Sword/Sabre Combat
For this section, a more detailed description on these can be found in The Teachings of Mace Windu
Basic Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Standard
Description: The most basic method of using a sword, and comes as a universal standard to all profiles. Your level of skill in this means one can hold their own against a swordmaster with their own style and skill, though they are unlikely to win.
For example, a Highly Proficient user in Basic Sabre Combat could hold their own against a Highly Proficient user in something like Echani Sabre Combat.
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Standard
Description: A freestyle style that isn't dedicated to any particular movement method, or set striking pattern. However, this style is one that can be trained in. This is what a self-taught swordsman is likely to use, and one can certainly win a fight with it using unpredictability and creativity.
Prakith Sword Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Standard
Description: Strong, heavy hits; each strike is intended to be lethal. In terms of dodging, expect small movement to avoid damage and deflecting attacks, which includes riposting and parrying
Jabiim Sabre Combat

Description: Focuses on engaging the opponent into a sabre lock and then overwhelming them; thus trying to force the opponent to engage in slow and heavy hits is also part of the mental practise when it comes to training in this form.
Programmed Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Standard
Description: Similar to Basic Sabre Combat, except actually calculated with the intention to win. It is either a battle of attrition, or waiting for an easy opening in the opponent to appear. It is a style that can be easily fooled with bluffs however.
Echani Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Uncommon
Description: Thrusts, jabs, and light attacks are important to this style, and it focuses on prodding and poking an opponent. Light steps and exiting the opponent's range are also commonplace, and thus an Echani style user would be classified as "quick on their feet". ff
Every 20 actions that a duel lasts, an Echani Sabre Combat user has their speed temporarily increased by one level, provided they used Echani Sabre Combat in each action.
Chiss Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Uncommon
Description: A three step fighting style. Preparation, then learning, then counter. Designed to learn the methods and patterns of the opponent, and change and mould to fight against said opponent as the battle goes on.

Saberpikes
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Esoteric
Description: The act of using a saberpike.
This is used in CONJUNCTION with another style, and the level of skill rounds down to the level of Saberpikes.

Nagai Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Esoteric
Description: Nagai Sabre Combat focused on killing an enemy through critical blows and psychological torment and manipulation. Withdrawal of the blade from the flesh causes tearing due to the serration, which is a focus of the style.
Style works similar to Dun Moch, with an equal or higher level of Mental Shielding needed to not fall for the psychological effects of frustration and hopelessness (effect kicks in over time).
Kaleesh Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Esoteric
Description: A style focused on teamwork, as well as going in for an attack and then immediately falling back; similar to how a snake bites and hunts its prey.
Rakatan Force Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Extremely Esoteric
Description: Remarkably similar to Juyo, rapid strikes and unpredictable movements are its forte. The style is impossible to predict in single combat, unless one has a non-Force based precognition. Reflexes and senses are usually the only counter. Designed for one-on-one combat.
Temple Sabre Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Extremely Esoteric
Description: The ancient and regal sword fighting style of the Jedi. Attacks flow from one to the other, and the style is designed to end the fight as soon as possible due to Jedi philosophy at the time, as well as energy expenditure. However, the form is mostly ceremonial.
Energy Sword Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Extremely Esoteric
Description: The sword fighting style of using an energy sword, based around lunges and thrusts; with the option of disarming.
Sith Sword Combat
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Extremely Esoteric
Description: Focused on the connection to the Dark Side, it relies on heavy strikes and power-based attacks. The style gets stronger as the fight continues on for longer, the energy building up in the user. However, the longer one uses it, the more aggressive and out of control they get.
Way of the Void
Type: Sword/Sabre Combat - Extremely Esoteric
Description: A style that can utilise projected based attacks, though that is not the style's focus. The style has predominant focus on strong, yet fast hits; and the physicality is exhausting.
