Saber Forum

A few months ago I brought in an ultrasaber set to my Shaolin school just to play around with, and the Shifu there ended up giving it a spin:

After some discussion and brainstorming, they decided that it may be a fun class to do. We had a pilot class this past Friday and it went very well. This coming Friday will be the first real class with it, and anyone interested is welcome to come!

Since this is a new class, we only have perhaps two sabers to spare. It'd be ideal if you brought your own saber, but worst case they have a lot of wooden stick swords that you can practice with. If this class is successful, it could become a regular thing. Would anyone be interested in coming this week or the following weeks?  ;D

Update: They created a new Instagram dedicated to the club. Videos will be added periodically.

Looks that you had a lot of fun ;)

Thanks for sharing

That looks like it was fun! 

It was a lot of fun! They just put up a short clip of a short combination we did. I'm surprised how fast the hour went.

Got a really nice video of a form we're working on:

Since it's getting crowded in the Friday class, we're beginning to do it on Saturdays as well. This weekend will be the first one, and it'll be free.

AWESOME! You may have heard me scream from Jersey! :)

Hi there, first time posting here. Just wanted to pop in here and say that I attended the Shaolin Saber Club class for the first time last night and was very impressed! Coming from a southern Shaolin background, I really liked the structure of the class and got a great workout, as well. If there was an actual Jedi Temple, I feel this would be very close to what they would teach. :) Basic lightsaber twirls and strikes were covered, with and without forward and backward movement, and there is even a Shaolin-infused lightsaber form, which I LOVED watching performed! I am looking forward to seeing how partner drills are covered and learning the entire saber form.

I would definitely recommend checking this class out!

It's been almost a year, so I decided to put together our various clips into a montage! Ben and I are both in there somewhere ;)

YES! Definately a like!
This is exactly what I love!
Thanks for sharing!

Agreed, I love the video as well!

This is a very nice montage Zeltulaj ....

Thanks for sharing and have a point ;)

How easy would this be for a complete novice to understand? This sounds like a blast

P.S. Any way this could be offered in New Jersey? ;-)

It does take some practice, nothing worthwhile is easily gained :). The sessions are an hour once a week, and I think after a few months you'd get the basics down, with a lot of finessing left to do. Everyone learns at their own pace though, and in the end it's all about having fun.

No plans for NJ at the moment, but we are thinking of doing an outing in the forest so maybe we'll take a trip eventually!

SOUNDS TERRIFIC! Points for you

Awesome. I trained in staff and the jian as well. Cool stuff here
