Spinning attack

The spinning attack was a trispzest lightsaber combat technique, used, and possibly developed, by the Dark Jedi Maw. It may possible also have been partially derived from the ancient falling leaf maneuver.

The essence of the spinning attack, which was built upon quite simple principles, was that the airborne trispzest-user would spin fast and wildly in the air, often at a stationary spot, while lashing out to all sides with the lightsaber.

The technique was undoubtedly efficient against multiple opponents, but would leave the trispzest user widely open to attacks from right underneath him or her.

Maw might possible have used the maneuver against Kyle Katarn when they dueled on Ruusan, Katarn emerging victorious.
