This Guy’s Contact Sword Skills Are Crazy Impressive! 

There are two reasons I like watching Kuma Films: 1) The badass ability that some people possess can be mesmerizing beyond belief. 2) I love the chill vibe music that you guys use. Love the work, keep it coming!

This guy said "Fuck being a wizard, I'll take Staff Proficiency, and a base ability of agility, along with my trait being charisma."

In chance you are wondering, that's what wizards looks like if he maxed out DEX instead of INT.

This is Gandalf at a rave...

"HAHA fuck you physics!" - That guy, 2015

But everything changed when the fire nation attacked

Keep at it and one day you'll make Hokage.

Level 99 dual wielding mage.

So many hilarious comments here. Why not go on every american football video and argue it doesn't involve any football-ing?

Is this Gandalf when he was a young lad?

At first I was like "those aren't really swords, though. If those had blades you wouldn't be swinging them around your body like that." Then he lit them on fire.

He's pretty good, but ... FYI ... those aren't swords.

Pretty sure he's using the force to move these...

"Contact Sword Skills" using masculine words for baton twirling lol

This dude obviously got taught inner peace by master oogway

Dude this is not sword skills. He's obviously using Gandalf's magical staff.

Title says "Sword Skills", I was looking forward to watch movement of Swords, not the sticks!!! Still got Impressive Skills thou.

Incredible flow and control!! Must have taken many years of training. Thank you for sharing this video!

The music, the scenery and his liquid movements make this video perfect. It looks so easy, but that makes his skills even more impressive...

imagine a mid-evil battle with swords and armour and this guy walks out doing this lol.

This is way less impressive than it should be. Those are not swords. Those are staves. You are contact staffing.

I've played with real swords for almost 20 years. Now, I feel like my studies went in the wrong direction... Very nicely done! :)

This is incredible. It's beautiful how perfectly fluid all the movement is and each part of a technique so naturally flows into the next.

Impressive indeed but are these really sword skills? It has nothing to do with fighting.

If anyone is wondering how sticks don't fall: 1. That ball on one end is a counter-weight. 2. When he rolls the stick. The spinning creates enough torque that forces the stick to hold it's position. The same force makes moving bicicle easier to balace than when staying still on one spot.

I think those are called fairy wands

Kuma films deserves so many more subs!!

This was called baton twirling when I was a kid, but I guess contact sword sounds more masculine.

Lol This guy needs to lead some marching bands

This is basically what I thought of when I learned what a Bladesinger was in D&D.

So many people trying to be funny in comments, lol. But this guy is majestic af.

5 seconds. That's how long he survives on the battlefield. 5 seconds. If he's lucky.

Never in my life have I ever seen someone so balanced of spirit and deserving of personal power my brother, master.

I now know someone I'll need in my zombie apocalypse team. That's the melee man right there.

So... Blizzard needs to make a character for Overwatch just so they can have this as their sitting emote.

At first I was like "This is contact-juggling, but those are not swords." Then I was like "Now they're on fire so... I'll allow it."

hold my beer.

Dude, Kuma Films you should enter America Got Talent. He look like a type of person that will win the whole thing. You doing something that most people can't do.

I could seriously watch this guy all day.

There were no swords present in this video. +3 for the balance, +2 for the music, -20 for lying.

He is so graceful. They are like an extension from himself.

This is the creator of wizardofflow in case you didn't know. Highest quality flow company out there.

"This Guy's *Wizard Staff* Skills Are Crazy Impressive!"

Whats amazing is that he can find the center of balance on that thing with ease.

I'm really astonished at these comments. It's easy to complain; not so easy to create. I think this is a freaking awesome video that showcases crazy impressive skills, no matter how you categorize them.

LOL "Contact Swords"?!? Nice man.

Lets not sugar coat it, those are wands

This is how he defends his virginity

As Doctor Strange would say..... "TEACH ME."

by far the best one of these is right here... good job guys!

Cool, now let's see it with lightsabers

It looks impressive, but these are definitively no swords...

Holy cow that was beyond satisfying to watch.

As a contact staff performer, I was like "yeah this guy is pretty good" until 1:56 hit, that was slick as hell

* mutes the video *

The force is strong with this one.

Them are some super close shots. I had this bizzar instinct to back up a few times. Thanks for the video.

I would never have imagined such a skill. I feel like a dinosaur --Gee! What will they think up next! Seriously, this man has such grace and a center to his every move. Wonderful!

I can't lie, I flinched a little at some parts HAHA

instructions unclear, burned down house

Whether you think they should be or not, these props are called contact swords. Neither the performer nor the video maker came up with that name, it's an industry standard. I'm stunned by his level of control over both swords in contact at the same time, and by his continuous matrix (which I have yet to fully master with swords). David Barron has seriously earned his title as the Wizard of Flow.

'So what do you do for fun' 'Well i go to the local park with my two sticks that have clear balls on the end and i dance to music that noone else can hear whilst balancing the sticks on random parts of my body' '....okay bye'

I thought I was going to see some sick sword fighting moves, not some high school marching band shit.

I've never heard it called a contact sword, in Chinese it is 飞叉儿 or the Flying Fork. It's pretty common in Beijing! I see old men breaking them out in the morning with far more vigor than this guy. I personally couldn't do much with it. I tried for a season but just didn't get the hang of it.

*_>60% of the comments:_*_ Those aren't swords._ *_>35% of the comments_*_ It's a baton/magic wand/staff._ *_>4% of the comments:_*_ He's a virgin._ *_>1% of the comments:_*_ Compliments/Approval of any sort._

From the Gandalf school of martial arts. Wait till he starts vocal training with - "You... Shall not Pass!" - "YOU... shall NOT pass!" - "You SHALL NOT pass"...

Music is so chill. Just as entertaining as what's going on in the video xD

He's still got all of his hair on his head so you know he's really good at this. Very cool video!

This video is a circus art named Contact sword or Floating sword, so please dont think Kuma films made a fake title. Actually the title is exactly what this circus art is named, nowhere in the title does it mention martial art or fighting. Contact Sword is a circus art-form where the artist manipulates a sword shaped object rolling around their body without the use a constant close handed grip. The art was innovated by the creator of the Flow-toys company. This is a performance art created for the sake of Fire or glow performance. Special materials are required to make the fire burn on the sword for several minutes. Kevlar fabric must be applied on the metal tube or blade to make the fire effect work. The art is a hybrid of Contact Juggling (body rolling with a clear ball) and Fei Cha (an ancient Chinese circus art that uses shaolin tridents rolling around the body to create a magical effect.) Many circus arts are created from using martial weapons in a creative way, nobody is claiming any battle or martial application. if you see someone juggling knives, are you going to really complain that it wont work in battle, or will you just enjoy the show? There are only a handful of rare videos of this specific circus art on the internet, but there are thousands and thousands of Martial art sword form videos on the internet. Kuma Films make great videos of interesting and unique art-forms, people come to their channel to see awesome things that are not yet mainstream and difficult to find elsewhere. and make no mistake, learning Contact sword requires as much or more skill and practice then martial sword style, and the only one you can hurt is yourself, lol.

Anime protagonist: **dosent know how to use a weapon** Anime protagonist after 1 day of training:

"Our swordsmen are highly skilled and well trained." The swordsmen:

He would be a killer jedi 😅

Can't be real.. JUST CAN'T! Joking, awesome skills ;)

Hi kuma. Its 2 years later. And i indeed kept practecing the fire sword added the staff and dragon staff a d now too im also a dex based wizard. Lol. If i lived closer i love for you guys to film some of my deal.

Oh THAT'S a sword? Man I've been wrong my whole life!

Flowing like water like this sweet track.

.... pretty sure those aren't swords

"Follow the wind, but watch your back..."

Contact spinning TWO SWORDS ON F I R E. This guy is incredible!!!!

wow. the lack of respect in this comment section is astounding. what in the world is wrong with you people? enjoy this or dont watch it.

Someone needs to edit this to make those look like lightsabers XD

I wanna see this guy do that on a medieval battlefield!

Here again. This is awesome!

At first I thought this guy had somehow put a fortify two handed enchantment on his staves. Then he gave them a fire enchantment I realized that his skills were just legendary.

I want one like his, with the nice wrapping and the bulb at the top! Although a different color than clear. That's it. I'm embarking on a quest.

The music certainly reminds me of a village BGM from an old JRPG. Definitely soothing.

Where can I learn this? OMFG THIS GUY IS INSANELY GOOD!

this guy's good! haha. kudos to david barron.

There is not a single moment of my teenage life onward that I have not wanted to do this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't even know this was a thing, but now that I have seen it, I must have one of those instruments so that I can master this skill. Where can I acquire this magical staff?

anybody want to bet that Kirito from Sword Art Online couldn't even touch him

I could imagine someone getting this guy to have a small part in a movie after watching this awesome video. With a little makeup he would make a good Battle mage with this skill lol

you think he just woke up one day and was like "I know what to do with my life"

uh whys the word sword used? hes just twirling sticks....

Did anyone think this would.... dude this video was a trip

I thought "cool moves, but would they work with fire at both ends?" and then HE SET THE WHOLE FUCKING STICK ON FIRE LIKE HOW THE HELL U DOIN THIS BRO

Where was this filmed? The opening scene was quite beautiful.

Nothing Swordy about this, but freaking awesome regardless.

Damn it Legolas is out there teaching folks.

i know this dude he dropped out of my elementary school cause he couldn't hold a pencil. I'm glad he did something with his life

He almost as good as that bear we saw in the gifs
