The Los Angeles chapter of the Lightspeed Saber League practices Wednesday nights at Mike’s Bikes in Mid-city.  Everyone’s welcome at this fencing-meets-'Star Wars' sport that’s played all over the country. Their sabers glow in the dark just like in the movies and sometimes they make sounds too. 

Team captain Tony Zaldua Jr. helps train the squad. He describes the sport and introduces a few team members in this sound portrait.
