THE CUTTING EDGE -- Fencing classes, staged combat, swordplay lessons, footwork, and workshops in sabre and foil in the San Jose and San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA

(JUNE 2006)

A jedi master and his team of four travel to a remote location, in search of a dark master, in his own lair, on his own terms. As fate would have it, they are walking into a trap, as the dark master has forseen their arrival and prepared for all five—their untimely doom. As events unfold, Jedi face Sith one on one, two on three, and sometimes five on one. But all clash in the end, as a physical and mental struggle for balance of power continues…

Balance of Power will return in the following episodes...

(Coming Soon!)

(Coming in 2007/2008)

A jedi master and his now well-experienced student execute a mission of stealth, finding their way aboard the enemy ship “The Phoenix”. Attempting to both gather information and to install a type of computer-virus inside the ship’s systems, they are discovered by the Phoenix’s crew. This leads to a series of events and heroic battles the master and student never expected, as the fate of The Phoenix is determined by luck, skill… and a dark master’s guile and guise!

Former assistant to a jedi master, a recently promoted master helps to train the young heroes of tomorrow. The academy is rich with tools and droids in order to help promising children to learn. But, within one student, a darkness haunts the depths of the boy’s soul, and his teachers grow worried. A dark jedi pays an uninvited “visit”, claiming diplomacy as a motive. In the final hour, a darkness that is hardly to be believed awaits this jedi academy. The fate of many battlers—both good and evil—are weighed upon the scales of fortune, as “Balance of Power” reaches its horrifying conclusion!
