We are so pleased to announce Basin Saber Academy, the newest addition to our Lightspeed Saber Family!
This team, based in Klamath Falls, Oregon, was started when a couple of friends with no fencing experience bought some Ultrasabers and decided they wanted to learn how to fence with them. They started out by learning traditional epee fencing from a local teenager, until the group switched to the Lightspeed Saber method.
Their Captain, Kevin Fournier, bought two of every piece of gear to ensure that there would always be enough equipment for them to practice and welcome new members. They’re a small group currently, ranging from teenagers and teachers to programmers and pastors. Most of the year they practice indoors, where they pup Star Wars playlists through the speakers and have fun.
No one in their current member list has any martial arts experience, so they’re all learning together which makes them a great group for newcomers.
If you’re in the area and interested in joining, find them at the United Evangelical Free Church, 3333 Beverley Way, Klamath Falls, Oregon, Saturdays 9:30am-12:00pm.
Please help us give them a warm welcome in the Discord and find them on Instagram and Facebook at BasinSaberAcademy for more information.
