My daughter just noticed that right now on ESPN 2 there are having lightsaber battles. Just thought that was kind of cool.

Thanks to L.A.K. for pointing this out to me in another thread. Smiley
Thank you for posting about it here too tx. -1 Everyone needs to know.
All that armor and no intentional chest thrusts though? I'll have to look up the official rules.
This is so cool!

Hey everyone.  Just sayin' hi, and that it's finally raining here...lol  Hooray!

Hey there, Rapine!  Nice! Rain would be good right about now.  What's the temp where you're at, Rapine?

You can have some of ours, we're flooding in spots, since we get dumped on just about every day.

Its cool and fun to watch...but to anyone here thinking about joining, (and this is my personal experience so it could and can very well be not group wide) they have a huge bias against Ultrasabers.  Again, this is all anecdotal.

Funny you should say that, TJ.  Ran into some rain on the way to work this morning and it's supposed to rain for the next week or two.  So it appears that I may have inherited your rain, if so, you are a powerful Jedi, indeed!

Good to know DT, I've joined their group and I have to admit that there is a huge bias against Ultrasabers, I believe that they recommend three other guys on their main site but the FB groups are pretty prejudice and hateful on anything regarding US.  I've met a handful who love US as well but they're just a handful out of over 6k.

I got a glimpse of it. To me, it just looked like kendo with light sabers. In my mind, what makes a great saber duel is awesome choreography. Not just "I touched you with my blade."

The owner of one of the "other guys" has a huge presence in the Saber Legion and he is not, shall we say, a pleasant individual.

That's pretty much what it is.  Some of the guys are sport fencers but mostly they seem to be Kendo.  I like the idea of basically having an actual dueling competition  , just with lightsabers.   But I would like it mixed with Role Play, sort of like Star Wars S.C.A.

Looks like maybe they are sour at US because they didn't/haven't/refused to sponsor them.

Then that is just choreography, which is great to watch, but not dueling.

To be fair, I never saw the higher ups bashing US...only members.  But yea after a debacle on the facebook page last year I left it.  I had the urge to start a different group.  One that had both dueling and chorography as separate events...but ya know. You need people, money etc.

I happened to be on that particular "other guys" Facebook page and he isn't pleasant around customers.  When someone is asking about an issue, they get banned and the posts are removed.  The members there are hateful towards US until they experience the owner's customer service and then leave the page or get kicked off to go buy sabers elsewhere.  I don't post or comment on that page, more of an entertainment page for me.

I'm considering on leaving the group myself.

It's possible, I've seen a few duelists with US products thought, not many but quite a few.

I have to agree with Logos after watching multiple bouts over a few years that it appears to be more like competitive Kendo.  If you want a sparring style that generally is more dynamic and athletic... then Ludo Sport competitions would be more interesting and fun to watch.  There is a chapter of this International saber school in San Francisco.

Several companies have created a sleek made for combat saber.  This is one version used by The Saber Legion.  I cannot show more than the tsuba on this forum.  Smiley

I agree with you and Logos. I was exited just to see lightsaber battles on TV, but It was kind of disappointing. Kendo is awesome, but just adding lightsabers isn't good enough. I was much more impressed with what I've seen of Ludo Sport.
