Mike’s lightsaber stage 5 tutorial is so enjoying, Lucas films seriously needs to hire him to be the right lightsaber fight choreographer.

[@wolfshade5020]

And hire people that understand how lightsabers work cause clearly no one at Disney does.

There’s a seventh form. But no one knows about it, except for Mace Windu

[@razztastic]

@@axinhedgelion8417 Are you trying to say that somebody like Yoda doesn't know Mace's form choice is very unorthodox and dangerous? You got too much dip on your chip there, little brother.

[@jpp2884]

@@axinhedgelion8417 wrong

[@zacharymccants7922]

@@axinhedgelion8417Form 7 was known, but it was incomplete and discouraged by the Jedi for being too aggressive and requiring the practitioner to relish in combat. Darth Maul used Form 7. What Mace did was complete the form with Vaapad, a style that he created to counter his own inner darkness. Vaapad was really more of a state of mind. It basically acted as a looped conduit for any dark side emotions. This allowed Mace to safely use Juyo.

[@cmdrlightwalker_9877]

The hype for this was real! Thanks for the form 5 tutorial guys. And yes I as well am tired of hearing sword experts saying lightsaber duels should be what they are not.

[@Blake-ej4nb]

My favourite form, great way to demonstrate its dominance. :]

[@FireStorm-se8kk]

A excellent tutorial. I hope you’ll get your 6000 likes, so I could learn form 6. May the force be with you, always.

[@lordspvce702]

Appreciate your continued form tutorials Mike! Very solid info I didn’t know prior to this, especially pulling the blade to make the strikes appear stronger. To those learning also, keep at it! Progress and practice go much further then perfection. May the Force be with you.

[@cassandrawelch1292]

I am soo happy I found this channel! Thank you! It was perfect timing for the upload! Could you do a Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, from Empire Strikes Back? I don't think anyone has ever done a tutorial for that duel yet. Thanks!

[@localteaspillerinml4017]

Finally! The long awaited Djem so tutorial has finally been released! Thanks so much and keep up with the good work man

[@gamithemighty5932]

I can't wait for you to finish this series. I have been trying to figure out forms 1 through 4 lately, but I am not very athletic. so I have instead been trying to figure out how to incorporate each form into easier-to-learn or teach Schematics. for Example: Form 1. Proper swing and Target zone with basic guard mechanics you also teach foot placement and to manage your swing and distancing. Form 2. One-handed Swing and Wrist management as well as One hand block and parry mechanics. Which Allows you to use less footwork Arm Function and energy. Looks like fencing but doesn't have to be. Form 3. My personal favorite, is Fluent blocking swing and parry mechanics, in short how to use rotary strike Mechanics to defend yourself. and finally Form 4. this one is still a work in progress for me. It's kind of tricky but the most basic I can say about it is how to fight with your offhand. does not have to be reversed. but can do it if you need to. As I said I don't have the athletics so I am currently in the process of modifying this one. think the "Oh shit" button. Unfortunately, I haven't had anyone to practice with. so have had to use "The Force" to Predict what my opponent would do. lol aka Nothing but drills. T T anyway, I look forward to your next video. ^ ^ Ps, any chance you could try and Bring back your Lightsaber making the tutorial easier to Understand Step by step Process? Just a suggestion no pressure. ^ ^ Thanks again, Mike ^^ and May the Force be with you...

[@draconianemanations2785]

This ☝

[@Jeddxh]

Probably my fav fighting style cuz of the 2 natures but just how fluid it comes out just by parrying your opponents strikes back towards them. Effective yet you’re not doing much of the work, great vid as always . Been waiting to see how you explain this one

Fantastic tutorial as always! With the upcoming Ahsoka series, I look forward to seeing Rosario Dawson show off more of Ahsoka's Form V style Jar'Kai. What we've seen so far in The Mandalorian has been great. I'll be looking forward to your Form VI tutorial. It was Sith Lord Exar Kun's favorite style, and he was never defeated in a saber fight.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Great as always, never imagined about the exaggerated pullback trick to make the hits look stronger. Will you also cover duel-centric and reverse-grip Shien, before Niman ?

[@Mikestarwalker]

Thanks man. The original plan is to touch on all 7 forms then go back and do more advanced tutorials. But I'm not opposed doing the more advanced tutorials first. Maybe I'll do a poll 🤔

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

@@Mikestarwalker Amazing ! I hope you'll do, and thanks for responding personally

[@theconstantwatcher4008]

Yeah I agree with that I would really like to see a form five modified to look like how Kylo fights, with included flourishes and reverse grips.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

@@theconstantwatcher4008 Bleagh Crylo hardly qualifies as a full Form V specialist. He's a crude as hell Shi-Cho/Form V hybrid practitioner at best, but he's downright awful, overdoing his slashes and swinging like he's using a bat instead of a saber. The way he blocks makes no sense, between stucking his saber to the ground and just batting aside. Trash I'd rather see how Galen Marek/Starkiller fights with reverse grip Shien mixed with Soresu and Juyo. Now that would be more interesting to see applied in a fight.

[@droman608]

I guess it must’ve been extremely hard for Vader because the suit caused him pain. That and it enraged him, further enhancing his Dark Force strikes

Thank you for the basic teaching and please do form 6

[@UTU1O]

This is where the fun begins…

[@TheShadow14150]

Form V: this form actually has 2 variants: shien, and djem so. Both are about using defense to reflect a powerful offense. Shien: the goal is to deflect blaster bolts back in an offensive manner (at the one who shot, another opponent, or even at an object). don’t use it in a melee combat, you’ll get squashed like master Halsey did. Djem So: the goal is to have the most powerful offense possible, and destroying the opponents defense. Anakins form had the offensive aspects and cunning counter attacks of Djem so, but it isn’t very mobile so anakin added the footwork and acrobatics of Ataru (form IV), and to perfect defenses: added the defensive aspects of soresu (form III). Anakin perfected the form by reducing its weaknesses and perfecting its strengths! As Darth Vader, he added the “do the most with the least movement” aspect of form 2 to the overwhelming offense of djem so!

Djem so is also the most similar to kenjutsu otherwise known as the way of the Japanese sword. As I have experience with kenjutsu, djem so would likely be the form I'd use as a Jedi
