Check out our Youtube page, and take a look at the vids there.  You're welcome to join our forum if you'd like to start submitting - TPLALXforum.boards.net.

Hello again, Nero,

I haven't heard anything back from Nonymous. Would you be able to provide me with any more information on staff training?

It's truthfully not a large part of our curriculum, more of a curiosity.  However, we've had some uses for it in the past, such as these:

This thread is intended to give some general information about the organization I'm involved with, Terra Prime Light Armory (TPLA).  To give you some background, here's a rundown on some of our key members (many of which are Resident Masters on this forum).

Headmasters:
Darth Nonymous - Formerly a RM here, resigned when running TPLA kept him too busy to contribute here.  Founder and Director of TPLA, extensive background of multiple decades in training and teaching Chinese martial arts.
Nero Attoru - That's me of course!  Background in sport fencing, including coaching at the collegiate level for multiple years.
Artorius Vidnyl - My buddy and an actual walking weapon due to a few decades of training in multiple arts (TKD, BJJ, kenjutsu, etc).
Uilos (aka Craig Page) - Our Lore Master and founding member of the Rogue Alliance in NYC.  Also our expert in stage combat and choreography.
VorNach - Founded TPLA along with Darth Nonymous, extensive background in HEMA (German Longsword in particular).

Knights:
Darth Telos - Runs The Gathering of Sabers (TGOS) in Syracuse, and has decades of experience teaching Chinese and Filipino martial arts.
Harbinger (Jeff) - Runs a kenjutsu dojo, extensive background in Japanese swordsmanship.
Tanq (Rick) - Formed a saber group in Columbus, OH called Orbital Saber Arts.  Background is in various Chinese and Japanese sword styles.


Anyway, hopefully that gives you an idea of our qualifications.  As I mentioned briefly, we currently have a few different physical locations where you can learn lightsaber combat (Syracuse, Columbus, Ann Arbor), and outside of those locations we have many Learners in Exile who train with us online.  They start as Initiates and train Shii-Cho to completion, at which time they move into the Apprentice group to study the next three Forms.  This is accomplished largely via video submissions on our forum (PM me if you want details on joining).

Our use of the Seven Forms, as many of you know, is a progression from the absolute basics to the most advanced concepts.  Here's a basic rundown of how that works.

Form I (Shii-Cho):  Initiate level, teaches the essential core of lightsaber combat (cuts, parries, movement, etc).
Form II (Makashi):  Apprentice level, teaches elements of blade on blade interactions.
Form III (Soresu):  Apprentice level, teaches defensive concepts (orbits and more parries).
Form IV (Ataru): Apprentice level, teaches offensive concepts (power generation).
Form V (Shien and Djem So):  Knight level, brings together previous concepts into a cohesive combat method.
Form VI (Niman):  Headmaster level, takes Form V to a new level by incorporating advanced techniques.
Form VII (Juyo):  Headmaster level, breaks the structure to allow the swordsman true customization of combat techniques.

Any questions or interest, please feel free to contact me!  I'm essentially the most active of my TPLA colleagues on here, so I'd be happy to get anyone set up with our program.  I highly recommend at least checking it out, if you're interested in learning how to use the lightsaber (for any purpose).
awesome👍

Ok…So I've checked this out a few times and I'm completely baffled where/how to begin. Do I just try and copy the Form 1 videos? How does this work?

I am seeing this is something I'd like to get into.  I would be about as green as they come.  I have no martial arts or sword training.  I do however have a saber.  I just need an appropriate length blade, lol

current saber : Initiate v4 with fire orange blade, soon to have Obsidian v3 sound and av switch installed

wishlist dream saber:  Dark Initiate v5 with gold claws, with most of the black anodizing removed to create a custom look

Light or dark points appreciated as warranted, My alignment will remain more or less neutral

I've just discovered it, and from now I'll be following your YouTube channel very closely. Exactly what I've always wanted, genuine lightsaber combat techniques!

To walk the line between light and dark is not balance, but compromise.

To control the dark side is to be above its control over you, to be above anger, aggression, greed. To confront and master your fear.

True balance is found in virtue, belief, and control. With these, a Jedi can do anything.

I am intrigued too. I have watching Nonymous's breakdown of Jar'Kai most closely. And have committed the basics of that discussion to memory.

unfortunate that none of the TPLA peeps really don't respond much on this thread. I seriously need to find someone to teach me here in nj.

No cost. Aside from the Patience, Practice, and Perseverance requested of a TPLA student, training is 100% free.
