History

Form Zero: Sagat Form Zero was the basis for instruction of lightsaber combat that was originally defined by Jedi Master Yoda in describing the lightsaber technique of Felanil Baaks. The art of Form Zero lies in a lightsaber that has not been ignited. A Jedi cannot protect and serve the galaxy in the Jedi way if he/she does not know when to draw his/her sword and when to resort to different means of solving a problem. The knowledge, understanding, and wisdom behind the idea of right and wrong encompassed the idea that a Jedi who feels the necessity to use Form Zero, the absence of violence, is truly gifted in the ways of the Force.

Abitsu (Gripping the Lightsaber)

Level: 1

Difficulty: VE

Description: Many beginners tend to hold the lightsaber too tightly. In the beginning, training should concentrate on gripping the lightsaber properly. The lightsaber should be held loosely but firmly. It should act as a natural extension of the dominant hand. There should be a space between the hands, this allows for better mobility of the weapon. The dominant hand should be next to the hand guard; this is the weapon's center of balance. The majority of the grip strength is applied by the little finger and the index finger is used for balance. Beginners are often taught to grip the lightsaber with the index finger extended to train them not to use this finger for gripping. The non-dominate hand should grip the lightsaber close to the butt of the weapon.
