Lightspeed blades break. It’s normal. But did you know that every Lightspeed blade counts for two? Follow our complete guide to get the most out of Lightspeed Saber.


STEP 1 - CONNECT TO US

We do different things in different places around the web, from our Instagram to our YouTube channel, where you’ll find the Lightspeed Saber Rogue Series, to our TikTok where you can enjoy short snippets from the show! But the place to talk to us is our international Facebook group.

 

STEP 2 - CONNECT TO OTHERS

Find individuals or teams near you!

 

STEP 3 - GET A SABER

You don’t technically need an actual LED saber to start learning but it helps to familiarize yourself early. We recommend the Rey-class for your first Lightspeed Saber. Check the weapon class page for regulations to make sure the hilt you purchase is Lightspeed legal.

Note that you do not need a Lightspeed blade to start practicing moves. You only need one once you begin competing. The standard blade that comes with your purchase should be fine for the time being.

 

STEP 4 - LEARN BASIC MOVES AND CONCEPTS

We have tons of free information available for Lightspeed Saber fencing. But if you’re practicing alone, you may want to learn our sequences. This is a growing library of technical exercises that help you fine tune your technique without a partner. You can do this on your own and evaluate yourself, or you can enroll in our program, where we’ll evaluate you to make sure you’re doing everything right. You can even get certified to evaluate others.

 

STEP 5 - GET EQUIPMENT

To do Lightspeed Saber fencing you need to be properly equipped. This activity is dangerous. Make sure that you have everything listed on this page. And don’t forget about a mouth and nose covering to protect yourself and others from spreading disease.
