Anima Core

Buongiorno a tutti, possiedo da anni un anima core comprato per utilizzarlo in una spada che avevo costruito, con opzione per attivazione con bottone a pressione abilitata di fabbrica.

Con chi posso parlare per alcune delucidazioni tecniche secondo voi? Qualche utente esperto?

Lamadiluce Glove Reviews

Hello all, first time poster here. I have been looking at the evo and nxt gloves that lamadiluce produces for lightsaber sparring/dueling but haven’t been able to find any reviews on them online. What’s the general consensus amongst the ludosport crowd on their quality and effectiveness (in protection, grip, and how they affect manual dexterity for spinning and whatnot)? Also, is the sizing generally pretty accurate? Thanks.

Which store? Europe

Hello

I hope this sub isn't dead. I don't see any recent posts. I've got a problem. I'm trying to get a ludosport approved saber and the official store (LamaDiLuce) is closed until August. I cannot even comprehend how the only official store for a sport decides they want to close the entire store for 2 months so I vowed to never buy anything from them. I don't understand how somebody can have a business like that. That store is making it hard for people to join the sport. It's unprofessional.

Either way, there are, maybe, only 2 more stores I could find. Nordic Sabers is one and another I won't even bother mentioning cos it costs an absolute fortune (more than fancy replicas).

There are no YouTube videos about Anima boards. I can't compare it to anything. I'd like to know of it's any good and whether it has smooth swing, for example. Would anybody know?

And does anybody know of other ludosport approved shops that ship abroad? Even American ones would be good.

How about starting a trend of sharing our sabers 👀. These are my baby's Vigliacco and Bunta.

Champions Arena is coming!

I wanted to make this post to see if anyone is brave enough to make any predictions!

In my case I must admit im a D'Addosio simp, gotta love his style but kind of a "safe bet" and as for my national choice gotta go with Trayad, great guy, great duelist and great teacher.

So I want to learn the sport but

So I live in New Zealand and I've started learning and practicing ludosport. after watching the videos online and reading whatever I could I've hit a roadblock. There is no classes or instructors in my country basically meaning I cant do anything without travelling (which isn't an option at this point)

Anyone have any advice on what I can do?

Hello r/ludosport! This is my first post!

I’m rejoining Reddit after many years away. I’m specifically rejoining to help spread LudoSport. I’m a Form 1 instructor in the Washington, DC, USA area, and a member of the Tidewater Academy. I’m searching for students in my area to start up new classes. Let me know if you’re interested or you know anyone who is!

Cost of setting up an academy? (UK)

There isn't an academy in our area (in the UK), so I'm considering what it'd take to get enough of a proficiency to set one up.

Excluding the cost of attending a few classes in nearby(ish) academies, and assuming no real experience (in Ludosport anyway - sword training I've done a lot of) do you guys know roughly what kind of costs would be incurred in setting up a new Ludosport academy?

Thanks!

Becoming a style master

IMPORTANT EDIT: The information and question in this post is out of date please refer to your teachers or to the official ludosport announcements for any questions you have. If this post has confused you I am sorry.

Old Edit: Never mind, after playing around on the website for abit I was able to locate the section for stylemaster training, I don’t think I’m at the level needed to tackle that one just yet.

Hello, first time poster, long time lurker. I’ve been doing ludosport for over a year now and according to my instructor my clan and I are close to closing form 1, I recently was gifted a new battle name and went to the combatant website to update my battle name accordingly we I decided to look around at the site since I sort of knew more about the sport than when I started.

I came across the titles,honors,ranks and all that but I’m not really sure how to start earning some of them, mostly the style master, and pretty much all of the honors.

Is this just up to the discretion of my teachers when I am awarded the titles or do I need to take special certification classes?

Lamadiluce lightsabers

I haven't started ludosport yet but I'm planning on starting soon as well as my sister. We were looking at buying a lamadiluce saber for each of us so we can spar, while learning form I, since there's no dojo's (are they called that in this sport?) near us. But, the sabers are incredibly expensive, is there a cheaper replacement that will still work?

Feeling of a match

I'm thinking of starting ludosport, but I'm wondering how it feels actually being in a match. I've never had any martial arts training and I'm curious as to whether this actually makes you feel somewhat like a jedi/sith (whichever you prefer) and how fun a match is. I've watched a few videos and the matches seem like they can be a little boring. Would love to hear some of your thoughts

Different forms

So, currently I'm in college for business and stumbled across Ludosport. Instantly, I was intrigued. But I have no studio near me. I was thinking of making one, of course I'd need to learn the sport. From what I've seen it looks like different countries have different forms (or I may be just confused). Can someone please explain this to me? Do the forms relate to the 7 star wars forms? Also, is there any way to learn all forms online/take lessons online or is that not possible?

Manuals for ludosport?

Hello all. I'm brand new here, purchased my first saber which will arrive in a week. I wanted to learn the 7 ( or is it 8?) Forms of ludosport as well as the rule set and etc and was googling for a manual. I found a YouTube who seems to help with some of this but during these times of covid and the likes I cannot really join a club or dojo for this and I REALLY want to start learning. Can anyone give some manuals, videos etc that could help a new guy on his path?

Changes coming to Lamagiluce?

I've just noticed that a lot of the offerings have changed on lamadiluce. the older polaris models are gone. I'm assuming they are discontinuing the older parts in favor of the new evo model. have they said anything about when other color parts will be back or when they'll do a push button model of the evo?

Ludosport during lockdown

Hi guys,

I'm currently running a competition trying to get videos of activities people have been doing during lockdown to keep active. It would be great to see some Ludosport videos!

We recorded a podcast on ludosport

Hi guys,

Just pointing you in the direction of the podcast we filmed with Dan Sammons from ludosportUK. We had a great chat and found out a lot about the sport, and we think it would be a great introduction to anyone who has just started.

Check it out through the link below.

Promoting Ludosports

Hey guys,

I work for a startup and we are trying to promote Ludosport through our social media. If anyone who has a few Ludosport fans on twitter and wants to give us a follow it would be hugely appreciated.

We tried out Ludosport for the first time a few weeks ago and are currently editing a video of our experience, so any support in expanding the reach on our socials would be great. I'll leave a link below.

Thanks

Improving reaction speed and attack recognition

I'm a beginner at Ludosport (about a month now) and liking it very much so far. I know I have a long way to go in Form 1 but so far when thinking of how I am doing, I would judge my offense as adequate for a beginner. However, my defense could use some serious work. Namely, using the correct blocks when a person from the sides or down below.

When working out or when you have private time outside of lessons, what methods/exercises do you recommend that could be good training to increase attack recognition and reaction speed?

Getting my first Saber

Hi all! I just purchased and am going through the online form 1 course. I’m looking into getting my saber but I’m a little lost.

I’ve found the list of approved sabers on the ludosport website but they are a little steep for my budget. I’ve been looking into some of the other combat saber websites and was wondering if anyone has a build through the other services that fits ludosport regulations? Ultrasabers has a good selection, but I’m not sure if their 40” blade will be the appropriate 87cm when it’s inserted in the handle.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
