1. If I were you I would first of all begin with learning seriously a "highly accepted martial art" in lack of an other word. Because it could teach you swords basics and it might convince you that there is no need inventing a new sport. But if you are still convinced of your idea after say four years in for example kendo, iaido or olympic fencing, go for your freaky idea.

2. DON`T USE KENDO-MEN! At least if those fancy sabres you are talking about are are the ones that I'm thinking of: smaller than the grill in the kendo mask. Its extemely dangerous. You could even kill someone, I imagine, if you hit the eye.

3. Why do you need a "super fashionable star wars kind of swords fight"??? Why do you have to fight in the dark? How can you instruct in the dark? Are you that skilled to teach somebody? Do you belive that there would be someone to teach?

4. If there was any rule that would have to be changed, I would say you should be allowed to do kendo "both-sided" so you can train your body equally on both side. But seriously I wouldn't change anything. (just my noobish opinion)

5. If you are still absolutely into your ehm fencing-style, please send us some youtube links with your training
I am a high school and usfa sabre coach teaching for 25 years.
I have taught fencing to people in wheelchairs and blind fencers you just have to be creative. so fencing in the dark is just more of the same. I will try to fence both sides
it's kinda of fun like the movie with princes"s bride. I am not left handed.!!!
so yes I have that skill, glow in the dark tape on head chest and arms and the glowing led light sword
why ask any kid if he would like to fight with a lightsabre in the dark. look on you tube for glow in the dark shows it's fun.!!
and no pressure to be the grand champ just fun.
