Question 1

Do I have to duel?

Accepted Answer

No, not if you don't want to. Many people train but don't duel, and come to exercise, but there is a thriving competitive (friendly competition!) community, which allows you to meet and compete against others throughout the UK and Internationally.

Question 2

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

For your Discovery session, we recommend shorts or leggings or jogging bottoms and a t-shirt. The hall is usually very warm, so we recommend lightweight clothes, and bringing your own water.  Trainers are a must.  There is a bathroom to change in before we start if required.

Question 3

I have a light saber, can I use it?

Accepted Answer

As LudoSport is a full contact, combat sport, there are rigorous safety rules surrounding equipment.  We use specific light sabers from approved vendors to duel with, which is why the Academy provides them for you.  Our approved sabers for combat are limited to certain companies.

Question 4

Are there any equipment requirements?

Accepted Answer

Safety is our priority - we use approved sabers, gloves and ask that men wear a cup to protect themselves.  Women can wear  a chest guard if they like. We do provide sabers and gloves.

Question 5

What is the age limit for teenagers?

Accepted Answer

Individuals are assessed on a case by case basis, from age 14 and up. We ask that if you're younger than 14, that you wait until we add a younger learner's class, or join us from age 14 to try out with us then. This is for safety and to maximise your experience with us.
