Which Form do u use?

The seven forms of lightsaber combat

Each Jedi chose the style of lightsaber combat that best suited him or her. For example, Master Yoda used the Ataru form to compensate for his lack of reach and height; Mace Windu used Vaapad to tap into his anger and employ it constructively (albeit without giving himself over to the dark side); Count Dooku's practice of the Makashi form fit first of all his intention to frequently engage in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, and second his emphasis on class and elegance as well as precision. The Jedi Exile was a practitioner of all of these forms, but only excelled to the point of mastery in a few of them. He often used his knowledge of multiple styles to great effect in combat, allowing him to switch styles during fights and confuse his enemies.

Form I: Shii-Cho "Way of the Sarlacc" or "Determination Form"
Form II: Makashi "Way of the Ysalamiri" or "Contention Form"
Form III: Soresu "Way of the Mynock" or "Resilience Form"
Form IV: Ataru "Way of the Hawk-Bat" or "Aggression Form"
Form V: Shien / Djem So "Way of the Krayt Dragon" or "Perseverance Form"
Form VI: Niman "Way of the Rancor" or "Moderation Form"
Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad "Way of the Vornskr" or "Ferocity Form"
The seven forms were not merely swordplay moves, they represented seven different kinds of philosophy. In addition, a lightsaber was not necessary to execute the seven forms: each form could be applied in unarmed combat. Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto had demonstrated such talent during the Battle of Haruun Kal and the Bio-Droid Threat respectively.

... To Other Forms ...

These forms were not considered a part of the seven main or "classic" forms, and they may not necessarily be official. Some were systematized methods of lighsaber combat, while others were merely techniques or principles of combat applied to lightsaber combat. They were mostly based on other forms, with the exception of Form Zero, which emphasized avoiding conflict whenever possible.

Form VIII: Sokan
Form IX: Shien
Form X: Niman / Jar'Kai
Form "Zero"
Dun Möch
Telekinetic lightsaber combat
Tràkata
Trispzest
Mounted lightsaber combat
Double-bladed lightsaber combat

Just choose the form u would use with a lightsaber and add a comment. If u know nothing off Sword/Lightsaber forms go to:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber_combat
it is the best source for info on the forms seeming that i'm someone who actually is a sword master and staff master who might be working on the nxt star wars films, and edited any wrong content out.

Enjoy...
I would of put the Double-bladed lightsaber form in the poll but there wasn't enough spaces...

Djem So or Juyo. I dont know how you tell the difference between them.

read about it,
the first is a Shien form mixed with Djem So
the second is a Shien form of its own accord its a does have alot of differances...

I've studied european and Japanese fencing, so my style of fencing is closest to Makashi, and then Soresu, with the disjointed moves of Vaapad linking the two forms.

i use Teras Kasi, but Makashi for one sword. and for two i use Vapaad.

Djem So pwns.

Like so totally awsome goodness, like like like like like so totally pwns?

Makashi is by far the best. With it you are a nearly unbeatable opponent. And then there is the fact the great Count Dooku used and mastered it!!!

Ataru.

haha, a basic form eh? o well, we all have our favorites.

Form II: Makashi

@Sesse:Agreed.

I use this too, I find it works pretty well.

I use a form which doesn't require the use of the Force, a lightsaber, or any training.

Pretty cool. 😛

You scored as Form IV: Ataru.

The master practitioners of the �Way of the Hawk-Bat," make extensive use of acrobatic manoeuvres often thought not physically possible. Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda were both masters of Form IV, as shown in their duels against Darth Maul and Count Dooku, respectively. In dire situations, Form IV practitioner use the Force to aid in their acrobatics. Spinning, jumping and running very fast and very high, masters of Form IV are sometimes only seen as a blur. In order to achieve the acrobatic prowess, a Jedi Master would focus on the Force, letting it flow deeply throughout his entire physicality.
