The LudoSport Sporting Regulations
The LudoSport Sporting Regulations define the principles and rules that govern the practice of Light Saber Combat & Arts within the international LudoSport Network.
They are not merely a set of technical rules: they are the instrument that makes the discipline recognizable, consistent, and safe worldwide, translating the principles of the LudoSport Method into daily practice, dueling, and competitions.
Each rule is designed to preserve the balance between technique, play, sport, and responsibility. In LudoSport, combat is not only a test of skill, but also an exercise in control, awareness, and mutual respect.
The regulations govern the fundamental aspects of practice, including:
the technical rules of combat
the principles of safety
the structure of training sessions and competitive events
the roles and progression path of students
the shared standards of the international Network
The discipline is founded on the values of Service, Care, and Respect, which guide the behavior of all members of the community and give sporting and educational meaning to the practice.
Competitions take place in controlled duels between two athletes, according to techniques codified by the LudoSport Method. Among the distinctive elements of the discipline is the self-declaration of received hits, a concrete expression of fairness, integrity, and fair play.
The regulations also define precise criteria for equipment, uniforms, and protective gear, with the aim of ensuring safe and consistent conditions of practice.
Through these rules, LudoSport protects its identity and allows the discipline to grow and spread without losing the values that make it unique.
A discipline is born when technique, values, and method find a shared form.
The LudoSport Sporting Regulations preserve this form: they make the practice recognizable, safe, and consistent throughout the world.
Every technical gesture, every duel, and every tournament exist because a method exists.
The regulations are its operational expression: they translate the principles of the LudoSport Method into living rules for practice.
Combat is only one part of the discipline.
Respect, responsibility, and personal growth are what truly make it LudoSport.
