Broadsword

This is from camp 2000

I actually just put this one up as a test of the new google Youtube filter but this is Shifu Ted Volpendesta. He is one of the Rogue shifu's that works out occassionally with the Rogue Shifu group. He's doing a shou shu'ed up version of the 7 star mantis broadsword form. The original form has a lot of flowery useless motion. In the version he is doing that motion has been removed and any wasted motion corrected to proper Shou' shu' motion.

Shifu Volpendesta also fights in the cage occassionally and holds a pretty good fight record. Funny thing he is a nurse and voted the most caring nurse in the state or something like that. Brutal in the cage but very caring afterwards dealing with the damage done :-)

Anyway the purpose of this post was to test out the video filters. It's now really easy to add a video from Google or Youtube. Simply paste the link to the video and it will automatically embed
