Maul and Yoda same fighting style?

I noticed they do the same kind of butterfly flips etc, is it possible they practice a similar martial arts style?

Maul flips like 3 times. Yoda flips during the entire dual.
I spose its possible though.😬

Maybe if so interesting!

Yoda is form IV, same as Qui-Gon

Maul fights the sith way, which looks somewhat like jedi form VII(windu)

well technically "the forms" are not ever really mentioned in the movies, so its not concrete that yoda and qui-gon used the same form. EU says that maul uses the same form as Windu however..

The guy who does the choreography for the battles made up the forms, based on swordplay from the movies. Is he EU?

Uhhh... the forms are canon as they appear in official SW related material, ie... the visual dictionary, not some gay EU novel.

Jeeze everone needs a lesson on what is and isnt canon!!!

NO nick galliard is not EU and the forms he made up became the ones like Soresu(III), Makashi(II), Shein (V), and Ataru(IV). In episode 1 we were unaware of the forms. In episode 2 we were made aware that different jedi use different forms of saber combat. We had Roman numerals telling us the names, and in Episode 3 the forms got formal names all from the visual dictionary, which if im not mistaken is as canon as they come.

Yeah, exactly.

maul actually fights with teras kasi. there is a starwars ps1 game with same name

Maul and Yoda are both masters of the Whup-Ass fighting style.

Yoda's fighting style is fueled by the Force. Maul's is a mix of Teras-Kasi and a double-bladed lightsaber, which will add more spins and less stances because of that slim chance of self-destruction. Maul's looks a bit more complicated while Yoda's fits him perfectly.

Well YOU certainly need such a lesson- the Visual Dictionary is EU!

And the forms might or might not be something that Nick developed in order to help his choreography- though I am not convinced that the forms the EU talk of are the same things that he has developed, especially with all this relative talk of 'levels', but that's still irrelevant, because the forms, their histories and their nuances, as described in the EU novels, are all entirely non-canon.

Visual Dictionaries are on par with movie novelisations and radio plays based on the movies. They are considered canon. Or so I was lead to believe.

How come Yoda makes flips and jumps and shit.But can't walk without his walking stick?

Because he can't walk... He can jump but he has problems with his right leg so he needs a stick to walk... When he jumps he only uses his left foot

To answer the question, no, they don't use the same fighting style. However both are highly agile so both implement that when they fight.

They fight different
cuz Darth Maul fights Vaapad
And only him,mace windu and depa billaba

If it isn't in the movies, its not canon.

they are different like Sodo said one uses complicated way of fighting Yoda uses force in moves and attacks/defence. They are different they both masters they are not like Siths they learn from each and work to gether more team players. Siths are more Solo work alone no partners or team just find what they need to know or learn and kill their masters. 😛 Jedi way so much nicer you live longer :/

maul- teras kasi
yoda-ataru

its as simple as that
