About Us

 

 

How do I delete my profile and unsubscribe?

To begin the process of removing your information and unsubscribing from our website and service, begin by sending an email to info@sabercraft.org from the email address that is registered to the website.

 

Where does the income you make go?

SaberCraft works on a zero-sum budget meaning that every dollar we make goes to supporting SaberCraft, it’s operations, it’s promotions and most importantly, it’s rent. SaberCraft does not make enough money to support a studio so we rent spaces as our budget allows and part of that is what students pay for class.

 

Why do I have to pay for class if I attend but it’s free online?

SaberCraft classes are conducted indoors in order to provide a safe, well-lit environment for our staff and students. The cost of class covers the rental space primarily and all remaining funds go solely into promoting the organization.

CM-D: Dynamic Combat

Choreographed Movements: CM D

Dynamic Combat by switching between attackers

In this lesson, we cover building a dialog between 2 opponents. By switching who is the attacker, we build a simple choreography movement that allows 2 players to trade strikes rather than 1 player doing all the attacks. By incorporating sections of previous CMs, we build a dialog that switches between CM-A, CM-B and CM-C. CM-D introduces two 2 elements:

  1. Thrusts noted by a 0 (zero) in the notation.
  2. Unconventional Blocks by introducing an alternative angle to a block.

CM-D
Telegraph: Reverse Flourish
Lumina Score: 3

Completes and Complete Across

Introducing Completes & Complete Across ©

A Complete is a wide arc swing that flows through uninterrupted. A Complete Across is when you commit a wide arc swing at a particular target point but move parallel to the ground. Completes and Complete Across we note with a © symbol meaning that the swing is not interrupted and moving across parallel to the ground. In this lesson, we cover 1©, 5©, 12©.
