Honestly I have no idea WHAT style I use

I read a dissertation, and asked a few other forums, and apparently I use primarly Soresu, but am competent with all styles.

Usually, I use footwork, not fast and dancing around, but sure, sweeping movements around an opponent, usually moving in circles. I tend to use a defense style, testing and blocking, getting a feel for an opponent, before striking with a counter strike to end the battle. However, if an opponent is skilled enough, I don't "have" a style, I combine all my fighting experience to create a new style on the spot to try to counter the particular style that the opponent uses, focusing on their weakness to create openings allowing me to strike and end the match.

Against a Really good opponent I use a style I call Still Water. I force my mind to be empty of all thoughts, no distractions, no long plans, and simply react, allowing my body and reflexes to act and attack without having to slow down by thinking about what I'm doing.

Master Venable Offline Junior Member Posts: 23 Thank you received: 2	I tend to use Shii-Cho with Initiates, Makashi with Padawan, and Soresu & Ataru against Jedi Knights. Shien/Djem So is my preferred style when practicing blaster deflection (against nerf darts). So with that said, I guess I am a Niman practitioner.

Personally, I prefer the deadly Ataru and Juyo. Juyo being my most favored. There's just somethign about having that kind of ferocity in each swing while still putting speed and brute strength into it that makes me love it. And then Ataru simply because it's acrobatic and quick, leaving an opponent not well-versed in the art of saber dueling with very little room to make mistakes.

A form I am learning at the moment is Makashi.
