I *so* love said head pop. I am also so terrified of bruising myself with my sword, that I will not try it. Maybe someday. I am such a wuss.

Back on topic: Thumbs up for the Zamora DVD!! Don't know much is there on youtube.
For training: before my last sword dance I did more swats with light weights, to build up the leg muscles for sword with floorwork.
For keeping sword on head: candle wax on the balance point helped me a bit, but now I am going "naked sword" with no extras. Several people have recommended using surfboard wax on the balance point.
