	Hi every one. My name is Mark AKA Darth Carcinus, A Master of the Orange County Saber Academy. I am quite envious of all of you to have Smudge up there with you. He is the consummate swordsman, and is perhaps one of the most prolific trainers I have ever had the opportunity to cross blades with. Take good care of him up there. Good luck and God speed Master Smudge. *****Lord Carcinus********* -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a path way to abilities... that some consider... un-natural" [image=http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m249/DarthCarcinus/dcorder66.jpg]

	the_black_smudge posted: I'm thinking to try for a weekly or bi weekly training session on the weekends. However, as I'm still new to the group and area I would like some feedback on where is most fair for everyone. Also would Saturday or Sunday work best? Perhaps rotating days would be best. In any case Input would be most appreciated. I am also working on ideas for toy sabers for the younglings that they could whack away with without fear of injury or breakage. On that note, how many younglings do we have in the group? I met Cheeser's kids on Saturday does anyone else have kiddos? I would be interested in going to your next session. I have a son, 5 years old. We are always fighting sabers and pirate swords. I would like to bring him if there will be other kids there. Plus we have about 4 or five of those expanable saber swords I could bring if anyone needs one. -----signature----- Don't make me destroy you. I am..."better than I deserve."

	A lot of what I teach is a bit too advanced for a younger child. In CA, we had a minimum age of 14 to participate with the adults. However I can quite easily do a modified version for the younglings using the toy sabers or we could build some homemade foam ones. I am generally open on the weekends so please give me a call or post here when you are available and we will meet up. I am quite willing to do this one on one if needs be! bows Master Carcinus, it is good to hear from you! you are too generous with your praise! -----signature----- "Good must not be measured on a scale as small as Mr. Land's brash heroics.

	This seems to be the best thread to mention that I have seen the FX Yoda Lightsaber at the Valley Toys R Us. ($119). I wont be getting it, but hopefully this mean they have figured out how to minaturize the electronics enough that I can finally get a Dooku saber eventually. -----signature----- "Even in the FUTURE nothing works!"

	Dooku? That would be nice to see and handle. Foam sabers are fun to construct and take more abuse than the plastic ones with minimal potential for injury. I say minimal because adults can still injure each other with them, and children seemed rather talented at injuring themselves despite all precautions. -----signature----- Jesus loves you all!

	Unfortunately with Master Replicas not renewing the Star Wars licence it seems very doubtful that we will see any new Force FX designs -----signature----- "Good must not be measured on a scale as small as Mr. Land's brash heroics.

	This saturday that be tomorrow? What time and place would be great. Destroyer sam and the Cheeser really had a good time at the picnic learning. So much in fact we were just about going to pay for Kendo lessons but decided to take the smudge up on his lessons instead:) I think we are free for a time this saturday or sunday which ever it is. So let us know asap that would be sweet! Thanks smudge for the willingness of sharing your mastery skill with the Saber!

	Sunday would work a lot better for me but I can do something on Saturday if needs be. Let's shoot for 1:00 ish on Sunday at my place and we will move to a nearby park if we need more space. My address is 226 E. Astor Dr. 99208 more or less behind the Lowe's on N. Division. It's thehouse on the N/W corner of Astor and Weile. Look for the bat door knocker. If anyone cannot make it Sunday, give me a call and we will try and set something up tomorrow. Remember, bring gloves and closed toe shoes! -----signature----- "Good must not be measured on a scale as small as Mr. Land's brash heroics. What he would do one day, he would gladly undo the next!

	Good meeting you Smudge and Cheeser, it was fun. My son wants to know when he can play with Sam again. I guess he did not mind getting smacked in the head with the lightsaber Maybe smudge can host the next meeting? -----signature----- Don't make me destroy you. I am..."better than I deserve."
