1. Get a bath towel, fold it into at least six layers, and set it on the floor (preferably a bare, hard floor surface, but carpet will work okay).
2. Remove your pommel.
3. Using both hands, hold your saber by the blade, near the pointy end.
4. Stand right next to that folded towel, facing it.
5. Raise your hands while holding the saber, as high as you can.
6. Bring the saber straight down on the folded towel, with reasonable force.
7. Nothing will have happened, so repeat steps 5 and 6 with increasing force until you see results.

a. get a 3-foot length of strong fishing line
b. tie one end of the fishing line around the top part of the emitter in a way so it will not slip off
c. bring the hilt with fishing line to a wide open field (at least 40 feet wide)
d. hold the untied end of the fishing line above your head

f. continue to increase the speed of your arm movement until something gives
