Overview

The GGHK Fencing Program offers tournaments for all three weapons (Epee, Foil and Sabre) in ordinary fencing. All are individual events. In addition, tournaments for the weapon commonly known as “Lightsaber” are also offered for the sports that attempt the real martial use of a plasma sword. Individual events are offered for duels using the Lightspeed Saber Fencing Rules. Apart from duels, a tournament for aesthetic performance using “Lightsaber” is offered as a team event.
