Soresu is my most practiced out of the forms as of now by deflecting nerf darts and disks with a friend's saber.  Ataru is what I will be working on next when my saber gets here, likely today~

Juyo/Vapaad, but probably more Minan as I'm a dual blader.  A lot of defense with the offhand as I utterly lack coordination in that hand.  So it would be like left handed shoto Soresu with Juyo/Vapaad pimp hand.  Really aggressive main hand and a defensive offhand unless I can find an opportunity to use the offhand.  More often it would be a gut thrust or leg sweep.

I've studied a few of the seven forms through my performance/sparring group

Welcome to the forums! Which group would that be? Cheesy

im going to be using a mixture of form 2 and 3. iv studied 17th century swordsmanship and medieval broadsword etc, if anyone has ever seen someone fight with a two handed longsword with the blade/spear grip it'll be kind of like that (except obviously i need an extended handle as i refuse to ever grip a sabers blade Wink )

Are you referring to "half-swording" (Halbschwert) ?

My friend is getting a Shock LE saberstaff.  I was wondering what a good style would be for her to practice.  I personally have zero staff training so I have nothing to show her.

You need to go to YouTube and check out Terra Prime Lightsaber Academy.  Darth Nonymous has a really great video (probably more by now) about staffs.  Many of the learners in exile use TPLA videos for training.

This is good advice.  TPLA has already done the first Trajectory of the Shii-Cho Dulon with a saberstaff (maybe the whole thing? I'm not sure).  I'm at work, so unfortunately, I can't link it on Youtube.  Maybe someone else can jump in with the link?

I do lament the loss of half-swording and blade grabs.
(Point for mentioning Ringeck !)

Stay your blade, for that is the wisest maneuver.

I believe that as a duelist I should flow like water, which two blades allows me to do.

So would you say that you use a Jar-Kai variant of Ataru?

Quote from: whitmers on January 04, 2013, 03:03:16 PM
I use a combination of makashi and Shien / Djem So for myself. I do like Niman/Jar'Kai as well but it really depends on my opponent.

I've been working on Niman a lot, lately. : D

I love Ataru! It's my favorite! : D

There's actually a Fencing style that uses two weapons much like this. Maybe it's something you should look into? Not sure what it's called, but my fencer friend was telling me about it one time. I'll talk to him again, and get back to you. : )

I haven't seen the TPLA video for staff yet, but as I understand it Staff works really well with Shii-Cho, Ataru and Juyo. : )
