In the Jar'Kai variant, this style is practiced with two lightsabers. It is sometimes known as the 'Perseverance Form.'įorm VI ( Niman/ Jar'Kai) is a balancing of all six other forms strengths and weaknesses, allowing its user to fight with extreme skill without the necessity of overly strong, violent movements. In the Djem So variant, strength is the focus of the form. Practitioners are not only trained to block, but also to deflect blaster bolts backwards at their point of origin. Unlike its counterpart, however, it is not strictly defensive. Often practitioners of this style are little more than colors and motion when engaged in combat.įorm V ( Shien/ Djem So), like Soresu, was designed as a defense against the growing presence of blasters in use in the galaxy. It is sometimes called the 'Resilience Form.'įorm IV ( Ataru) is an acrobatic form, involving a mastery of using Force enhancement abilities. This makes it an extremely capable defense and it has been said that no true master of Soresu has ever been defeated in physical combat. It relies on close, efficient movements that create a minimal amount of targetable areas. It is sometimes called the 'Contention Form.'įorm III ( Soresu) was designed as a defense against the common presence of blasters in the galaxy. Masters of this style are trained in unique attacks and defenses similar to those taught in modern fencing, specializing in protecting themselves against disarms and strikes aimed directly at their own weapons. It is sometimes called the 'Determination Form.'įorm II ( Makashi) is the definition of lightsaber against lightsaber combat. It includes the basic elements necessary to learn all six of the alternate forms, including practice drills known as velocities. Sometimes this is chosen to represent the path they have chosen to follow in the Order, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi's choice to practice Soresu, and other times it is simply a manner in which to compensate for personal shortcomings, as in the case of Yoda's mastery of Ataru.įorm I ( Shii-Cho) is the simplest of the forms and is taught to all Jedi as Younglings. Jedi are expected to learn elements of all seven forms of lightsaber combat, eventually choosing the one style that is best suited to their personality and combative styles.
