Fast style

The Fast style of lightsaber combat was a style used by New Jedi Order Jedi such as Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr.

Style and stance
Consisting of short and quick motions with the blade that could be chained and combined almost indefinitely, this style allowed for multiple attack at an extremely fast pace.

Users of the fast style would typically utilize a defensive stance where the lighsaber was held across the front of the user, ready to parry attacks and deflect blaster shots or to launch short, fast jabs and cuts.

Advantages and disadvantages
As with all other styles, the Fast style had both its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages
Its obvious advantage was that it was efficient in one-on-one combat against slower opponents with laxed defenses. Especially when combined with Force Speed would the Fast style be very dangerous to any opponent.

Disadvantages
Relying primarily on speed and multiple attacking, the disadvantages of the Fast style were equally obvious. Firstly, it would cause much less damage than most other types of lightsaber combat. Secondly, its range was considerably short, making it less effective againts multiple opponents.
