Welcome to the strange little world of Lightsaber Combat Chorepgrahy. For the record: I am a member of the only Malaysian homegrown Lightsaber Combat Choreography Team: The Force Arts Stunt Team. The group was originally an off-shoot of Fightsaber Singapore, known as Fightsaber MY but after a while, the group decided that we wanted to do our own thing, our way and as such Fightsaber Malaysia disbanded and in its place, the Force Arts Stunt Team (F.A.S.T) was born. Let me just state for the record that the website is a work in progress but can be found here.
Based on the past couple of posts, you've probably noted that my hobbies tend to benefit mostly me or be rather focused on my self enjoyment: Reading, fanfiction and original fiction writing, gaming, and Nerf warfare. So this is something that I really enjoying doing, mostly because the group gets out in public and does a lot of public performances with a focus primarily on charity events to help raise money for a variety of good, worthwhile causes. So just how good am I with a Lightsaber? Let's put it this way: On a scale of 1 -10, I'd rate myself about a 5... but I leave you to judge for yourself by clicking and watching here. Since its inception, F.A.S.T has been involved with Hope Worldwide, Star Wars Asia Malaysia Fan Club Charity Auction and maybe involved with the Makna Cancer Marathon scheduled for March 2013.
At the end of the day, having been a part of so many different events has been both enjoyable and rewarding experience for me and is a small but powerful way of contributing, giving back and making a real difference. I won't argue that its a small difference but we still MAKE a difference.
Hmmm... now that gives me an idea for the first assignment.... on the theme of power...now to track down my lecturer....
