The Apprentice visits - first sparring with Headmaster Nonymous

[Darth Sabre]

Hello fellow saber-enthusisasts.

A month ago, a dream came true for me. Those of you who have lurked around here for some years may know how I started my venture into lightsaber combat on this forum with Headmaster Nonymous, Headmaster Nero Atturo and others from TPLA. For over 5 years now, I have wanted to meet him in person, which is not easy when you live in Germany. 

Finally, on January 7th, the day had finally come to meet my mentor. And, after years of solo training in the garden, I got MY VERY FIRST SPARRING EXPERIENCE at last.

During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting the legendary sabersmith Darth Alice and my fellow TPLA Apprentice John.

This was such a great experience and pleasure and I am now totally hooked and looking for a sparring partner to intensify my training.

Thanks to Headmaster Nonymous for making this stay something I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.

Very cool

[Master Medwyn]

An epic convergence in the Force that is!
Thank you for sharing!

[Master Nero Attoru]

I can't pretend I wasn't a bit jealous of this... seemed to be an awesome time!  For the record, Darth Sabre here has been working tirelessly for years with us at TPLA, and all his training shows here.  Darth Nonymous was quite impressed with Sabre's abilities.

[Master Seblaise]

Seems that you had a lot of fun

[Darth Sabre]

Darth Nonymous was quite impressed with Sabre's abilities.

Was he, then? Before, during or after he smacked me on the head for approx. 100 times?

[Master Nero Attoru]

Not sure, but he did indicate great faith in your abilities!  We all share his opinion.

[Darth Sabre]

Just kidding. After all, it was the first time fighting and it surely felt like the first time. So thank you for your kind words, Headmaster Nero. They mean a lot to me!
