So the place where I learn sabers was recently featured on AOL "In the Know" for a segment on "LUMINA," which is a combat choreography based sport developed by the head instructor here  This was the segment. Thought I would share!

The first season just finished Guy with the green saber in the bandanna ended up taking first place. "Thom" who you see interviewed was second. |

Is it just me or do the ladies seem to prefer the staff?

None of the Ladies in this video actually specialize in staff even though the clips where they're shown they're using. "Uzel" and the tiny blonde one both typically use single saber and the tall skinny girl is primarily a dual wielder, but there are certain choreographies that are written specifically to be done with staff, which are the ones they're doing in the video. Only staff specialist we have is the guy you see using it the most in the video. |

I see, you switch weapons depending on the choreography. I wish we had something like this here. But we don't. |

If you go to their website, they also have tutorials for many of the "CMs" (Choreographed Movements) to learn online. |

They're currently putting together a CM (Choreographed Movement) for Dual Sabers VS Staff based on some of the moves from the Force unleashed game. Anyone can actually put together a LUMINA chapter in their area feel free to PM me for info if you're interested. |

I don't really have the resources for that... plus I'm sure It'd end up just being me anyway, even the martial arts places seem to struggle. |

Sorry to hear about things like that struggling in your area TJ  |

I saw this video a couple days ago. That's super impressive! It's awesome that you can learn in such a great school! All of the people there are awesome! We call it the saber fam <3 Super tight community. A lot of them also participate in the Saber Guild and/or Saber Legion Chapters here, so you get a wide variety of perspectives and experiences |
