Also, Khalis and I now have access to a camera. So, as soon as we've acquired proper sparring gear, we plan to start documenting EVERYTHING we do. : D

Great, cant wait to see what you come up with!!

Excellent! And point for the sparring gear! Check Play It Again Sports for dirt cheap pads and gloves. I have found amazing deals there.

Look forward to seeing your stuff.

Was at Big 5 Sporting Goods yesterday looking at gear. Most of the gear that I found that was good for this was the Lacrosse stuff. I mean.. REALLY good. The gloves were awesome. I'm going to pick some up after the holidays, along with the chest/shoulder armor and some forearm/shin guards.

Just having trouble finding the sparring helmets.

Edit: Here's a link to the gloves I was looking at:

Here's a link to the chest/torso gear. This isn't the exact model, but it's close:

And finally, the arm/elbow guards:

Lacrosse stick bags also coincidentally work really well for saber bags, four people in my group(s) use them. (One member got their saber bag autographed by Nick Gillard, ha!) I finally broke the zipper on mine after 4 years. Of course, depends on your blade/hilt length of course, but works well for my selection.

Good Tip! I will look into one!

Note: there is no padding inside mine:


So they just kinda rattle around in there.

And if hilt+blade is too long, you can remove the blade, but most of the time it's long enough to support my blades and hilts connected. Plus there's a nifty accessory bag and pockets on the side for toolkits and such.

Here's the modern version: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AA0ZDS/

It says "42 inches long" but my experience with the previous version is you can stretch it a little.

Mine carries my Ultrasabers Aggressor (Consular Green), Master Replicas Force FX Anakin Episode 3 (Blue), Ultrasabers Steel Stunt/Standard Issue Saber - Gunmetal Grey (SunRider's Destiny - Teal), Ultrasabers Phantom 1.0 (PVC) (Blazing Red) - separated into halves, a wooden bokken, a couple of extra blades, two Rocketfish (Best Buy) Rock Band lightup drumsticks (for evil plans to create an espada y daga setup), a lightup "lightsaber" M&M's candy holder (lightshiv! LOL) and my saber repair toolkit: Leatherman, electrical tape, hex wrenches, spare batteries, etc. ... and that's about it.

Probably exceeding the weight limit, but oh well

Unfortunately, they don't have any locations within a reasonable distance of where I live. However, I do have family that's around there and am not so old as to not ask for Birthday and Christmas gifts. lol

Well now... that IS ironic.

I believe it is "fitting", not ironic. Lucky, fortunate, unexpectedly cool yes. But it is not poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended.

I find it ironic, because I work there and yet have no more access to the items than anyone else, and must still save up my money to purchase any of the sparring equipment. So, it's contrary to what I expected when I took the job. : p

Very cool Veldryne.  Who is the guy who keeps using a reverse grip?  He seems to actually do fairly well with it, at least to my untrained eye.
