Forum:KB:name of technique of keeping lightsabre unignited until strike?

For some reason whenever I try to remember this all I can think is Form "Zero" but I know that's just a philosophical thing. I don't know if this is an entire form, or just a technique available within a form...

For some reason I thought it was Yoda who did it but I could be remembering wrong and it might be someone else.

The idea was that since, if you had your saber ignited, someone could see the attack coming and also they could parry it by striking the blade, that you kept the blade turned off to get past your opponent's guard, and only ignited the sabre once the handle was very close to their body and too close to parry.

The disadvantaged of course being that you can't use the sword to parry since it's unignited, and the need to get past your opponent's sword (dodging it, since you can't parry it or push it out of the way) to actually launch your attack.

Am I just imagining this, or does someone remember it being mentioned in an article somewhere? talk2ty 03:03, May 19, 2019 (UTC)
