Hello all,
I am the head master of the Santa Barbara Jedi Order. Several of our group met several of you down at the Wizard World convention last Friday. It was alot of fun getting to know you all, and I look forward to meeting more of you.
The Santa Barbara Jedi Order was formed in late 1999, and has grown slowly but steadily since. Most of our members are accomplished martial artists, and all of us are "lifestyle" Jedi. (Excuse the Darth title here, its my stage name for our demonstrations). Though we dabble in the choreography aspect of lightsaber handling, our primary focus is light to full contact sparring. Our weapons training is based primarily on Kenjutsu (I have trained 18 years in Daito Ryu and Mu Toh Ryu), and we incorporate aspects of saber and epee fencing, Kali and Escrima stick fighting as well as Chinese long staff and Japanese Jo staff. We also train in a wide array of empty-hand martial arts including Aikijutsu/Aikido, Jujutsu, Sambo, San Soo Kung Fu, Rising Phoenix Kung Fu. We also study and try to incorporate the philosophies of Budo, Ninjutsu, Jeet Kun Do.
I look forward to further correspondences with all of you.
-Darth Generiq
