The way of the Jedi, easy is it not. To master the lightsaber, many years of practice it takes. For those not attuned to the Force, a few limbs can they lose. Thankfully, at the Higgins Armory Museum, safe practice lightsabers we have developed. Come to learn the basic lightsaber guards, strikes, and parries you will. Perhaps a Force-sensitive you are? *Note: As per Galactic Code 211.587, Section B, Paragraph 9, children proven to be Force-sensitive will be taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
