what a baton is a baton is way smaller
This is incredible. It's beautiful how perfectly fluid all the movement is and each part of a technique so naturally flows into the next.
5 seconds. That's how long he survives on the battlefield. 5 seconds.
If he's lucky.
Ok, I admit that might be true, but have you ever seen true sword fights on the streets these days? ´Cause I definitely haven´t. So here´s the perfect tip for going onto "the battlefield": Buy yourself a weapon that ain´t out of real use for about a century, and don´t mess with artists because they aren´t warriors. Or can you really imagine ANY sword fighter surviving for more than a few seconds on, for example, any battlefield within syria right now?
Highly relevant, of course, 'cause what we see here is someone trying his damndest to become an expert in battlefield warfare.
Exactly what I´ve tried to express
Haha, yeah, didn't even see you comment before posting, but nice of you to elaborate on my point 😉
He's not there to fight, he's there to boost morale, meaning make others eager to fight lol
He's pretty good, but ... FYI ... those aren't swords.
+ZombieTex They're called contact swords. We didn't name it.
+Kuma Films Why not call it "staff" instead?
pirotess2 Don't ask me haha
+pirotess2 I think they are called swords because they do resemble swords with no guard and an oversized pummel (most likely used to shift the balance of the "swords" closer to the end and probably makes them easier to control)
There are many similiar weapon in Asian, exsample, Testusbo of Japan, it has pummel and no guard, but was never be called sword, instead it is called "iron staff" or truncheon / club in English term.
I've played with real swords for almost 20 years. Now, I feel like my studies went in the wrong direction...
Very nicely done! :)
Never in my life have I ever seen someone so balanced of spirit and deserving of personal power my brother, master.
Title says "Sword Skills", I was looking forward to watch movement of Swords, not the sticks!!! Still got Impressive Skills thou.
Bk Suntzu That is what i was gonna say but you said it already.
Bk Suntzu it clearly says "CONTACT sword skills". so both of your comments are obsolete.
solokom How so? I would imagine contact swords as swords that come into contact with something, either a human or some other medium. The objects in this video are not swords, they are sticks or canes.
you totally said it right, why don`t you get it? these swords can come into CONTACT with humans WITHOUT killing them. That`s why they are called CONTACT swords. to differ them from normal swords, with which contact might kill you.
solokom
Yeah we get it smarty. But they look nothing like swords more like rods. Should be called contact rods. You can craft swordlike things that do not kill you and still be swords. But these are not.
I could seriously watch this guy all day.
He is so graceful. They are like an extension from himself.
This is basically what I thought of when I learned what a Bladesinger was in D&D.
So... Blizzard needs to make a character for Overwatch just so they can have this as their sitting emote.
No. He NEEDS to be a character in Overwatch!
diablo 3 monk
I'd rather see him in HotS.
he could easily be in both
Lol This guy needs to lead some marching bands
LELELELELEL
Ha right! First thing I thought was, "I used to watch my ex girlfriend rock batons a lot like that."
I'm imagining him leading the group into Hogwarts for the triwizard tournament. Much more impressive than pounding them into the ground and sparks flying out. Imagine how much they'd save on CGI
Kuma films deserves so many more subs!!
So many people trying to be funny in comments, lol. But this guy is majestic af.
This is way less impressive than it should be. Those are not swords. Those are staves. You are contact staffing.
What about the fire lmfao
and hes got those clear see through objects for a lot easier balancing.....
Right. Just like how a sword has a pommel. It's a counter balance.
pommels aren't counterbalances for swords -_- they're caps that keep the handle attached.
they do both.
At first I was like "This is contact-juggling, but those are not swords." Then I was like "Now they're on fire so... I'll allow it."
I now know someone I'll need in my zombie apocalypse team. That's the melee man right there.
I wanna see this guy do that on a medieval battlefield!
Lets not sugar coat it, those are wands
staffs
Batons
sticks
Fushigi wands
Is that you Harry?
Cool, now let's see it with lightsabers
Done and done! Here you go lol. ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html
rekt? kinda xD
LOL "Contact Swords"?!?
Nice man.
Yes. Because traditionally they use swords but in the west we use sticks that we set on fire but we kept the name because fire sticks is something else
"Contact sword" is what these props are called, and they're not pretending to be anything else. Neither the filmmaker nor the performer chose the term, it's an industry standard. You'd have a hard time getting accurate search results if you called them anything else.
I'm really astonished at these comments. It's easy to complain; not so easy to create.
I think this is a freaking awesome video that showcases crazy impressive skills, no matter how you categorize them.
"This Guy's *Wizard Staff* Skills Are Crazy Impressive!"
Whats amazing is that he can find the center of balance on that thing with ease.
There is a mark in the tape lol he just has to look for that
Martin Hall Nah, we don't really need that. While it's rolling on your arm, you can feel the balance. Seriously.
Martin Hall What Basil said; you generally don't have the time or angle to 'see' the centerline, but you can feel the 'tug' while it's rolling and know where gravity wants it to go.
+Martin Hall Mark on the tape? lol What's with the outlandish justifications as to why someone can do something most can't?
Holy cow that was beyond satisfying to watch.
This is the creator of wizardofflow in case you didn't know. Highest quality flow company out there.
There were no swords present in this video. +3 for the balance, +2 for the music, -20 for lying.
contact swords dumbass
no these are not swords, they are what you call contact swords they have no actual blades as they aren't meant to cut peoples fucking arms off instead they are unique contact staff/fire juggle trainers and are to just look cool. atleast read the damn video title all the way before hating on the video. or atleast find out what a contact sword is before saying they lied about them being swords when they never once said they were swords they just said they were contact swords, big difference. and before you say they shouldent have said contact Swords then well thats not this videos fault its whoever came up with the names fault.
so...a staff?
They're called contact swords because the entirety of the object besides the part you actively hold and juggle can be set ablaze, whereas a contact staff has a singular wick at the very end, not consisting of a majority of its length. It's really that simple, get over it already.
I don't care who coined the term or why, but an object has a variety of uses or characteristics attached to a convenient label for identification. Confusing porcelain with mercury or tic tacs with tetrapods could be troubling, right? A sword has an old and specific definition deriving from the material, length, origin, shape, and purpose that most educated people are familiar with. The performance was pretty cool and inspiring, but there were no swords present in this video. It's really that simple, get over it already.
This is how he defends his virginity
Samurai Jack he defends the shire from pillow pants and listerfinds alike.
I'm 110% sure he gets way more tail than you do.
And I'm 110% sure he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Kyo Grey yeah deer tail cause he lives in the woods
I need to make him my sensei.
Dude, Kuma Films you should enter America Got Talent. He look like a type of person that will win the whole thing. You doing something that most people can't do.
As a contact staff performer, I was like "yeah this guy is pretty good" until 1:56 hit, that was slick as hell
I can't lie, I flinched a little at some parts HAHA
***** hahah so did we
* mutes the video *
* reply *
***** * sarcastic remark *
*A wild Pidgey has appeared!*
Tayler Casch lol.
by far the best one of these is right here... good job guys!
The music certainly reminds me of a village BGM from an old JRPG. Definitely soothing.
Impressive indeed but are these really sword skills? It has nothing to do with fighting.
Those arent even sword would have called these more contact sticks skills. Also these skill pretty worthless in a real fight as also the speed of all this is pretty slow.
Yes, but it looks cool and i think that's what he was going for.
Sword skills are not always have to do with fighting. It's simply a skill of using sword to achieve something, which in this case probably art and entertainment...or maybe even body conditioning. The view that swords skills being only for fighting is a stereotyping based on majority of modern culture presentations of swords.
Yeah man. Sword for fighting? That's just some stupid modern stereotype.
Artrysa
Sword skills for fighting is NOT stereotype.
Viewing sword skills ONLY for fighting is stereotype.
Hope it clears that out.
The force is strong with this one.
Indeed ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html
No doubt he started off by shooting womprats on Tattoine...lol
As Doctor Strange would say..... "TEACH ME."
Whether you think they should be or not, these props are called contact swords. Neither the performer nor the video maker came up with that name, it's an industry standard.
I'm stunned by his level of control over both swords in contact at the same time, and by his continuous matrix (which I have yet to fully master with swords). David Barron has seriously earned his title as the Wizard of Flow.
It looks impressive, but these are definitively no swords...
CONTACT swords..... look it up they never said they were real swords
YEAH AND ANYONE IN UFC COULD BEAT THIS GUY!
They're meant for acrobatics and show, not combat. Dipshit.
If he enjoys the discipline, i guarantee you he would fuck you up with a real blade. Because he likely practices MORE than contact art.
he cut his neck a little bit
instructions unclear, burned down house
+Sylxvelt hahah
+Sylxvelt thats fkd up.... upload a vid proving you;re not a liar pls.
Music is so chill. Just as entertaining as what's going on in the video xD
"Follow the wind, but watch your back..."
I've never heard it called a contact sword, in Chinese it is 飞叉儿 or the Flying Fork. It's pretty common in Beijing! I see old men breaking them out in the morning with far more vigor than this guy. I personally couldn't do much with it. I tried for a season but just didn't get the hang of it.
Oh! And by the way, it's not classified as a weapon but a circus tool rather. It is generally only taught at acrobatics schools.
yeah. we all have wiki. idiot.
blacktieaffair that was really uncalled for. you should be ashamed of your manners.
there is no Wikipedia entry for contact swords or flying works, wiseguy
David Sharp lol made you look tho. idiot. fell for troll bait 101.
Flowing like water like this sweet track.

Them are some super close shots. I had this bizzar instinct to back up a few times. Thanks for the video.
Damn it Legolas is out there teaching folks.
This video is a circus art named Contact sword or Floating sword, so please dont think Kuma films made a fake title. Actually the title is exactly what this circus art is named, nowhere in the title does it mention martial art or fighting. Contact Sword is a circus art-form where the artist manipulates a sword shaped object rolling around their body without the use a constant close handed grip. The art was innovated by the creator of the Flow-toys company. This is a performance art created for the sake of Fire or glow performance. Special materials are required to make the fire burn on the sword for several minutes. Kevlar fabric must be applied on the metal tube or blade to make the fire effect work. The art is a hybrid of Contact Juggling (body rolling with a clear ball) and Fei Cha (an ancient Chinese circus art that uses shaolin tridents rolling around the body to create a magical effect.) Many circus arts are created from using martial weapons in a creative way, nobody is claiming any battle or martial application. if you see someone juggling knives, are you going to really complain that it wont work in battle, or will you just enjoy the show? There are only a handful of rare videos of this specific circus art on the internet, but there are thousands and thousands of Martial art sword form videos on the internet. Kuma Films make great videos of interesting and unique art-forms, people come to their channel to see awesome things that are not yet mainstream and difficult to find elsewhere. and make no mistake, learning Contact sword requires as much or more skill and practice then martial sword style, and the only one you can hurt is yourself, lol.
He's still got all of his hair on his head so you know he's really good at this. Very cool video!
Contact spinning TWO SWORDS ON F I R E. This guy is incredible!!!!
Hi kuma. Its 2 years later. And i indeed kept practecing the fire sword added the staff and dragon staff a d now too im also a dex based wizard. Lol. If i lived closer i love for you guys to film some of my deal.
Where was this filmed? The opening scene was quite beautiful.
Boulder, Colorado
*****
Damn,....I need to move asap.
No. Stay away. The reason it's beautiful is people aren't there.
SAM BRICKELL
Then how would we know it exists?
Ah haaa~~!
SAM BRICKELL
We're all moving to Boulder,...and crashing at Sam's house.
this guy's good! haha.
kudos to david barron.
I would never have imagined such a skill. I feel like a dinosaur --Gee! What will they think up next! Seriously, this man has such grace and a center to his every move. Wonderful!
Those skills sure get you far in life
wow. the lack of respect in this comment section is astounding. what in the world is wrong with you people? enjoy this or dont watch it.
Tbh its not swords, you cannot do it with sword blades, not sword skills, its more of a dance bc of the graceful nature, glass balls is the only thing allowing him to do it, and lastly its a great video for a graceful staff spinning but the title has sword skills so i understand the negativity. If you understand clearly its like a lie with the title or in other words click bait
I was speaking more in terms of the way people are acting or more like, RE acting. so its not the proper name, maybe he didn't know. to me the arguments started below are unneccessary. I understand every one has their opinions but it all comes off as rude at this point... I mean, I'd like to see every one just enjoy the idea of what he's doing. especially to those of us who have never seen some thing like this, it's sort of magical.. basically, kindness prevails in this instance... 💕
you have a good day.
they're contact swords thats the point -_-
"enjoy this or dont watch it" < That makes no sense.
PS- Alice InCrazyLand does have a point though, bunch of idiots getting annoyed at their own lack of intelligence. That IS the proper name "Contact Sword" for fire spinners/jugglers based off the glass balls used in "contact juggling". Admittedly I came here expecting real swords too but at least I know it was my own misinterpretation, and it's still mesmerizing.
Can't be real.. JUST CAN'T! Joking, awesome skills ;)
Imagine this guy showing up on a medieval battlefield...
0:40 Got that cheeky dab in, huh
I want one like his, with the nice wrapping and the bulb at the top! Although a different color than clear. That's it. I'm embarking on a quest.
Editorial facebook.com/WizardTricks/photos_stream
Mr. E .LullAbhay I found their store, but the website's not available. Something wrong with their web host.
Editorial yes, the website is offline, but i still make them and sell through the facebook page, just send a message. im the one who builds them :)
Mr. E .LullAbhay Ooh, I'll keep that in mind! :D (At the moment, I haven't any money, but you know how it is...)
Editorial Fucking make one then
He would be a killer jedi
😅
He is -> ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html
From the Gandalf school of martial arts.
Wait till he starts vocal training with
- "You... Shall not Pass!"
- "YOU... shall NOT pass!"
- "You SHALL NOT pass"...
"Our swordsmen are highly skilled and well trained."
The swordsmen:
I thought I was going to see some sick sword fighting moves, not some high school marching band shit.
It's the same shit. The point is to control the object so you never touch the dangerous part. You obviously don't practice with real swords because fucking up could kill you.
lol no, this is not the same as sword fighting at all, this is juggling. Don't get me wrong, he's real good at juggling but it's not sword fighting. This does not help at all with controlling the tip of a blade for a stab or the angle of a blade for a cut, it teaches you nothing about blocking or parrying, and if you tried anything remotely similar to what he is doing in a sword fight you would get yourself killed. Sure you might use something somewhat similar to a contact sword in training but you would never be doing anything close to the movements he is.
TMFlesh So not only are you an idiot, you're an arrogant idiot.
Of course.
No he is completely right Im practicing Kendo for 3 years now and that what hes doing in the Video you can nearly never use any of that and well OF COURSE you never touch the Dangerous part (by the way its called BLADE) because if you would touch it, it would obviously cut you and well by juggling a Blade you cant block any attack of an enemy because he would directly attack you while youre juggling your sword around your head
And well you are the arrogant idiot because you dont even know a little bit about the art of sword fighting and he never said anything about him (The guy in the video) being bad at that what hes doing there he only said whats true and that is that juggling never helps you in a sword fight because that are two different things
and i already know that im going to get insulted by you but you know what ? i dont care because i know that TMFlesh,greebat and i, Yeah we are right :)
Well youre the best subject too show all humans that dumb people can only feel good when they are insulting other persons so thanks :)
.... pretty sure those aren't swords
boi
They're contact juggling swords
Contact Sword =/= Sword
Yeah I'm pretty sure like any kind of sword would be balanced a lot differently. And have like sharp dangerous edges
this would be pretty act at the circus rather
That was oddly impressive, soothing and hypnotic.....
Looks like he's dual-wielding magic staves, which is awesome in itself. I only seen one other video where someone does something similiar.
uh whys the word sword used? hes just twirling sticks....
They are called contact swords. That is simply the correct way to explain what he is doing.
Why not Contact Sticks?
why but why why why! haha
It's not correct just because some asshole decided to use the wrong word as a marketing gimmick. They're sticks.
because youd never come for flaming batons
At first I thought this guy had somehow put a fortify two handed enchantment on his staves. Then he gave them a fire enchantment I realized that his skills were just legendary.
Give this guy a couple of lightsabers and it is already better then the prequels
hold my beer.
Someone needs to edit this to make those look like lightsabers XD
Way ahead of ya 🙂
ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html
This is firesabers, even cooler... or should I say hotter
There is not a single moment of my teenage life onward that I have not wanted to do this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't even know this was a thing, but now that I have seen it, I must have one of those instruments so that I can master this skill. Where can I acquire this magical staff?
Yes, he does, I saw him at Starbucks last week. Very nice fellow.
***** FlippinSweet TV Thank you, fine gentlemen. I'll go check my local Starbucks and see if he's still around. He may not want to give them up, though...he becomes more powerful the more staffs he has.
Did you end up finding it?🍃
Sometimes dreams take time, if you are still searching, I can give you a lead:)
Company called wizard of flow. (His company) buy contact sabers
Here again. This is awesome!
Did anyone think this would.... dude this video was a trip
Nothing Swordy about this, but freaking awesome regardless.
Now do it with a Lightsaber!
He did ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html :)
Oh THAT'S a sword? Man I've been wrong my whole life!
Sawyer Ramsey its a contact sword..
these are contact staves
they're in the same dance routine sort of deal as poi and fiber optic whips. they're quite fun.
someone needs to edit this video (take out the flame parts) and add in the light saber effects and speed it up ever so slightly. best Jedi moves ever XD
like this...? ruclips.net/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/видео.html
lol I literally saw that just after I finished typing that XD
haha nice
