Tràkata was a style of lightsaber combat developed for taking advantage of a lightsaber's ability to be turned on and off, a unique quality in a melee weapon. Created by a Jedi Consular in the days of the Old Republic to compensate for weaknesses with using a lightsaber, it was based on quickly shutting off then re-igniting the blade, thus creating the possibility to confuse one's opponents, allowing for diversionary feints in combat. Mixed with Jar'Kai, Tràkata was extremely effective even against multiple opponents.
