Shadow Approach to Combat

on . Posted in Shadow Content. Hits: 818

Combat lectures have been appearing more and more often. Combat is a part of life, but for Shadow Jedi, falling into a conflict should be viewed as a small failure, unless of course you are doing it in the defense of another.

Shadow Jedi Combat is not like any other form of combat, simply because it is not guided by the same laws and rules that guide other systems of combat.

For the Shadow Jedi, defeat is only a result of failure to your teachings...What I mean by that is the Shadow Jedi do not actually try to defeat their opponents. Instead they become one with the intentions of their opponents, thus making their own intentions work against them..

For a Jedi every piece of matter in existence, and on every vibrational wave length is potentially a tool of your will. That in itself is not enough to always win in a combat situation, or rather, always preserve life...What is needed along with the basic acceptance of all things being at your disposal is also the ability to let the attackers intentions bring them to the point they want for you...

In this process you must empty yourself...every thought, desire, ambition, fear, and most important, hesitancy. Once you have emptied your mind, feel the world around you, feel the anger of your opponent, feel their ambition to harm you...Now take on their consciousness...Let their intentions reflect on them, let your actions be guided by theirs...Let go of everything and become like water moving with the flow of your opponent...

Weaponry is something that also needs to be addressed...when approached by an attacker wielding a weapon you must alway recognize that even though they possess the weapon, they and their weapon are potentially your tools...as is everything around you from a phone cord to a sharpened pencil...The constructing of weapons, such as swords, and lightsabers in the star wars universe is used more for the cultivation of discipline rather than for the need of the actual weapon...In reality if you let the force guide you the appropriate weapon will appear at the appropriate time...there is no need for conflict within yourself, even if there is a gun bearing attacker confronting you...

Most important of all things is to let go of yourself, and move with the winds of the force, if you do this there is no need for fear or hesitancy...and as such they must be let go.

(See links below for alternate translations) The Ineffable The Force- The Force is a loosely adapted term to explain something which all cultures agree exists, but disagree on exactly what it is. As such, a Jedi dedicates themselves to an understanding of all things within and through the Force. As a rule, no Jedi can set down in law a concrete definition of the Force for all to follow, only for themselves. Core Ethics Loyalty to the Jedi Code- This has a few different variants depending on what order a Jedi attends. A Jedi is bound by the code. By maintaining your loyalty to the code, you are able to keep your actions in check through the moral integrity of the Jedi Path outlined in the Jedi Code. It is important that a Jedi checks their own version of the code against the original codes…
