Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Joe Spinner, and I am a Jedi Knight. I teach Lightsaber combat for those who are interested in dueling with Lightsabers. The two primary forms that I teach are Form II: Makashi and Form III: Soresu.

I studied the ways of the Jedi at the Temple of the Jedi Order, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2005. However, I've been practicing since I was but a little padawan myself. I teach by demonstrating techniques and instructions for students, as well as preparing drills for them to harness their skills and grow in ability. Whether you are new to the ways of the Force or looking to hone your skills, my classes will help you master the Lightsaber.

I teach as a way for kids, teens, and adults to connect with the fiction in a fun and healthy way. Not to mention that Lightsaber Dueling is a very real sport. It's recognized as a National Sport in France and there are many Lightsaber academy's around the United States that teach. Competitions and tournaments can be found all over the world!

Once I officiated the wedding of a Jedi I helped teach. There I was able to present him with my first dueling Lightsaber. I'm very proud of him.
