Lightsaber Forms Explained | Shii-Cho Form 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Today we will be explaining lightsaber forms. Form 1 in particular also known as Shii- Cho. This was the first form crafted as the transition from swords to lightsabers became more common. Most of the same movements carried over into this initial form, however, while Form 1 was amazing against multiple foes, when it came to one on one saber combat Shii Choo unfortunately fell short leading to the development of 6 more lightsaber techniques.
Enjoy part one of the series Lightsaber Forms Explained.

Enjoy part one of this 7 part series of lightsaber forms. These are not heavy deep dives but more brief overviews. Up next will of course be Form II!
Also, I should clarify due to an error in my script: zone 4 is obviously more than the BACK, its also the entire midsection from either direction.

Thanks @AT-AT Chat
@@J.B.... Thank YOU for watching. Next week will be fun.
I love that one doesn’t simply call him Kit or Fisto. It’s Kit Fisto or nothing!
He's the besto
@@ATATChat 🤣
That reminds me of a girl I met after a haunted house experience. She introduced herself as Terri Allen. I thought she meant it as one name and it was so different. So beautiful. And it didn't help my scrambled brain from my first french kiss being just a few seconds before, that it didn't even register her brother was one of my good friends.
You can't have one name without the other and have it mean the same thing it did when you were locked in innocence. If you're talking about Kit, you're talking about Aunt Kit. If you're talking about Fisto, it sounds a bit perverted... and how is that even a real name?
@@ATATChat cuz he’s badassto
Glad you’re doing this series. I’m actually starting a saber spinning tutorial series on my channel, so learning about these saber forms will be very useful!! Can’t wait for more!!
Hell yea
Just subbed
@@ATATChat thanks for the support I love your channel!!
I've been looking forward to this.
Edit: This video was much more detailed than I expected, I'd even say this one was better than some of the hard core lore based channels. Great work!
It was hard parring it down into under 5minutes. But I appreciate it! New series are always hit or miss.
I was in Tae Kwon Do for several years, and whenever we practiced our forms we always started at the beginning. The most basic forms make the foundation of what you learn later, and if your basic forms suck, then everything you do after that will suck too.
Hey Mollie got a question
@@Rey20171 What's your question?
All right how about this. Want to see Grogu talking to baby girl Solo in Reys womb with Ahsoka even accompanying them
@@Rey20171 Oh no you took your question down. Sorry I couldn't get to it sooner, it's a busy evening. But I kind of figured that Ben and Rey would want to keep their kids hidden away from the public for a while, kinda like what Adam Driver is doing with his son. Then, if there are multiple children, they'd wait until they're all at least in their late teens before taking them to the more heavily populated worlds and letting them be known to the galaxy.
@@Rey20171 And yes, I'd like to see what you have next 😊
Only form I can immediately recognize is Makashi, so hopefully this series provides more clarification on the benefits and weaknesses of each form.
Aside from just knowing the base names like Soresu, Jar Kai, Djem So, Makashi and a few basic details my knowledge is very limited. So I’m enthusiastic too learn more about these styles of lightsaber combat and I look forward to future videos such as this 👍🏻
I recognize form 4 when I see it
I don't think kit fisto should have died that easily he was such a good fighter
He was no match for the senate. Jedi scum
*YAY, First video of the series!*
That was a pretty cool analysis. I never really looked into the 7 forms, excited to see how this series goes.
Welcome aboard
Thicc Fisto lost to Emperor Palprotein
HAHAHAHA, amazing
I think of Form 1 as more of a creative blank slate, and choosing between it or another form really depends on how you prefer to learn things. All the other styles can trace their lineage back to Form 1 basics with the added perspective and ideas of some prolific master who added his or her own take to it. So the real question when choosing a form is, do I prefer to learn someone else's take on Form 1, or do I prefer to explore myself? The time spent learning a new style could be spent getting better at what you have. It's like Bruce Lee said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Additionally, Shii Cho's emphasis on force attunement can only enhance a practitioner's flexes, precognition, and augmentation. It's totally the rout I'd go, with the addition of Ataru's kicks and agility.
I feel like Kit Fisto's death in Revenge of the Sith was too quick. Darth Sidious, while powerful, is a tad overrated at times. That's just me though.
Kit fisto was One of the best duelist, yet he goes down like a punk when the order goes to confront palpatine 😂
Well what could he have done when a whole senate is coming spinning and screaming at you.
Be that as it may, at least Fisto provided a good defense unlike the other two masters who were disoriented by the Sith scream.
In the animation (TCW) he is really amazing. With that said, ROTS had some wonky blocking.
@@ATATChat oh no I know he's awesome in clone wars dude 👍 it just makes his death a lot more ridiculous. It is indeed wonky
@@rogueguardian I wish a fan would re envision that scene like scene 38
You have to have a good foundation to build upon, lest you get blown over by the slightest breeze.
As a martial artist, these forms are indeed unique, and the martial combat forms as seen in various lightsaber duels across the galaxy.
Ma boi Ben Solo coming in with dat Sarlacc sweep 🧹
3rd
thats is hella professionl
Very cool series! Looking forward to the next one and the fifth as Makashi and Djem So are my favorite forms!
Haha Kit Fisto was "simply unable to compete with Darth Sidious." 🤣
He did last a couple seconds longer than two out of three of his fellow Jedi, at least.
I wish someone would redo this duel in TCW animation the way GL envisioned it.
Everybody loves kit fisto
its impossible not to like him
Played him constantly on Lego SW 😆
@@HufflinPuffs same here
Oh hell yeah!!!
I know 0 about lightsaber forms so this will be an interesting series.
Then we shall duel.
Oh you're going to have so much fun with this.
Enlightening
thank you
you are very welcome
There is literally no difference between the forms.... nonsense
Well looks like that old Samuri film that George Lucas used for inspiration is still very useful today
I'm glad you're making a series on this. I think learning all forms is more beneficial. I imagine if you're more skilled in one than you are in the others; then sticking to that form mostly could be a good thing too. It also depends on your opponent as well.
I can't wait to find out what forms Luke and Ben Solo practiced.
Thanks for making this video. I think from what I've heard Cal Kestia is another note able practicioner of form one. Considering that jedi fallen order has a parry based combat system says enough. You can take some good examples from that. Cal uses a lot of disarming techniques and is notable for cutting off people's limbs like he did to the 9th sister on kashyyk. But he has made his own style by using basic combat with finishing blows. I'm hoping that when the second game comes out we get to see his with more refined saber skills considering he was a I'm hiding for 5 or 6 years not being able to practice.
Oh God, I need the sequel now. But yeah, great observation. It was interesting seeing obi wan as a notable practitioner of Form 1 given his views on it.
@@ATATChat actually I was talking about Cal Kestis. Not Kenobi.
@@spudgebeethoven6495 just going out on a limb here, but isn't Cal a Niman (Form 6) practioner ?
Really looking forward to Makashi and Djem So.
Awaiting _Soresu_ and dual-blade (can't remember the name; only that it's a sub-type).
OMG someone actually paid attention to Ben solos lightsaber forms I'll be checking out the rest of these videos!
This is more detailed than I expected , this is a very good video great job AT-AT.
No I’m dying to see form five and seven.
Could be interesting to turn this into a vs series down the line
@@ATATChat that’s a very cool idea, with some pros and cons about each form.
and the best form to counter another one
And the best moves to counter.
Form I could be defined as “the way of the street”
😂 this made me laugh too hard
Great video! Thank you for the details and examples. Since ypu are analyzing the Forms: which form do you think that Ben Solo used for the fight on Exegol? I can't really place it but it was beautiful
I actually checked out most of his moves afterwards. To me, it looks like form 1 because of how often he has the blade straight up or horizontal. My guess is at Luke's academy, they never got too far beyond sparring due to no sith for 23 years arguably
@@ATATChat It makes sense actually! Thank you for the reply! Do you believe that using a particular form made some Jedi better duelists than others (for example Dooku)? Or was it just about skill and adapting to the situation?
@@gipsnadel6418 I think people who excelled at velocities and their desires form were probably the most capable, with that said it does seem that with age, mastery becomes so good that lightsabers can't settle anything. But mostly, it seems like form 2, 5 and 7 are the most dangerous.
Nice, Count Dooku is up next!
The gentleman himself
600 likes!
Its kinda upsetting how much of a badass Kitfisto is in Canon and he just goes out like a binch and just stands there to get stabbed in episode 3.
I mean I get it, stuff made after can't really affect stuff like that which came before, but its still funny how inept all of the Jedi fighting Palps are in episode 3 hahaha
Palps just yells at him and he dies
@@ATATChat me when my mom says my full name.
Nice. I've heard a lot of videos that talk about the lightsaber forms but its always fun to hear them again. I've taken several quizzes on this subject and found that my top three forms would be Makashi, Soresu, and Niman.
Awesome video my mann!🤙🤙
Much appreciated. Been enjoying going back over all this stuff too! So much information is buried in Star Wars Insider.
@@ATATChat yeah that and visual dictionary type stuff books anything that is actual star wars and not bs drama . Thats why i love this channel
As someone who is a HUGE lore junkie, for some reason, lightsaber forms always seemed goofy to me. Never much cared for it. Hopefully this series will change my mind.
They're definitely a retcon into canon but animation wise it's pretty sweet! Hope you dig all 7 videos. 🤟
@@ATATChat Haven't disliked a single video of yours so far, so I'm excited. 👍
Been looking forward to these since you first announced the series. And I have to say, I am not disappointed. It was great full of information I knew about but was unsure whether you would include them (such as the ideal and live combat forms, I think they go back to the attack of the clones visual dictionary).
When I think of Form I I always think of Obi-Wan when he’s fighting Durge in the clone wars micro series, the way he is attacking diagonally, slashing with each step as he forces Durge to back pedal and deflect the attacks.
Wait the old cartoon network one! Yea
@@ATATChat yeah that’s the one, that was a great series (disappointed it never got adapted to fit in with the new canon, chapters 1 to 20 set up TCW pretty well I thought).
I don't we have any confirmed notable canon users of Form VI but seeing Rey in TROS makes me think she might be one
Very interesting topic. I’m one of those who can’t figure out which form is used during combat. I’m that dense.
In the movies there is NO real form to be honest BUT they do implement some basic fencing techniques and Kendo.
