Distinguished as the best martial artists in the galaxys, the matukai made their own bodies the focus of their abilities, and were capable of using physical exercise and discipline as a form of meditation. Keeping their focus inward, Matukai philosophy differed from that of the jedi order in that the jedi saw physical exercise & meditation as separate; however, this inward focus allowed Matukai adherents such a degree of control over their bodies as to develop an otherwise negligible connection to the force into a far more significant source of strength


considered to be masters of their physical bodies, the matukai were capable of drawing on the force to strengthen and augment their bodies to unnatural limits. In doing this they could refresh their spirits with a tireless energy that allowed them to exert their bodies far past their unaided physical limits for hours at a time without tiring. Because of this stamina, Matukai were capable of executing physical feats such as tumbling, running, leaping, and complex martial sequences with a astonishing speed described as a "whirlwind" blur of limbs and movement, additionally, this refreshing of spirit augmented the strength and resolve of a matukai's blows, allowing them feats of strength and power far exceeding what their bodies were capable of.

In addition to this outward physical mastery, matukai were known for their inward mastery and self-awareness of their own bodies. and were able to discern wounds, injuries, and sickness with ease. The Matukai learned to purge illness and poison from their bodies, and even become immune to them altogether, to the point where a fully-trained matukai could shrug off the effects or a normally-fatal sting from a poisonous Kouhun. Trained matukai could also raise or lower their body's temperature to survive in hot or cold environments, or even cause their skin to become so hot as to burn anything that they touched. More experienced Matukai adepts could also give normally soft parts of their body unnatural rigidity to help drastically reduce the physical damage they took and would recieve.


The signature weapon of the matukai was a polearm weapon called the wan-shan, which was tipped on one end with a short-singled edged blade. Each wan-shan was unique and bore patterns etched into the blade to symbolize things important to its creator. Most wan-shans could be broken down into easily-stored pieces, and trained matukai users could whirl it around their bodies in combat, using themselfs as a central axis of rotation. Due to their own physical control, Matukai were capable of wielding the blade with a speed that sometimes astonished onlookers, which was described as a virtual whirlwind of metal and blades. As such, they were considered very powerful combatants with weapons in addition to hand-to-hand combat. Matukai saw the weapon as an external focus for the force, as well as a means of self-defense. The Matukai were agile to the point of being able to dodge or a sizable portion of incoming strikes or blaster shots aimed at them , and enjoyed greatly increased balance and stamina due to their connection to the force. The Matukai order were also known for their adaptability to any situation.

Oh, it's you again, Zeilon / SWL!


No, we already ripped apart those claims in this thread.


The Matukai were a small organization with 50-60 people who were almost wiped out by the Imperial Inquisition (which in turn was largely destroyed by the early NJO Jedi), and shared their teachings with Luke's order as well.

They're good in melee and body control, but overall they're outmatched by more well-rounded orders like the Jedi and Imperial Knights, in addition to being very outnumbered. Their best feat ever is merely beating, at their own speciality, a Jedi known to be weak, nor is being a 'whirlwind' particularly special, there's a Jedi saber technique by the name.



Also, you're a sock puppet account ^^
