Thanks for posting this. His stuff looks pretty cool.
Wow. This looks really intriguing DR!
What I find interesting is this almost 'shimmer' into a solid state, only to slide straight back to softness.
Many other styles achieve this in different ways but I was fascinated to see he didn't seem to be overtly using his breath to exact this movement. Does breath play a role at all in this? Is it internal? There is no kiai but that's not to say his breath isn't being used...
Looking forward to the follow up.
