FORMAT INFORMATION

Created as part of Matsu Ike's holocron, the Way of the Flowing Saber serves as a roadmap and training aid, housed within the Temple of the Generalist. It details Matsu Ike's innovative approach to combat, weaving together Jedi martial traditions and Force techniques to create a fighting style that mirrors the balance of Niman and the adaptability of the Way of the Generalist. This entry guides Jedi in mastering a combat form that prioritizes fluidity, interception, and harmony with the Force.

CONTENT INFORMATION

The Way of the Flowing Saber is a hybrid Jedi fighting style inspired by the ancient Jedi principle of flowing with the Force, akin to the "current of Ashla" described in sacred texts. It integrates Force Enlightenment, Battlemind, Inertia, Art of Movement, Force Dash, Force Jump, Endure, Force Punch, Force Kick, and two Jedi-specific techniques: Ashla's Crescent Strike (a Force-enhanced precision strike to the head) and Tide of the Force (a leverage-based takedown using telekinesis). Designed by Matsu Ike, this style draws from Jedi forms like Niman's balance, Ataru's acrobatics, and the precision of ancient Voss Mystics, creating a fluid, adaptive approach that counters opponents with minimal wasted effort. It prepares Jedi for any combat scenario, from dueling Sith to battling droid armies, while maintaining the light side's ethical balance.

Way of the Flowing Saber: The Current of Ashla

"The Way of the Flowing Saber is the embodiment of the Force's current, flowing like a river to intercept and redirect threats. Inspired by the ancient principle of 'moving with Ashla's will,' it weaves Jedi martial traditions and Force techniques into a seamless whole. A Jedi trained in this path anticipates and counters with the precision of a convor's strike, using speed, resilience, and mental clarity to overcome any foe. Through rigorous training, we transcend physical limits, embodying the Generalist's creed: to flow with the Force, adapting to all challenges in harmony with the light."

Physical Training

The Way requires peak physical conditioning, drawing from Matukai disciplines and Jedi Temple training regimens:
  • Matukai Conditioning: Develop stamina and resilience through exercises like those taught to Younglings, enhancing resistance to physical stress and toxins for sustained combat.
  • Jedi Combat Drills: Practice Niman's balanced footwork, Ataru's acrobatic maneuvers, and Voss Mystic precision strikes to build fluidity, speed, and adaptability in close-quarters combat.
  • Force Sustenance: Train to survive without food, water, or air, enabling prolonged engagements in hostile environments like the ash fields of Mustafar.
  • Endure Mastery: Use Endure to withstand pain and injury, allowing Jedi to fight through burns or wounds, as Crucitorn did during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa.

Mental Training

Mental discipline is central, aligning with the Voss Mystics' focus on foresight and the Mist-Weaver's perception of the Force as interconnected threads:
  • Battlemind Focus: Cultivate a focused, fiery resolve to enhance morale and fighting spirit, countering fatigue and fear, as Mace Windu did with Vaapad.
  • Force Enlightenment Meditation: Achieve a state of heightened Force awareness, amplifying mastery of core abilities like Force Dash, Force Jump, and Endure, as Meetra Surik practiced.
  • Ashla's Flow Philosophy: Train to move with the Force's current, adapting instinctively to opponents' actions without rigid forms, fostering mental agility akin to Niman's versatility.
  • Psychological Resilience: Meditate to resist the dark side pull of aggressive techniques like Force Punch, ensuring actions remain aligned with the light, as taught by the Jedi Council.

Core Techniques

The Way of the Flowing Saber integrates Jedi martial and Force techniques into a cohesive fighting style:
  1. Force Enlightenment Amplification:
    • Enhance core Force abilities (Force Dash, Force Jump, Endure) to their highest mastered level, creating an "enlightened" state of combat readiness.
  2. Battlemind Drive:
    • Augment morale and fighting spirit, pushing physical limits to overcome fatigue or age, enabling sustained combat against dark side foes.
  3. Inertia and Art of Movement:
    • Shift body inertia and enhance agility to perform superhuman feats, such as running on walls, executing triple somersaults, or clearing vast gaps, as taught in Jedi Temple obstacle courses.
  4. Force Dash and Force Jump:
    • Increase speed and leap distances, perceiving the world in slow motion for precise attacks and evasions.
  5. Force Punch and Force Kick:
    • Augment strikes with Force-enhanced power, delivering devastating blows or kicks to disrupt or incapacitate foes.
  6. Ashla's Crescent Strike:
    • A Force-enhanced precision strike targeting an opponent's head, inspired by ancient Jedi acrobatic forms, used as a counter after a blocked attack or as a feint.
  7. Tide of the Force:
    • A leverage-based takedown using a half-nelson hold, amplified by telekinesis, to slam an opponent's back against a Force-hardened surface, inspired by Jedi grappling techniques.

Advanced Applications

  • Fluid Combat: Combine Niman's balance and Ataru's acrobatics with Force Dash and Inertia for seamless, unpredictable attacks, intercepting opponents' moves with minimal effort.
  • Counterattacks: Use Ashla's Crescent Strike to counter blocked strikes, leveraging Force Jump for positioning, or deliver Tide of the Force to neutralize armored foes.
  • Mobility and Evasion: Integrate Art of Movement and Force Dash to navigate complex environments, running on walls or leaping across chasms to outmaneuver enemies.
  • Resilient Defense: Employ Endure and Battlemind to fight through pain or fatigue, using Force Punch or Force Kick for decisive counters.
  • Tactical Versatility: Adapt to any scenario, from dueling Sith to battling droid armies, by blending physical strikes, Force-enhanced mobility, and mental clarity, as the Voss Mystics did in their visions.

Training Regimen

  1. Physical Conditioning (1–2 years):
    • Matukai and Jedi Temple drills for strength, speed, and flexibility, focusing on Niman footwork and Ataru acrobatics.
    • Force Sustenance for endurance in extreme conditions, like the deserts of Tatooine.
  2. Mental Discipline (1 year):
    • Meditate to master Battlemind and Force Enlightenment, enhancing morale and Force ability amplification.
    • Practice the Ashla's Flow philosophy to counter rigid forms, as taught by the Jedi Masters.
  3. Core Force Techniques (1–2 years):
    • Train Force Dash, Force Jump, and Inertia for superhuman mobility, using Temple obstacle courses.
    • Master Endure to withstand pain and injury in combat, as Dooku taught Qui-Gon Jinn.
  4. Martial Integration (1 year):
    • Practice Force Punch, Force Kick, Ashla's Crescent Strike, and Tide of the Force, combining with telekinesis for enhanced impact.
    • Simulate counters using Niman's balanced approach.
  5. Advanced Combat Scenarios (1–2 years):
    • Integrate all techniques in dynamic duels and simulated battles, emphasizing fluidity and interception.
    • Train in Jedi Temple obstacle courses, as Fy-Tor-Ana did, to refine Art of Movement.

Ethical Considerations

  • Light Side Balance: Use Force Enlightenment and Battlemind to maintain focus on the light, avoiding the dark side pull of aggressive techniques like Force Punch or Force Kick, as warned by the Jedi Council.
  • Controlled Power: Follow the Ashla's Flow philosophy of moving with the Force's current, ensuring techniques are used with precision to minimize harm, as Niman teaches.
  • Resilience Over Vengeance: Employ Endure to endure pain without succumbing to anger, aligning with Jedi principles of compassion and restraint, as Lene Kostana taught.
  • Adaptability with Purpose: Adapt techniques to serve the greater good, not personal glory, ensuring actions protect the galaxy, as the Way of the Generalist advocates.

The Path Forward

The Way of the Flowing Saber embodies Matsu Ike's Way of the Generalist, blending Jedi martial traditions and Force techniques into a fluid, adaptable fighting style. Housed in the Temple of the Generalist, this holocron section guides Jedi to intercept threats with the precision of Ashla's current, preparing them for Sith, droid armies, or galactic crises. By mastering Niman's balance, Ataru's mobility, and Voss Mystic precision alongside Force-enhanced abilities, Jedi become versatile warriors, ready for any challenge. The Way ensures the light prevails through harmony, embodying the creed: "Flowing with Ashla's will, we intercept the dark with the light's eternal current."
