Grozurra
Armored Wookiee
Grozurra was standing among the other Mando'ad in @[member="Ember Rekali"]'s little class and glared at the little box of Sith lightsabers. Pressing a small button on the left hip of his armor, the wookiee pulled out his own lightsaber and stood beside his brothers. When they were instructed to pair up and begin practicing, the mountain of muscle and armor that was Grozurra stood across from one of his brothers and held the weapon in a basic combat stance. Focusing his senses on his sparing partner, Grozurra activated the golden blade of his lightsaber and lashed out at his sparing partner with a single, powerful strike.
The Hound of Keldabe
Strider walked over to @[member="Petra Cavataio"], lightsaber in hand "What ya say Cyar'ika? want to take a few rounds out of this old man?" The old mando proposition the dangerous but very attractive witch with the impressive curves. To emphisize on the challenge Strider position himself into a defensive stance, his body bladed and the tip the the light sabre pointing down in the swordsman stance of the 'fool'. He may not be a master of the force or the lightsaber, but he was a student of the blade for his entire life and old habits die hard.
" Come at me!" He commanded with his infamous sly smile

"Well you might just as well try and hit me with that Roba sticker." Ordo said squaring off with the new Skirata, "the saber jockeys shabla sure will."

With a grin hidden under a blue visor, Davin took Ordo's invitation...Rather immidiately. Without waiting for him to finish the sentence, the red blade came down like a hammer, though Davin knew he threw his arm out. The thing held no weight, and thus was difficult to swing at all. It was rather frustrating.

The red blade crackled as he swiped at Ordo. He moved to block it but the blasted Jettiise'kad was like swinging an ale bottle and Davin's red saber bounced off his black shoulder plate and left a gouge.
Ordo exhaled Sharply and swung his bright orange blade at his vod with a grin.

The blade felt like putty in his hands, and his attempt to parry the blade turned into a wild flurry of spinning, the blade flying out of his own hands and deactivating and Ordo's own attack landing a blow to his left side, leaving a red hot dent in his armor.
Goddess
All the back and forth the two shared. Petra could not stop from getting up and reach behind her. Taking her saber out, there was a naughty grin sent at Strider. She did take a moment to think it over. This training that Ember was doing had a serious intention. If she did duel with Strider, she could take the teasing and make it training for the old Mando fart . That was enough to justify her igniting her saber and letting the purple beam extend from the hilt.
“Fine, old man… let’s see what you can learn.” Petra smarted back at Strider. Walking towards him, her saber was twirled from left to right and back. It gave her a chance to loosen her wrists and feel flow of her saber’s movements. When she got closer, the motion stopped, and it was held in front of her. Then she brought it back and to the right side of her. Left foot was moved forward with the toes pointing at Strider, and her body slighting turned to the right. From that position, Petra made her move. She pushed saber upwards then swung down in a fluid motion while her body moved forward at Strider. It was a downward swing aimed at his head.

Strider had a few options from the ‘fool’s guard’, he could quickly side step left to try and avoid the incoming attack while at the same time just lifting the tip of his blade and thrusting forward to spear the lightsaber into his opponent, or he could be pro active on the defence and twist his blade to snap Petra’s incoming high attack in a parry then counter attack.
Split second choice, Strider quickly twisted his wrist to clash his blade upon Petra’s from the inside using his strength and agility to parry the attack off to the side and downwards. The old mandalorian’s counterattack would be to slide his blade up Petra’s in a angle attack aimed at her hands, forearms and shoulders and High torso….if the blade was not on stun.
Strider was a master swordsman, trained and schooled in the ways of the beskad, a weapon much heavier then the lightsaber. Petra on the other had master the ways of the force, this was a mere mortal going toe to toe with a Goddess, odds were never in the old mans favour.

Ember circled the stone training floor, boots scuffing on rock or sliding on moss and vine. Yavin IV didn't exactly respect civilization. But then again, he'd spent fifteen years marooned on a pre-technological paradise. In a lot of ways, Ember didn't much respect civilization either. He observed the class, gave pointers where needed -- but it looked like they were doing well enough.

Daughter of Fen
Mia slipped in and watched from the shadows. Always there mouths were moving in taunts but despite the jokes there was determination in their eyes. Some people might have asked why? What was the point if the Empire was gone? Mia knew better than to assume that the Sith wouldn't come back, hell she knew better than most people that they were resourceful and would cheat death for as long as they could. Sith weren't their problem now though, Mia's eyes were looking in another direction, she was looking towards old allies.
The Republic were moving across the stars at an alarming rate and with brutality that matched that of the Empire. They needed to be ready for anything. Another war could be a possibility, and Mia would rather not be caught with her pants down. She stepped forward as Ember came close to the shadow she was lurking in, giving him a curt nod in greeting.

"You better grab your Jettise'kad Ner Vod." Ordo said swinging his Orange lightsaber in the air. "Cuz if I lay this thing down someone's gonna know its been laid."
Ordo waited starting to get the idea that you had to let the tool do the work not the arm.

Wincing and looking down to the still glowing dent in his armor, he grimaced under his face plate. Lightsabers...were dangerous and powerful tools. Jogging to go pick up his weapon he returned to the circle, activating the blade again. "Alright, round two big guy." Moving into the opening stance as taught, he waited for @[member="Ordo"] to do the same. This time he wouldn't let the blade hit. This time, he would not swing the blade like a beskad, and hopefully he wouldn't screw things up again.

As he had before Ordo assumed the opening stance of the "Dem Bones" form or whatever the Jetiise called the shabla thing. He was starting to get the idea that lightsabers were like plasma cutters. you had to let the blade do the business. Some arm was needed but not like the beskad.
"Round two?" Ordo laughed "i don't think even Strider could call a quicky like that a full round."
Ordo got ready and lifted the blade with a little more finesse and brought it straight down at Dav'ika. He moved slower this time focusing on getting the movements straight. There would be time enough later for speed. First he'd focus on training the mind to guide the body later he could think about power and speed.

It seemed that Davin was the one being given the first strike, and so he took it. Lunging forward in a much better controlled attack than before, he attempted to mimic the male Witch's movements. The yellow blade moved through the air, meeting @[member="Ordo"]'s blade as the two danced the dance of the modified Djem So. How the Jedi and Sith used the silly weapons was beyond him, he would honestly rather use the beskad, but this did have its own advantages. It seemed that once one got the hang of it, it required much less energy than the heavy style used in beskad dueling. The weapon itself was lighter as well, adding to the mobility of the combatant.
This was good stuff.

Some of the Mandos had slacked off, but that was their business. Ember wasn't the sort to impose teaching on anyone. He returned Monroe's nod and moved over to stand with her and Petra. Arms folded, he watched Ordo and Davin Skirata go at it hammer and tongs.
"Field Marshal Ordo...I'm not that great with the part of the Force that senses things, but my gut says he's Force-attuned at the very least, probably Force-sensitive in a major way. He's already good enough to tackle most Force Masters of my acquaintance, just on Mando skills alone. We manage to give Ordo some real skill with the Force, we'll make something that hasn't been seen in centuries."

Slowly Ordo began increasing his speed and power. The need for this would come up time and again he was sure of it. Both he and Davin would come up against forcies. They needed to be able to face them down and keep Mandalorian space Mandalorian.
Who knew what would rear it's ugly head in 10 or 20 years to come. Peace would crumble and the need to be ready and dig in would be dire.
"Lets add foot work, Dav'ika." He said as he stepped to the side circling the younger man as they practiced.

Ordo didn't have to tell Davin twice. He knew what happened when you stood still with enemies circling you. You got flanked, and getting flanked by a lightsaber is not something he wanted right now. He already had to go see MCM about the dent in his armor, he didn't need any more. Following suit he began to circle, waiting for a perceived opening in the larger Mandalorian's movements.

Ordo raised held the saber low and back as he moved then planted his feet for strength and swiped his saber toward Davin's left side. He was trying to do this Jem Soo right even if the right name for it kept eluding him.
"Mmph." He grunted as he swung for the fences, again.

Sizzle...
The two plasma blades collided as Davin parried the blade, countering with his own strike. This time, not throwing his weapon, and using a much finer stroke than before.
