First meeting of Club Battle Sabers!  I am taking the picture, but we had a great time.  We will eventually have a round robin tournament where members duel for sound and flash on clash lightsabers as prizes.  We train in sword combat and have full contact dueling rounds and group melee.




Here is our facebook group if you are in the Oakhurst, California area:

Those kids look way too young to be anything full contact imo.

When I did full contact medieval fighting even with wooden swords we wore full plate armour and you had to be 16 at least. This is just my opinion but I would have a think about health and safety and experience of participants, the point of full contact is generally that the practioners are experienced in light and semi for a fair while beforehand.

Just my opinion but there it is, congrats on forming a group though in the first place.

The Younglings are not doing full contact but instead, Half Speed.  We have 5-8 Adults in the group as well and we are the ones that do Full Contact. Smiley  These sabers leave welts like a paintball gun when they ht hard but that teaches you to better your guard.  We are having a blast!

Id say  true full contact they could potentially be much worse than a paintball gun,

Sorry though I didnt realise there were adults involved at all as obviously the site is open to 13 yr olds and up, my sincere apologies and good luck with your group Smiley
