If you practice with lightsabers as much as I do, then you probably drop lightsabers as much as I do.
So I started doing this when I drop my lightsaber... I do 20 standard push ups for the Lost 20, and then I do 7 diamond push ups for the seven forms of lightsaber combat.
I call out the seven forms as I get to the diamonds.
Haven't figured out what to do for Sith yet.

20 PULL ups followed by 14 push ups with concrete slabs on your back, shouting out each of the seven forms twice. Then force them to run in place reciting the Jedi code.  |

Clearly the Sith answer is 20 push ups followed by a duel to the death against another apprentice to prove your strength and show your failure was not a sign of weakness.

I was trying to figure out a number that had something to do with Sith history... Hmm... I shall keep researching.
I need to get the book of the Sith.

Current class rule in Harrisburg, PA is - 5 pushups if your saber is dropped. Perhaps we'll up it sometime soon. I believe NYC has also done this. Personally I think it's a great idea.  |

I certainly drop my lightsabers less... Although, last night I kicked my lightsaber off the bed and across the room... This is why I can't have nice things

Rule of two: drop the weapon: two minutes of stance keeping. (Dewback rider: aka Mabu aka horse stance)
Stand with feet shoulder width +1/2 apart , feet parallel, sit down until thighs are parallel to the ground.
Place the saber across the thighs and keep it there for two minutes. If it falls from there you start again.
We rarely have this problem.

I've been doing those perfect push-up things almost everyday, plus I have a history with push-ups... I got this.

I also have a history with push ups. I love them. But they do not love me.
When I drop my saber, I also do the 27 push-ups.
I will begin to incorporate the 2-minute stance keeping as well.
I may have to add pull ups in there to change it up at some point.
Oh!! You also have to lay the saber across the backs of your hands as you do the push ups. Military style.

Lol it's far more innocent... I had gotten back from having dinner with a few friends and I took my saber off my belt and sat it on the bed while I checked stuff. Then I got up and flung it across the room with my foot. |

I agree, this is how it would really go down, but do to laws and whatnot, this may be frowned upon by some people in society. |

It's a lot easier to recover dropping your saber with a saber staff by rolling it on your foot and kicking it into the air. You could almost turn it into an attack if you wanted to.
Regardless, I like the idea, though I think I'll just do the pushups without saying anything in particular.

Sorry to say i was excited for this challenge so i could buff up, but havent done a single pushup since reading this post. Guess the pressure has me more cautious subconciously.

I would like to add, in the spirit of lightside and darkside, jedi and sith, yin and yang, yadda yadda yadda... that it may be wise to incorporate some sort of sith pulling exercise (maybe some sort of row) to compliment the jedi push ups. Thus, you may bring balance to the force, as well as your physical aptitudes. The horse stance is an excellent idea as well for lower body training.
