Do you think that based on the jedi philosophy their martial art should be aikido?Next of Kin wrote:More like borrowed. Some of his concepts like the stepping backwards punch were around in jujisu in medieval Japan.Robert Treder wrote:It's the fighting style that Bruce Lee developed. IIRC, it was the world's first 'freeform' martial art. Also, it kicks ass.
I mean really.
Can you tell the difference?

I would think that a jedi master would be so fined tuned in the unarmed arts that he would be able to dispatch a foe with the least amount of effort possible. Hey wait a minute! They'd be doing Aikido then!weemadando wrote:Next of Kin wrote:

Hey, wasn't it in Shadow Hunter that Darth Maul used various classic "Teras Kasi" moves, such as Funny Monkey Business style attacks? Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little (okay, more than a little), but IIRC that seemed to be the general guide to how the author had named Maul's various "Teras Kasi" moves.
