Janus,

Thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into the JA.
You have been a great teacher to the Students and your classes will be missed.

Your place with all the past greats of the Jedi Academy is well met as your name goes into the Hall of Fame.

Once again, thanks man - you've been a superstar. :)

Hey Janus. If the body was saying 'Whoa, no way dude, you need to regain your energies' You have to listen mate! You have to look after yourself, or you'll be no good to anyone.

Those that showed up messed about duelling for about half hour, and practiced what they had learned so far. I didn't stay longer than that.

I've had a few sessions with Malak, switching from style to style, he was very good :) I on the other hand was not :o. I need to work on my timing and aim BIG time, it's total rubbish :(

Malak and myself have agreed to meet up on a regular basis for a session and practice/catch up on what's taught/learned. Hopefully I'll improve. Any tips would be greatly appreciated Janus :D

Just a reminder Janus, you haven't posted last Saturdays enrollees and ground covered, for the Staff foundation class. It was week 1, okay.

See you in the Advanced class (in the morning for me).

In my Honest opinion Janus, it was a exciting 20 mins. I learned more about staff then I've ever known. The jumping was a really a +.

I never knew you could manipulate the buttons like that to get the end result. Really cool.

On the dance and sweeping ... That I had never seen once in my entire time on Jka. Looking forward to next weeks class and anytime in between when we can get together.

Hey Janus, perhaps Saturday you can go over some of the things in the *Mindful of the Force and your Surroundings* class.

Since I can't attend it normally.

Let me know, or I'll just ask you afterwards

Hi Janus, I read the class post and like it very much :)

I have a demo from week 2 (sent to TC) and I've uploaded to you via FTP.

Really sorry but today class (week 3)demo damaged or what...it's unplayable and causes a "nice" game-crash :(

I work on my timing hard and feel this little bit better...perhaps so perhaps not but as you said the instructor's eye make me to do lot of mistakes :D
Just kidding - you are a very good teacher IMO!

Hi Janus, I read the class report and the problem I found was one of clarification:

You wrote,
"Doing a counter clockwise "Dance" aka UpRight, Up, UpLeft, SWING+LEFT, DownLeft, Down against a Red Stancer doing DownRight, Right, UpRight swing, when timed perfectly would allow a Staffer to hit a Red Stancer in between swings 1 and 2, or 2 & 3, or after the 3rd."

To some it may not be clear you are talking about "movement" here, as apposed to staff swings. It makes sense to US no problem.

One question though, WHY are you giving away all our secrets lol.

Thanks for the kind words, my hard work didn't go un-noticed then. That's nice to know. I've been practicing like crazy :D And at one point didn't think I could do what you asked :) I found my "rhythm" in the end, and it all fell into place :)
