Maki stands on the beach of Kashyyyk, the sky was overcast with a breeze, the air of salt water from the ocean. Maki wearing his replicated armor of Darth Revan and as well the replicated mask. He was on his knees, eyes closed in deep meditation, focusing on the force, clearing his mind. Maki was here to practice saber combat with his padawan [member="Potentas"] Maki felt all the life forces around him, the wild life, the wookies, the Jedi, the fish, all moving along with life. This beach was so calming, the waves crashing against rocks and the shore. Maki softly opened his eyes looking through his thin visor taking in the beauty of this beach. Maki looked to his right into the trees and grass, he looked up into the tree and saw wookies walking around doing their own thing among the tree top villages and catwalks. A beautiful structured system made by the wookies.

Maki was wondering what was keeping his padawan, he had requested his presence on this beach for training. Probably working on his studies. Maki shrugged then turned to look out at the water as the ocean crashed in and out onto the shore as he patiently awaited his padawan.

[Potentas]

Potentas made his way down to the beach, taking deep breaths as he did so calming his mind. Truthfully Potentas was rather excited to be practising saber combat with his master. Potentas worked hard on his lightsaber forms and was looking forward to testing his skill against his Master one of the finest swordsman in the order. Potentas finally caught site of his master admiring the ocean.

“Good morning master, I apologise for being late I was researching, a Jedi Manual on the different paths a Jedi may take in life.”

Potentas explained with a formal bow.

“Don’t worry though I am more than prepared for our training duel, I have been focusing on my Shien and Ataru.”

Potentas said with a wry smile, beginning his stretches, focusing his breathing and clearing his mind. In lightsabre combat a clear mind was just as important as a fit body. A distraction could cost you your life, passion could cost an innocent’s.

­As he went through a basic warm up, Potentas felt his body and his mind relax into a position of comfort yet alertness. Prepared for any danger he may face.

“Ready when you are Master, don’t worry I won’t hurt you” Potentas challenged with eagerness.

Maki see's his padawan arrived and listens to why he was late. Maki rises to his feet and nods to him. That's perfectly fine my padawan, First lesson, you're never ready. You've come here today expecting a simple training session with lightsabers, but what i am showing you is that when battling enemies especially of the sith nature, you must be willing to understand everything that they can do and learn to counter it, or block it. In a battle with a sith, everything is permitted. for example. Maki stares straight at his padawan and without moving a muscle not even a twitch maki sends a massive blast of force energy at his padawan. Maki then quickly ignitied his lightsaber, the violet plade glowing beautifully. Maki was curious as to how his padawan would handle this, to dodge this would take some serious agile movements due to just the sheer size of the blast. None the less Maki would be waiting for a counter attack or whatever the padawan could do to come back at Maki.​

 

[Potentas]

Potentas had no warning of the attack, he barely sensed the gathering of force as the blast hit him, but he recovered quickly. Potentas turned the force of the blow into a backflip in an Ataru move igniting his lightsabre as he did so landing on his feet, Potentas sent a response blast with his left hand, enhanced his speed and let loose a flurry of lightning fast strikes. Saber Swarm, followed by an attempted Sun Djim in an attempt to disarm his Masters weapon, without causing injury to the man himself.

 

[Maki Dominus]

Maki saw the blast coming at him and stuck up his left hand and blocked the force blast. Maki then watched as his padawan came rushing at him, Maki quickly dodged the attack to the right and then got behind his padawan and then charged at his padawan and leaped to a log then leaped off it to do a spinning kick to his padawan's face while keeping his saber down to block an attack at his foot. If Maki missed the kick then he would of follow up with a low mid slash with his saber.

​

 

[Potentas]

Potentas ducked his masters kick, blocked and parried his masters midslash, trying to put the pressure on his master with a series of attacks feint, slash, overhead cut, underhand cut, pressing the advantage as he did so. Potentas finished the flurry with a sweep of his masters leg with his own right foot while coming in with his saber from the right and then the left aiming for the throat which would decapitate an opponent in a real fight. Though Potentas was prepared to stop his saber fool swing when it reach his masters neck.

 

[Maki Dominus]

Maki landed on the ground and focused in the force blocking all of his flurry attacks. Maki then noticed his padawan swinging for his neck, Maki reached up and grabbed the blade if his padawans saber stopping it mid swing. Maki focused his power in the ability to sustain the absorbing of the blade. Maki looked to his padawan Rule 2, never underestimate your opponent. While his opponent was distracted, Maki went and did a straight kick to his padawan's gut, if successful his padawan would keel over or fall to his knees.

​

 

[Potentas]

Potentas blinked shocked at his Masters power. Stopping his lightsabre mid swing with his hand. Potentas hadn’t even known that was possible. He had heard stories of some Jedi doing something similar but assumed that they were exaggerations on a Jedi’s already impressive abilities. Potentas was still shocked when his Master’s masters blow caught him off guard and in the gut, as it was supposed to. Potentas coughed and grunted as he doubled over.

 

[Maki Dominus]

Maki took a step back and watched his padawan fall over. Tutaminis Maki begins pacing watching his padawan. It's called Tutaminis, I saw your shocked gaze that I caught your lightsaber with my hand. It's an ability within the force called Tutaminis. One could draw potentially harmful heat or electrical energy into their bodies and diffuse it or channel it away completely, in this case, stopping a lightsaber. This is an ability I can teach you, then in time you can master it as well, if you choose.

​

 

[Potentas]

[SIZE=10.5pt]"I look forward to learning this ability from you Master, I'm sure it will come in great use during combat, plus I always look forward to learning new abilities.” Potentas gathered himself and bowed to his Master, then relaxed into an open fighting stance, lightsabre forming a high guard. “[/SIZE] Although I’m sure Tutaminis would be useful if I’m ever disarmed of my lightsaber, f[SIZE=10.5pt]irst though I would like to continue my Lightsaber training, I need to grow more in skill if I am ever to face the Sith in battle.”[/SIZE]

[Maki Dominus]

Maki simply nods to his apprentice. Then I'll teach you a favorite of mine that I utilize a lot, Ataru, very acrobatic, very difficult to combat against if you're good at it, you have to be lightning fast, no room for error. See this rock here to me left, use it to your advantage, run at me, leap off the rock do a flip over me, swing low, the reason I say swing low, most times your opponent will expect a chest or behalfing swing so that's where they will swing to block, but you'll be swinging low taking out their legs, the only counter for this is to be lightning fast to block it or jump over your blades, come try it on me.

Maki activates his lightsaber and prepares for the attack.
