⚔️ LED Saber Competition

Forms and Point Based Sparring

LED Saber divisions blend martial arts performance with high-energy, illuminated weapons . Think traditional forms meets cinematic light combat.

Forms:

Competitors perform choreographed routines using:

• LED light sabers (single or dual)

• Color-changing blades

• Sound-activated effects (at some events)

It’s usually judged on:

• Precision & control

• Creativity

• Difficulty

• Showmanship

• Martial arts technique

This is not full-contact combat — it’s a performance division similar to creative weapons forms.
