I’m excited to let you guys know I’ll be doing Yang from RWBY this year. It won’t be anytime soon since I still have to save up for some very special Ember Celicas that I plan on getting for this cosplay. in the meantime, I’ll be getting my friend to teach me some boxing in the next few months, mainly starting in April, so that I can do Yang some justice. I really want to be able to pull off some of the finesse in her boxing ability. It should make for some really fun gifs and promotional clips ^.^
This will be a really difficult task for me since I’m VERY awkward physically and it takes me a long time to learn anything physical >.<. From what little I know about boxing and what I’ve been told, finesse is something that’s really hard to achieve even for professionals. “It’s one thing to know how to fight, it’s another thing to look good doing it” seems to be the general consensus. Lucky for me, I won’t be needing to do any actual fighting xD, and my best friend has all the finesse in the world so I just need to focus on getting the moves right. Wish me luck!
In the meantime, you can expect a Ruby video for ManyVids very soon :3
Love to see how much finesse you’d pull for that maneuver. I’m a Kickboxer myself so I know the foot work with the arms is something of a feat itself. But I’d like to see your work on it. Give yang some justice & continue to follow your passion in what you love.

Thank you so much for leaving that motivating message ^.^ My friend is extremely talented when it comes to finessing things so I will definitely try my best not to waste a good opportunity to do Yang as much justice as she deserves. Proper weight shifting and kinetic transfer and all, even if I don’t actually learn HOW to fight for real, the least I can do is perform the movements with visual beauty as much as I can. I really hope I can do it cuz I’m pretty awkward physically so we’ll see! Thank you again!
