This channel still gives me faith that RUclips can still be someone simply turning on their camera and having something to say, show their talents, and share their passions. It doesn't always have to be this big production or always striving to be like what we were running away from (TV). Appreciate the reviews in any way you can get them out, and I welcome the entertaining ramblings. Peace be with you all and be kind to each other.
I'm okay with the showcases/first empression videos and the other topic discussions. Honestly, it's the Chinese/oriental martial arts stuff that keeps me coming back. You're the person who made me fall in love with the Chinese sword design and the only place I've see where someone has gone in-depth with how they were "properly" used.
We should try to get down on some Soul Caliber, or another idea I MIGHT be able to get ThegnThrand to jump in on some Hellish Quart so we could talk about sword stuff while doing sword stuff.
Hey man, I came for the martial art knowledge and stayed for your personality. IMHO you can drop any kind of videos and i'd be glad to watch. I'm really sorry for the project that went wrong, but i'm sure you'll find find your way around. Also you say youre a small channel, but at the same time, I believe at ( for now 91 viewers) means that 91 different person went out of their way to watch you talk because we like you, and I dont think its something to scoff at.. Imagine 91 people in a big room listening to you haha. Anyways, hope things get better for you.
Hi Swordsage. I feel very sad to hear about..the "Implosion". Reminds me of endevours that i unfortunetly signed on to do with..(ex-Friends) that spiraled out of control. I am however glad to hear that you made it out. The video "Finding purpose in the 21st century." is one that i have shown to friends and family and it has resulted in some really great discussions. Thank you. To hear you say that more Musings/thought provoking Videos might come out in the future makes me happy. Back to more postive news my friend. 2023 is a very good year for Gaming. It feels a little like 2004,2007,2011 when a lot of great games just release close to each other. But again. Good to see you and best of luck Swordsage. Greetings from Sweden!.
A several friends of mine live in a few different kibuttzim, and they told me on a few separate occasions about recruitment process and just how much can go wrong when you let wrong people in, or have no mechanisms to eject them when you see that need to go. All the best Sage. I know you will succeed.
fairly new to the channel but sorry to hear shit is getting rough. as a black dude who loves swords especially Chinese swords you are def an inspiration, hope things get better for u tho bro.
I've been subbed to your channel for years and while I don't 100% agree with everything you say I appreciate that you say them. If it wasn't for you I probably never would have heard of LK Chen nor bought two of his swords. Keep up the good work and I will keep supporting everything you do. I also live in an apartment so finding space to do sword cutting is almost impossible but if you want any advice I am willing to help.
Yeah I feel you man. Rent is a total scam. I looked into purchasing property in the states but banks don’t like to give a loan for land without a massive downpayment so only people who are already rich can afford it. I look forward to watching/listening to whatever you put on the channel. I hope everything turns around for the better soon.
Hey swordsage, no need to rush the sword reviews as there are already many channels that fulfill that role. However i am looking forward to videos on the other topics that you've mentioned.
Showcases maybe a way to title those non-cut sword videos, by the way long time watcher so I enjoy all the videos you do...speaking of more food on the table think you can also do more of those cheap cooking recipe videos?
If I maybe bold, it would be sweet seeing you talk about politics again, while I know u got some undeserved pushback and dumb comments for it back in the day, tbh you do have some great insights into larger picture topics that even on "the left" seems to be bereft right now... (hopefully bernie revitalising certain topics may be a good springboard for people into deeper politics) Shame though about that project going under, sounded like a good idea until that guy fucked it up, unfortunately as you know the economy/global/domestic affairs are NOT going to get better and ppl need to start organising and community building in order to get by.... but unfortunately that is easier said than done...
Sorry to hear about your commune falling apart ive watched it happen with lots of people. Its never a great idea to pool money with others. You would have been better off renting a studio or warehouse where you could put cameras above and to the sides. Life is always a struggle. Keep digging.
Also I was looking to do videos and did a couple clips once with some stuff where I used the fish tank to hold my phone. And realized that without cameras on a track or a video crew you're kinda producing a pretty minimalist product. Because without video from above to show footwork patterns and side angles to show body placement and head on video to show hand work. And editing equipment to piece it together. You are stuck in one frame.

Commenting because I haven't seen you for years. Happy you're still here trying your best.

Glad to have you around in any way man. Sorry shit hit the fan for you.

Potentially you could go to a campground and do your stuff there. If there's lots of people there you could set up out in the woods a bit.

Hey bro, I’m looking to buy another Jian, but where’s all the reputable online sellers, please let me know !!

Skållagrim needs a sparring partner, mate.
