Teräs Käsi

Canon Legends version → Linked from 29 articles

Teräs Käsi was a form of hand-to-hand combat that was created to fight Force-sensitives, particularly members of the Jedi Order. Melee weapons could also be used in the combat form. Its practitioners were ranked into novices, adepts, or masters according to their skill level, and wore distinctive outfits.

Former Sith Lord Maul, the head of Crimson Dawn, was a practitioner of Teräs Käsi, and he taught it to Dryden Vos, who, in turn, trained his lieutenant, Qi'ra. During the raid on Kessel, Qi'ra utilised the form to take down Quay Tolsite of the Pyke Syndicate. Very few people alive during the Imperial Era even knew that Teräs Käsi existed, and even fewer actually knew how to fight with it, making it unique.

The Emperor's Royal Guards of the Galactic Empire were trained in the form. The Elite Praetorian Guards of the First Order were also trained in Teräs Käsi, along with other martial arts.
