Form II

Form II, also known as Makashi (pronounced Muh-KAA-shye), was the second form of lightsaber combat invented by the Jedi Order. A somewhat aggressive, yet also graceful, combat style, it became a specialist form for duels with Sith opponents. Form II relied on careful and controlled strikes instead of power and strength. Count Dooku was a master of this form and trained the Sith assassin Asajj Ventress in its use, though hers was less elegant than her master's. The Grand Inquisitor and Third Sister were proficient Form II practitioners. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was another who used the technique and also taught it to others in the Order at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Crossguard lightsabers were once common among Makashi practitioners, many of whom fought at the Great Scourge of Malachor.
