This is an extremely useful resource. I might print off several copies for my friends that deal with Star Wars Lightsaber topics, if you wouldn't mind. If not, then I will definately redirect the to this place. Such an interesting, well written response towards Lightsaber Combat Forms.

I have been getting in some good training for Soresu lately because a friend and I have been setting up rules for a LARP that uses Nerf guns and Ultrasabers. Some disk firing guns shoot slower then others and are easier to deflect but I still have a long way to go. That friend has a bad time when I use my Nerf dart blow gun as they fire nice and fast out of it. There was one he deflected that was a suction dart and it stuck to his saber. We lolz at that moment like when one stuck to my forehead a few years back. The added research of information on the form will help greatly in the deflecting for all of us who choose a lightsaber in it.

I have checked out that map prior. It surprised me because I think that I know some one who lives in the same city of me because he goes by the same name on Steam. Sky Dragon c5.

Does anyone have a personal opinion on which saber to use in a dueling event?

Welcome to the forum!

Could you  be more specific about the saber choice?

Are you asking about the extras and options, such as blade type?

Really excellent work Craig.

This has helped me think about the 7 Forms in a clearer way.

I like how it covers them in more detail in one place then I have ever seen before.
Thank you for your work and effort.

Kind Regards
Bluesky

Excellent information. I happened to stumble upon this before and I have to say it was brilliant to post.

My hero.... Shocked

thank you sooooo much, now I can try to draw parallels between historical long sword/ side sword techniques and the stage fight version of those 7 styles!!

If anyone wants to share and talk about how we can use the techniques for real sharp blades ( cortosis vibroblade works!) and cut everything anyway with no blade weight type of sword.
We can base it mostly on the german and itaian fencing techniques.

Also I really want to practice with someone used to train with you guys from NY ( where I was 2 weeks ago...stupid me)
I wan tto come up with a "realistic fight" since I too prefer a realistic feel than a flurry huming fight.
Of course , Jiu Jutsu, Aikido and even Iaido form can tottaly be part of it and is ( in my opinion) necessary when you get to the proper mesure for kicks, punches and locks/throw.

Please feel free to share with me and ask me about historical techniques and style!

Cheers.

The material the Nonymous and I present is developed from actual sword based marital arts. He has extensive experience in Chinese martial arts and much of his material is based on the Chinese longsword, a 2 handed jian and the dao (Chinese broadsword).
The bulk of the Djem So material I'm putting together is derived from German longsword. Eventually I'm going to put some single handed saber information out which, in large part, will be derived from German messer techniques (check out Talhoffer).
