“Welcome to Lightsaber 101, we are the Central PA Jedi Sith Alliance. My name is ____, and today we will be instructing you on the basics of lightsaber handling and combat. We are going to have you guys join us (direct them where to go).”

Hand out sabers or boffers depending on the event.

Go over the basics of a lightsaber, where to hold, what not to touch and safe distance of swinging.

“When we do our fights, we are not actually trying to hit each other. When I swing my saber in, and my opponent forgets to block, my saber should not be anywhere near hitting them. (Demonstrate)

Next go over the strike zones (LH/1, RH/2, RS/3, LS/4, Head/5, Middle/6)

“We will now go over the 6 strike zones you will need to know to do the fights we can do. They are Strike zone one, our left hip (describe how to block), Strike zone two, our right hip (describe how to block), Strike zone three, our right shoulder (describe how to block), Strike zone four, our left shoulder (describe how to block), Strike zone five, our head (demonstrate and really emphasize the safety behind doing this correctly), Strike zone six, middle strike (describe how to block)”

Go into a brief description of the lettering system. And start off with the letter A and have both sides attack and defend. Repeat through the letter E. If time remains, do 5’s.
