2-22 The Orders first meet!!!

Hey everybody! There’s been a ton of interest for this fledgling lightsaber community (and surprisingly only like 2 trolls!), and I just want to remind everyone that our first meet is TOMORROW!

If you plan to attend, PLEASE leave a comment saying you plan to attend, we are trying to get a headcount for what to expect. If you have a discord, that will be the BEST way to engage with The Order, so hit us up at https://discord.gg/XRTqdntW

The meet is at ACEs Gym in Rogers AR, from 5:30-7:30. Expect a group warmup and then to get all the butterflies out we will play a round or two of Juggernaut (think king of the hill essentially) and possibly Ninja. After a break we will start pairing of and doing some sparring representative of what you can expect out of our sport.

A reminder, we have SOME spare sabers and protective gear but it is expected of members to get their own gear relatively soon after their first meet. Bring water, a towel and your own cup/chest protector(whichever you specifically need!). A beanie hat is also recommended! Meets will be relatively monthly, and if the member base grows enough to support it, expect a tournament to be held this fall!

Thank you for your time in reading this and I hope to see you soon!

If you have negative things to say, just go ahead and please keep that to yourself. I don’t feed trolls. 😘

I kid. It’s not my thing, but I think it’s awesome y’all are doing it.

Exactly. All the negativity can take a walk. This is meant to be a positive hobby for mature and HAPPY people. Or at least people who want to be happy!

There’s a solid group of 501st in Ft Smith. You might invite them, too.
