Day 2 with the VA Practical Longsword:
Alright guys, I know I promised an invasion army of water bottles, but I was laying in bed last night wondering when I would get to see the video of Jason and his airborne bottle cutting, and then this crazy idea struck me.
My form is a little off, or maybe it's not. What do I know! And don't feel bad about laughing around the 1:40 mark. I cracked up every time I watched it during the quick edit.
And here is the highlights reel. Straight to the cut, with some slow motion, without watching the big goofy guy doing his song and dance.
WARNING! If you attempt to try this USE DULL FIRST! Before I attempted this I did a couple test runs to get familiar with a water bottle launching at my face. Then I picked up a stick and hit it a few times.
The "Oops" around 1:40 was because I just wanted more air time, but silly me didn't do the math all the way thru and more air time= longer distance traveled. But notice I didn't swing wildly, that would have been dangerous.
And I PROMISE that the next sunny day I have there will be many water bottle heads rolling.

I lol'd when I heard Ievan Polkka at the beginning of the video. Great stuff, +1 for trying something different.

Very nice. I know from experience that it is a lot harder than you made it look. Brian K and I were throwing apples and then water bottles at each other. The apples being smaller were much more difficult, but each requires good eye hand coordination.
I just hope nobody ever attacks me with apples....I would be in trouble.

the Killer Apple Invasion would be one Sci-fi apacolypse for which us swordsmen would not be generally well prepared
