It has come to Sionann's attention over the course of the ten year skip that there are those who really need to have some understanding of the not so understood seventh form of lightsaber combat. She is taking a chance in order to better work on her ability to speak, and show that she can give back some of the great amount she has gained from the Jedi around her.

The class will be focused on delving into the basics of Juyo and its philosophies, and upon completion your character can add the equivalent of Juyo 1/5 to their character profiles if you so will. Those wishing to learn further after the class can continue to learn from Sionann if they wish but she can only teach up to Juyo 3/5, as she has not yet become a master of this form, only an Expert. Students will also have a better understanding of the Double-Bladed Lightsaber or Saberstaff if they do not have it already, at least how to deal with one.

Prerequisites (IC):
  • Lightsaber Training
  • Master's Consent (if needed)
  • Part of the Jedi in Exile (How else are you going to know Sionann is teaching this?)
  • Known Self-Control
  • Open Minded


Classes will start off once a group has three students or Iris gets bored and will start with less.

Class (1)
  • Cotan Sar'andor
  • Riin Morisani
  • Lutomi

Class (2)
  • Ilara Aray
  • Arai Munkaira
  • Torias "Tory" Sicarius


Class (3)
  • Lucien Fang
  • Open
  • Open


Sign up if you are interested, please post a link to your character's profile or mention that it is in the siggy, and think carefully before throwing your character into Juyo. It is a very emotional form of combat, and it might make your character experience some less bright sides of the Force. However, if you feel up to it, I am ready and able to bring out the fun.

I'd really like to do this, but my Jedi hasn't been approved yet and I still have to RP her getting together with the Jedi....maybe I'll be able to do all that before the class starts.

Will Knights be allowed to participate?

Rank does not matter, what matters is your character not knowing the form, or wanting to understand the form better. Let's face it, even Masters don't know everything.

I don't think Arikka will be joining the class, but I'm sure she'd gladly debate Sionann all day about which form reigns supreme.

Hmm... not to throw a spanner in the work, but Juyo has never truly been an approved Form practiced by the Jedi. It's an imperfect, and even more Dark-side prone version of Vapaad. And even Vapaad would be restricted as to whom it would be teached to. I would personally never endorse teaching either version of Form VII to anyone below the experience level of a high-ranking Jedi Knight, due to it's exceptional agression and the extreme focus required to use Vapaad or Juyo safely.

Of the three Jedi of the Old Order whom perfected Juyo into Vapaad, only one Mastered the form and avoided falling to the Dark Side. Mace Windu, a Jedi Council Master. And the fact that Kinlan Voss was introduced to the basics of Vapaad was partly atributed to his nigh fall to the Dark Side.

Probably why I believe Sionann will never master it, but the basics are the basics. Of course IC wise, this is Sionann, she wouldn't see it the same way, rather it's more of a "know thy enemy" situation. Also, IC wise, it was never mentioned to be a fool-proof idea. OOC wise, I am itching for activity really.

Riin would definitely be down for this as she wants to learn as much about saber arts as possible.

Cotan would certainly like to join into this. After all, learning the basic strengths (and basic weaknesses) of a form through experience is a great way to possibly gain an edge in combat, rather than just reading about it and the basic counters one can use.

Characters added in, one more left till first class kicks off. So far so good, I just hope Sionann doesn't trip over her tongue or do something stupid, should not be a problem with a basic 'know thy enemy' lesson. Right? I hope, maybe....

Lutomi added. And yes double blades work perfectly, Sionann is a double bladed practitioner. First class thread will be up sometime tonight, and I will eventually figure out where to put it in the training forums, or just generally drop it into the training main forum. It will probably be done in Arbra, where all the Jedi (most of) went off to hide.

I'd love for my character Arai to join the second class.
