GOOD MORNING PADAWAN..TODAY WILL MARK YOUR FIRST DAY OF LIGHTSABER TRAINING. NOW...LETS BEGIN. GRASP YOUR WEAK HAND AROUND THE BASE OF THE HILT AND YOUR STRONG HAND JUST ABOVE YOUR WEAK HAND. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOW ASSUME A FIGHTING STANCE. LEGS SPREAD APART ABOUT SHOULDER WIDTH, A RELAXED BUT READY POSITION. GOOD...REMEMBER THE FORCE IS A JEDI'S ALLY..USE IT TO CALM YOUR FEAR AND AND STRENGHTEN YOUR STANCE AND RESOLVE IN COMBAT. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
OUTSTANDING...NOW THUMB THE SWITCH AND TURN ON YOUR SABER. BE CAREFUL ...THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW AHH OVERZEALOUS PADAWAN WHO HAVE NOT GOTTEN USED TO THE BLADES MASS AND WEIGHT..IF YOU NOTICE ONLY THE HILT HAS ANY WEIGHT..THE BLADE ITSELF IS MASSLESS. GOOD...NOW COMBAT WITH THE LIGHTSABER IS A UNIQUE ART. IN FACT, OFTEN ONLY A JEDI OR A JEDI STUDENT CAN LEARN TO WEILD IT EFFECTIVELY BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY IN MASTERING THE WEAPON. |

|
|
|
NOW..THERE ESSENTIALLY NINE BASIC CUTS. EACH CUT HAS AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION..IMAGINE AN "X" THEN IMAGINE A "+" OVERLAP THE TWO AND THERE YOU HAVE THE OFFENSIVE STRIKES. OF COURSE A LEFT HANDED PERSON IS GOING TO HAVE A STRONG LEFT SIDE WHERE AS A RIGHT HANDED PERSON A STRONG RIGHT SIDE. UNDERSTAND? GOOD. TRY IT. HERE IS A DIAGRAM IF YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
THE CUT WILL START AT 1 AND WORK ITS WAY TO 2 OR 3 TO 4, OR 7 TO 8. NOW KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ALSO IS THE OPPOSITES I.E. 8 TO 7, 2 TO 1 AND SO ON. IT MAY BE A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT IT WILL COME IN TIME. |
