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!
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.
+Belbecat can't blame them for not knowing what contact swords are, but we can blame them for not googling the term before trying to boast their ''superior'' knowledge of blade weapons. I've never seen a vacuum cleaner, clean a vacuum.
except after every touchdown when they kick the ball, or the start of the game, or at every 4th down but still I guess I get your point, still this is baton twirling imo swords are sharp:p
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.

Ok, I admit that might be true, but have you ever seen true sword fights on the streets these days? ´Cause I definitely haven´t. So here´s the perfect tip for going onto "the battlefield": Buy yourself a weapon that ain´t out of real use for about a century, and don´t mess with artists because they aren´t warriors. Or can you really imagine ANY sword fighter surviving for more than a few seconds on, for example, any battlefield within syria right now?
Perhaps this is a very young Elminster Aumar, The Great Oversorcerer (from Dungeons & Dragons and the Baldur's Gate series). forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Elminster_Aumar
yeah id give him a second tops. 1) he isn't moving fast 2) swords require edge alignment, and rigidity in order to be effective in combat. 3) He'd probably end up dying if he did that neck move with a sharpened blade.
notice the black part of the staff is the only thing touching his neck if it was the other part which would have been the blade he would probably have slit his neck
Awesome, it seems that the sword is moving by itself! I think it would be great if you start recording some interviews with the players of your videos. Why they started doing what they do, and stuff like that.
Marcos Santos Woah, programmable LED nunchucks! Also something mainstream like an poi video would be awesome, especially watching it slowed down and doing LED visuals. Actually just looked up LED nunchuck poi, and it's amazing.
I'm imagining him leading the group into Hogwarts for the triwizard tournament. Much more impressive than pounding them into the ground and sparks flying out. Imagine how much they'd save on CGI
Martin Hall What Basil said; you generally don't have the time or angle to 'see' the centerline, but you can feel the 'tug' while it's rolling and know where gravity wants it to go.
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?
***** FlippinSweet TV Thank you, fine gentlemen. I'll go check my local Starbucks and see if he's still around. He may not want to give them up, though...he becomes more powerful the more staffs he has.
+pirotess2 I think they are called swords because they do resemble swords with no guard and an oversized pummel (most likely used to shift the balance of the "swords" closer to the end and probably makes them easier to control)
There are many similiar weapon in Asian, exsample, Testusbo of Japan, it has pummel and no guard, but was never be called sword, instead it is called "iron staff" or truncheon / club in English term.
+Matthew Reynolds when baton twirlers can move 2 "batons" periodically around there body at the same time while keeping consistent movement, then we can call it baton twirling
I know this is an old comment but if you're still interested in learning flow I'd suggest starting with contact staff then move to contact sword. Contact staff and sword are very simliar but with contact staff, you often have more room to make mistakes and there are many more tutorials. Once your good at contact staff you just transition the same skills over to sword but learn to do them on a smaller surface. This sword and my recommended contact staff are from Wizards of Flow. The practice contact staves are around $150 but a quality staff goes a long way in teaching you and it's full carbon fiber so you can do acrostaff techniques as well. Which is basically flipping on the staff or putting your full body weight on it.
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.
This is cool and impressive. I didn't know this even existed. Whoever directed this needs to show little restraint in all the theatrical camera movements. It distracts from the performance, which is good enough to stand on its own.
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.
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.

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.
doublea422 make it yourself. You need a wooden staff, tennis racket grip and a weight for one side. If you wanna make a fire one, maybe use some metal coating for the stick and put a kevlar rope around it
solokom How so? I would imagine contact swords as swords that come into contact with something, either a human or some other medium. The objects in this video are not swords, they are sticks or canes.
you totally said it right, why don`t you get it? these swords can come into CONTACT with humans WITHOUT killing them. That`s why they are called CONTACT swords. to differ them from normal swords, with which contact might kill you.
solokom Yeah we get it smarty. But they look nothing like swords more like rods. Should be called contact rods. You can craft swordlike things that do not kill you and still be swords. But these are not.
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!
no these are not swords, they are what you call contact swords they have no actual blades as they aren't meant to cut peoples fucking arms off instead they are unique contact staff/fire juggle trainers and are to just look cool. atleast read the damn video title all the way before hating on the video. or atleast find out what a contact sword is before saying they lied about them being swords when they never once said they were swords they just said they were contact swords, big difference. and before you say they shouldent have said contact Swords then well thats not this videos fault its whoever came up with the names fault.
They're called contact swords because the entirety of the object besides the part you actively hold and juggle can be set ablaze, whereas a contact staff has a singular wick at the very end, not consisting of a majority of its length. It's really that simple, get over it already.
I don't care who coined the term or why, but an object has a variety of uses or characteristics attached to a convenient label for identification. Confusing porcelain with mercury or tic tacs with tetrapods could be troubling, right? A sword has an old and specific definition deriving from the material, length, origin, shape, and purpose that most educated people are familiar with. The performance was pretty cool and inspiring, but there were no swords present in this video. It's really that simple, get over it already.
someone needs to edit this video (take out the flame parts) and add in the light saber effects and speed it up ever so slightly. best Jedi moves ever XD
-Which MMORPG is this?- What place is this? It looks amazing. Those beautiful mountains along with such plain green land is something you only see in games and drawings. Also it looks like the staff is moving on its own breaking the laws of motion and gravity.
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.
Tbh its not swords, you cannot do it with sword blades, not sword skills, its more of a dance bc of the graceful nature, glass balls is the only thing allowing him to do it, and lastly its a great video for a graceful staff spinning but the title has sword skills so i understand the negativity. If you understand clearly its like a lie with the title or in other words click bait
I was speaking more in terms of the way people are acting or more like, RE acting. so its not the proper name, maybe he didn't know. to me the arguments started below are unneccessary. I understand every one has their opinions but it all comes off as rude at this point... I mean, I'd like to see every one just enjoy the idea of what he's doing. especially to those of us who have never seen some thing like this, it's sort of magical.. basically, kindness prevails in this instance... 💕 you have a good day.
PS- Alice InCrazyLand does have a point though, bunch of idiots getting annoyed at their own lack of intelligence. That IS the proper name "Contact Sword" for fire spinners/jugglers based off the glass balls used in "contact juggling". Admittedly I came here expecting real swords too but at least I know it was my own misinterpretation, and it's still mesmerizing.
Yes. Because traditionally they use swords but in the west we use sticks that we set on fire but we kept the name because fire sticks is something else
"Contact sword" is what these props are called, and they're not pretending to be anything else. Neither the filmmaker nor the performer chose the term, it's an industry standard. You'd have a hard time getting accurate search results if you called them anything else.
One day you guys are going to realise pineapples aren't made of pine or apples either. Actually, brb, just going to some boxing videos to complain that their rings are square.
+benbangui he would be like those flashy kung fu guys in movies, as they jump on the scene, start doing lots of cool looking moves and then the main protagonist takes them down just with one simple move
***** My top 4 recommendations for bali flipper channels are Nardath, Balisick, Bitehandle, and ZzsiegzZ. Not sure where they are located but I'm sure if you contact them they would let you know. Where would be the most convenient for them to be located?
Eric R. Awesome, thanks for the help. I've looked into Nardath but i'll definitely check out the other guys. We're currently in Utah at the moment so probably somewhere in the western region since we'll most likely be driving.
Look to all of you that wish to talk shit on him about its not a sword and so on please understand the idea behind it first. It is a form of sword with a extended handle and a weighted ball on the end for balance and manipulation. Also note that its made for show not to sword fight with or anything of that nature. The Word "Contact" in "Contact Sword" stands for the idea of the sword moving around your body making "Contact" with different parts of the body. Learn the meaning behind everything before you talk shit. Otherwise you are making your selfs look like the idiots not him. Would love to see any of you do what he does in this video.
+Michael Lineberry I know this. I understand this. But even still, it's not a sword. When people come expecting something with a sword, they expect a sword. Not a baton. Not a cane. Not staves or poles or anything like that. He has good skill. But this title mentions swords and he did not deliver. Thus, he has failed our expectations in that regard. I don't know how to do anything close to this (in case you intend to tell me not to talk shit if I can't do it), but he is a misleading little shit.
if the world ends after everyone uses up the surplus of ammunition a sword will be a good weapon to have and I do believe that certain militias still carry short swords as a fail safe
It's the same shit. The point is to control the object so you never touch the dangerous part. You obviously don't practice with real swords because fucking up could kill you.
lol no, this is not the same as sword fighting at all, this is juggling. Don't get me wrong, he's real good at juggling but it's not sword fighting. This does not help at all with controlling the tip of a blade for a stab or the angle of a blade for a cut, it teaches you nothing about blocking or parrying, and if you tried anything remotely similar to what he is doing in a sword fight you would get yourself killed. Sure you might use something somewhat similar to a contact sword in training but you would never be doing anything close to the movements he is.
No he is completely right Im practicing Kendo for 3 years now and that what hes doing in the Video you can nearly never use any of that and well OF COURSE you never touch the Dangerous part (by the way its called BLADE) because if you would touch it, it would obviously cut you and well by juggling a Blade you cant block any attack of an enemy because he would directly attack you while youre juggling your sword around your head And well you are the arrogant idiot because you dont even know a little bit about the art of sword fighting and he never said anything about him (The guy in the video) being bad at that what hes doing there he only said whats true and that is that juggling never helps you in a sword fight because that are two different things and i already know that im going to get insulted by you but you know what ? i dont care because i know that TMFlesh,greebat and i, Yeah we are right :)
because of the design. You have the basic "sword" parts and balance; hilt, pommel, and blade. Although in this there's no real blade, unless you are referring to the part that's lit on fire.
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.

Batons are a different prop, where the weight is distributed evenly. This is called contact juggling.
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.

And then he died.
I would abandon the match and disconnect...
yeah id give him a second tops. 1) he isn't moving fast 2) swords require edge alignment, and rigidity in order to be effective in combat. 3) He'd probably end up dying if he did that neck move with a sharpened blade.
notice the black part of the staff is the only thing touching his neck if it was the other part which would have been the blade he would probably have slit his neck

Bk Suntzu That is what i was gonna say but you said it already.
Bk Suntzu it clearly says "CONTACT sword skills". so both of your comments are obsolete.
solokom How so? I would imagine contact swords as swords that come into contact with something, either a human or some other medium. The objects in this video are not swords, they are sticks or canes.
you totally said it right, why don`t you get it? these swords can come into CONTACT with humans WITHOUT killing them. That`s why they are called CONTACT swords. to differ them from normal swords, with which contact might kill you.
solokom
Yeah we get it smarty. But they look nothing like swords more like rods. Should be called contact rods. You can craft swordlike things that do not kill you and still be swords. But these are not.
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!
Nothing Swordy about this, but freaking awesome regardless.
There were no swords present in this video. +3 for the balance, +2 for the music, -20 for lying.
contact swords dumbass
no these are not swords, they are what you call contact swords they have no actual blades as they aren't meant to cut peoples fucking arms off instead they are unique contact staff/fire juggle trainers and are to just look cool. atleast read the damn video title all the way before hating on the video. or atleast find out what a contact sword is before saying they lied about them being swords when they never once said they were swords they just said they were contact swords, big difference. and before you say they shouldent have said contact Swords then well thats not this videos fault its whoever came up with the names fault.
so...a staff?
They're called contact swords because the entirety of the object besides the part you actively hold and juggle can be set ablaze, whereas a contact staff has a singular wick at the very end, not consisting of a majority of its length. It's really that simple, get over it already.
I don't care who coined the term or why, but an object has a variety of uses or characteristics attached to a convenient label for identification. Confusing porcelain with mercury or tic tacs with tetrapods could be troubling, right? A sword has an old and specific definition deriving from the material, length, origin, shape, and purpose that most educated people are familiar with. The performance was pretty cool and inspiring, but there were no swords present in this video. It's really that simple, get over it already.
So many people trying to be funny in comments, lol. But this guy is majestic af.
This is how he defends his virginity
Samurai Jack he defends the shire from pillow pants and listerfinds alike.
I'm 110% sure he gets way more tail than you do.
And I'm 110% sure he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Kyo Grey yeah deer tail cause he lives in the woods
I need to make him my sensei.
someone needs to edit this video (take out the flame parts) and add in the light saber effects and speed it up ever so slightly. best Jedi moves ever XD
like this...? th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
lol I literally saw that just after I finished typing that XD
haha nice
He is so graceful. They are like an extension from himself.
He almost as good as that bear we saw in the gifs
Now do it with a Lightsaber!
He did th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html :)
-Which MMORPG is this?- What place is this? It looks amazing. Those beautiful mountains along with such plain green land is something you only see in games and drawings. Also it looks like the staff is moving on its own breaking the laws of motion and gravity.
"Follow the wind, but watch your back..."
Dude this is not sword skills. He's obviously using Gandalf's magical staff.
A sword is just a fancy metal staff. :)
:D
was gonna say the same thing. no disrespect intended but the title is misleading
That's why after watching 3 seconds of this, I said "fly, you fool!"
Whaaa? He shafted Gandalf's to get that staff?
This is way less impressive than it should be. Those are not swords. Those are staves. You are contact staffing.
What about the fire lmfao
and hes got those clear see through objects for a lot easier balancing.....
Right. Just like how a sword has a pommel. It's a counter balance.
pommels aren't counterbalances for swords -_- they're caps that keep the handle attached.
they do both.
Just amazing.. your video inspired me to start flow the contact sword or "fire magic wand".. just WoW
Is this 100mm acrilic cristal like contact ball?
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.
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.
Tbh its not swords, you cannot do it with sword blades, not sword skills, its more of a dance bc of the graceful nature, glass balls is the only thing allowing him to do it, and lastly its a great video for a graceful staff spinning but the title has sword skills so i understand the negativity. If you understand clearly its like a lie with the title or in other words click bait
I was speaking more in terms of the way people are acting or more like, RE acting. so its not the proper name, maybe he didn't know. to me the arguments started below are unneccessary. I understand every one has their opinions but it all comes off as rude at this point... I mean, I'd like to see every one just enjoy the idea of what he's doing. especially to those of us who have never seen some thing like this, it's sort of magical.. basically, kindness prevails in this instance... 💕
you have a good day.
they're contact swords thats the point -_-
"enjoy this or dont watch it" < That makes no sense.
PS- Alice InCrazyLand does have a point though, bunch of idiots getting annoyed at their own lack of intelligence. That IS the proper name "Contact Sword" for fire spinners/jugglers based off the glass balls used in "contact juggling". Admittedly I came here expecting real swords too but at least I know it was my own misinterpretation, and it's still mesmerizing.
I now know someone I'll need in my zombie apocalypse team. That's the melee man right there.
LOL "Contact Swords"?!?
Nice man.
Yes. Because traditionally they use swords but in the west we use sticks that we set on fire but we kept the name because fire sticks is something else
"Contact sword" is what these props are called, and they're not pretending to be anything else. Neither the filmmaker nor the performer chose the term, it's an industry standard. You'd have a hard time getting accurate search results if you called them anything else.
It looks impressive, but these are definitively no swords...
CONTACT swords..... look it up they never said they were real swords
YEAH AND ANYONE IN UFC COULD BEAT THIS GUY!
They're meant for acrobatics and show, not combat. Dipshit.
If he enjoys the discipline, i guarantee you he would fuck you up with a real blade. Because he likely practices MORE than contact art.
he cut his neck a little bit
Hey Kuma Films, Could You Maybe do A toturial on how to do Those spinning thing whit the globe staff thing
Oh THAT'S a sword? Man I've been wrong my whole life!
Sawyer Ramsey its a contact sword..
Lets not sugar coat it, those are wands
staffs
Batons
sticks
Fushigi wands
Is that you Harry?
This is the creator of wizardofflow in case you didn't know. Highest quality flow company out there.
The first non-asian in Kuma's video ? :D
MrDestyny You haven't seen Formusa Freerunning then. c:
uh whys the word sword used? hes just twirling sticks....
They are called contact swords. That is simply the correct way to explain what he is doing.
Why not Contact Sticks?
why but why why why! haha
It's not correct just because some asshole decided to use the wrong word as a marketing gimmick. They're sticks.
because youd never come for flaming batons
what a beautiful artform. so graceful. well done!
One day you guys are going to realise pineapples aren't made of pine or apples either.
Actually, brb, just going to some boxing videos to complain that their rings are square.
What was the point of writing this comment other than to get some likes?
This guy would make a interesting Jedi character... That would die... But would still be cool.
+benbangui Coming soon
+benbangui he would be like those flashy kung fu guys in movies, as they jump on the scene, start doing lots of cool looking moves and then the main protagonist takes them down just with one simple move
Lol yup. Blaster to the chest lol
Music is so chill. Just as entertaining as what's going on in the video xD
Please do a balisong video
Eric R. We've wanted to for awhile. Who would you recommend and where are they from?
***** My top 4 recommendations for bali flipper channels are Nardath, Balisick, Bitehandle, and ZzsiegzZ. Not sure where they are located but I'm sure if you contact them they would let you know. Where would be the most convenient for them to be located?
Eric R. Awesome, thanks for the help. I've looked into Nardath but i'll definitely check out the other guys. We're currently in Utah at the moment so probably somewhere in the western region since we'll most likely be driving.
+Eric R. ERIC what are you doing here
Look to all of you that wish to talk shit on him about its not a sword and so on please understand the idea behind it first. It is a form of sword with a extended handle and a weighted ball on the end for balance and manipulation. Also note that its made for show not to sword fight with or anything of that nature. The Word "Contact" in "Contact Sword" stands for the idea of the sword moving around your body making "Contact" with different parts of the body. Learn the meaning behind everything before you talk shit. Otherwise you are making your selfs look like the idiots not him. Would love to see any of you do what he does in this video.
+Michael Lineberry well said :)
+Michael Lineberry I know this. I understand this. But even still, it's not a sword. When people come expecting something with a sword, they expect a sword. Not a baton. Not a cane. Not staves or poles or anything like that. He has good skill. But this title mentions swords and he did not deliver. Thus, he has failed our expectations in that regard. I don't know how to do anything close to this (in case you intend to tell me not to talk shit if I can't do it), but he is a misleading little shit.
Omg where was this filmed absolutely gorgeous!!!
all the sweaty weebs with they own swords going "this wont help in REAL combat" like nigga when will there ever real combat with swords again
if the world ends after everyone uses up the surplus of ammunition a sword will be a good weapon to have and I do believe that certain militias still carry short swords as a fail safe
Why wouldn't people or small militia just make their own bullets? Swords will never be used in large scale warfare until gundams are invented. :/
I thought I was going to see some sick sword fighting moves, not some high school marching band shit.
It's the same shit. The point is to control the object so you never touch the dangerous part. You obviously don't practice with real swords because fucking up could kill you.
lol no, this is not the same as sword fighting at all, this is juggling. Don't get me wrong, he's real good at juggling but it's not sword fighting. This does not help at all with controlling the tip of a blade for a stab or the angle of a blade for a cut, it teaches you nothing about blocking or parrying, and if you tried anything remotely similar to what he is doing in a sword fight you would get yourself killed. Sure you might use something somewhat similar to a contact sword in training but you would never be doing anything close to the movements he is.
TMFlesh So not only are you an idiot, you're an arrogant idiot.
Of course.
No he is completely right Im practicing Kendo for 3 years now and that what hes doing in the Video you can nearly never use any of that and well OF COURSE you never touch the Dangerous part (by the way its called BLADE) because if you would touch it, it would obviously cut you and well by juggling a Blade you cant block any attack of an enemy because he would directly attack you while youre juggling your sword around your head
And well you are the arrogant idiot because you dont even know a little bit about the art of sword fighting and he never said anything about him (The guy in the video) being bad at that what hes doing there he only said whats true and that is that juggling never helps you in a sword fight because that are two different things
and i already know that im going to get insulted by you but you know what ? i dont care because i know that TMFlesh,greebat and i, Yeah we are right :)
Well youre the best subject too show all humans that dumb people can only feel good when they are insulting other persons so thanks :)
Excuse me, but may I know the location of where this was filmed? It looks bloody amazing. Thank you!
Near Asheville, I believe.
but... will it blend?
Next video
.... pretty sure those aren't swords
boi
They're contact juggling swords
Contact Sword =/= Sword
Yeah I'm pretty sure like any kind of sword would be balanced a lot differently. And have like sharp dangerous edges
this would be pretty act at the circus rather
0:54-1:07
Warrior: Dude, your DPS is too low; we need more support!
Mage: Fine, I'll use the liquid demonfire...
nice acrobatics but where are the sword skills?
contact swords....idiots..
sword : sharp metal object used to rend flesh
staff : a stick
doesn't matter how you slice it those are not swords and that's an erifutible fact
because of the design. You have the basic "sword" parts and balance; hilt, pommel, and blade. Although in this there's no real blade, unless you are referring to the part that's lit on fire.

dream on...
