Day 1: Foundations of Sword Mastery

It would be helpful if the studio were available as an app or to cast to a television. A larger screen would be easier to see while we practice. In addition, we could use a mirror to check our positions.

Day 1 - feeling so devoted to this practice !

Took me two tries to finish the video because my brain took some time to assimilate the posture but that felt great! Now to repeat that video about 8 more times this week 😍

47 years old here with a lightsaber who’s living out a childhood dream, I enjoyed this first lesson! Looking forward to learning these flows and enjoying better flexibility and mobility. Excited!

I love these stances; they are very familiar to me from my past practice of Tai Chi and fencing. I’m looking forward to perfecting them through this new discipline.

This was very informative and easy to follow. I’m left handed and I appreciate the mirror mode

My sword isn’t here yet, but I’m super excited to start. I have a fake one I will be using until it gets here. I missed doing yoga, but I think this new practice is going to be my new favorite.

I'm a paramedic and Covid hit my nerve system causing fibromyalgia POTS and Trigeminal Neuralgia. On Nov 4th I had a form of brain surgery to not cure me but to try and lessen the amount of pain I experience with flare up. I've lost so much muscle mass and gain so much weight. I've been cleared by my surgeon to start exercising, I had physical therapy for a few months. I'm now ready to get my health back and figure out a new normal. For those of us on the front line during the pandemic we have been forgotten about already even as we still battle our own demons. There was no after care plan for us, no safety net. I suffer long haul Covid. I'm ready to get back to Baddie I was pre Vid. Let's do this!! As I read all these stories I'm touched and motivated. I love it

I'm 41 with a toddler. Haven't had a regular work out routine since I became a mom, and I'm feeling it. I saw you on IG and realized I having a sword would motivate me better to work out! I just signed up and have ordered my sword. But it won't come until the end of March or April :´( So for this session I used a yardstick :D I'm very exited for the sword to arrive and to continue this training!

oh wow my left hand and wrist are soooo not coordinated! lol I'll keep stretching and practicing

Doing some other movements and flow in between the practice of the movements definitely got me feeling this in my shoulders and wrists. Thank you, Sabina! Aim so excited to continue (and get to the Nesta video. ♡)

I just received my sword today 😊 I am so glad you have mirror imaging! Wonderful first sword class!

Cant wait to receive my sword😊

Now this is an exercise I can get behind. I feel so motivated and want to do better and keep practicing! Looking forward to my journey on here!

This would work out nicely if there was an App we could download and work off of instead of just a website

I keep getting a Invalid playback URL

Im so excited.. 33 years old, mom of 3 and now I am living my fantasy dream🤭

Well, I’m having fun already! Thank you!

You need to do it from the other way. It’s hard to see how to move our hands and arms when your facing us

This was a fantastic introduction and got me moving. <3

Is there an app for this or just the website?

Coming from weight lifting preCovid to having major health issues after Covid: Cancer, elbow replacement, hysterectomy, and finally had a breast reduction due to falling a lot and severe back pain (scoliosis) now I want to go back to being normal. Sword arrived yesterday and I’m now signed up and ready!! Let’s go I’m 56 and feel much younger now of course! I feel the muscle tightness and tension but I’m ready for anything!

I'm 56 and wishing this was a thing when I was younger. This is my second day of doing the first video. I'm all for muscle memory and want to make sure I have it down before moving on. I feel like I kept leaning the wrong way.

As a fantasy reader I loved this idea from the start. I used to be very active and fit when I was young, however at 57, I am finding out I am not as fit as I think I am. I am going to go take this one day at a time until it becomes second nature and I at least have some resemblance of my flexibility and stamina back.

My legs! 😭

Around 4:49 min she was showing us how to do it but from the left she stabbed different from her other side. Was not same leg same stab…. She switched hands. Are we supposed to switch? That’s where I kept messing up because I didn’t see the hand switch.

Hi, is there a way to click something or have it show which tutorials you have “completed” as it were - or are people just going by “watched” ?

Day 1! I am loving reading people's stories, so I'm going to share as well :) I am 38 in Australia, two small kids. I've been doing yoga for several years, but honestly I just read so many fantasy novels with kick-ass women saving the world, I wanted to feel that strong and badass, so I am taking my practice up to the next level! My kids are so excited to see it. I ordered a bamboo sword from a Tai Chi school in Melbourne and have begun practising with it. Just finished this video and it was really easy to follow. Going to practise these moves for a while and try for Day 2 tomorrow!

Voice is not good. Low quality. Better to use a professional mic and close to you to prevent echoing in a large empty room.

I'm rememebering alot of my previous yoga training as youre talking about the poses, I took three years of kripalu yoga about 10 years ago. Need to find my balance again. lol

This is a little confusing without going over grip of the sword I have to admit

Using my broad sword until my sword arrives. I would love a textbook for form with directions and step by step pictures. Also, a beginner beginner actual program that starts day 1-30 just focusing on daily drills and slowly increasing skill and flow. I struggle with receiving a tutorial and being told to practice it. I need an actual structured workout plan.

I really need this to be slowed down
