Hayai Oujou

rdfs:comment

Hayai Oujou was a lightsaber form developed by Jedi Master Cyril Ahlen Khan in 3,872 BBY. The form was originally created from the techniques of various common lightsaber forms. Cyril had taken what he had considered to be the more useful moves from the forms Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Juyo, and Sokan and transitioned them into a single style. After a few years, however, Master Khan decided to take the combat form in a different direction after it started to appear identical to Niman in both strengths and weaknesses.

Hayai Oujou was a lightsaber form developed by Jedi Master Cyril Ahlen Khan in 3,872 BBY. The form was originally created from the techniques of various common lightsaber forms. Cyril had taken what he had considered to be the more useful moves from the forms Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Juyo, and Sokan and transitioned them into a single style. After a few years, however, Master Khan decided to take the combat form in a different direction after it started to appear identical to Niman in both strengths and weaknesses. Khan intended for Hayai Oujou to become an effective dueling form, which made use of never ending momentum. The form had an interchangeable offense and defense that led masters to state, “Every strike is a block, and every block is a strike.” This statement did not apply to all techniques, but it did to most. Initiates often used the form recklessly due to its difficult techniques and applications, but once training was fully completed, a student would have developed the precision and grace the style required. Hayai Oujou had originally been designed to fit a combatant with a weighted sword and not a lightsaber. Seeing a Jedi apply this style with his lightsaber did not fully reveal the fact that the style was originally designed for the weighted sword, and only the blaster defense techniques exposed this detail. Hayai Oujou had almost no techniques to block or redirect attacks from ranged weapons, because a combatant with a weighted sword and no Force potential had little chance of stopping the incoming fire. The weighted sword was also used primarily in training, regardless of whether the trainee was to use a lightsaber later.
