I wanted to take a moment to share a new adventure for myself and *hopefully* my surrounding communities.

Up here in my mid-western Wisconsin  home of Shawano( Shaw-no), i’m opening a studio for learning and developing saber artistry/ choreography that i’m calling the Shawano Saber Academy(check it out on FaceBook!) There’s more depth to it than that, but that’s my starting point in an effort to spread the awesomeness of our favorite galaxy far, far away- and to bring all ages and walks together to be a part of something bigger. 
I’m initially offering a beginner course to spinning( using UltraSabers, of course!!🤘🏻) and culminating in the presentation of your very own Custom UltraSabers Stunt Saber.

I’m trying to recreate the community that i’ve found here at US, and bring that to my and surrounding communities.  There’s such acceptance, enthusiasm, and encouragement here- and i feel that i can reach out to so many people to foster those same things through the common love for StarWars and lightsabers in general. I hope it turns into something big for a lot of people🤞🏻

And now to the thank  you- THANK YOU!!!! To everyone at UltraSabers for their support and assistance in providing me with the best lightsabers in the galaxy!!(props to Marlena the Magnificent!!) And THANK YOU!!!! to everyone here on the forums for providing such an amazing environment to foster ideas and inspiration for so many different folks all over the world! And showing me what an online community SHOULD be- fellowship, enthusiasm, and encouragement aplenty!

Cheers to US and all of you in the US community! And of course may the force be with us all🤙🏻

Most epic regards:

Wow! That looks incredible! Shocked Now I wish I could move there from California just to join.

And yeah, Marlena the Magnificent Indeed. She is so helpful it's ridiculous.

Good luck! Smiley

Thanks, Gar-Wi! You should count yourself lucky to be in Cali! I know there’s some sparring and maybe even some artistry clubs over there, too!  That’s why i really want to get something going up here in the northwoods🤙🏻

And hey- cheers to you for really kicking up the dust and keeping this forum active! Point when i get to my computer fellow wielder!🤘🏻

Hi.  Really liking what you have done so far.  Your hard work is showing and coming together nicely.  Would stop by if I am ever visiting your area.  What's that furniture that looks like an inverted table ?  All those electrical outlets likely will come in handy.  The flags and doormat really set the SW sabering environment.  Please share where you obtained them.  That community is really fortunate that you are doing this.  MTFBWYA  Cheesy
