It’s Swords n Sabers, or, Pads n Padawans! This is a great entry point into Lightspeed Saber and padded weapon fighting.

Using our renowned squadrons competition system for both events, you’re sure to get tons of action no matter what skill level you’re at. You get a minimum 6 matches per entry, or as many as 12 if you choose to enter both events (dependent on number of entries).

The padded sword is an experimental event for us. Almost no equipment required, as even the padded swords will be provided to you, free of charge. You’ve got nothing to lose!

There is a 90 minute dinner break between events, so bring your own picnic dinner to eat in-between at the park.
