Louisville Jedi Academy
To all fans of the Star Wars Brand,
To all inspired by the story that began,
“A Long Time Ago, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away….”
To every young boy or girl who’s imagination was sparked by the epic battle of good vs evil,
lead by a class of Warrior-Sages, armed with laser swords,
To everyone that wanted to be a Jedi,
This is for you
The Louisville Jedi Academy is a weapons class offered at Bluegrass Martial Arts. Jedi Academy is a class on the sword and covers several differing traditional sword forms. We meet once a week to explore how the weapon of the light saber might be used, using "Jedi" terminology. Anyone can attend our academy, we are open to all ages, but we have found that many of the younglings need to be of a certain age, at least 4 years old, before they are ready to follow a full hour of instruction. This is not a "fan club" or a costume group, we have real content much closer to a martial arts class. The academy is included with any Bluegrass Martial Arts membership, but if you are only interested in attending Jedi Academy we do offer a $10 drop in rate. We have real content, real techniques for each system, a full vocabulary of terminology, there is even a ranking process, and we spend an hour each week diving into the content of each of the 10 different lightsaber combat forms.
