Battle-Ready Lightsabers to Strike Down Your Opponents
There’s nothing quite like an epic lightsaber duel. Since witnessing Old Ben’s clash with Darth Vader in 1977 (or whenever you were introduced to Star Wars), lightsaber combat has been the dream of every young Padawan. We’re ready to give you the unimaginable power that Obi-Wan spoke of by building you one of our custom dueling lightsabers, the best you’ll find in this or any galaxy.
Being a Jedi is about much more than wielding a combat lightsaber — it’s about the enlightenment that comes with being at peace with the Force. Sith lords, on the other hand, bend and contort the Force to their will. Whether you choose the path of the light or the dark side, there will be conflict — and for that, combat sabers and knowing how to use them are necessary.
Pick the Right Hilt and Fighting Style For You
But where do you begin? It may sound odd to the new initiates who are used to bulls-eyeing womp rats in their T-16s back home, but lightsaber combat is a form of martial arts and requires dueling lightsabers. As such, there are numerous styles you can engage in, from traditional fencing, kendo, and historical European martial arts (HEMA) to Eskrima and heavy-grade fighting styles. Different types of combat ready lightsabers work better for different types of duels. For example:
- Long combat sabers (11″+ hilts) are suitable for kendo and defensive fighters who need to generate power.
- Medium-length combat lightsabers (10-11″ hilts) are often the best choice for beginners because they bring balance to the Force and can be used for both offense and defense with one or two hands.
- Short combat sabers (below 10″ hilts) are light and fast, making them excellent for traditional fencing and Eskrima styles.
Different fighting styles are developed based on several factors, including height, strength, and agility. These different factors don’t necessarily box you in to any one style, but it is a good place to start to determine what style will work best for you.
Fighting Styles in Star Wars
With a proper combat-ready lightsaber by your side, you can engage in various types of authentic duels. Lightsaber combat is similar to real-world martial arts — it’s mostly an artistic expression rooted in the Jedi tradition. Some people choose to use battle-ready lightsabers for simple, friendly sparring, while others engage in full-contact duels akin to fencing. Whatever path you take, you’ll have to develop your own lightsaber fighting style, and you can even base it on various Jedi and Sith styles that exist in Star Wars canon (or Legends), such as:
Any style of lightsaber combat requires training, patience and discipline on a level that would make Master Yoda proud. Fighting lightsabers aren’t intended to harm anyone, but serious practitioners of the art will certainly put their weapons through the wringer.
What Makes Battle-Ready Lightsabers Ready for Combat?
Even if your duels are choreographed, and you have the discipline of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, lightsaber combat still requires your weaponry to be able to take hits. Finding the most durable lightsaber comes down to two main factors: Materials and construction. Lightsabers for dueling need to be constructed with a level of precision out of the strongest materials possible.
