classes from over the holidays in our catch up camp. All rank material will be covered in this 2.5 hour intensive

We will also be having a SPAR WARS parents night out the night before on Sat the Jan 30th from 5:00-9:00.
Obviously we are getting into the spirit of the Force Awakens, but it also provides us a chance to educate in the disguise of
fun. As some of you might have learned from the ESPN documentary, Jedi and light sabers were largely based on Eastern
martial arts themes and the art of Kendo. The night will include the pizza, basic kendo instruction, sparring and games,
and we plan to teach a choreographed light saber duel which we will film. The event will include an action flex light saber
that is safe and durable for actual sparring (but unfortunately not cheap—this is an actual training weapon with a Star Wars
theme). Participants are encouraged to dress up in a Star Wars theme as much as they want. There will need to be a
minimum number of sign ups, which must be done in advance to get the light sabers. Additionally, anyone attending this
weapons based event will get to attend our next stickfighting workshop for free!
