 ___L i g h t s a b e r
Bzzt! The special usage of one's physical form in combination with all sorts of lightsabdrs! Much like Hand-to-Hand, Lightsaber require hard work and dedication in order to master. They revolve around the manipulation of one's body along with their blade, and as a result of the combination, are known as some of the deadliest techniques amongst the world.
Below is a listing of sLightsaber styles you are able to learn within our fine guild, System Borrowed from Shinobi Nations! Just remember, your [ Class ] dictates how many Lightsaber styles you are able to learn, so go check to see what that number is!
___S t a g e s
Unlike Force and Non-Force techniques, Lightsaber techniques are separated by [ Stages ]. Simply put- a stage is a limitation placed on one or more techniques to prevent someone from learning high end Lightsaber style before the lower ones. Those who wish to learn a Lightsaber style start at the very first stage (stage one) and proceed by learning all techniques within that set stage. After doing so, they are able to move up to the next stage, which- as one would think -contains stronger techniques to learn.
• Padawan / Apprentie cannot go above [ Stage Four ] in any one Style. ○ Knight cannot go above [ Stage Five ] in any one Style. ___( However, whence the Master rank has been reached, this limitation is removed. ) • There should always be no more, and no less, than six stages in a single style.
___V a r i a t i o n s
Lightsaber techniques come in two variations- Simple and Complex. They are two very bland yet very important terms. ___Simple: Lightsaber techniques that do not require energy. ___Complex: Lightsaber techniques that require energy.
___T y p e s: Aside Simple and Complex, some styles have other types which have particular effects and learning guides. More commonly, these additional types will be explained in the style itself, however there are a few that may not: • Practice techniques are learned as if Simple techniques of the same rank. • Training techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank. • Once a Practice or Training technique has been learned, it becomes a passive bonus for the practitioner.

Form I: Shii-Cho"It is simple, and its simplicity is strength."
___Description: Form I: Shii-Cho, also known as The Way of the Sarlacc, or The Determination Form, was the first of the seven forms of lightsaber combat. This combat form was developed during the transitional period within the Jedi Order from ancient metal swords to more contemporary lightsabers. Shii-Cho was intended to cater to these new weapons, establishing the basic motions and target zones utilized with a lightsaber. As Shii-Cho was effectively an experimental combat form, and was created prior to the emergeance of Dark Jedi and Sith Lords, it did not address the issue of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, and was quickly replaced by Form II: Makashi. Despite this, Shii-Cho continued to find a niche as a training form, with almost every Jedi duelist receiving some instruction in it, and including elements in their own combat styles. Shii-Cho was considered an effective fall-back option when no other form or combat style would do.
In combat, Form I lightsaber combat was wild and raw, relying on deliberate tactics and being primarily aimed towards disarming rather than injuring foes, in keeping with Jedi philosophy. Basic initiates in the style demonstrated rather clumsy performance, though in the hands of a master, Shii-Cho was fluid but highly randomized and unpredictable.
___Note: • Any Lightsaber weapon can use this style of lightsaber combat. ___S t a g e O n e [1] Cho Si Simple :: Rank E This is the simple act of slashing ones blade at the opponent in a horizontal, vertical, or diagnal direction. It is one of the most commonly used attacks and the basic.
Cho Se Simple :: Rank E This is the act of blocking and/ parry with ones blade in order t defend one's self from another's attack. This is the most basic of blocks and the most commonly seen in lightsaber -to- lightsaber combat.
Shii-Cho Yuu: Closed Stance Complex :: Rank E This is the forms stance in which the user is standing with his/her weapon close to them with little to known of this body exposed. This stance is to insure that vulnerable areas are not seen or are covered making it more difficult for opponents to attack them. But in thus, leaves the user much more focused on closer range of combat.
Sun Djem Complex :: Rank E The sun djem was the act of disarming the opponent, the objective usually being not to physically harm him/her unless needed. This was done by slashed at the targets hands, but only just nicking them or stopping near them to cause them to flinch dropping or withdraw their weapon.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Cho Mai Simple :: Rank E This was the attempt to attack, wound, or amputate the opponents weapon hand. This skill was very much used in situations that called for it.
Cho Dai Complex :: Rank D This was a rather quickly upward slash of the blade at the opponents weapon [ hand ] in an attempt to disarm, wound, or amputate. This move is a major favorite of jedi Shadows and Sith Spies when the time heeds for it.
Cho Sun Simple :: Rank D This was a clear attack towards or at the opponents weapon [ arm ]. This was done in an attempt too wound or amputate the opponents entire arm. Thought a more harsh attack, none the less affect.
Cho Run Complex :: Rank D This was a vertical slash at the opponents weapon [ arm ] in an attempt to disarm, wound, or amputate it. The user does this with a vertical attack but using there center of gravity to control the motion and degree of the swing, which results in a strong slash.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Cho Mo Simple :: Rank C This is to perform three slashes from any angle and direction at an opponent in an attempt to wound or amputate their limbs. This slashes of the weapon are usually aimed at the dominate stance leg and weapon arm.
Shiak Simple :: Rank C This is to thrust or stab ones blade at the opponent or target in an attempt to wound or kill them. This is usually done behind, under or through the opponents guard. But by no means is it unstoppable.
Cho Mok Complex :: Rank C Similar to Cho mo, this is the act of attack the opponent or intended target with a combination of fire to seven slashes while regaining the forms closed stance. This slashes are aimed at vital points such as dominate stance leg, weapon arm, torso, and the head.
Shiak Cho Mok Complex :: Rank C This attack is to first thrust or stab your weapon at the opponent, and shortly after contact follow up with the combination attack of Cho Mo or Cho Mok in an attempt to wound or even kill your opponent.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] Sai cha Simple :: Rank B This is a clear attack at the opponents head in an attempt to wound or decapitate them. This is done with a slash towards the neck just above the shoulders. This is a favorite of the sith and only used by Jedi if needed.
Sai tok Simple :: Rank B This is a clear attack at the opponent in an attempt to wound their torso or cut them in half. This is attempted by slashing at the waist to wound the lower torso or if to cut in half, separate the body from the legs.
Sai Mu- Chi Complex :: Rank B This is attack is to attack an the opponents head and quickly go low and attack the lower torso. This is done by slash at the head from the left, quickly. Once this is complete the user quickly goes low, and shift the direction of their blade to right cutting at the torso.
Shii-Cho Yun: Open Stance Complex :: Rank B This is the forms open stance. The user stands with their right leg/ foot as their dominate. The user also has more exposed or open torso along with a higher body center to insure their footing and movements are stable. These things overall allow for a much greater range of movement in battle, increasing their offensive striking distance. This was a favorite of Jedi Master Kit Fisto during the Clone Wars.
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Flowing Water Simple :: Rank A The Flowing Water cut was a technique based on the principle of using the space created when the opponent withdrew their lightsaber offensively to one's own advantage. As the opponent pulled their lightsaber back from a bind, the user would follow it with their blade, in effect causing the opponent to pull the user's blade into themselves. it is a 50/50 chance move however.
Falling Leaf Simple :: Rank A The Falling Leaf cut was an ancient move that involved the user spinning and making a fast slash at an opponent standing behind them and then return to face the way they were before the maneuver. It was described as spinning one's feet to "slash from the sky"
Dulon Simple:: Rank A The Dulon was a lightsaber move where the hilt's pommel would be held at one's midsection with the blade thirty degrees up, and would be slashed at high velocity
Leaping Sweep Complex :: Rank A The user attacks their opponent with a wide sweeping slash at any point of their body while dashing or leaping towards them. This is usually done when the opponent is backed into a corner and overwhelmed. It is said to be weaker variation of the famous Sarlacc Sweep.
___S t a g e S i x [6] Sai Cho Muun Simple :: Rank A This is a powerful combination attack that has a total of 10 attacks. It is the users own mixture of Simple attacks from Rank E -to- C. It is said to be one of a favorite when it comes to back an opponent away from you or into a corner. This attack is well bested by Form II and defensive forms.
Disarming Slash Complex :: Rank S A strike directed at the opponent's weapon in an attempt to rip it out of their grasp or destroy. This also insures that the opponent is not able to pull out a back up weapon by quickly bring the blade from it's attack back up toward the opponent to make them submit or follow up with a wounding or killing slash. It is a stronger version of the Sun Djem.
Sarlacc Sweep Complex :: S A wide sweeping attack in which the duelist struck against multiple enemies. This attack uses the users swing and center of gravity as it's speed and power base. Making it the strongest and most fearsome of the forms attacks.

Form II: Makashi"He is a fencer. Leverage, position, advantage—they are as natural to him as breathing."
___Description: Form II: Makashi, also known as The Way of the Ysalamiri, or The Contention Form, was the second of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat. Developed for the purpose of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, to address the failings of Form I: Shii-Cho, Makashi was the most dueling-centric of the seven classical forms. Relying on precision and efficiency over Shii-Cho's wild, sweeping motions, Form II allowed an initiate to defend himself against an opponent with minimal effort, while placing a heavy focus on avoiding disarmament.
Makashi was described as elegant and focused, and was based on balance and footwork to outmaneuver opponents. Fluidity and economy of motion were relied on, rather than strength, with Form II bladework heavily utilizing jabs and light cuts rather than hack and slash movements. However, Makashi was not without its weaknesses, being ineffective against multiple opponents and failing to address the issue of blast-deflection. It would eventually be supplanted by Form III: Soresu, the most defensive of the seven forms.
___Notes: • Any lightsaber weapon can use this lightsaber style • Learn simple skills one [1] post faster then normal.
___S t a g e O n e [1] Pivot Simple :: Rank E The user when their blade is activated the user thrust their blade while spinning it. It is simple, but effective in getting around simple defenses. Thought it is simple and can be countered with the right training.
Flick Simple:: Rank E The user does a small slash with a flick like motion of the wrist with their blade. This results in a fast and decent attack. Though not the strongest, it is still effective in saving energy and limiting openings when attack.
Light Thrust Simple :: Rank E The user performs a light thrust at the opponent. Putting only enough force behind it to let the blade do the damage rather than the users entire weight. In thus using less energy and limiting openings in the users stance.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Prospective Defense Simple :: Rank D A basic defensive move. The user gentle with the flick of a wrist. This is done right when the opponent attacks. This allows the user to without much effort block incoming attacks. Dooku used this skill in this duel with Yoda
Deceptive Parrying Simple :: Rank D The user uses the free motion of their arm to move their blade and alter the path of their opponents blade when they attack. In thus with little effort and strength the user is parry attacks. Dooku did this against Skywalker in their first duel, which resulted in Dooku seeming to have little to no opening.
Counter Flicker Complex :: Rank D Upon block an attack, the user will parry their opponents blade. He or she will than commit a slash at their targets head or torso. This slash was usually done with little force but still useful. This done when the user his exposed openings after being parried away.
Makashi Rapier Stance Training :: Rank D The first stance of this form. The user will stand with their blade pointed up and almost right infront of them. This was a favorite of Count Dooku because it left very little opening and was very easy to transition from. It is a weaker version of the Masaki Salute Stance.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Impulsive Slash Simple :: Rank C The user does a decent slash at the target when they have a opening. This attack is called impulsive because right away it is always used upon seeing an opening on an opponent. Dooku used this skill to wound Obi-Won in their duel and against Yoda several times.
Sway Sweep Simple :: Rank C A simple kinetic use, the user after blocking their opponents attack be it a slash or thrust will spin upon impact of the attack. This using the energy of the opponent against them to do a wide slash at the opponent. Dooku did this several times against Skywalker in their fist duel.
Makashi Thrust Simple :: Rank C The user will thrust their blade multiple times at their target while in the Makashi Rapier Stance. These thrust or stabs are accurate enough to look like blaster wounds in a victim and are fast enough to catch an untrained eye off guard. Which what Dooku did in his first duel against Skywalker.
Striving Pivot Complex :: Rank C The user attacks their opponent with a series of flick like slash and chained blade thrust/ stabs. When the user finished the last of their thrust the return to the closed and defensive Makashi Rapier Stance.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] Collective Fencing Simple :: Rank B The user would simple follow the order of block, parry, stab pattern in battle to fight their opponent. This would show that smooth connect from each one. In thus forcing the opponent to take up a similar style or to back away to regain their original stance for battle
Open Deflect Simple :: Rank B Not truly meant for full deflection of blaster bolts. So the user will move their blade just before the blaster bolt came hear and knocked to to the sides of them never back. This was because of the lack of energy put into the deflection. This skill is called Open Deflect, because when the is done, the user leaves a few openings in their defense.
Makashi Open Stance Training :: Rank B The Form II opening stance was a single handed low guard. The saber would be held in the strong hand of the user, and held at his side, the blade pointed down, and the feet would be shoulder width apart. Some faced their opponent side on, so the blade was pointed in their direction. The lightsaber hilt would be held with the thumb pointing down the length of the blade to allow for smaller, tighter, more accurate movements of the saber. The rest of the fingers wrap around the hilt holding it tightly, but not so tight as to limit the fluidity of the movements.
Makashi Salute Stance Training :: Rank B Also known as the full closed stance. The user will hold their blade close to their body with the blade point upward. This stance was so closed the only fearsome brute strength could breath through it. Obi-Won even mentioned despite not having any strength in it, simple the flow to of the stances defensive made it difficult to handle.
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Tranquil Sweep Simple :: Rank A The user attacks their target with a lunging slash. This is done in any of the stances. The lunge is not large so to avoid creating a large opening. And like most attacks of his form lacks kinetic energy. But to be hit with this attack si still none the less deadly. After performing this attack the user returns right away to the stance they were in.
Makashi Djam Simple :: Rank A The Makashi form of disarming. The user when the opponent creates the right opening will move to cut the weapon they are holding. This is too render them helpless to the users whim. Dooku did this to a pair of Jedi Knights that attempted to arrest him.
Steering Strikes Complex :: Rank A The user will attack their opponent with a sudden slash after parry one of their attacks away forcing them to retreat or defend. This is repeated every-time the opponent attacks. If proficient enough, the user can push and move their opponent in any direction they seek.
Compelled Elegance Training:: Rank A The forms footwork that relies heavily upon the he fluid and strict motion of the users lightsaber. This allows the user to main a center of gravity and defense while attack and performing skills of this form.
___S t a g e S i x [6] Contentious Opportunity Simple :: Rank S A tactic based upon recognizing and exploiting an opening in the opponent's defense before swiftly moving to strike the exposed enemy. These strikes are usually aimed at an opponents when their attacks are altered by the user.
Makashi Riposte Complex :: Rank S A defensive technique where the duelist slightly alters the angle of an opponent's attack before quickly retaliating with a counter strike. Dooku demonstrated this skill when he took one of Skywalker's hands in battle.
Makashi Trill Complex :: Rank S A very powerful offensive attack, were the duelist attacks their opponent with a powerful series of sword thrust like that of a Rapier fighting style. These thrust are are done very quickly and are said to be always aimed at the same exact spot as the last.

Form III: Soresu "Defensive and reserving it is..." 
___Description: Form III: Soresu, also known as the Way of the Mynock, or The Resilience Form, was the third of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat that was recognized by the Jedi Council prior to and during the Clone Wars. Soresu was developed during the widespread emergence of blasters as an offensive weapon. Essentially a development on Form I blast-deflect training, Soresu relied on tight bladework and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Over time, Soresu transcended this basic origin, and came to be considered the ultimate expression of non-aggressive Jedi philosophy.
Like Makashi, Soresu relied on economy of motion and energy efficiency, keeping up constant blade-movement to build up momentum and minimize energy-expenditure. Form III focused on strong defensive technique to essentially outlast an opponent, waiting until he began making mistakes due to frustration or fatigue, before taking advantage of these lapses and countering. A master of Soresu was considered invincible, and the focus on long-term survival allowed such duelists to take stock of and control of their situation, choosing to kill, disarm, or even reason with enemies. However, despite its effectiveness, Soresu would receive heavy criticism due to its lack of offensive capabilities, as it merely facilitated survival rather than victory. As an answer to these weaknesses, the highly aggressive Ataru and Shien forms would be developed side-by-side.
___Restrictions: • Lightwhips cannot be used with this style
___S t a g e O n e [1] Wave Simple :: Rank E The user uses this skill to deflect blaster shots just as they come within close range. The user knocks them up, down, left, or right. It is the basic of this form.
Counter Slash Simple:: Rank E Upon blocking an opponents attack, they user attacks with a slash counter. Not very strong, but well known for its uses to push an opponent back a step or two.
Parrying Deflect Simple:: Rank E While the user is running forward or flee, they are able to deflect blaster shots and opponents weapons. It is basic for this still to have movement and defense, this skill covers both in a basic and simple way.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Parrying Circle Simple :: Rank D The user while defending is able to parry their opponents thrust to the side. This is done by slashing or waving ones weapon in the paths of their opponents and knocking it up, down, left, or right. Many opponents however can overwhelm the user with a strong barrage of attacks.
Kneeling Block Simple:: Rank D The user protects or even dodges from powerful attacks by kneeling down to one knee and positioning ones blade in the direction in which the attack is coming. This limits the opponents targets of attacks and maximizes your tight defenses.
Soresu Half Stance Training :: Rank D The half stance is where the user holds there blade leveled in front of them. This dominate foot is in the back and their dominate hand hold their lightsaber. They hold a sort of side stance to limit areas to attack, but still have some body visible to provoke opponents.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Sway Deflect Simple:: Rank C A more advance version of wave. The user will move their blade in the path of blaster shot or an opponents weapon and knock it away. This move allows the user to seen the attack in any direction and degree given.
Steering Assault Complex :: Rank C One of the few attacks of this form. The user blocks an attack with an attack. This is done by forcing the opponent into a weapon deadlock. Because of this forms superior defense the user
Omega Tempest Complex :: Rank C A strong skill that allows the user to attack with a furry of refined blade slash, but still retain a barrier of defense. This is done by still having the basic of deflection in each slash. Not as strong as Circle of Shelter or Deflecting Slash, but still useful.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] Soaring Counter Simple:: Rank B The user after blocking an attack with parry their opponents weapon upward with their own. Upon being left open, the user will now attack the target with a downward diagonal slash. It is greatly effective against those that fight with openings all over the place.
Struggle Complex :: Rank B the user attacks the opponent, but not with full on offensive attack, but with that of deflective style defensive moves. The user moves forward in order to push their opponents back into a corner so that they can not attack or counter effectively. Obi-Wan did this to Dooku in their second duel surprising him greatly and forcing him to retreat.
Soresu Closed Stance Training :: Rank B As seen, the user stands with their blade hilt over their head and the blade of the weapon pointed down. Their dominate foot is places in the front to assist in impact absorbing. The users other foot would be in the back so act as support. Ones dominate hand would be at the end of the hilt to hold the blade in place, their other hands acted as the supporting parrying and attack altering. This greatly increases their defensive capabilities, but reducing the ability to counter attack.
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Soresu Shield Simple :: Rank A The user holds the forms closed stance. Upon doing this they only move their blade to deflect blaster shots and opponents attacks. Because of this it is mistaken for a stance itself. But it is in fact a powerful defensive technique that handles overall defenses of the users body and anything behind it.
360* Storm Complex :: Rank A A weaker version of the Circle of Shelter. It is a absolute defensive like skill that uses clear cut chains of blocks and parrying to defend against opponents attack. The down side is that the skill works well against close combat skills rather than blaster shots and an opponent can bat through this defensive skill as many sith when extremely angered.
Soresu Open Stance Training :: Rank A The Soresu opening stance featured the blade held back in a one-handed grip, angled forwards with the left arm held parallel, the off-hand held forwards in a challenge. The dominant foot was positioned back. The brace-ready stance had much in common with the "Ataru guard," with the hilt held at waist height in a two-handed grip for greater control, extended vertically upwards. The dominant foot was placed back while the other was extended forwards and to the side. A variation on this stance featured the blade held high in a drop-parry position, though it was otherwise the same. This increases the user's offensive capabilites at the cost of their perfect defense.
___S t a g e S i x [6] Spin Guard Simple:: Rank S The user will spin while moving forward or back while delivering slashes at and enemy in a defensive like position do block attacks and blaster bolts. This skill was similar to the slightly more advance Circle of Shelter, but on a much simpler base.
Deflecting Slash Complex :: Rank S A technique where the duelist redirects the momentum generated by deflecting an enemy projectile into a slashing attack at an adjacent target. This skill was useful when attack and wanted to defend. Obi-Wan demonstrated this skill upon many droids during the clone wars.
Circle of Shelter Complex :: Rank S A technique where the duelist creates a protected area around themselves and their allies, making it difficult for enemies to penetrate. This defensive skill is very hard to break through. Obi-Wan displayed this skill against Dooku in their second dual.

Form IV: Ataru "Ataru is the name given to the movements of this form—though it is aggressive, it is focused, and its best use is in combat against a single opponent." 
___Description: Form IV: Ataru, also known as the Way of the Hawk-Bat, or The Aggression Form, was the fourth of the seven forms of lightsaber combat. The history of Ataru stretched back through the Old Republic, to at least as early as the Mandalorian Wars, where it was commonly employed by Jedi of that day. Ataru continued to be a common form among the Jedi in the latter stages of the Republic, and was also known to and employed by the Sith.
An aggressive style, Form IV was fast-paced and effective against single opponents, though weaker in prolonged combat and confined spaces. It was also was not recommended for use against opponents wielding blasters. Ataru was characterized by Force-assisted acrobatics, such as somersaults and leaping strikes, both for attack and defense. Another characteristic of the form was its fast, powerful strikes from multiple directions. Notable users of this combat form during the Old Republic included Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn. The New Jedi Order preserved knowledge of Ataru and Jedi Masters such as Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker, and Kyle Katarn all employed it.
___Restrictions: • Any lightsaber weapon can use this lightsaber style
___S t a g e O n e [1] Engaging Simple :: Rank E The user will simply slash or stab his or her weapon at their opponent. In thus starting a lightsaber duel or conflict by means of combat.
Leap Slash Simple :: Rank E The user will leap over head with a simple flip. He or she will attempt to slash their opponent with their weapon. It is a basic yet greatly used skill by jedi and sith when countering.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Counter Flip Simple :: Rank D The user will slash their blade while flipping backwards or forward to avoid an attack. This skill allowed the user to not only evade attacks, but to also counter while doing so.
Whirl Slash Simple:: Rank D Used by Yoda, the user would simply spin with their blade in hand very quickly and attempt to slash their opponent. This skill was useful of sudden switches on an opponent
Ataru Assault Complex :: Rank D The user will slash their blade at the opponent. If the target blocks the blade the user will quickly spin slashing their blade at the targets other side. This will continue until the opponent is hit or backs away to gain distance and ground.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Slash & Kick Simple :: Rank C Used by both Ankin and Obi-Wan, the user will slash their blade the intended target. They will allow the momentum to take them and follow up with a kick to the targets head or torso to push them back. It usually makes contact when an opponent dodges the slash and comes up for a counter.
Slash & Punch Simple :: Rank C Used by both Ankin and Obi-Wan, the user will slash their blade the intended target. They will allow the momentum to take them and follow up with a backhanded fist or punch to the targets head to push them back. It usually makes contact when an opponent dodges the slash and comes up for a counter
Sky Drop Complex :: Rank C Th user will jump into the air above their opponent or target. He or she will than fall back down and slash or stab at their target in an attempt to harm them. Not best used when fighting alone, but when combining effort with an ally the affects can be powerful.
Ataru Open Stance Training :: Rank B The opening stance for Ataru was a balanced two-handed guard: holding the lightsaber vertically with both palms, either on the right or left side of the body. This stance was utilized by Ataru practitioners to allow themm to quickly strike their opponent without giving them a chance to react, and then escape before they had a chance to retaliate, increasing their maneuverability in combat. This stance holds true to the weakness of Form IV, being restricted by small rooms and closed spaces.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] March Deflection Simple :: Rank B The user simply marches or pushes forward toward enemies firing blaster rounds. The user deflects or parry them while pushing forward in an attack. This is the same when lightsaber duel, as was shown when Skywalker dueled Dooku for the first time.
Low Sweep Simple :: Rank B The user simply goes down low and aims a wide slash at the targets lower torso or legs in an attempt to wound them or even cut the limbs off. This was used by Darth Vader when he stormed the Jedi Temple.
Ataru Invasion Complex :: Rank B A more advance version of Ataru Assault. The user will slash their blade at the opponent. If the target blocks the blade the user will quickly spin slashing their blade at the targets other side. This will continue until the opponent is hit or backs away to gain distance and ground
Acrobatic Assault Complex :: Rank B The user will flip, jump, spin, and twirl around their target while send multiple slashes and stabs at them. This skill was used by Yoda to overwhelm Dooku for just a few moments in their first duel after Dooku defeated Skywalker and Obi-Wan.
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Swoop Simple:: Rank A The user jumps at an opponent and slashes his or her weapon up and than quickly back down. This move was mimic after the Hawk Bat's similar attack when it used it's claws the slash at enemies.
Ataru Dive Simple :: Rank A The user leaps at their target and delivers a powerful downward slash or strike. This is in an attempt to injure or kill them. Skywalker did this many times during the Clone Wars on battle droids.
Acrobatic Invasion Complex :: Rank A A slightly stronger version of Acrobatic Assault. The user will flip, jump, spin, and twirl around their target while send multiple slashes and stabs at them. This skill was used to overwhelm their targets into retreating or until they are cut down, which ever comes first.
Ataru Closed Stance Training:: Rank A Very similar in many ways to the styles open stance. But the user simply stands up more straight centering their gravity, and holds their blade closer to their body as if they were holding a baseball bat. This stance limits the opponents area of attack on the user's body, greatly increasing the user's "standing" capabilities, allowing them to utilize their strikes and attacks in closed spaces and areas, although limiting their maneuverability.
___S t a g e S i x [6] Swarm Strike Simple :: Rank S Numerous shot, fast, and accurate strikes were aimed at the target. These strikes being very clean and very straight forward. This skill is usually performed in faster, short, yet accurate burst when the opponent or surrounding opponents are caught off guard.
Hawk-Bat Swoop Complex :: Rank S Was intended to allow a combatant to quickly attempt to strike their opponent without giving them a chance to react. Thought many well trained opponents can catch this and move accordingly, other of those not aware of the users skill or intends can be caught off guard.

Form V: Shien / Djem So "Defensive it is, yet deadly, deadly indeed...." 
___Description: Form V: Shien / Djem So, also known as The Way of the Krayt Dragon, or The Perseverance Form, was the fifth of seven forms recognized as canon by the last Jedi Council for lightsaber combat. It was developed by practitioners of Form III: Soresu who felt that the defensively-minded form would unnecessarily extend time spent in combat by forcing its users to wait for an opportunity to strike rather than create their own openings. Form V combat was characterized by power attacks and defense immediately followed by a counter-strike.
Shien, considered the classical Form V, was more adept at blocking blaster bolts, whereas Djem So was developed later and intended for lightsaber combat. Both Shien and Djem So were designed to use an opponent's attack against them, as evidenced by Shien's focus on returning blaster bolts to their origin and Djem So's emphasis on immediately striking back after a blow. Although some Jedi felt that Form V encouraged aggression and domination, that sentiment did not stop many Jedi from practicing the form.
Form V was developed sometime prior to the Great Sith War, which began in 4,000 BBY, and it continued to be used for millennia, during the Jedi Civil War, New Sith Wars, Clone Wars, and beyond. Like the other lightsaber forms, it saw use among both the Sith and Jedi. Knowledge of the form survived the Great Jedi Purge initiated in 19 BBY and into the era of the New Jedi Order. Practitioners of Form V included Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker, Aayla Secura, and Ulic Qel-Droma, and Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane.

Form VI: Niman "For superior balance, use the Niman form. This form has no specific strengths, but no weaknesses either." 
___Description: Form VI: Niman, also known as The Way of the Rancor, The Moderation Form, and the diplomat's form, was the sixth form of the seven forms of lightsaber combat. This fighting style was a hybrid martial art created by effectively combining elements of all the preceding lightsaber forms into a single, generalized form. Niman balanced out between the various specializations of the other forms, covering many of the basic moves, but focusing on overall moderation. This resulted in a fighting style that lacked a significant advantage, but also lacking any serious drawbacks, and thereby not leaving adherents as exposed as some of the more aggressive or specialized forms. Overall, Niman had a fairly relaxed focus on bladework, designed as a simple, easily mastered fighting form for Jedi who preferred to devote most of their time to study and diplomacy, though it was absolutely deadly in the hands of a skilled practitioner, as demonstrated by such notables as Exar Kun.
To compensate for the relaxed focus on bladework and lack of significant specialization, Niman training regimens encouraged the inclusion of Force-based attacks in combat, such as telekinetic pulls and shoves used in sync with lightsaber strikes. Also, as Niman was developed from two pre-existing martial arts fighting forms that both emphasized the use of dual-blades, it provided a firm foundation for duelists looking to study into such practices. Ultimately, Niman's success in combat was dependent on a practitioner's intuition and creativity in combat, rather than the rote responses common to the other forms.
___Restrictions: • Any lightsaber weapon can learn this lightsaber style • Consulars get a -2 post reduction to learn this style
___Bonuses: • Mastery of this Form (all techniques learned) allows for a -5 post reduction to learning Niman/Jar Kar.
___S t a g e O n e [1] Moderate Block Simple :: E A rather basic technique in this form, the user simple uses their blade to meet the on comming attack, simple stopping the strike or redirecting the blaster bolt. although effective, the user cannot direct the blaster bolt with this technique, and it is knocked away harmlessly. • This technique can only defend against techniques C rank and below
Stepping Strike Simple :: E The user takes a forward step with a slash, either vertical or horizontal, to gain some distance to attack the opponent.
Small Force Deflection Complex :: E A simple application of the force to fight a person at a distance. Using the force, the user simple pushes or moves the users blaster or weapon gentle off target allowing them to avoid fire and work their way closer. Although effective, the user cant control were the blaster is pointing after the technique, and can only do it within 60m
Niman Open stance Simple :: E :: Training The Niman Open stance was wide and open with the feet shoulder width apart while the blade held out from the body in a one-handed grip, the blade angled upwards and back, while the off-hand was folded across the chest. A simple stance, it is well balanced one that offers no increase or decrease to anything.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Niman Flurry Simple :: D A set of 4-6 strikes that are as moderate as the form itself. It lacks any superior effectiveness in any area, but can be utilized as an attack flurry, defensive flurry, or blaster deflection flurry. This technique is efective when utilized against one or 2 opponents in melee range, or 3 to 4 opponents at a distant range (only comming from a max of 2 directions). Only effective against blaster techniques B rank and lower, and melee techniques of A rank and higher break right through this technique.
Relaxed Clinch Lock Complex :: D The user raises their blade to attach to an oncoming strike, and attatches and redirects the oncoming blade to enter a weapon deadlock. From here, the user can utilize any of his other attacks to catch his enemy off guard.
Weak Slash Push Complex :: D A Fast attack, the user uses the relaxed blade work to perform a slash or two on an enemy, and if they score an attack or if the enemy tries to push on the offensive, the user pushes them away to either gain distance or work into another strategy. The force moves the enemy to a maximum of 20 feet, usually having them collide with walls or other barriers for extra damage, although light due to the weakness of the push.
Niman Dominant Stance Simple :: D :: Training Another Niman stance, this one featured the blade held at head-height in a two-handed grip, angled upwards and slightly in, with the dominant foot placed forward. Although another moderate stance, this one is more focused on Blade work, adding to the effectiveness of physical offensive and defensive capabilities while reducing the effectiveness and speed of the user's force techniques due to the two handed grip.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Off Balancing Sweep Simple :: C Another application of the Niman style, this technique utilizes the legs at a close range to off balance an opponent with a foot sweep, moving either in to out, out to in, or back to front towards the user. Usually after this, the user utilizes their relaxed blade work to attack the now off balance victim, but requiring another technique to do so. This is not always effective on mobile force users, but is very effective against general neutrals.
Force Flurry Kick Complex :: C The user performs a series of 7-8 slashes, whether it be for offensive or defensive purposes. Using their relaxed blade work and footwork, once the user has the enemy, or enemies open or fanned out, the user performs a force augmented kick, increasing both power and distance. With the Kick, the user can cover a maximum distance of 10 feet before the kick, and send the opponent flying with a powerful physical attack for a maximum of 50 feet.
Moderate Pulling Slash Complex :: C The user grabs hold of their enemy with the force and pulls them closer to them. At the same time, the user performs a one handed slash attack for the flying opponent, making it difficult to defend against and dodge, requiring a C rank or higher defensive technique to defend against.
Surprise Slash Simple :: C This is a technique that is usually utilized when the user if facing multiple opponents. While engaged with one opponent, the user will suddenly change direction and place a surprising slash for the next opponent, and just as suddenly goes back to fighting the original opponent. If used against a single opponent, this technique looks like an overhead strike that suddenly turns into a low swipe for the legs, that continues as the user spin into a full circle forehand head attack.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] Blaster deflection flurry Simple :: B The user users their relaxed blade work to deflect away most blaster bolts, ranging from 4-5 opponents from all 4 cardinal directions. Although unable to deflect them back at the target yet, they are able to steer clear the fire from anyone possibly getting hurt.
Melee deflection flurry Simple :: B The user performs a series of sword attacks, able to successfully defend away and parry A rank level attacks, but is unable to disarm the opponent or off balance them. it is perfect for when the user is stuck in a rut, although weak in terms of offensive capabilities after usage.
Strong Push Flurry Complex :: B A series of 4-5 slashes, that quickly flows nicely into a jumping or spinning side kick, and then followed by another 4-5 slashes. Once completed, or scored a shot, the user pushes with one hand into a strong force push that sends the enemy flying away for 60 feet.
Rancor Moderation Simple :: B :: Training The user is practiced in all things moderation, that they are able to utilize this form in all situations with slightly increased ability, utilizing its "jack of all trades" in any and all situations.
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Moderate Transition Simple :: A The user, when engaged with a melee opponent, is now able to also deflect blaster bolts without changing stance or style, allowing for a more fluid transition and balance between attack and defense. Although helpful, the user needs to be careful for not leaving an opening for a more practiced melee combatant to take advantage of their opening, and thus the user usually augments this technique with a force power.
Pushing defense Complex :: A The user, defending against a melee attack in a one handed stance, immediately pushes with their non lightsaber hand, sending the opponent flying, allowing them to more easily engage multiple targets.
Pulling Flurry Complex :: A The user grabs hold of the opponent in the force, and pulls them in a strong pull, usually taking them off of their feet and putting them a little in the air. From here, the user into the air to meet them, letting their blade fly for 5-6 strikes against a fairly unguarded opponent.
Rancor Stance Simple :: A :: Training The Rancor Stance, a two-handed low guard with the hilt held at waist height in both hands, with the blade held back and to the side, angled downwards, feet closely spaced. Prehaps the most moderate stance, it allows the user to use any technique freely with no plus, but also no minuses, making the user very versatile in terms of ability, range, and effect.
___S t a g e S i x [6] Rancor Rampage Simple :: S A set of slashes and movements designed to close the distance on ranged foe, or push an offensive on a melee opponent. This technique is similar to Form 5's Fluid Riposte, but is not as perfect or refined.
Rancor Stopping Complex :: S When facing an opponent strong in the arts of melee, the user waits for an appropriate attack, using a one handed stance to use the force to stop the attack dead in its tracks. This usually requires a full bit of concentration, and only after the blade has been stopped can the opponent attack. The opponent can still pull the blade back, but will have lost all the distance and momentum they were looking to gain. • Only usable on a single attack, or the last attack of a combo, and costs the same amount of energy as the rank of the attack they are looking to stop.
Pull and Redirecting Push Complex :: S The User grabs the enemy in the Force, pulling them closer to them. Pretending to perform a slash, the user suddenly and surprisingly pushes them away at an angle, possibly disorienting and sending the opponent hard into a barrier or another opponent. The User is unable to attack the opponent during this technique.
Diplomats Degree Simple :: S :: Training The user is so practiced with utilizing this form that they are able to more perfectly mold this styles technqiues with the other forms. The complex forms in this style now count 15 energy less, to a minimum of 5 energy

Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad "It channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light or utter darkness." 
___Description: Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad, also known as The Way of the Vornskr, or The Ferocity Form, was the seventh of seven forms recognized as canon for lightsaber combat by the last Jedi Council of the Old Jedi Order. In use millennia prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Juyo incarnation of Form VII was described as the most vicious form of lightsaber combat and was said to involve significant internal focus on the part of the user. Juyo had many practitioners throughout the years, including Jedi Masters Kavar, Zez-Kai Ell, and Vrook Lamar. As time passed, knowledge of Form VII became restricted among the Jedi Order, whose members were worried that its precepts would lead practitioners toward the dark side. In contrast, members of the Sith, such as Darth Maul, employed Juyo without reservation, as did Dark Jedi such as Galen Marek.
In the later days of the Old Republic, a new variation of Form VII, dubbed Vaapad after a creature native to the planet Sarapin, was created by Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Sora Bulq. Vaapad was explained as being a state of mind rather than just a fighting style, allowing the wielder to channel his own inner darkness into the duel, and accept the fury of the opponent. Windu, Bulq, and Windu's Padawan Depa Billaba were three notable practitioners of the Vaapad variant. Records of both Juyo and Vaapad survived the Great Jedi Purge and were recovered by the New Jedi Order, who preserved the records of Form VII into the Sith–Imperial War.
___Restrictions: • Any lightsaber weapon can use this lightsaber style • Must have mastered 3 lightsaber forms (stage 6 and all techniques) before learning this form.
___S t a g e O n e [1] Leaping Slash Simple :: E The user attacks the opponent in a ferocious like attack, taking a big jump forward, and aims a fast slash, either vertical or horizontal, for the opponent. After this, the user attempts to push the offensive. Defend and Clear Complex :: E The user utilizes a simple saber block against an attack, but then presses back in while moving their blade to knock the opposing saber away to create an oppening, allowing the user to press the attack once more. Stab combination Complex :: E The user pulls their saber back, and rips a fast stab right for the midsection of the opponent. Just as fast as the first one was sent, the user rips of a second one for either another part of the midsection, or for the unguarded legs of the opponents. After this, the user will whip their blade across them, aiming a fast horizontal cut for the opponent while moving back into a aggressive stance, giving a small rest in combat, but allowing the user to manipulate the timing to press a more effective offensive. Defensive leap Simple :: E The user responds to a low or middle horizontal attack by actually vaulting over it, using the blade as a barrier and a prop to get them over the opponents blade. From here, the user is able to then press the offensive at a slightly open opponent. This is a very effective against a lesser trained person, utilizing a less aggressive lightsaber form.
___S t a g e T w o [2] Retreating aggression Simple :: D While moving away, or being pressed by the opponent, the user continually uses circular footwork and spinning horizontal slashes(forehand or backhand) at all three levels for the opponents body, aiming to push the offensive and gain some momentum back in the battle. Maximum of 3 turns (6 slashes) a usage.
Staccato Sequence Simple :: D The user digs into their stance, utilizing a firm stable base to perform 4-5 slashes of any types, bombarding the opponents defense with a ferocious frontal attack.
Fast Backhand Simple :: D The user, either before, during, or after a combination, takes a circle step forward and unleahses a fast one handed back hand horizontal slash, aiming to take the enemies head right off. Is really helpful to cover a weakness, or to help take advantage of an enemies attempt to push the offensive.
Ferocious Circle Simple :: D The user utilizes their ferocious offense by moving their blade in one continual circle, going from high to low, or low to high, literally drawing a vertical circle around the opponent with one continuous horizontal slash. After setting up a rhythm with this technique, the user utilizes their other techniques to break it, possibly catching the opponent off guard.
___S t a g e T h r e e [3] Hollow Simple :: C During the attack of the opponent, the user takes a small shuffle step back, just to be out of striking range of the opponents weapon. From in here, the user can then burst back in with their ferocious offense. • Technique has a one post cool down.
Swift Flank Complex :: C The user pushes forward with a stabbing motion, aiming for the midsection of the opponent. Then raising their blade in a guard motion, the user utilizes this increase in energy and momentum to step out to the side blindingly quick, then aims a descending lower slash for the enemies legs. •
Tornado Charge Complex :: C Vaulting forward, usually with aid of the Force, the user places their blade ahead of them and quickly rotates, forming what looks like a charging drill or tornado. Used to close the distance safely, the user is protected well with this aggressive movement, moving quickly and decisively to his desired location.
Vaapad open stance Simple :: C :: Training The Form VII opening stance is a one-handed high guard with the blade held horizontally above the head and pointed to the side. The body was half-twisted, with the off-hand swept across and down. This stance utilizes and expresses the users speed over their power.
___S t a g e F o u r [4] Twisting Deadlock Simple :: B The user, after making contact with the opponents blade, uses a fast spinning motion to keep theirs and the opponents blade in contact. Using this connection, and the spin movement, the user closes the distance, and enters a weapon deadlock with the opponent. From here, their can push the offensive again.
Ferocious Deflection Simple :: B The user now well versed with the art of offense and aggression, utilizes their attacking and offensive instincts when fighting a ranged opponent. Treating the Blaster bolt as an enemy, the user "attacks" the blaster bolt as if it was a target, sending them back at the shooter. If there is a barrage of them, the user can utilize this idea with 6-7 swings, sending half of them back at their intended target. Only usable once per post. •
Ferocious Endurance Simple :: B :: Training The user has trained with this form so well that they are accustomed to moving very fast for a length of time. The users combative endurance is slightly increased.
Swift Ferocity Simple :: B :: Training The user, now understanding their own inner darkness, has also trained extensively in this style and understands that a ferocious offense is the only true defense. Users striking speed is increased. •
___S t a g e F i v e [5] Juyo Aggressive Stance Simple :: A :: Training The user blades their body slightly, while holding their hilt with two hands, and bring holds it back at their back shoulder pointing the tip at the opponent while looking down the length of the blade. This stance exemplifies the users power over speed, allowing the user to express their darkness in their ferocious attack. Although effective, this stance is not well suited for any long term defense.
Assured Strike Complex :: A A finesse like addition to this usual primal form, the user trades sheer power for greatly increasing the likely hood of the strike landing, hiding a small, insignificant strike for the opponent which is generally used to startle, stun, or break their rhythm. • Strike has no chance of killing or dismembering.
Force Growl Complex :: A The user controls their force powers and presence to activate a primal and instinctual part of themselves for combative use. During this time, the user's offensive combination speed is increased. This mindset lasts for 5 posts • Not compatible of Defensive Ferocity
Defensive Ferocity Simple :: A :: Training The user has become almost unbeatable at the art of ferocious aggression and this is able to use it as a defensive measure. The user can now utilize any of their techniques in this style for defensive purposes, attacking the opponents blade as if it were a person, wearing them out even faster then before. •
___S t a g e S i x [6] Vornskr's Ferocity Complex :: S The user pushes forward with an all out attack, making strike after strike for the opponent while bombarding and overwhelming their their defense, usually effective agaisnt multiple people. While observing the duel between Darth Sidious and Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker considered Windu's Vaapad bladework to be "an oblate sphere of purple fire" which contained dozens of blades attacking from every angle. •
Kenetic Chaos Simple :: S This technique is almost the reverse of "assured strike," were the user sacrifices much of their technique and tactical prowess for pure, unadulterated power and kinetic force in a almost rageful flurry of motion. With these 10-12 slashes, the user neither recognizes or cares about the opponents defenses, looking to simply obliterate them with this furious staccato styled strikes. This technique can drain the opponent of all will to fight, but is slightly taxing on the user as well, stopping from them from using complex techniques for 2 posts. requires a defensive technique of an S rank to defend this, and it must be able to defend against a minimum of 10 strikes.
Vaapad Unarmed Simple :: S :: Training This style has now been nearly ingrained into the users mind, body and spirit, that their understanding of ferocity and aggression that they are able to utilize these techniques unarmed. the number of slashes in the flurry equal the number of strikes, and each technique is considered a complex technique.
Tempered Aggression Simple :: S :: Training The user has become a conduit for their aggression, and is more capable of utilizing force techniques that augment and increase their aggressive capabilities. Battle mind (any rank) and Force Rage (any rank) now cost 15 energy less (to a minimum of 5)

Niman / Jar'kai "Powerful two blades are, yet arrogant one can not be" 
___Description: Jar'Kai was originally a style of swordplay that utilized dual blades, developed by the Yovshin Swordsmen.

Tràkata "Like a flash of light, we have already attacked..." 
___Description: Created by a Jedi Consular in the days of the Old Republic to compensate weaknesses with lightsaber, Tràkata was a form of lightsaber combat developed for taking advantage of a lightsaber blade's ability to be turned on and off, a unique quality in a melee weapon. Quickly shutting off then re-igniting the blade could cause confusion in one's opponents, allowing for diversionary feints in combat. Mixed with Niman/Jar'Kai, Tràkata is extremely effective, even against multiple opponents. Sith Lords would occasionally use this form to free their blade hand, allowing greater control of some force powers, such as Force lightning.
Philosophically, Tràkata involved practical combat and deception, rather than single minded determination or endless patience. It was rarely used by the Sith, since the power of the Sith came from passion rather than practicality, and neither was it commonly used by the Jedi, because of their unwillingness to rely on deception. The latter may, however, have utilized this technique on occasion, their purpose usually being to exert greater influence over the Force.

Darth Bane demonstrated this ability when he telekinetically used his lightsaber to kill three young boys while their father helplessly looked on. Millennia later, Mace Windu would use exactly the same ability during the Battle of Coruscant, igniting his lightsaber telekinetically. While brief, his use of the Force allowed him to unclip and activate his weapon, destroying a Super battle droid with one swift stroke. Galen Marek used this power when fighting Maris Brood on Felucia, after breaking a Force Lock against her, damaging her with her own lightsabers.

Daru Naga "Flow with the force, like the water in a stream..."
___Description: The creation of this form is rather a strange one. This form was created by the young jedi master Marcus Rin. A rather strange style that uses a relaxed and very fluid motions like a dance to attack at opponents.This is done by flow as if you are "water or a liquid" if you must that is using the "current or force" to guides it's next strike at an opponent. The Lightsaber Pike and Long-handle lightsaber are more commonly used because both weapons are naturally more flexible and have a more "flowing" property to them. Which makes whipping strikes, slashes, and stabs when ones body and mind is fully relaxed extremely deadly. This form is a highly potent mixture of Form VI: Niman & the jedi masters home-world spearsmanship Daru Gali.
the Wyrrin's Daru Gali being a spear form that relies heavily on fluid motions that within attacks to counter, block, and attack. In thus leaving them off balance and losing focus from the clean and fluid attacks. The attacks of this spear form are dangerous due to the fact that the user easily attacks from one point, s/he can attack from another point just as quickly as the last due to the fluid and quick movements. It indeed tells all about their water and forest covered planet.

Lu-Maus "A crack of a tyrants crimson red whip.." 
___Description: Created but the legendary Lady of the Sith. This style was created for the maximum use of the Light-whip. This style revolves around a clear and cruel onslaught of attacks, but also very dense and refined form of defense, which a light-whip user seems to lack. This form helps cover the lack of defense by tightening up the stoke of one's whip near their body. In calculations, making it much easier to block attack. Adding to to the power of the light-whips attacks, are more fluid and lashing motions the help create a signature loud electrical "snapping" sound when coming in contact with any object. This "snap" being the energy of the motion released fully at the contact point of the wipe being more powerful than ever.
It was said to be strong enough that even the legendary Luke Skywalker stated. "Much weaker the weapon, but the strokes felt as if it was clash head on with another lightsaber." proving that the reinforced light-whip style and light-whip could now fight better on par with it's lightsaber brothers.
