Fans of the Star Wars films will be delighted to discover that they can learn how to fight like a Jedi at the LudoSport Lightsaber Combat Academy (also known as LSCA). All that one needs to join this fantasy-based combat school is a lightsaber, sweat pants and a set of protective gloves. This is a brilliant method for getting geeks just a little bit more active.
The combat instructors at this sci-fi academy focus on reflexes, elegance and imagination (which makes this kind of like live action role playing). These Jedi instructors also stress the importance of respecting one's body, which is good advice to live by.
The Lightsaber Combat Academy provides Star Wars fans with a place to gather, and let their inner Jedi come to life.
