When Ashoka uses her double blade it reminds me of a rapier and dagger in historical swordsmanship.
I was thinking the same lol
Good point.
Though later she used two long blades.
@@TheRezro You are right she did. Good point.
Actually Ahsoka still used a standard lightsaber and a shoto. Keep in mind, one of the slightly curved hilts is shorter than the other
Allen, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path of mispronouncing Ahsoka's name that I can't follow.
Because of Obi Wan?
You did this to me!

Dual Wielding is like wearing Sunglasses. It may not necessarily be ‘ideal’ at all times, but it looks cool. And that’s what matters. 😎
I would rather look lame winning than look cool dying.
So to stretch the analogy having a variable length lightsaber blade is like having reactions.
Kinda mad you aren’t wearing glasses in your profile pic
Looks pretty badass in the games.
picture this, a single weild combination of both versions of form 5 and form 3, you would be basically a tank, impenetrable defense and devastating offense
How many lightsabers should you hold?

Yeah.. they REALLY idolized spin class.

The reason Ahsoka has a shoto is because she was using a reverse grip on her saber. Reverse grip isn't very good at rapidly blocking blaster fire at short range. Just look at the fight on alderaan between Ahsoka and the bounty Hunter. Anikan encouraged her to start dual wielding.
@Cody Brock sing was a Jedi initiate at some point in her life. But that's not the point. The point is Ahsoka picked up a second blade for better defense.
I never understood why they don't use a blade like in fallen order... Two lightsaber who can join together forming a double bladed saber... You can use one alone and then surprise the enemy with the second one or use them as a dual blade saberstaff then divide them for a surprise attack... You have so much more variety
complexity. Why we choose to drive cars with 4 wheels instead of having the vehicles convert to 2 wheel use on the highway for better fuel efficency and have deployable wing sections for lift or downforce in sharp turning.. A simple saber is ultimately the more economical choice with fewest things that could go wrong. A spoon that is good at being a spoon instead of a spork, etc.
@@NoobNoobNews well I don't see much the complexity of two saber joint together at the bottom. We see that lightsaber already had something at the end to attack them on the belt... Someone have a ring other have more complex system like magnets instead of that add a joining mechanism and is done... The only problem I could see is the crystal not always you get 2 crystals... Usually you get one... In fallen order cal already have a double bladed lightsaber but one emitter is broken... Then he get one crystal that broke in two so is like the perfect match... But I don't think get a second crystal was so hard before the empire... Jedi control illum so I guess you can go there and get a new one...
First off, it's not very ideal to be a jack of all trades when it comes to fighting. Simplicity and efficiency are often more than enough, like Dooku. Secondly, the problem with double bladed sabers is that you gain an extra blade but not an extra weapon. You get an unwieldly staff that you now have to avoid as well and you can still only employ one blade at a time. The enemy also only has to keep track of one side, because the other side can only mirror it. You might catch an opponent off guard by dividing them, but that's a one time trick and if you don't end it there you've no longer got an advantage. It's just better to have a plan that could work even if the enemy knows about it than to try for a surprise.
@@Nezxmi I don't think so... Think about maul he use a saberstaff but was defeated because obi cut the staff in half same with some of the inquisitors asoha hit the spinning disk and broke it... So if in that instance you could detach one of the blade without losing your weapon I think is a good deal... You can discard one blade and go for only one.. True maybe can be considered one time trick if the enemy know your fighting style... But I think combined with different forms of combat could become more complex... A lot of jedi later on don't study all the forms but usually create an amalgamation from them... Because don't have the time and the jedi order backing them up.... That's why unusual kind of lightsaber become more common... Like the saber blaster made by erzra.
I think you could use more than one time as a trick... You could start with one blade with the second hidden.... Then put out the second and go dual welding and then go saberstaff... Or made all believe you are a saberstaff user they try to cut your staff in half an you devide them and strike...
If I remember right in the animated clone wars movie, Ventress has hooks on the bottom of her sabers and combines them together to make a saberstaff for a quick fight against Anakin
I remember reading several articles from swordsman and historians doing tactical analysis of Lightsabers, and they stated Lightsaber combat irl would look more like Fencing as opposed to the flashy swordplay seen in Star Wars. This is because the entire blade is lethal. Just a single poke or puncture can result in lethal damage.
It would probably be some kind of cross between rapier and military saber, rather than Olympic fencing which is structured around a rather strict set of rules. However it would be modified to account for the extreme lack of weight in the blade, which makes "power strikes" rather pointless since momentum requires mass.
@@khadenallast4495the lightsaber hilts are supposed to quite heavy so heavy grip and zero weight to the blade would be weird

Dual wielding is fun, but also more confusing and limiting than you'd expect until you try, it really does take a lot of practice to get good at it. For a greater immiate advantage with less longer term training go for the curved hilt. When I saw Attack of the Clones for the first time my inclination was to think that the curved hilt was a silly gimmick that wouldn't actually make a helpful difference in combat. Then I built one on a whim, gave to to my brother, and dueled him with my normal straight hilt: normally he was a near match for for me, I being able to almost always beat him after a few minutes of wearing him out and then using a feint, dodge, or grappling to get him, but this time he and I were both surprised and thrown off our rhythm. He nearly eating my saber twice in the first couple blows because of how much the curved hilt changed the angle of his blocks, and me then getting smacked upside the head because the subtle change in the angle of his attacks caused me to misjudged a parry.
I'm very confused at all the mispronunciations of Ahsoka Tano and I'm not sure if it's purposeful Obi-Wan level trolling or not but I'm kinda here for it?
Generation tech is very famously know for the same "keep earth human" philosophy as the empire, or everyone back when neadrethals were a thing
Quix Silver I though he did it because everyone was roasting him for mispronouncing Ahsoka Tano’s last name.
@@N120Xeno Meh, that too
Quix Silver I figured the keep earth human thing first when hearing that and not gonna lie it’s definitely a part of generation tech that gets annoying.
Same
The reason that people in real life by and large don't wield is because it is usually better to use your second hand with a shield, or a two handed weapon. And a lot of people in certain places and times did dual wield. While it is hard, almost no one walks into battle armed with only one single handed weapon. It's always better to have anything in your off hand, even including a coat.
In the spirit of dual wielders, I would love to see a versus battle between Pon Krell and General Grevous :^)
That would be absolutely amazing.

Allen's gone meta and started making fun of his own pronounciations.
One of the most important reasons to use one long and one short weapon while dual wielding is it is a lot harder for the blades to become tangled with each other.
Exar Kun: “So your telling me instead of a staff I can make this two separate weapons?”
*So anyway, Exar started slashing*
Exar Kun’s greatest strength and weakness are the same, his trick lightsaber
@@KumaoftheForest It wasn’t the lightsaber so much in my opinion. It was how his skills were more oriented for melee and saber battle. That, too me, Is what caused his downfall. If he looked more into the force and unlocked more of the mystery’s of the Dark Side, he could of easily combated the Jedi bombing and sealing.

Rule of Cool
I thought you were gonna talk about Starkiller. I've been scammed
After spending some time in the Lightsaber Dojo on my Oculus Quest 2, I can confirm that although dual wielding lightsabers looks cool and is fun, it's compromised. You don't have any free hands to force choke, push or grab opponents - so you are purely reliant on the sabers, which are actually quite difficult to coordinate effectively. I played around with dual wielding for a while and then went back to a single saber with a free hand for force powers - and was far more effective.

Something I noticed in Jedi Fallen Order was that a duel wielding lightsaber opponent (Tarron Malikos) was weaker when it came to defend against attacks while Cals defends was tougher.
Duel wielding is like putting most of your skill points in agility and attack.
Don’t listen to the other comments. Your straight faced butchering of Ahsoka’s name is hilarious.
Historically, dual wielding was not only well developed in some places, but a signature of certain schools of duelling.
Used almost exclusively after the age of the firearm had begun, when armour and shields were less useful, it provided an extra block or attack in fencing. Often the second blade had extra features, for trapping an opponent’s blade, even if for only a moment, even breaking them.
Have another look at that last duel between Grievous and Obi Wan. As he backs off, Obi Wan is studying the movement of Grievous's swords. Once he has the pattern down, he thrusts his blade at the right moment to completely arrest the two whirling blades. Obi Wan was never off balance, he was using his renowned patience to his advantage. I'm just saying...
Alan: "Co-ordination is not something that can be taught."
Also Alan: Drops his toys while trying to assemble them.
This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them
That's also why Anakin was so skilled in Revenge of the Sith he was seamlessly able to switch between one handed attacks and two handed attacks.
I like the idea of dual wielding because I'm an agressive fighter (I fence occasionally but haven't tried swordplay yet). Plus, it just looks cool.
Duel wielding is really not that great.
It can be fun, but it is also difficult to do. Due to your fencing background I would suggest starting with rapier and dagger, since this would be more familiar, and branch out from there.
I researched dual wielding for a book I am writing and from my finding I am writing that having a reverse (ice pick) grip would be used mainly for defensive actions.
catching and deflecting incoming attacks and counter slashing, where as a forward grip is used for attacking and flipping between these grips would change the attack patterns. Also in fighting multiple opponents having both blades in a reverse grip would be a mainly defensive battle focusing on counter attacking while deflecting multiple incoming blows.
I think you meant to say, "Osaki Teeni". 👍 😜! Lol
I can totally agree.
I'm using Dual wielding at HEMA contact fighting. (using two sabers)⚔️
It took very long time to learn fighting with the other hand, including training the small muscles. Also it took a lots of extra time for learning very special movements to not accidentally hit your self.
In the end, I can truly be two enemies at the same time and attack way more fast, aggressive and with strong variations on my opponents.
But after 5 to 10 minutes it is extremely exhausting in mind. After a good fight, my head feels like a burning volcano.

Swtor is not Canon unfortunately
Yeah but it is a really interesting story for a video game at least
@@clickityclack6264 I agree
Dual, independent blades offers the ability to strike two dissimilar targets simultaneously thus negating a singular defensive parry. Considering that the fantasy weapon in question cuts effortlessly through nearly any material the power of said strike is immaterial if not blocked or parried. So two is better than one.
Star wars nerds be like: technically Grievous quad weilds, because he has four light saber.
By the way this is a joke 😂
Please don't take it seriously.
I love that he uses howling on the background at the sponsor

Damn Alan ain't worried about burn in with his monitor
Dual double-bladed wielding is the most impressively. (General Krell)
Allen, love what you're doing here. Big fan! Wanted to comment and ask a question. As a life long practitioner of martial arts, I think your assessment of dual-wielding lightsabers is pretty believable due to force users being pre-cognitive and the light-weight of lightsabers. On Earth there is close to no historical record of dual-wielding actually being a thing, outside of Filipino Eskrima and Miyamoto Musashi's own home-brew style. Mainly for reasons you cited around lack of coordination and using the off-hand to hold a shield, which was common since armor was not developed to the point of full plate for lack of technology to create large enough plates for it! However, once full plate was all the rage, weapons had to be developed to open those cans up. Enter the two-handed swords, poleaxes, etc. My question is around the reverse grip. If there's little historical precedence for dual-wielding, there is even less so around reverse grip. At least for swords. The whole idea around the sword was distance advantage. It's very natural for a mammal to raise their arm and bring it down holding a hafted weapon like an axe, or even a rock. We see monkeys do this, too (with rocks!) What is not natural is to stand in front of danger with a pointy object. That takes significant training to override the instinct to use a sword as a metal club (or how we see Rey fight with a lightsaber, which she swings like a baseball bat). The only reverse grip sword techniques I'm aware of can be seen in European treaties is a murder stroke. Either on horseback to take down those annoying foot soldiers grabbing at you, or to direct your blade in-between those pesky impenetrable plates. Otherwise, a reverse grip completely negates all the range advantage and cutting leverage of a sword. Even defensively this does not make sense because you don't want to receive a blow with a sword directly and risk snapping your blade. Best practice is to redirect a blow or receive the blow closer to the hilt where more of the force can be absorbed into your hands/body. But generally that's if you're unarmored. In full plate you'd be like a tank, just taking hits while mowing down anyone in your way with your two-handed death instrument. Also, unless we're looking at legends there seems very little, if any, precedence for reverse grip in canon. It feels like Ahsoka was provided this style to make her character pop, which I consider lazy writing. It's like in The Last Kingdom where Uhtred it the only character who carries his sword on his back. No one in all of history did this! Mainly because it is much slower to draw from your back than your hip, and it's physically impossible to draw a blade from behind you when the blade is longer than your arm! Back scabbards and reverse grip are the fallacies of ninja comics and Hollywood. And for that matter, where did Ahsoka learn this technique from anyway?! Aniken certainly didn't teach it to her or we would have seen him use reverse grip. OK, rant over. Sorry, I get worked up. I'm interested in your response to this given you put a lot of Star Wars into believable and understandable context.
As a dual wielder myself there are a bunch of advantages and disadvantages.
For one the bastard sword is a good weapon to use against dual wielders but also the fact that you have to put a lot of effort into the swing on the bastard sword leaves you wide open to attacks while you are resetting your arms for another attack.

Jedi could have clipped both lightsabers on one side of their belt one over the other like a Samurat's Katana and Wakizashi. The Samurai were one of the many inspirations for the Jedi and it's a good look to boot. We must never forget the rule of cool.
Very good points. It does, however, get a bit silly in more recent Star Wars material how frequently important characters end up dual-wielding for pure "rule of cool", like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Barriss Offee and fricking Palpatine (who I know is supposed to be a master of basically everything, but should not even require a saber at his power level).
Another important point is that two LONG blades are far more likely to get in each other's way, which is why in real life we see either a long blade paired with a shorter one, or two short blades together so you can maneuver both more freely. Given that we've seen a few times that saber length is adjustable in the hilt, it would be interesting to see a Force-using dual wielder who constantly switches which blade is the longer one, to catch the opponent off-guard. Bit of an "I am not lef-handed" situation.
I like the subtle difference between using two standard length lightsabers vs one standard and one shoto
“We can only focus on one hand or arm at a time”
Drummers: “pathetic”
Dual wielding is something you want to do when you are fighting in a group. You use your two swords (or axes, or maces, or hammers) to distract enemy combatants and then your allies can take care of them. Wielding just one weapon is for when you want to "hold until relieved".
Power and solid attack and defense vs speed and control and multiple enemy fighting
There is a video somewhere on UA-cam of 3 professional fencers facing off against 50 other people. Given the odds, even though the professional fencers lost in the end, I still give them the win. If you watch the video you will see why.
Cal Kestis has the right idea, having a light saber that can be used
single or double bladed and single or double wielded, truly the swiss army knife of lightsabers
But can it FLY?
Energy sheild generator gauntlet that has the ability to extend and surround you or your opponent. Also energy sheild on armor to protect from blaster fire so you can focus on attacking more than defences. A jedi tank would of been awesome to see.
Yoda : Much like master and apprentice two blades are : one can sharpen and improve the other ...
what makes you unique makes you strong ... this you must use ... yourself you must always be ...
Ahsoka : I think I understand ... I need to fight like myself
Yoda : learn well you have ... learn you should from your master ... but take what you learn and make it your own you must
Ahsoka : thanks you master yoda ...
During the Old Republic Jedi had Sentinels and the Sith had Marauders who were dual wielders. Its in the handbooks.
Energy sheild have the ability to be fluid or stiff. It sounds like the bending and warping spacetime combined with a superfluid that can disperse energy, perhaps quantum tunneling to redirect energy in multiple directions. Occilating magnetic feild can disrupt spacetime and have the ability to polarize to push or pull. Extending a magnetic feilds width in one direction without losing strength could also contain plasma.
Also would allow you shape it to be flexible like a whip.
The sheer cool factor that would blind your enemies the moment you ignite them thus giving you an opening to cut down your opponent.That's the advantage of dual wielding.
Also, lightsaber go spinning *burrr* sounds.
Speaking of Alien, there is a famous reference that used in Marvels and Star Wars Resistances Season 2 episode 1 where Spidey and Kaz get pulled by villains being air pushed out the ships until they break the line with a help from their recusers. Do you guys remember that reference?
Dude when Ashoka told Maul, "You're lucky Anakin didn't come instead of me." Ohhh shhhiittt!!
Dual wielding is something naturally ambidextrous Jedi could master pretty well since we have better control over both hands.
It is not only often combined with Makashi, but also with Form VI as far as I have read…
surprised there was no mention of the guard shoto at all, Maris Brood dual wielded these and I'm sure they had an extremely potent defensive potential.
5:28 Spinning, that's a cool trick
9:34 There are a lot of rock/metal drummers that would like to have a word with you. I can focus on all 4 limbs at the same time. Different finger rhythms, different speeds and number of times hitting the different drums/cymbals. All 4 limbs can literally be doing different imputs at different speeds.
After you practice, it just becomes second nature and you don't even realize half the time what your limbs are doing, because you don't need to focus on them. They just do..
The same could easily be said for a Jedi using two blades. Not only would this very much be possible for someone who puts the time and effort into training, but the Jedi literally have cognitive abilities that would allow for better use of multiple limb fighting.
"Lightsabers aren't heavy".
The darksaber- 😂😂😈
I just want to note that there are a number of practical reasons why dual wielding guns aren't a viable option.
Firstly there's reloading, where you need to somehow store the empty magazine and load in a new one in a timely manner.
Second, there's aiming. It takes a ridiculous amount of effort to track one target, let alone multiple. Add on keeping your weapon steady and actually pointing at what you want to shoot and it's likely that you'll miss more often than not.
And finally, there's the simple fact that one gun is usually enough. It's very rare to wind up in a situation where being able to shoot twice as much is actually useful.
If you have dual sabers you could use a saber to block and the other to surprise stab, and if you work long enough with the dual sabers you can attach them to make a Double bladed.
Alan, with all this study of saber technique I fully expect you to participate in SaberComp 2020.
I double-blade-dare you.
Niten Ichiryu is what the Jarkai style is based on, and the answer for why it works is that one weapon is meant to defend and deflect, the other blade is an instant riposte. It is extremely difficult to defeat with one sword and no shield of any kind.
Also, "Shoto" just means "Short blade." It doesn't have any requirement to fit between a wakizashi and tanto. You could have a samurai with a nodachi for their "Daito" or long sword, and a katana for their shoto. Humans also _absolutely can_ use multiple weapons, or sai, and kama, and parrying knives and so forth wouldn't exist as a paired weapons. Butterfly swords, tekko, tonfa, kama-kusari, all come paired. All it takes is a good deal of practice to build up the mechanical skill to do complex actions with them.
You can swing multiple times on a single attack turn, and bust it with Master Speed and the correct light saber form.
yoo force speed or force rage with dual sabers is goddamn terrifying, it's like a frenzy of death
This videos should've been a collaboration with shadiversty, still great video
The reason why samurai and medieval Knights used long and short swords in dual wield is because when actually using two long swords you end up clanging them together inadvertently. Even if you're a grand master, the enemy can force the two swords into each other rather easily and thus fuck you up. Then the enemy would cut you down in a very unflattering way and that would suck.
Two short sword dual wield does not have this problem. So SIZE does matter AND how you use it! (Sorry, I couldn't resist! 😜)
