Thanks we try. Goal is to have fun and be safe. Before we started kind of the teaching portion of the practice a guy got hurt like bad. He made a leap at some one and landed on one leg. He was a big guy and his knee went the wrong way. Now one of the things we go over is where your feet should be. Foot work is just about as important as blade work.

Caine, thank you.
I have tried to form a group or join one in my area for awhile now.
Your post gave me ideas and inspired me in the group forming area.

Some good advice there.
I'm trying to start a saber club and it's not an easy thing to do.

What is the best way to find people if you do not have a group of friends?

check the groups section and see if any near you, FB isn't a bad search either.

Yeah, FB is generally a good place to start... or there's the Giant list of saber clubs thread for reference, though I don't know how updated it is... ...Speaking of which... Admins / Mods, I request a club detail update for my location in Melbourne, Australia. The group currently known as VicSabers will be shortly disbanding. I've reformed a new group called the Southen Rogues Saber TCC (Theatrical Combat Corps) Details here: Page: https://www.facebook.com/SothernRoguesTCC/Group discussion: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SouthernRoguesTCC/ |

Okay, so I have in my possession or at my disposal 8 ultrasabers, and to quote Everett Ulysses McGill...
"Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!"
It's more like an hour from everywhere, but you get the idea. Country community (they call it a city, HAAAA!) where getting high, drunk, and watching tractor pulls are the highlights of the realm.
What I'd like to do is start a group of obviously amateurs (because we're an hour away from all the weapon dojos too) and train maneuvers, orbits, choreography and something SaberFit-ish, but have dueling sessions for senior members while junior members can concentrate on (for reasons of safety) choreography and (maybe) light sparring. This also allows for younglings (can I use that without being smitten by Lucas force-lightning?) to have the cheaper sabers.
How feasible do you think such a concept is? I know I used to enjoy sparring with my kid on the banks of the Ohio River with those cheap plastic collapsables, and I'm pretty sure I can get at least 5 interested not including small children. Even if we weren't doing this for profit, would I need some sort of release of medical liability form in case of injury?
Thoughts, comments?

I suggest good padding, a disclaimer form just cause who knows. can always use TPLA format for good form and practice (TPLA is a facebook group.)
spin zone tutorial isn't a shotty idea either.

Thanks for the info bigBear. This is still in the planning stages, and we planned on doing something for armor, definitely headgear and armored gloves at the very least.
We are also thinking of incorporating LED lit Frisbees into a sport heavily influenced by the disk wars in TRON. When I was a kid, some friends and I took disc golf disks and took them onto a baseball diamond. One guy in the middle with a few hit points more than the guys on the bases, and a modifier if the "monkey in the middle" opted to use a weapon or shield. There were more rules, but you get the idea.
Considering that there is plenty of opportunity and devices for LED style sporting now, and a few geeks at home who are toying with the idea of embracing their inner nerd, we may be incorporating that into the club too.

For anyone interested in starting their own group, I highly recommend at least looking at Terra Prime Light Armory (TPLA). As BigBear mentioned, we have a Facebook group (Learners in Exile), and now we have a forum as well. We use the forum to train our Initiates and Apprentices, they submit videos of their progress which the instructors view and critique. If anyone has questions, or interest, feel free to shoot me a PM!
By the way, we're working on a more condensed version of our curriculum which centers around sparring specifically. It's going to fall under Djem So, and will be a bit different from the involved process through the Initiate and Apprentice stages. I'll let you all know when it's finished!
