Temple Training (PM for Invite)

[George O Rourke]

Location: Voss Main Temple

George was still coming to terms with being a Jedi Padawan. He hadn't been like many of the other Padawans being around the temples and the force from a young age. But George was sure that he would be able to further himself and learn more and more about the force and what abilities it unlocks. However today was about saber skills. Form VI Niman was on the cards for today, as George understood that learning the basics of Form VI would help him greatly in learning to wield two blades, in the form of Jar`Kai.

As he carried his datapad into the temple George was wearing his simple Jedi robes with both weapons at his side. He always carried both weapons although he had only trained with one and would only use the skills he had learnt, which meant that only one saber was necessary. As he continued down towards one of the training rooms he continued to read about the Niman form. Understanding the difference between each of the Forms and their strength and weakness was something George thought a lot about. As he had begun his training in a few other styles he was beginning to widen his learning capabilities.

As he finished up reading he had made it to the training room. Preparing for the lesson he placed the datapad on the floor in the corner and walked to the center of the room. Placing his hand out in front of him one of the hilts left his hip and wisped into his hand. Igniting in on contact. The blue blade emanating in front of him. He quickly moved into the beginning stance with his feet spread apart with the base of the lightsaber just below his head height. He slowly ran through the movements of the form, executing them was the first step of mastery. Along with the blade he also used the force, practising adding force pushes into the combination. He was getting there, slowly but surly George was understanding the Niman Form.

George continued to train for hours on end before finally returning to his datapad in the corner of the room to relax. George quickly opened up the thread about Niman on his datapad reading and seeing how his training compared to what he was reading. I think I did that right. Seems pretty similar to me. He though to himself as he looking at diagrams of the correct way to execute certain Niman Form moves. Happy with what he had achieved he decided to move onto something different.

He decided to move onto some force abilities. Reading about the force interested George as the possibilities were endless. He read that meditation is the key to unlocking the strength of the force within. Sounds easy enough. He though as he decided to unlock more of the force inside himself. He placed the datapad down on the ground and sat cross legged on the ground. Closing his eyes he begun meditating. His aim was to learn the initial stages of telekinesis, being able to pick up object with the force. He cleared his mind focusing on the two hilts that sat at his waist. His aim, raise them into the air and move them around. He used his mind and attempted to pick up both hilts at the same time. There was no luck, his attention was split over the two and that just wasn't enough. George was still a Padawan and his strength in the force was not the best. There was still a lot for him to learn.
