Keep in mind that this is a very physically active sport, that involves walking and running, a lot of arm movement, and is practiced outside and at night with glowing, moving light sources. Some sabers also have options that cause flashing or sounds upon impact. If any of those could cause problems, please contact our leadership before joining.

Send us an email, message our Facebook page, or fill out the form above with as much detail as possible and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can! We’re a non-profit group and volunteer our time for shows and performances. We ask that you notify us two months before a performance is to take place so that we have enough time to properly prepare.
