Lightsaber Combat Forms

When most people see lightsaber battles they're just in awe of the skill of the people wielding those lightsabers. What most of you don't realize is that there are seven distinct combat forms for anyone fighting with a lightsaber. These forms are very similar to martial arts kata in that a series of movements have to be learned and then built on for use later in combat - although the lightsaber arts take this to a whole new level.

Usually a Jedi will favor one form over another when it comes to combat but some Jedi will take parts of different combat forms and combine them into something more unique. The most advanced form is the 7th one and is so powerful that many Jedi refuse to train in it because it involves so much emotion that it gets too close to the Dark side.
