River City Jedi is an LED saber combat group. It started in April of 2012 with a couple of friends, old sparring partners that discovered there are LED combat sabers out there designed and built to withstand the forces involved with sparring and dueling. We take civilized stunt and dueling quality LED weapons for a more civilized age and add real world martial arts and stage combat approaches to t
hem, to learn the ways of the Jedi. We use whatever resources and experiences are available, from the members of our group (various martial arts, fencing, longsword etc) and online resources like the Terra Prime Lightsaber Academy.(http://www.facebook.com/TerraPrimeLightsaberAcademy)
LED saber combat is growing worldwide with various organisations. It is incredibly fun, and surprisingly good exercise as well! Members are encouraged (but never required) to create their own persona or Star Wars character, but try and keep it believable. Taking part in costuming is always encouraged, and its half the fun of having your own lightsaber. May the force be with you, always. The majority of our videos on youtube can be found by searching "River City Jedi"
