| Simple punches and kicks radiate the effectiveness and simplicity of this style. Virtually no artistic flare is present in this form which can leave a good fighter focused without the weight of complication.

| Each defensive maneuver is designed to 'glance away' strikes from the opposition, parrying with their body and appendages. These 'parries' render oncoming attacks ineffective if done correctly. In addition, with counter-balance as the theory behind the practice, redirecting throws are also quite prevalent in the defensive realm.

Style: Soft
Weapons: unarmed, improvised
Reticulating from the Corporate Sector, Klarin Chi was devised by the natives of the Sector's primary planet as a way to defend themselves from technological superior adversaries. In its original form, it involved focusing one's mind to the point that their very thoughts could affect reality around them. The practical application was that it allowed them protection against blaster bolts and melee weapons.
Unfortunately, nearly the entire Klarin race was exterminated less than 3000 years after the founding of the Old Republic. After their destruction, the survivors decided that it was their very immunity to modern weaponry which made them such a target, and swore to never again teach the focusing of their minds. This they did with full dedication, never revealing a single focusing technique to anyone, effectively destroying their own ancient secrets. Instead they passed on only the physical attacks and defenses of the forms. These are primarily smooth, simple attacks, without complication or embellishment.
Furthermore, the entire style is ripe with throws and parries, completely devoid of actual blocks. It is a fluid, graceful style best-suited for avoiding damage while wearing down an opponent.
