We often get asked where and when you can drop by for a training session. SP members live all over Germany, and the only regular training takes place in Kiel. But as they say in Andor, “We have friends everywhere”: by now there is a remarkable number of local lightsaber clubs and training groups.
You'll find info on all of them now, permanently on the homepage, via the corresponding menu item, or right here:

Wouldn't it be great if we could travel to a galaxy far, far away? How about a walk under the twin suns of a familiar desert world or in the shadow of the giant trees of a forest moon? Or a visit to a rebel base on an inhospitable ice planet or a deadly imperial space station?
Out of this idea grew our ambitious fan project, which became reality in 2019 and takes our visitors to a galaxy far, far away …

Essen, Germany
Schürmannstraße 43A
Industrial Light and Saber was founded in 2019 as a loosely organized group and gathering point for everyone from the Ruhr area.

Since summer 2024, ILaS has been part of the martial arts community in Essen and has grown quickly. There are weekly training sessions with different focuses: courses for beginners and advanced members, with an emphasis on technique and content or on developing free choreographies.
While the group had already attended one or two events together with other groups before, 2025 saw its first fairs and conventions with its own booth under the motto “galactic stage fights from the Ruhr”. Let's find out together where the journey goes from here!

Since 2019, we have been sharing the fascination of handling a lightsaber, learning new spinning and throwing techniques and developing stage combat choreographies inspired by the spectacular duels of our heroes from a galaxy far, far away.
Our very special highlights include the opportunities to present our choreographies to an audience on small and big stages.
As members of the sports club Alstertal-Langenhorn, we train twice a week in two different gyms of the club. On Saturdays we offer guided training with selected exercises, and on Fridays, in „open training“, we take time to work on our choreographies.
People of all genders train together with us. You can join from age 14 after talking to the trainers and taking part in one of our trial sessions! You'll find the current dates here on our website.
Training times and locations:
- Fridays 7:30 – 9:30 pm at Eschenweg 1, 22335 Hamburg

Fördesabers

With us you learn the right technique for acrobatic tricks such as spinning and throwing, as well as strike sequences on different target zones. With just the first basics and a little creativity, these can be combined into spectacular fight choreographies.

Kicks, spins and a dramatic ending are a must, too. Advanced members sometimes fight three at a time, pick up the double-bladed lightsaber („Staff“) or even two blades („Dual“). The foundation is the technical combat system of Saber Academy International. Creative inspiration comes from films, series, and image and video material from other lightsaber enthusiasts.
Throughout the year you can see us on stage at various events in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein. A well-established fixture is the „Tag des Sports“ (Day of Sports) in Kiel on the first Sunday in September, as well as smaller neighborhood and children's festivals in summer.
