France's fencing federation has recognized lightsaber dueling as a competitive sport, the Associated Press reports.
Now you can channel your inner Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, or Qui-Gon Jinn (lol just kidding) with a French Fencing Federation judge watching you.

Two fighters enter a circle marked in tape, much like the Jedi of old. Hit the head or body and you get five points. Smack a leg or arm and you get three points; hitting a hand is worth only one point. First one to 15 wins, or whoever has the highest score after 3 minutes.
Unlike fencing, you've got to bring the lightsaber behind you before every blow. That way, the audience gets to enjoy big, dramatic swings instead of little flicks of the wrist like in fencing.
Remember, though, if you strike your opponent down, they will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Or get a ride home from their mom.

You'll have to fight with a polycarbonate lightsaber replica lit by LEDs, and wear appropriate protective gear. Philippe Bondi, a 49-year-old police officer who decided to start lightsaber dueling after 20 years of fencing, told the AP he spent around $400 on his lightsaber and body armor. Guess becoming a Jedi isn't cheap.
