Ready for this?! Is the galaxy ready for this? THE GALAXY IS NOT READY FOR THIS!!! Key Takeaway: Owning 3 single-bladed and 3 double-bladed lightsabers is totally justified 😂. My lightsaber and doubles journey was ignited by @michelle.c.smith and fueled by her and @amiramh @funkycircusfreak and the @freestyle.staff community. I never thought I needed more than two of the same props until early 2025 when I discovered the local Flow Arts community, connected their creativity and skills with those of the international community I’d been following, and I have realized there is truly no limit! @callintheclown kicks this video off! Collin is a pro and I believe he had never handled a lightsaber until this day, and I handed him three! It is so fun to see what what non-Star-Wars trained flow artists do with the lightsaber, and Collin blew me away! This is just a short snippet (teaser)! The galaxy is not prepared!!! (Collin says they flow like poi and are a lot easier!) I finish this video with a trick I saw from my friend, fire contact sword artist @christofireinflow , in a July 12, 2026 post - also posted with contact staff March 11, 2025! I performed this trick with contact staff posted July 24, 2026 and was wondering if I could do it with super massive double-bladed lightsabers. I recently tried it and learned it is possible! It’s going to take me a bit to polish it up, but this little snippet unveils it well! The galaxy will never be the same 😂!!! TOP SECRET: There are elements of juggling arts that are looking like game changers in the Star Wars! Both the Rebel Alliance and the Empire seem to be acquiring the capability … Single-Bladed Lightsabers: @ultrasabers (2) Dark Initiate V2, (1) Initiate V2 24in UltraEdge Midgrade blades, Length: 30.6in 78cm; 15oz 0.43kg Double-Bladed Lightsabers: UltraSabers (2) Phantasm, (1) Phantom V2 36in UltraEdge Midgrade blades, Length: 90in 229cm; 2lb, 7.75oz 1.13kg. The only difference: the Phantom has a black anodized hilt and the Phantasm is bare aluminum. I put contact staff grip on the hilt. #poi #juggling #contactstaff #lightsabertricks #performanceart

Fei Cha + This starts off with Fei Cha Rolls that I’ve been working on for over a year now and have had two in-person lessons from @yonniccolins early last year and early this year! They are very difficult and I still don’t have them polished but I’m definitely feeling them and hope to have them on lock within a year. Ideally they never leave the hand and arm, rolling in a continuous sequence from the back of the arm to the back finger tips back up the front of the hand toward the forearm - then repeat the cycle. The staff is always rolling in the same direction (like a dragon staff) and transitions rolling toward and away from the body when it goes vertical! The movement is very complex which is why it has taken over a year and a half for me to learn, but success feels so delightful! I’ve also been working hard on entry and exit transitions for Fei Cha Rolls and the first one in this reel is my favorite so far - the entry is a forward fishtail and the exit is a toss to reverse fishtail - all in contact staff mode (no gripping)! The second Fei Cha in this reel switches to my non-dominant hand and has an armpit vertical handroll entry and the exit a toss to reverse fishtail! The third is the same but with my dominant hand. The last half of this reel is the first Fei Cha plus the combo that followed. This is followed by a final Fei Cha with the same entry and an exit to grip - done earlier than the first and finishing with a sequence of fun tricks plus the Rocky Mountain Front Range scenery is so beautiful on this rare cloudy day! AND if you look closely you can find Ziti (our doggo)! Contact staff (white): @ninjapyrate Contech Staff - Training Length: 60 inches (152cm) Diameter: 3/4in (1.9cm) Grip: White Silicon Ninja Grip Weight: 1lb 10.24oz (0.744kg) Contact Staff (black): @derpgear 60in (152cm) length, 5/8in (1.6cm) diameter carbon fiber tube; Goat Grip; Weight: 1lb 2oz (0.51kg) So grateful for all my IG pals, and the flow arts communities both local and IG!

What Lies Beneath! What lies beneath this thumbnail are three fire tricks I’ve been hoping to accomplish for the first time: Fei Cha Rolls, Interrupted Angel Roll, and 1st Fire Sword! This starts off with Fei Cha Rolls that I’ve been working on for over a year now and have had two lessons from @yonniccolins early last year and early this year! They are very difficult and I still don’t have them locked in but I’m definitely feeling them and hope to have them locked in by next year - as well as working them into transitions from and to other contact tricks! After the Fei Cha Rolls there’s a Rocket, then Whip Blind, … Then follows the “Interrupted Angel Roll with some Reels” which I learned from @mirrapirate61 during last year’s Renegade Ninja Pyrate Holiday Challenge (posted December 10, 2025)! I absolutely love how it looks and feels with fire!!! Thank you Miranda!!! Then follows a devil roll (I learned from Yonnic early last year). Then a little forward and reverse fishtails (I learned last fall) followed by a ninja strike, upper palmspin to crouching behind the back palm spin! Ending with the highlight of my 1st Fire Sword experience throwing a Rocket! The whole experience posted August 27, 2026. Backyard flow jams are absolute treasures! Experiencing close-up the creativity and skills of flow artists manipulating fire props into spectacular and mesmerizing colors, shapes, and sounds! And the camaraderie with Flowmies: supportive, smart, creative, talented, humble, always learning, sometimes nerdish, passionate, compassionate, … Love to all my IG pals! Love to @michelle.c.smith and @freestyle.staff who ignited and fuel my journey! Lovin’ the freestyling foundation! Thank you @dinosflow for videoing and all your support throughout! Fire Staff: @ninjapyrate Contech Staff - Fire 57in length, 5/8 diameter carbon fiber tube Black Rubber Pyrate Grip Kevlar Wick Ends, 5in 12.7cm length, 2.25in 5.7cm diameter 1lb 10oz 0.737kg (dry) Fire Sword: @dark.monk Contact Sword #firespinning #flowarts #performanceart #contactstaff #freestylestaff
