It is a first step and i hope other federations will follow the move.
It will take time i think. The Savate federation is not ready and the head of the comittee told me that lightsaber is not serious
Fact is that in many Savate club, we practice lightsaber as well as canne but it is not official...
I hope the Fencing federation will have a lot of new practicioners to prove that lightsaber can be « serious » ...
yes I hope so ! Even if there isn't other federation, It might be cool if Fencing Federation open their mind to other weapon (2 handed, sword, staff, spears) for lightsabers.
I saw there is now only 1 hand style in many club. They could copy the kendo style too ! :p
good news to come I think :p
