ABOUT ABOUT

MASTER CLASS TICKETS DO NOT INCLUDE ADMISSION TO THE SHOW. ADMISSION TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY!

Learn light saber fighting from Star Wars stunt coordinator and sword master Nick Gillard, who choreographed the fight scenes for Star Wars I, II and III. In this 90-minute master class, Nick (assisted by CC Weske) will teach a complicated run from Revenge Of The Sith, which will cover all of the moves and the rules involved in Jedi fighting - the same way Nick taught Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen while training them for the Star Wars movies! Registration is open but spots are limited and filling up quickly, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to be trained by the Sword Master himself!

Participants should come in comfortable attire (sweat/training pants, a t-shirt and leather soled shoes without too much grip are recommended). Participants should also bring their own training light sabres. Commercially made replicas are often too fragile and have too many knobs on the hilt. The hilt should be smooth due to the amount of movement in the hand, so Shina’s or blunted ski poles with the basket removed are recommended. Yours should be chosen the same way you do for skiing (grip it upside down above the basket and put the handle on the floor; if your forearm is level then that’s the correct size). Otherwise, bamboo with a gaffer tape handle will do.
