We’ve all fantasized about being a Jedi fighting with a lightsaber at some point in our lives or another, but we usually just flail around and making “whoosh!” noises while we do it. There’s no technique to it, until now!
Self-proclaimed Jedi master, Alain Bloch, is providing classes in which he trains would-be Jedis in the art of using a lightsaber! Located in San Francisco, the three hour classes cost a mere $10 and are open to everyone over the age of 13.
Dressed up as Luke Skywalker, Bloch teaches what he calls “combat choreography” to his students, the Golden Gate Knights. He’s also not particular about which side of the Foce his students practice resulting in a fair number of students taking the classes to help them further embrace the dark side of the Force.
The activity is gaining much attention, not surprisingly, and is also a great form of exercise since the combats require lots of jumping and moving around. Hopefully these classes will catch on and make their way up to the Great White North as well because we’d love to try them out!
