What does the wealth of [thread=60191]Kai Sera[/thread] and the connections of [thread=60799]Jade Evoyn[/thread] get you? Jedi classes at a Nemeira island resort. Knight Sera and padawan Evoyn have been friends for a long time and have trained together on many occasions. Now is the time for others, for you, to join them on their most relaxing and spiritually awakening training sessions yet. Kai will be leading most of the classes with Jade assisting him in these classes.
Introducing, the [thread=60866]Nemeira[/thread] resort classes.
Form III Soresu:
The Way of the Mynock, or the Resilience Form, is the third of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat. Soresu was developed during the widespread emergence of blasters as an offensive weapon. Essentially a development on Form I blast-deflect training, Soresu relied on tight bladework and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Over time, Soresu transcended this basic origin, and came to be considered the ultimate expression of non-aggressive Jedi philosophy. Like Makashi, Soresu relies on economy of motion and energy efficiency, keeping up constant blade-movement to build up momentum and minimize energy-expenditure. Form III focused on strong defensive technique to essentially outlast an opponent, waiting until he began making mistakes due to frustration or fatigue, before taking advantage of these lapses and countering.
Form IV Ataru:
The Way of the Hawk-Bat, or The Aggression Form, was the fourth of the seven forms of lightsaber combat. An aggressive style, Form IV was fast-paced and effective against single opponents, though weaker in prolonged combat and confined spaces. Also, it was not recommended for use against opponents wielding blasters. Ataru was characterized by Force-assisted acrobatics, such as somersaults and leaping strikes, both for attack and defense. Another characteristic of the form was its fast, powerful strikes from multiple directions. Notable users of this combat form during the Old Republic included Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn. The New Jedi Order preserved knowledge of Ataru and Jedi Masters such as Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker, and Kyle Katarn all employed it.
Art of Movement:
It was essentially what it sounded like: a higher form of movement developed for use by the Jedi Order. The Order trained their younglings in this art by means of an obstacle course. A reflex and agility exercise; students were ordered to traverse a difficult obstacle course within the Temple, while avoiding beams of light cast from the ceilings, walls, and floors.

Force Stealth:
Also referred to as Force Concealment or Buried Presence, was a power that was used by highly skilled Force-sensitives to mask their Force alignment (Light or Dark), their ability to use the Force, or even their entire presence from other Force-sensitives.
Force Barrier:
Force barrier was a very basic application of the Force. Depending on the individual, it manifested itself differently, appearing as a shimmering, stasis field of Force energy. In combat, these barriers were capable of absorbing a wide variety of physical and energy attacks. Force barriers were only used as defense and couldn't be used as a 'wall'. Depending on the strength of the individual, the barrier could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing.
Tutaminis:
Tutaminis was an umbrella title used by the Jedi Order to classify Force abilities related to energy absorption. While taught to all Jedi during the days of the Galactic Republic, it was a rare feat to be capable of dissipating concentrated energy such as what makes up a blasterbolt or lightsaber blade. The skills associated with tutaminis all related to the idea that, through the Force, a Jedi could draw potentially harmful heat or electrical energy into their bodies and diffuse it or channel it away completely.
Also available:
THE BASICS:
For Beginners! This will touch upon one's core powers of sense, basic telekinesis, speed, jump as well as basic lightsaber instruction!
Advanced Telekinesis:
The primary purpose of most telekinetic powers was to move objects through space. Force-users could use this ability to push, pull, and lift objects, as well as to stop or redirect projectiles. It could also be used to disarm or attack opponents. It could also be used as a method of defense for the user or the target. This class will focus on different applications of the power outside of the standard push/pull that one can use while out in the field or in a duel as well as ways to counter such abilities.
Posting orders for all threads will be whoever is teaching (Jade and/or Kai) then everyone else. In order to ensure classes do not stall and die everyone will have one week to reply every round of posting which resets with my post. Basically once I post everyone gets a week before getting skipped.
