The importance of daily lightsaber training

Jedi understand that there is always room for improvement in one’s skills and abilities, and this is especially true of one’s skill with a lightsaber. It is foolish to think we have mastered every technique with the lightsaber. Even Jedi Masters know that though other’s may look upon their lightsaber skills as perfect, in the Jedi Masters mind, perfection can never be attained, but is an ideal to always be striving towards. Even if one feels their lightsaber form cannot be improved upon any more, such things as the speed of the form or the strength of the form can always be increased and improved upon.

Even the greatest Jedi of all, Jedi Grandmaster Yoda, believes that technique can and should always be improved upon. This means that we should find time each day, even if it’s only for 10 minutes, to practice our lightsaber techniques such as basic blocks and strikes, and also spinning and twirling the lightsaber. A jedi who can wield a lightsaber skillfully, is a sign of a Jedi who has true dedication to his or her path. I should add also that lightsaber training, whether alone or with a partner, is an excellent physical workout for the body, and daily lightsaber practice can keep one’s body strong and nimble, and if ever a real-life combat situation arises, your daily lightsaber training will serve you well in being victorious in battle against the enemy.

I would say 20 – 30 minutes of lightsaber training per day is sufficient to give your body a good workout and also to see improvement in your lightsaber technique over time. Practice makes improvement, and every Jedi should want to be continuously improving their skills with a lightsaber.
