Title: Where do you practice in the winter? Post by: skribs on November 07, 2017, 10:56:55 PM It's starting to get into the wet season where I live, so practicing outside is quickly becoming not-an-option. Where do you practice in the winter?

Rain or Shine, I will train. Parks are definitely a good secondary. Im in my backyard with the different groups most of the time.

Title: Re: Where do you practice in the winter? Post by: Darth Cephalus on November 08, 2017, 10:37:44 AM What sabers do you use out in the rain? My beater pair of dark initiates. For heavy rain, I may wrap them in silicone fix it tape to waterproof them. It just takes a strip over the button and another on the blade just above where it goes in to the saber. If you like, you can use a third to seal the pommel or an O ring. At that point, you can pretty much throw it in a pool, not that I would suggest that. Title: Re: Where do you practice in the winter?
