Hi everyone,

I was asked to join this forum by Jedi Jacobi, and after waiting a bit, decided to check you all out.

I am a very active member in the LED Lightsaber Community, and am a member of FX-Sabers.com, one of the premier sites for all things related to both Star Wars and replica LED lightsabers.

I am also a developer of one of the only LED Saber Combat Systems (along with fellow member, Novastar) and we are looking forward to bringing our system forward to all those interested.

Jedi Jacobi purchased one one of my Saber Combat DVD's (hope you are enjoying it, Jacobi!) and I am curious to see who here is involved in any type of saberplay.

Well, I got some reading to do around the forums here, so I look forward to meeting y'all and MTFBWY.

Hey Mark, glad to see you!

Yes I really AM enjoying your DVD.... I'm afraid I may soon be posting in the infamous thread over at FX-Sabers "Things I have broken with my lightsaber"...

It's been a busy summer, but now that the weather and the schedule are cooling off a bit, several of us in my area want to get together and do some "serious" practice. I bought 2 disks and gave one to a friend here.

Just to let people know, the DVD combines form and spins and some martial arts techniques. I really like the fluid motion of the strikes and parries and that they look like one is actually going for a target rather than just clacking blades together. It's staged combat, yes, but there is a *reason* for every movement. It is just more "artistic" than stuff I have often seen and incorporates principles of real Eastern and Western fencing/swordplay.

I also like the footwork, jumps, etc.... that's something that's difficult to see in the movies and I've had to rely on "practice" or "green screen" footage from the bonus material .... it's pretty limited.

Can't wait for the NovaCaine comprehensive system.

Again, welcome! Don't miss our "Lights, Saber, Action! " section near the bottom of the forum. Some of the more recent discussion where you are mentioned... apfoister.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lsa&action=display&thread=3366&page=7

Hi Caine!

I am a lurker on FX=Sabers mostly, but I know your name quite well. I keep telling myself I am going to get one of your vids one of these days.

Welcome to our corner of the galaxy!

Hey you two! I am glad to be here and thanks for the welcome.

I just released a 2nd DVD as well....
www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=25656.0

This is more of a canon compilation of the 7 forms of combat plus the addition of dual sabers and saberstaff techniques.

I am glad you are enjoying the DVD, Karyn.

Saberplay hard!
