Lil big Gamer it’s good to know that I am not the only one doing this, since I made that comment I learned to nearly master form 1, 2, 3, and nearly master the lightsaber staff.

[@i-maxwalker3401]

Some tips while preforming Shii-Cho, This form uses wide fluent attacks, similar to Ataru, try to stay as calm as possible while using it. The wide strikes can leave you open, always try to guide your blade into a defensive motion after an attack, similar to Soresu. Although this form is normally one of the first many learn, when mastered, it can be formidable against any opponent.

[@wv4776]

Maybe a year later you realize you were a nerd when you said this

[@Sam-ot8lm]

[@Murasaki_Saya]

Kit Fisto, Mastered Shii-Cho and used and won against Grevious with it

[@bastianlopez458]

Yeah but it's most effective when your surrounded or fighting multiple opponents but the user will struggle fighting one on one. The only reason why kit fisto won against grevious is because general grevious was using his four arms and his famous hand spinning technique. Shii cho is one of those forms either you are a novice with the form or a true master, never in between. A true master of this form however, is incredibly random and unpredictable. A master of this form is even more dangerous because of how much the user dwells off of the force to make themselves more random and unpredictable. A true master of shii cho requires more from the force than both ataru and juyo ( ataru masters use the force to enhance their abilities and juyo masters use the force to fuel their emotions that are drawn from the dark side). In the revenge of the sith novelisation kit fisto actually lasted much longer than he did in the movie, he was actually able to catch up with mace and palpitine's duel and actually helped mace catch palpitine off guard and nearly force him to be on defense. The only reason he was killed however, is when he sensed Anakin's presence and kit fisto got heavily distracted by Anakin and this he was decapitated by the chancellor. Kit fisto was not only one of the strongest duelists of his time but he was also one of the most powerful Jedi Masters in the order, due to his mastery of form 1 he was able to keep up and best one of the strongest enemies of the time. Even though he was oftenly random and unpredictable with the form he specialized in and mastered he would often times draw so much power from the force that he went often dive deep enough that he would almost fall to the dark side.

[@shade08538]

@@bastianlopez458 I’m not sure I understand. So basically they don’t use the force to guide themselves, thus making it unpredictable? Cause otherwise i dont know where the unpredictable aspect comes in to what is essentially the most basic lightsaber form

[@CyberController-]

Form 1 is like Checkers. Simple to learn, but difficult to master. We see how someone who's inexperienced like Rey can use Form 1 to great effect, while a master of The Force like Kit Fisto can still kick ass with it.

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

I'm no martial arts expert but Shii-cho appears to have a somewhat Kendo-style to it. Simple and minimalist with an emphasis on down-slashes and forward thrusts.

[@triquetrasystem7737]

as a martial artist thats about mid tier experiance i can say its somewhat similar. However this is a somewhat watered down version of the art they teach at the school iirc, its just like the basics or something. though im not sure about that bit. but yeah, its pretty similar to kendo, which is a derivitive of kenjutsu. Though it also has lesser remesence of the western longsword arts, though not as heavily as eastern longsword.

[@jjs3890]

You’re right. I am a Kenjutsu instructor but I recognize aikiken (corresponding sword system to aikido) when I see it.

[@brianjohnson5272]

I see the IRL influence. It's a mix of kendo and the "posta del a falcone". I also see it strength of simplicity and the simplicity of it's strength.

[@Mortarsare]

Explained Form 1 also known as the Determination Form. Roughly every Force User was taught this Form when first handed a lightsaber. It a Forward Form and Be Very Careful Form 1 User can Detect Traps and Other Feints But Weak To Juyo, mashsai,

[@Pyojjang]

The basic stand and forward step, the thrust and step, and the one step cut is literally kendo (the rest seems familiar but I quit a couple years ago so I don't remember)

[@oldsloppy69]

Kendo, judo, karate, kung fu, it all has these movements. But that is because... Lucas intentionally designed them after real martial arts, specifically eastern styles like Kendo. (And uh the fighting they used in ep 4 5 6 was Kendo, trained to the actors no doubt)

Ever had that moment when you just read up on lightsaber forms and you realize one of them or two of them fit your mannerisms? I had that with Form III.
