Awesome sad they are not in business anymore.
@@BrooksVlad the owner passed away. She was terrific to do business with
Looking forward to that manual! Great news!
The first rough draft is almost complete. Then it goes to a technical editor. So do u know how to contact me?
@@tonynegron1633 Yep!
*Promo sm*
i like how they keep in kempo , i have armor ideas , ill send ya pics when im done
Great video I joined a saber dueling group at dragoncon a few years ago and from there found tsl. I've been looking to get a pike and the commander is looking like a good option for customizing hilt to blade ratio. I wish I could use my sf ronin but tsl dose not alow tsubas on pikes.
The vendor Ki Sabers is great to work with. This pike will work fine under TSL rules. Best of luck on your purchase.
Those pirouettes are leaving them wide open. Starting an advance with one so close is asking for trouble, but they seem more focused on clashing sabers than creating or looking for openings in their opponent. These guys show some serious promise.
This is a Right Of Way Ruleset. First one to arm has the offense and opponent has to defend. It allows for unique maneuvering for lightsaber combat to be fun to watch as well as participate. This ruleset was designed by the Academy to train new students more efficiently.
What are you using to line the ring?
It’s just a lcd rope light that can be bought at Amazon. We use weights to hold the corners in place
Awesome video! I always wanted to make my saber into a pike but after hearing that the ultrasabers pike is rather heavy I might have to look into saber forge pikes instead. Is there any other sabers that Saberforge offers that are compatible with their pike extension pieces? Thank you for sharing!
Though we broke this like, it was a very rare and easily remedied solution of making sure the extension is on correctly. I would highly recommend the mass produced Commander pike as the best one you can get for the cost. Also Ki Sabers is a joy to work with and warrants their combat products which this pike is. I own 5 Ki Sabers for combat. Most of my students own one and Academy members get a discount.
Pink, im assuming purple light saber seems longer than all the other blades?
I have a good lightsaber that can give you a free experience, please contact me
What saber is that
The blue is a Vanguard by Crimson Dawn. The red is an Excelsior by JQ sabers. No longer available though it’s one of the best sabers made for LED Combat.
@@tonynegron1633 do you think the vanguard would last long
@@snowfault1684 I really don’t think it would stand up to Saber Legion (TSL) combat. They use heavy blades and hit very hard. In our system we use lighter blades and softer strikes and so far it has done fine. All Crimson Dawn Sabers come from a company in China. If your looking for combat sabers then look at Ki or Mando Sabers.
@@aikensaberacademydragonsde9680 what are some good companies/ websites for hard dueling?
@@snowfault1684 for sabers look for Ki Sabers or look for Mando Sabers. They make great fighting sabers. Vader’s Vault is outstanding but very expensive. It does come with sound and special blade effects If your looking for dueling organizations look at Saber Legion which is nation wide or Lightspeed which is mostly west coast.
The shield should be held more like a Scottish targe or like your gloved fist in boxing. There are some exchanges where the fighter is doing that, but mostly they are holding it too close to their body. If your ruleset allows it, using the shield to pin the attackers weapon and womping on them with yours is a nice trick.
We are really a Combat Lightsaber Academy. Every now and then we bring in exotic weapons just for fun. Our big goal was creating a system for our school that is safe, less costly for protective equipment, intense and physically challenging and frankly fun to watch as well as participate in. We are now just introducing it to the world and hope other luck it up. The exotic weapons can be used with the system and as time goes by we will improve our HEMA skills
@@tonynegron1633 Oh, it looks super fun. I do LARP, HEMA and SCA, so I understand the joy of smacking your friends with simulated weaponry.
@@gozer87 Thank you for your kind words. It is a lot of fun. It gets really cool with the lights out. Again thank you
How is this saber in a duel? Does it allow for much agility?
The Excelsior was developed with help of the Silver Sabers from England. They use a rule set called LSOT which my academy will eventually get into. Yes it’s an outstanding dueling saber when combine with a long blade. I use a 40 inch blade. It is approved by Saber Legion for use in their National Tournaments. It is heavy so if your use to light weight sabers it may take some getting used to. However I use it one handed for choreography. Check out Aiken Saber Academy videos on Favebook
@@tonynegron1633 you use it for choreography, so how I it for flourishing and flow moves? I do a lot of that, but I've never tried it with a Crossguard.
UsualSu2pect no it would not be good for Flow at all. Look at the Slayer from Ing Chao Armory or better yet the Waylighter Kung Flow which is purpose built for tricks
do you have a video of the saber in action?
Yes again either look at Silver Saber action on you tube or Aiken Saber Academy videos on Facebook. I can use it one handed in choreography despite its weight because of its terrific balance. When dueling I use a 40 inch blade in it. Works well.
