Title: Using a Crystal Focus Bane the way it should be...a Sith Saber Form - By Caine

Bane Form - An LED Saber Open Form by Caine

I competed in our West Coast World Martial Arts Association intermural tournament today, and once again did an open saber form. I chose to use my Crystal Focus V5 Ultra Bane, and toward the end, my newly acquired Overlord as a shoto. The form went very well (even though I accidentally shut the saber off halfway thru, even with the CF set APOP,  lol) and my judge was none other than my grandmaster instructor, Master Ernie Reyes Sr. He seemed to like the form, and gave me a couple of "thumbs up" for approval. That made my day.  :D

Forms Specs:

Ultra Bane with Crystal Focus V5
Ultra Overlord with a 24" blade for a shoto   ;)
Special mix of "Duel Of The Fates" with a saber ignition byte, and a couple of Sidious sound bytes mixed in.
"Canon" Lightsaber Forms of Combat utilized: Djem-So, Juyo and toward the end, Jar-Kai

Seems like they would have put your name on the plaque.  Great job Master Caine

That... was... AMAZING !

I think that you have just one thing to do to have it complete : Bane's costume.

With that, you will be able to claim you title of Master of the Sith ;D

Three thumbs up Master Caine ! (Yeah, I got a spare hand ;) )

You don't get your name on a trophy or plaque if the award is given to you on the spot.  They don't know who's going to win when they are making the award.

Way awesome, Master Caine!  You represented our entire hobby with inspiration!  We of the Saber Forum salute you!

I know I will be watching that form over and over. I love the way you worked those kicks in and the dual sword form at the end. Too sweet.

Killer job and way to rep the saber community. :)

My vote is for Caine to instruct/notate/teach that form for a video... :)

Although... as if he doesn't already have ENOUGH to do, lol

Caine, I could never muster enough confidence to wield 2 large sabers at the same time... I'd be afraid to clank them together (as i have done with smaller sabers).

Great work!

I am actually planning on doing that! And very soon, too!  ;)
