I did my best to translate Soresu based on Ebon Wing's video. Just reference it if something doesn't make sense to you. Have fun!
Form 3-Soresu
1. Activate your Lightsaber and bring saber straight up and across and in front of body to the Right, then Left.
2. Rising upper block
3. Sweeping cut down in front of body
4. Spin Step twice to the left as you wrap Saber around body, then end with a front stance, Shoulder Cut.
5. Figure 8 (4) times front of body to behind back spin, followed by Anakin spin (blossom). End with open hand forward (palm strike)
6. Full Step forward while simultaneously bringing Saber up over the head in an arcing motion stabbing downward (you will do a total of two downward stabs) ADVANCED OPTION: Add a tornado kick in place of the steps. If you do this, you will add a third full step.
7. Five count figure 8 to a reverse cut on the sixth count.
8. Bring Saber around and in front of body, at the same time bringing both feet together and pointing saber downward a 45 degrees to side of body. (Jesus fish move)
9. Full Step fwd and spin 180 degrees and face opposite direction while simultaneously wrapping saber around body with a slight backbend as you do it. (Kill Bill move)
10. Turn 90 degrees to the right as you do a 2 count figure 8, then step forward with the right leg, leaning forward to a pommel strike
11. Spin Saber forward and End.
I added my own ending: After move #11, spin the saber into a reverse grip, full step forward and cut as you spin and drive the saber into a downward stab. Finish by bringing saber up in front of you, feel together and deactivate saber.
