Jar'Kai

Jar'Kai was originally a style of swordplay that utilized dual weapons, developed by the Yovshin Swordsmen. A similar dual-blade technique referred to as Niman was developed by the Royale Macheteros of the Kashi Mer monarchy. Niman was adopted by the darksider group known as the Legions of Lettow during the First Great Schism, as well as the Jedi Order itself. Niman was developed into the sixth form of Lightsaber combat, retaining its name.

It should be noted that the fourth form of lightsaber combat, Ataru, was also known to employ dual blades as part of its training regimen. Ahsoka Tano was a master in this form when she was only a Padawan, an accomplishment that Jedi Masters would have serious troubles in achieving.
