Force Warrior

Force Warrior is a term used to describe a distinct sect of Jedi and other Force users who practice a unique form of unarmed combat. Focused heavily on control, they mix meditative techniques and martial arts in a primitive, yet potent form. The Force flows through their bodies, allowing them to strike unarmed with expert precision, and incredible power, a master of the art able to far surpass even unaided masters of martial arts such as Echani and Teras Kasi, though many Force Warriors learned those arts to further enhance their control and skill. Most Force Warriors also developed potent defenses as part of their meditations, a danger sense that allowed them to instinctively dodge even unexpected attacks, narrowly escaping possibly fatal blows. Despite their powers, most were not warlike in nature, many among them seeking physical and mental discipline rather than simply becoming unstoppable fighting machines.

Force Warriors are rare among the Jedi, especially considering the prestige and abilities offered by the use of a lightsaber. As its use grew, their numbers shrunk, though far more of them were able to survive the Purge than their more obvious breathern. Outside of the Jedi Order, there were the occasional small school, or other self-taught Force-sensitive beings who discovered the art of control on their own.
