Category:Lightsaber Combat

This is a listing of the various forms of lightsaber combat used in the Star Wars Universe.

The Jedi teach a curriculum of seven forms, consisting of Form Zero, Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Djem So, Niman and Vapaad. They rarely tought other forms as fully, and even Vapaad wasn't widely tought among the Jedi. Often, they referred to these forms by their numbers, i.e. Form III is Soresu.

Lightsaber Combat in the Brotherhood is broken down into three categories:

• Core: The easiest forms to study, these forms give a duelist a good insight into Lightsaber Combat. The Core forms are: Shii-Cho, Makashi and Soresu.
• Advanced: These forms build on what was learned in the core forms, and are a bit more specialized. Most finish their training when they have mastered an advanced form. The Advanced forms are: Ataru, Djem So, Niman, Vapaad and Dun Moch
• Elite: Dug out from ancient holocrons, these forms are highly specialized, and difficult to learn. Only elders will have the access to study these forms enough to truly master them. The Elite forms are: Shien, Jar'Kai Niman, Sokan, Juyo and Trakata

Lus Ma is truly a forgotten and lost form. No one, in the Brotherhood or otherwise, practices it.
