00:00My name is Bruce Faller. I'm the Rector and Lead Instructor here at LudoSport Hampshire
00:04Lightsaber Combat Academy. I've been in the sport since March 2016 where I started my journey in
00:11LudoSport in Farnborough. During that time I've had the opportunity to become a qualified instructor
00:18in Form 1 and Form 2. I've also had the opportunity to represent the UK at the 2019 World
00:27Championships that was held in Madrid, Spain. LudoSport was born in Italy in 2006.
00:38Essentially three friends who had a lot of experience in martial arts and weapon arts
00:42and things decided that they wanted to try and work out how they could fight with prop lightsabers
00:48and just about 20 years later we're now in 12 countries including Italy, Spain, the USA, France
00:55and most recently in Japan. We have I think the most amazing international community. I've met
01:03some of my closest friends now through this sport because we have a common language which is
01:08getting to, in a controlled fashion, beat each other up with lightsabers.
