Lightsabre Academy
Eclipse by SSL is the UK branch of Sport Saber League, the principal French academy in Europe (and probably in the world) for Lightsabre.
It was founded by Marc on September 2021 in London. His collaboration with SSL goes back to 2018 when he helped them creating a unified set of rules for the Saber Tour system.
We believe in hard work, sportsmanship and dedication to training.
A Professional Academy
Lightsabre combat is a modern martial art inspired by ancient sword-fighting traditions.
Our practice blends precision, technique, and agility, using elegant moves from disciplines like kendo, fencing, and traditional European swordsmanship, resulting in a unique style aimed to complete combat efficiency.
It’s a thrilling way to improve physical fitness and develop mental focus, through the mastery of lightsabre duels.
A Martial Experience
SSL was founded in Paris by Adrien Koch on a “memorable” date – May the 4th 2015 – and it’s home of the very best fighters in the game;
Adrien himself has collected several podiums, becoming one of the best LED Sabre instructor and athlete around.
If you are in France, look no further: SSL is definitely the place to be with Schools in Paris, Vaureal and Cologne.
They also have branches in UK (London and Gravesend) and China (Wuhan).
About SSL
The mitsudomoe is closely associated with Shinto shrines, in particular those dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war and archery.
Since Hachiman was worshipped as the guardian of warriors, it was adopted as a common design element in Japanese family emblems (家紋, kamon) by various samurai clans such as the Nagao, Kobayakawa and Utsunomiya.
The Mitsudomoe
The Crests
Our method of combat is based on three main principles: Space, Technique and Intent, where each one dominates onto the next and is dominated by the former, in a perfect circle of balance. This concept is represented by the Mitsudomoe, a samurai symbol.
The syllabus draws its fundamentals by “The Eight Spheres Geometry of Combat”, according to the teachings of Master Nick Musson, represented in the crest on the right.
Nick Musson is the founder and director of the Free Fighters Guild, a HEMA academy in Milton Keynes.
A formidable fighter, he massively collaborated into the development of LED sabre in UK.
Here at Eclipse, we owe most of our basilar fighting techniques to his teachings.
