Holy crap, Jedi in NY!

Apparently, the school was featured in an ABC News segment:

Personally, I never did like the fight scenes in Star Wars (especially the newer ones.) Just isn't that dramatic. They can add in all the special fx and dramatic music all they want, but they just don't give the audiences the same feeling as other good fight scenes as displayed in Jackie Chan flicks or the old school Zatoichi flicks.

My kendo sempai was a Jedi extra on Star Wars II (or whatever) so that officially makes me...I'm not sure what.

Father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate?

You are correct, Demon Eyes.

Wushu with lightsabres and millions in CG effects is no match for a good story at your side, kid.

Hey, looks like they are having fun, and if they try to fight, you can have fun too!
Its a win-win situation for all.
Besides Jedi rule what with the force and all. Much better than Ninjas... cause there is no such thing as a Ninja I mean... a:jihad: ck

I thought the old fight scenes were really good. Certainly not realistic, but come on, they're in a space-fantasy. For what about the characters the fights were supposed to show, they were good. The new one's sucked because all the lights were turned up to eye-fuckingly bright and no one could stop backflipping.

I think that what these people do is not only sad, but potentially dangerous. You can observe all forms of damage occurring to these participants - psychological, mental, even physical.

I find your lack of faith disturbing...

You understand that the "Jedi Gym" clip is comedy, right?

I do, in fact.

I also understand the subtle comedic concept of a "setup"...which is why I'm hoping people who haven't seen it get mad and then see the ending. You give good spoiler, though...Could you just tell me how Hancock ends while you're here?

Honestly, I used the friggin' search function to find an appropriate place to slap this up on BS without getting reamed for being a n00b, and all I expected was to be burned alive at the stake for a blatant act of thread necromancy.

Tell me honestly - Don't you really wish that this could actually happen to these Larpers?

[DdlR]

Mea culpa.

Kuma, awesome vid.

I've got to go with the "Nothing wrong with larping as long as you remember you are larping" argument.
