How do I get into this?

[HeClearlyLikesIt]

I'm looking to get into dueling and such, but I really have no clue how to get started. I have a stunt saber and another sound saber on the way, but when this quarantine stuff is over, I'm hoping I can get into this. Any suggestions?

you can always do an internet search to find local clubs that duel or you can look on the sparring map thread to see if there is anyone close to you. 

Here is the link to the Sparring partner thread

Hope you find someone to spar with

You also want to check TPLA for dueling, sparring, spinning and most important - guides! They have plenty of material about the lightsaber forms, their application and interpretation in real (martial arts) life and also do's-and-don't's Just don't start and think you can do it on your own without any information. Always use a guide, be it online or face-to-face!

And get some safety gear - you will need it

Like martial arts safety gear?

Rather fencing or hockey gear and some shoulder/chest protection plates. Those blades (especially the Heavy Grades) are pretty nasty when they hit you...when you watch the recorded TPLA Live! shows on their YouTube channel, you can see that Masters Nonymous and VorNach wear quite professional sabering gear.

So TPLA is a youtube channel?

TPLA or Terra Prime Light Armory is an organization dedicated to sabering Here's their website: https://sites.google.com/site/terraprimelightsaberacademy/terra-prime-lightsaber-academy

And here's their Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TerraPrimeLightsaber/videos

The Founders Darth Nonymous and VorNach are two of the Resident Masters here on the forum, although not very active anymore.
