Monaco fencing club adds lightsaber combat to its programme
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Monaco escrime et pistolet club has run a lightsaber fencing section for several years, open to both adults and children.
For several years now, the Monaco escrime et pistolet club has offered a lightsaber section alongside its traditional fencing disciplines, drawing both adult and junior members. Sessions take place under the same roof as the club's classic foil, épée and sabre training, giving the Principality a rare venue where combat choreography meets competitive movement.
Instructors are keen to steer the discipline away from simple film imitation. Rather than recreating scenes from the Star Wars saga, members are encouraged to build their own style of movement, treating the lightsaber as a tool for creative expression as much as physical technique.
For Monaco families looking for an alternative to conventional sport, the class offers a structured but playful entry point into combat choreography, taught within an established fencing club rather than a themed studio.
