Not only is James a certified instructor, but he is also the academies’ Master Sabersmith. He looks after and maintains its armory, in addition to building custom sabers as a hobby.

As one of the first students in San Francisco, he is currently certified to teach Forms 1 and Course Y. He also has experience in Forms 2 and Forms 3 (saber staff). Michael has also found success in the first US National Championships by winning 1st place in Style in 2018.
Darien
Darien Caine found Ludosport in search of something to do on the weekends and found a lifelong passion instead. A student since 2018, Darien is currently certified to teach Form 1 receiving his certification in Honolulu, HI. He is also a graduate of Form 2. Darien is also the current and returning US National Style Champion for 2022 after winning the same award in 2019.
