Can anyone teach lightwhips?

[Maurelle]

I wanted to give Maurelle even more of a unique style so I thought "What about lightwhips?" Now it would be one of her main weapons, the other being a usual lightsaber, both very small of course, but still it could be fun. I just need to know if anyone out there uses one OR knows the style it can be taught in.

Lightwhips are so different from sabres that the styles are i.m.o. not an effective way of teaching it. Perhaps your best bet would be to practice using a whip against a series of opponents equipped with training sabres and utilising different styles. Thus you would create your own form for the lightwhip based on real combat situations.

Unless, of course, there are masters of the lightwhip present. Perhaps there's a holocron?

I'm starting to think that too, with the holocron. I mean I wanted her to ALSO learn saber forms but the lightwhip would just be a unique angle she had.

Basically what [member="Darth Ophidia"] said, just work on it as you see fit and from there find your own style. On a separate site, my Sith character only used a lightwhip and I had created three forms with it. However, there are drawbacks to using whips such as blaster deflection, but enough practice, willpower, and creativity and you will be fine.

[member="Maurelle"] well Balaya/Darth Praelior uses them and had gauntlets made with them.

Lightwhip thread and you don't mention me? I was using them before they were cool. xD

this is true [member="Darth Hauntruss"] was the one using things before it was cool, she was committing genocide on planets long ago.
