TIME
OUT NEW YORK
What do you do when you live in a city where it's hard
to get some,,, personal time alone. Especially when
all you want to do is work out with your Light Saber
in a safe, relaxed environment. With a sound system
and maybe a video projector from time to time. You join
the classes at New York Jedi!!! Check out Time Out New
York's new issue on (see

GEEK MONTHLY,
April Issue!!!
USE
THE FORCE, BURN SOME CALORIES
The
common question is this. "Are you kidding?"
No, we're not. People all over the world are geeking
out with light sabers, getting excercise, and basically
gettin their hero on. And the Mainstream media is
now getting the proverbial clue. We love geeks. |

MAXIM Magazine
Feb Issue!!!
The
Jedi Workout!
That's right! You too, can shed those unwanted pounds
by working out while swinging those shimmering swords!
But they got one thing wrong,,, chics dig the sabers.
That last question is easily answered with a healthy "Yes." |

ABC
NEWS - 11/03/07!!!
Having a major news network cover
your class is odd enough, but then to watch news anchor

it's unsettling! They rep'd us real good, yo! Super
special thanks to Zach! |

WIRED
MAGAZINE - OCT 07!!!
Contributing
Editor Charles Greaber contacted us and said he
wanted to see what this light saber explosion was all about,
so he dropped in on us at Starbucks, had a cup o' Joe, and
got to experience first hand what it means to be a New York
Jedi. Nerdy? Yup. Badass? Yup. A new family to many? Yup.
Read
on... And yes, they neglected to mention that we have
girls here too. |
