Founded by a Class of \u201906 alum, Ring of Steel trains members to fight\u2014dramatically\u2014with authentic-looking weapons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most couples have a first dance at their wedding reception. Jacob Lehman \u201906 and Jennifer Wholey Lehman \u201910 had a sword fight. To music from a Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> film, the couple dueled in full bride-and-groom attire in front of their guests\u2014a moment that was years in the making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two had met through Ring of Steel, a student-run stage combat club that blends martial arts and theater using steel swords, wooden staves, and even lightsabers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an intrinsic need for play that never goes away,\u201d says Jennifer, who majored in communication in CALS and now works in Alumni Affairs while serving as Ring of Steel\u2019s staff advisor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that everyone, at least a little bit, wants to feel like a badass, and that you can be the hero in your own story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded by Jacob during his freshman spring in 2003, Ring of Steel trains its members to choreograph and recreate fight scenes inspired by films like Star Wars<\/em>, Highlander,<\/em> and The Princess Bride<\/em>, using replica weapons and costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It puts on performances at events like ClubFest and Spring Fest, as well as on May the 4th\u2014a.k.a. \u201cStar Wars Day\u201d\u2014when lightsabers take center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Although Ring of Steel formerly practiced in Risley\u2019s Great Hall, it\u2019s not to be confused with other combat-based pastimes of previous eras\u2014including the staged battles at the hall\u2019s popular Renaissance fairs in the 1970s and the Ithaca chapter<\/a> of the Society for Creative Anachronism, known for recreating medieval fights on the front lawn.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some routines have been passed down through members, new choreography often begins with watching\u2014and rewatching\u2014movie scenes in slow motion, breaking down each movement and reconstructing it step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group trains its members to choreograph and recreate fight scenes inspired by films like Star Wars<\/em>, Highlander,<\/em> and The Princess Bride<\/em>, using replica weapons and costumes.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe majority of fights you see in movies use aluminum weapons that can be moved much more quickly than real, steel weapons,\u201d observes Silochanie Miller \u201926, a biological engineering major in CALS who has studied martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOurs are more historically accurate\u2014but that requires modifications for safety and to make sure the scenes look right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group meets three times a week to rehearse, with new members first training with Japanese wooden practice swords called bokken<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members must demonstrate proficiency in footwork and safety protocols\u2014like keeping a proper distance apart\u2014before moving on to steel weapons including rapiers, broadswords, and quarterstaffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emphasis, members say, is not on competition, but on ensuring movements are precise, safe, and visually compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSword performances are collaborative, so we only look good if we\u2019re in sync,\u201d says Jacob. \u201cIt gives people that feeling of camaraderie that they may not have found in traditional sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former English major in Arts & Sciences, Jacob developed a passion for stage combat while in high school in Ann Arbor, MI, where he joined the original Ring of Steel<\/a>\u2014an experience that would inspire him to found the Hill\u2019s group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, members of the Cornell club have traveled to Michigan during breaks to train with that founding group, learning advanced techniques like wire work, high falls, and fire stunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat attracted me to Ring of Steel is what brings everyone there: the swords,\u201d admits Sadie Shen \u201928, a mechanical engineering major in the Duffield College. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou get the promise of swinging swords at your friends\u2014and probably making new ones that you\u2019ll swing swords at, too. But what made me stay was the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sense of connection extends beyond campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Ring of Steel alumni return to Ithaca for “Ringunions,” and five couples who met in the group\u2014including the Lehmans\u2014have tied the knot. (Their reception duel can be viewed here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible community,\u201d says Shen. \u201cIt\u2019s a specific flavor of very dedicated nerd\u2014but it\u2019s a great flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
