Overview
The GGHK Fencing Program provides tournaments for all three conventional fencing weapons: Epee, Foil, and Sabre. All of these tournaments are individual events.
Additionally, tournaments are offered for a unique weapon referred to as the "Lightsaber," catering to those who practice the real martial application of a plasma sword. Individual events are available for duels following the Lightspeed Saber Fencing Rules.
Apart from duels, there is a team event that focuses on aesthetic performance using the "Lightsaber" weapon.
