*Retuns the nod* Alright, my young apprentice. In this lesson, we are going to learn the offensive moves of the Shii-cho form. *Activates green blade of his lightsaber* Shii-cho uses only two offensive moves - the horizontal and the vertical slash. The horizonzal slash can be led in either direction, but I recommend leading it fom the left to the right, since you are leading the saber with your left hand. Pay special attention to the way my two hands interact during the attack:
*demonstrates the horizontal slash move several times*
The vertical slash is very similar:
*demonstrates the vertical slash move several times*
However it can only be led downwards, as the length of human hands is limited. Once your opponent successfully catches your blade during this attack, you should immediately pull back, as he could push your blade away and counterattack before you are able to recover.
Watches Pajus intently so I can see a wise one in action.
Before I show you what I have learn, I need to take a *THUNK* break
Spoiler:
Now it is time for you to show what you learned from my demonstrations today.
*Activates purple blade of lightsaber*
Takes the proper stance and brings lightsaber up to horizontal position. Practices horizontal slash from left to right. After doing many many repetions of the horizontal slash, changes to practice the vertical slash.
Finds vertical slash a bit tricky, have to remember to pull back. After many attempts and getting the feel for how it works, can successfully do the vertical slash.

How did I do *wise one*?
You have done well, my young apprentice. We can now move on to the next excercise.
I want you to show what you have learned so far by attacking me.
In this excercise, I will use the 'Soresu' (or 'Resilience'). It is the most defensive form of lightsaber combat. When propperly mastered, Soresu renders the user nearly invulnerable to both gunfire and melee attacks, decreasing the risk of you hurting me. Watch my actions closely, as Soresu will be the subject of our next lessons.
*moves his lightsaber into the Soresu initial stance.*
