LudoSport Hampton Roads - The 7 Styles
Taught and practiced progressively, the 7 Forms of Light Saber Combat are consistent with the literary sources, with the adjustments required to be effective in a sport competition.
Each Style is complete and can be used against each one of the others. Techniques of different Styles can be mixed during the fight without any loss of effectiveness nor safety.
Form I: SHII-CHO
Easy to learn, demanding for opponents. Its “safehouse” philosophy makes it very well protected and really hard to break.
