Star Wars fan launches lessons teaching people the art of lightsaber fighting

In a community centre, not so far away…Star Wars fans are battling it out like Jedi knights at one of Britain's first LIGHTSABRE combat academies. Intergalactic Sabre Masters is believed to be one of the only martial arts schools of its kind to teach members how to fight with lightsabres though the art of mindfulness. Jedi wannabes hope the Force is strong with them as they aim to become Grand Masters and duel with the illuminated weapons in a community hall in Sileby, Leics. Martial arts expert Dave Holden spends his Wednesday nights teaching his Padawans the art of battling with lightsabres and says the discipline is "akin to dance".
