Who Knows Tutaminis? I Wanna Learn

"One who does not knows they are not ready, are not. One who believes he is not ready is. A fool only believes he is ready for everything."
Taking that quote into consideration, I would recommend that you start learning this power later when you don't NEED to. if you need to learn it, then you are not ready. Because all you will do is push and push to learn what you will not likely use. Learn it later, and become a master through the natural process of learning, before you venture out on your own. As well, Tutaminis, or in otherwords, Energy absorption, takes a lot of skill. While it says in the link you shared that it was taught to Initiates of the Jedi order, I would like to point you to notable users listing on the right side. if you look there, you will find all powerful force users who were known to be powerful and were feared and/or respected simply because of their name. A rare few on this board know how to use this power effectively. And I ask, why learn this power, when there are other suitable replacements for such a power?

Well I understand the skill that is required. I'm not ready for everything and I probably said that in a bad way above. I meant I think Oka can harness the energy or at least learn how to efficiently, but not perfect because of the skill it takes. I'll probably wait as you suggested. What are some replacements? [member="Xander Carrick"]
I seen you've been teaching people part-time. Would you mind to train me? Like with force levitation to save falls and force impulse? Thanks

but wiki says Tutaminis is a ability taught early and it grows through your experiances.

And id like to learn it as well

[member="Oka Osaa"], As said in the Wiki, Even Jedi initiates could learn of it. However, to use it correctly, and effectively is why most Jedi Padawans are not taught it now. Even some Jedi Knights or even Jedi Masters (myself included) find others ways around not having this ability.Oka Osaa said:
Ever since the trailer came out for the SWTOR with Satele Shaw using this to stop a lightsaber coming for her head, people have tried to learn it for the use of defending against a lightsaber, and it even says so in the Wiki, when in truth, it was rarely used for blasters, and or Sith lightning, merely because absorbing Dark side energy can corrupt all that it touches. so let me give you an example.
Jedi padawan Gim learns this new ability, and because he feels that he is better than a Sith, he goes and picks a fight with one that is higher level than his own. In the process of absorbing a dark side power to defend himself, he becomes slightly corrupted. It was just a small thing of letting his anger take over his emotions. But that will lead to using it again, and again and again. Humans are a creature of habit. If it works, they will use it. if it keeps them alive they will use it. So while Gim may have good intentions for the use, it will slowly corrupt him until he becomes a Dark Jedi or even a Sith given the amount of time and other possible influences. As well, [member="Javik Quar-Kai"], You both are not Real Jedi. You each work with other groups to get a better chance of learning things. it is because of this, that we do not teach you to absorb energy because we want to convert you to the light, not give you a reason to fall to the darkside.
Now, as for overcoming it, My form of it, was to simply not be hit. Literally. I am probably the only one on this entire board who has done threads to amplify my use of Precognition. And for that, I have a very high chance of seeing your moves before you do them. Hell, probably before you even think of them, I will know what you are doing. I also use Teleknesis (which I major in with a Minor in Force Cloak and Illusions for my Jedi Shadow side) So I can simply call rocks up, or if they are attacking me without a weapon, I can jump away from them in a tactical retreat to find a better spot to fight from. You will find that the Jedi Sentinels will last longer than any other jedi because they use other means to get what they want done. They don't rely on their saber skills alone. They use other types of weapons, tactics and otherwise labeled as "Non-Jedi trained things" to take advantage of the situation. They are also sometimes called Militaristic Jedi because they have part of their training in use of military gear. Hence why when in a battle, I have not lost when in a duel. (No joke, I have not lost, but I have tied) because I use ALL available options, rather than just stand there and rely on a single use of the force to "Possibly" defend myself from blaster fire and Sabers. Which would be an ability I would only use unless in dire situations like "Oh no, my saber is broken my other one is gone, and I have no other way to defend myself because I forgot to wear my armor."
In short what is a replacement of this power?
Tactics, Pure Skill, and the Will to Live in the Light.

Where would I get these teachings? And that makes sense. Although I want to learn it, the dark side isn't a choice. Could you teach precognition to me or is that one you save for your full apprentices? Or if you know force cloak, force levitation, force impulse, or telekinesis. I'm trying to get Oka closer to the force. I agree, tactics are needed and I also wanna be a skilled shadow too. Maybe its too much information at once but I saw your character sheet and all the stuff you know(in the force) is incredible. [member="Xander Carrick"]

[member="Oka Osaa"], If you want me to teach you as a Shadow, then I will have to do so as my shadow. I would never be able to teach you skills like Force cloak out in the open (As Xander is not known to use that ability from an IC standpoint. EVEN XANDERS GIRLFRIEND DOES NOT KNOW OF HIS FULL ABILITIES.) However, Yes I can help you learn and expand on your teachings of Precognition, and Telekinetic aspects of the force. (Levitation is counted as Telekinesis) They are things you should already know as a Knight. As well, I have had years of practice seeing as I started from the age of 14 and am now 28. (14 years of IC time spent learning.) And even then, I COULD have more force powers under my belt, However, the reason I look so good on paper (Oh yes I do look mightily fine) Is because I stick to the powers I have, and use them because I know that they work. Not go off and learn other abilities.
Here in the Real world, I work for a Gunshop, and own guns, and have been around them since birth And over the years, I have heard a saying "A man with one gun, is more dangerous than one with a million" meaning that the one man who owns only one gun is more dangerous because he knows EXACTLY how his weapon works. Where it's faults are, and how to not expose them, or to even overcome them with something else. (not another gun) While a man with a Million guns will know of his guns, and know how to use them, But not to the extent where he can use them effectively every single time. I am like that with my powers. I rely on less amount of force powers because I know one can be dangerous even with a "Underrated" ability such as telekinesis and Precognition.
The point of me saying the entire paragraph above, is before you start looking for more abilities to learn is to figure out what you want for your character. Do you want him a Jack of all trades, an Experanced fighter (Melee, Force or both), or a Specialized user of Melee or the Force? Find that out now so you can build up to it. This entire site is about building your character from the ground up. You just need to find where your ground is at.

I want to learn melee combat tactics and force tactics. Oka knows some of telekinesis and levitation and impulse but not an expert. It would be great if he could become a master at them and know how to "use his gun". [member="Xander Carrick"]

[member="Oka Osaa"], Then I am your man. 
So we don't flood up this thread anymore with my Walls of text, how about we take this to a PM where we can discus the more details about what you plan on doing.

[member="Oka Osaa"], I won't be able to at the moment as I am busy with two characters at once. So I will do it tomorrow or you can do it.

I'd like willing to learn it. Zatt's already corrupted, depending on how you look at it. Plus, he only knows what he knows because of instinctual self-training. Lightning, for example, is something that just flowed out.

[member="Zatten Black"], I do not know if you read all of my walls of tests for posts, but I mentioned that the Silver Jedi would prefer you to be of a Knight rank, as well, We don't condone becoming Darker. Nor do we simply say "Oh it's okay if you can fall but other's can't" So you probably won't get any lessons from us with that sort of mindset.
As well, I cannot teach you that, because I, myself, do not know how to use that ability.

Oh....
So it's likely I'd have to go to a Master in another order and ask them to teach me?

Not turning, Oka. Just going to an allied, or maybe neutral group and asking around.
