Echani (martial art)/Legends

Echani art was the combat techniques of the Echani warriors. This art was practiced without armor, weapons and the use of the Force.

Echani culture held the belief that to know one fully, you must fight them. Echani fighting was not only self-defense, but a form of self-expression, a means of communication similar to art.

During her visit to the Telosian Jedi Academy, the Jedi Exile fought against the Handmaiden sisters using the Echani art as part of her training.

After the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Emperor's Royal Guard trained in the Echani art. Mahd Windcaller also had a group of female Echani-trained bodyguards. Lumiya was trained in the technique as part of her Imperial Intelligence training.

The Echani art had three Tiers. Echani children began by learning the first tier, then would learn the other two later.

Phow Ji once said he was a master of this art.
