Where have I been?

You might be asking yourself, "wait, Indy Lightsaber Academy has a blog?" In a long time ago galaxy that's somewhat far away (almost 2 years ago for those counting), I made a post. This post was about how to pick out a lightsaber . You could say it was a blog. Michael Tucker might have called it inane ramblings that should have been edited. Shortly after I hit post on that article, a series of unfortunate events occurred and I was left without means to create more beautiful symphonies. Many people were happy. And things that were probably better lost in the 4th page of google results, were forgotten. Until one day.... But now in our third year of being, our organization has a lot of things going on. I'm not going to list them in this post, but trust me it's a lot. My goal is to publish 1-2 posts a week about various topics and events. Some will have pictures, some won't, and others might even include a video. If there is anything you ever want cover...

What is Indy Lightsaber Academy?

This is a question I get asked multiple times a week and at every event. " What is Indy Lightsaber Academy?"   Most of the time the answer goes a little something like this… "It's class where we teach you how to use a lightsaber. Based on real world martial arts, the class focuses on control and skill and less flips and spins. Ages 10 and up preferred. No experience or equipment is required. We hold class weekly and are located in downtown Indianapolis at the City Way YMCA" But that is just a description, and for the most part satisfies people's curiosity. But really, what is Indy Lightsaber Academy? Why do we exist, why do people come and enjoy what we have to offer? What are we doing that's different. The real answer? It's a discipline Make no mistake, what you are learning is a martial art. These are not made up forms based off the movies. These are forms that include centuries of martial arts and infinite complexity. Thank...
