That was a fantastic dulon. I'm very drawn to the imagery of the sarlacc that lays silent and deadly, taking people unawares. It's poetry in motion.
Thank you sir. i'm glad it is being well received.
I may be wrong, but I think I can see how this dulon expresses ideas about shadowing/countering the Shii-cho formula. I see a lot of flowing shiim and cho sequences "hidden" with parries, or vice versa, feints that open up the center line, along with more dynamic footwork than found in Shii-Cho. There are retreating steps that bait someone into your attack, unlike in the Shii-Cho dulon where you relentlessly press forward.
Very good eye. That's pretty spot on.
So I recall that in a previous video the text mentioned something along the lines of your envisioning Juyo as something extra that you apply to the other formulae (I think..gonna have to wade through aurebesh again). Is the basic idea to pre-empt, blend into, and "fill in the voids" of Shii-Cho's movements? Like for example, the Shii-Cho dulon begins with an Honor Sash sai from a high parry, while the shadow of Shii-Cho begins with a low stances part, rising cho in rapid succession, and then Gathering of the Force.
Indeed, Juyo is more of a variable that is applied to the other formula. The shadow aspect is the metaphor that seemed most appropriate. i must admit, I hadden't thought of that specific detail, but I have to say that it is almost impossible to disagree with. You have definitely grasped the idea quite completely. Kudos!
