What will I learn?
At Saber Academy, you'll learn lightsaber combat techniques adapted from traditional Japanese martial arts like kenjutsu, aikido, aikijujitsu, and atemi-ryu jujitsu. The curriculum covers saber-based skills as well as hand-to-hand combat, weapons disarming techniques, and fight choreography.
How do you play Grand Saga?
Grand Saga is a low-commitment, seasonal campaign where the individual scores from your matches add to the collective might of your chosen house. Every week your instructor submits your results to the campaign portal.
How does it work?
First, our campaign manager designs a campaign set in Hyperion. The Archons or house managers then decide every three weeks which outposts and districts to assault. Local club instructors organise official matches between registered players and record the results. If you win, your score helps your house secure more territory.
What if I join later in the season?
If you join after a season begins, you will not be able to pledge allegiance to any one house — but you can still contribute your match results as a mercenary. Mercenaries receive different achievements from acolytes and can contribute to any scheduled match.
Do I need any equipment?
Generally, clubs and instructors will provide you with some equipment to get started. However, we recommend all students aspire to have their own equipment. The exact gear you need will depend on your club's ruleset.
How old do you have to be?
This depends on your club's rules for participation. Generally, participants have to be at least 10 years of age. Participants must be tall enough to meet any armour requirements and able to follow all safety instructions.
Help, I'm a beginner!
That's ok. Your instructor will guide you on how to play, and you can gain additional training through the Saber Academy platform. If you're not yet part of a club, we can mentor you on how to start your own faction and start battling.
