Hello All!
No less than four months ago I found out that there is an annual lightsaber battle in NYC. A week after that I learned that there is an entire Culture of people that meet-up, spare, and hold events. And about a day ago I discovered a website that you can actually build, customize, and create your own lightsaber!
I have been a SW fan for longer than I can remember. From my brother, and I sword fighting with $2 carnival swords with no guard because its just a cheap piece of plastic, to swinging around a fluorescent bulb, and buzzing because it looks just like a lightsaber.
I was always fascinated with the form, and fun of lightsaber play.
I would just like to thank you all in my own way for your dedication, and introduce myself to the forum. Don't want to start posting, and people wonder "where did that guy come from?" I plan on creating my own lightsaber, after I have read, learned, and gotten through the info so that I feel comfortable in making the right choice. I live in the Central NJ area, and (now that I know things like this exist) will be participating in sparing, battling, and any other events that distance will allow.
Once again thank you, and Happy New Year!
Nice to meet you Hero.
I look forward to your first saber endeavor.
Feel free to ask questions but make sure you take a look through the search, I assure you many of the questions you may have, have been answered by the community.
