I posted this in another thread because someone requested it, but it seems appropriate to post here, too. This write-up was based on Darth Jinduri's above video. General Sun's videos are equally great, his footwork is just a little different.

I'm working on translating Soresu, and Ataru (although it's tough to articulate some of the moves, especially with the talented Omar Holmes' version of Ataru. I'm thinking about modifying it just a little with some martial arts kicks instead of the acrobatic stuff.

So here is me doing Soresu...

I decided not to add the jump crescent kick during the downward stabs, just because I think it flows better without them.

Any comments on what I can work on to make it better?

Yes, I know the ending is different from what you all do, but I was unsure of what was normally done.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Just found another video of the forms. The video doesn't explain much, jsut who the users of each style are.
