Hey everyone!

As Cang mentioned, my name is Andre, the creator and co-founder of Lone Wolf Base. A lot of you will know me as “Moose”. I am pleased and proud to take on the role of EPO! I have made quite a few videos and clips in the past, using footage from Lone Wolf Base and tournaments. It’s always fun to be able to break down plays, understand the outcomes and just appreciate the styles and moves of your fellow competitors!
With about five years of experience in the competitive lightsaber scene and almost seven years of lightsaber training experience, I have been a part of and witnessed many feats of agility, cunning and respect!

Which leads me to everyone else!
Part of my job as EPO is to highlight ALL OF YOU and your bases! I want to see your fun training sessions, your “did that just happen!?” clips, your “uh ohs” and just anything that you feel would be absolutely awesome to share with the rest of the social media community!
Want me to analyze a full fight?
Want me to react to some crazy exchange?
Just want to share a new and upcoming fencer?
Shoot me your clips, your live streams and your highlights!

How to share: Officers can refer to the Discord #Officer-and-Staff channel for my Drive link, my email to share your Drives with, or if you’re not an Officer, please feel free to reach out to me on Discord! Smaller clips can be placed in the #show-off channel.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

Get out there and show me your moves!

TEXAS REGIONAL DIRECTOR STEPS DOWN

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with George Luetkemeyer, Texas Regional Director for Lightspeed Saber League since 2019, and co-owner of Kyber Combat, Texas’ premiere lightsaber combat academy. We talked about the league and where it was going, and we talked about our individual lives and where we were going. It was at this time that George submitted his resignation to me, and I accepted.

George showed his leadership acumen almost right away, once he officially joined up with Kyber Combat in May of 2018. George brought a level of professionalism and training seriousness that all Lightspeed squads should strive for, and it wasn’t long before the team began to excel. George led classes for the group, wrote training protocols and class procedures, established the team’s ranking and promotion system, helped design the Kyber team games, and established the group’s code of conduct, upon which the official Lightspeed Saber code of conduct would later be based.

Needless to say, George’s service and commitment to his squadron brought the attention of Lightspeed Saber upper officers, and the offer was made to bring on George as regional director for Lightspeed Saber in Texas. In this capacity, George brought on numerous new groups into the Lightspeed Saber family, helped manage and lead local tournament efforts, acquired connections with major organizations and venues for competitive and outreach opportunities, and still much, much more.

So it is with sadness that we bid farewell to George and the great passion and service he has brought to our sport, and the league cannot thank him enough for all he has done. However, George has promised that he won’t be going away. As a competitor, George has proven himself just as fast and agile as any of his Kyber compatriots, and has served as a pioneer in the Ren Saber space, a still large and crucial gap in the Lightspeed Saber canon of knowledge. So we fully expect to see more great things from George, just not from above the ring, but inside it, with a flaming crossguard. Thank you George, and we’ll see you in the box!
