Want to do more with your saber than saber spins? There are hundreds of videos showing people swinging their sabers, doing flourishes and performing choreographies. Using our system, you can learn how to notate any choreography whether it's based on a movie or if you want to create your own. SaberCraft provides you with online video tutorials that show you how to take that notation and apply it to your performances or practice drills. Below you'll find tutorials on single forms and duel choreographies. You must register for free in order to view the full versions of the duel choreography videos.
LEARN THE NOTATION
Learning the Temporal Notation System. It's an intuitive easy-to-use notation system that designates targets based on the points of a clock. If you understand "1-o-clock", then you understand where to strike. Read over the notation and get a firm understanding. You can download the Notation Worksheets as PDF files.
Time needed: 5 min
SINGLE FORMS
Once you understand the notation, you can begin practicing anywhere in the world as long as you have a stick or a saber. These are simple forms that have been on the internet for over a decade and provide you with proper postures on how to strike and move. These forms combine a number of moves to help you practice your strikes.
Time Needed: 1 hour
