I have also heard of Niman being referred to as The Way of the Stranger, due to its ever-changing and semi-unpredictable nature. What I have learned about it is that it is only taken to the greatest heights of skill when it has truly been mastered. Xar Kun was one such person and he was believed to be the greatest duelist the order had ever produced at that time. The same can be said for Revan. To master form VI is almost the same as mastering all saber form, save for Juyo. However, when a practitioner of the form views it as the diplomats from rather than a perfect form, it is clear that they will not live up to the legacy that I have mentioned. Often times they will be sub-par with other dualists. If you wish to master form VI then you must have the dedication to master it, or your form will fail.
Amazing! The diplomat's style. A form with a lot of variety, where the practitioner has enough openness to try different movements or even combine with other styles. It counters the aggressive Juyo.
it is more like jeet kundo it is based off of soresu but incorporates the best of other forms battke masters niman is the most powerfull of the seven forms on par with vaapad
@@ahmadag1820 I agree with you! I like Ataru and Shien too. Ataru for graceful and acrobatic movements and Shien for brute force and counter-precision.
Form VI has been the one I've been waiting for. The variety of movements taken from the other schools of lightsaber forms is truly what makes me love the form
The MMA of Lightsaber forms. I got this style on a quiz. No "strengths or weaknesses". Yeah sure. Even Bruce Lee said to "be like water". This is water.
I am a form 6 user. If you can catch your opponent unaware, you have the upper hand. If you change your tactics as the battle changes, you can confront any challenge. I don’t like being stuck in a routine.
@@melissaors9602 Yes, form 6 is supposed to be unpredictable, quick, and random. You take moves from all forms (specifically form 3 and form 4) and turn it into a fighting style. This includes random moves as long as they are logixal.

I want to find out what form to use, yet I seem to not be able to determine a single form to use, so I think I will create my own fighting style for lightsaber combat. Luckily form 6 is like a gateway to all the form before it, so this seems like a good start. Ironically from what I understand to be truely formideable in Form 6 usage one has to know all the other forms, so I am asking myself if there is a way to bypass this/ reduce the other forms and cut out all the unnecassary things like form 4 defenses, when I can just use form 3 to defend myself. At the same time, I want to incorporate form 7 into the mix, yet I don´t know how exactly.
@@lordnihilus3198 revan is one of the best duelist in Star Wars. He would lose to sidious though. He is a better dueler in my opinion. But sidious is way stronger in the force.
The Ataru strikes are different from how they are in the form 4 video. I see its cause its being done two handed in here, I think I prefer this version of the form 4 better. And this is my favorite form now, has something of everything!
This probably would actually be my preferred form overall just for general versatility. Has something of everything. And I see why they dont have makashi in this form, it's two handed and Ataru makes good swift strikes in its place. Though I'm not sure about shi cho.
Form 6 Niman is definitely the lightsaber form I would train in. It’s well rounded perfection and if you have the drive to master it your gonna be an unstoppable opponent.
According to the internet, this is Rey’s lightsaber form of combat as it uses all several forms of lightsaber combat allowing her to use all skills to her advantage as she also uses a staff. Darth Maul also used this form hence why Rey uses it as she planned whilst constructing her new lightsaber to be a double blade as she struggles to use a single blade as she is so used to using a double bladed weapon.
Heh. This makes me think. The Game Developers of Jedi: Fallen Order said that since Cal Kestis never finished his training, he took what he knew to make his own lightsaber style. So basically, Cal made his own variety of Form 6?
@@funnyhispanic actually if I’m not mistaken after the battle of geonosis there were very little Niman masters left and almost everyone practiced style 5 (literally every Jedi was a form 5 practitioner with few exceptions). But Im probably wrong

Mixing of more youthful shapes, and all of them in control. Through the mixing, much of the singularity is misplaced, but the qualities are spread equally, and there's a small shortcoming in it.

How to win any Jedi or sith lightsaber fight: start with form 3, to study their aggression. Use vappad to study their defence. Now if they use form 1, use this: form 2. If they use form 2, use: djem so. If they use form 3, use form 2. If they use form 4, use form 6. If they use form 5. (Any variant) use form 3.

Great video. Sometimes, when we see the movies, we get the idea that the moviments are not focussed in attacking parts of the body, but just hitting the other lightsaber. The defence has the objetive of protecting the defenders body, and not just striking the other lightsaber.
@@Th3og0ny He's also an expert of Niman as was mentioned by Darth Plagueis in the Plagueis novel during a training session where Maul employed Niman against some training droids, Maul's conduct was also a mixture of Niman and Juyo with him managing his opponents through a balanced mixture of tactics and techniques but able to release a withering series of Juyo strikes when going on the offensive. He displayed this well in the Duel of Fates where in the novelisation of EP 1 by Terry Brooks, Maul was pretty much stage managing the whole fight. Niman as described by Jensaarai1 is a blank slate for a practitioner to configure to any combat scenario by harmonising and using whatever technique was necessary to get the job done rather than power through with one technique, Maul is even described in the TPM novelisation as having a Jedi's focus, mindset is just as important as skill when using Niman as one needs to have a clear head to surgically dissect an enemies technique as Maul did with a balanced mixture of techniques on a Juyo base.
So basically I deducted that this form is a blend of all forms. I see why it was a popular form amongst the Jedi. For me it felt like MMA but for lightsabers because of the blend
Niman gets such a bad rep due to most Jedi prior to the Clone Wars using it as a way to maintain the bare minimum standard of lightsaber proficiency while focusing the rest of their energy on diplomacy which would bite them in the ass during the Arena battle on Geonosis. People are very quick to forget that one of the greatest users of Niman was Exar Kun who became one of the greatest lightsaber duelists of the age and even defeated his master, the famed Blademaster Vodo-Siosk Baas.
In my opinion it’s very sad that, in ALL canon content of Star Wars, we have never seen any single bladed Niman technique like all the others. Every niman user is either depicted using double bladed lightsaber (Darth Maul) or two lightsabers (jar’kai users?). It is said it most resembles soresu but how can we know this really?
The reason why Niman got such a bad rep during the years up until the Clone Wars is because no one really took the time to master it. It's greatest strength was It's unpredictable and adaptive nature. Exar Kun mastered it to It's fullest extent, and he was undefeatable.
Shi Cho is probably the most underrated. It is very basic, as it just focuses on direct strikes and blocks, thus it’s the form all the younglings are taught.
@@superior6385 Well a fighting system is only as good as the judgment and speed of decision making by the practitioner. When it comes to Jedi creativity is a must as is strength of will to protect from force attacks. Look at OWK getting destroyed by CD just on force powers. He would have lost his duel with AS if Anakin had used force powers more creatively than a straight up saber battle just due to raw strength in the force. That battle was plot armour as OT needed to happen. Same with Kit Fisto being destroyed by DS before clone wars made him a legendary fighter.
my niman moderation would be combining the elegant blade work of makashi, the powerful strikes of djem so, and a little bit of acrobatics from ataru. Why?: Makashi, focused and controlled strikes. Djem So, powerful and strong strikes. What i COMBINED those two, it would be pretty powerfull. And adding ataru would make acrobatic attacks more affective.
This form is very strong yet can also be weak. Its mainly used for adapting and depends on the form used by its opponent but when it comes to fighting multiple enemies it can struggle if both enemies use different forms

This will be cool, but hard to learn. While Form VI may be the easiest form to learn, it's hard to learn something when these videos are all *RIGHT-HANDED* and I'm left-handed.
Okay, now I know this one doesn't use form 2 elements from Wookiepedia, but what about form 1? Not strong or fast enough to be worth putting into your variant of it?

Not really. Niman has shii-cho in it and shii-cho is focused of fighting multiple opponents. That’s why kit fisto fought general grievous so well.
@@Mr.BrainWrinkles ohh
Revan it's a master in this form, and... Well, Revan is a one man army. Xd

next to vaapad this is my favorite style
nothing to do during lockdown besides study lightsaber combat for me.
i want to learn this style purely cause revan used it a lot
a form 4 evasive to form 2 thrust could be cool
Niman is the most used one . As i saw in the movies and peapole who do duels
Thank you for this video. I have been studying the 7 forms and I needed this one
It's why I prefer Niman. Keep your opponent guessing.
Niman was my favorite when I played Kotor 2
Me, embarrassed at having to pause the video to figure out the roman numerals
Don't be I had to also

Did a quiz to see what form I should use this is what I got
Finally!!!!
This lightsaber form makes you unpredictable
Because of the Combination,thats why ı love this form and İm studying it.Its unpredictable like form 7.If I Master 6 and 7 I will so happy.
This is my first time I see the form VI Niman....
Can you do shien mixed with other forms
Damn geuss im the quiet kid now
Back to earth...so the opening stance is the fool's guard. Yeah IRL you gotta run unless you have armor on. Even with a spear someone who uses the fool's guard will be a pretty hard enemy.
Finally
Bro I'd be switching forms left and right
I usually use niman, makashi and vaapad
When will you add video with form VII, Juyo and Vaapad?
its already there :)
I have grown more powerful then any Jedi
i would like to see you two dual each other
check out our practices videos - sometimes we do.
The way I see it, you'll need to master at least 1 form, before tryng to master this
I think I might study Juyo, Masaski, or Djem so.
Juyo not smart enough for me. Masaski depends. Djem so works for me. So really Masaski and Djem so.
I'm will train to be the best at this form
I understand what to do for form VI but I don't understand what it is about can someone please explain it to me
Isn't form VI called "Shien"? The reverse grip style?
No, Shien is a Form V variant (and is also the name for Form V in KOTOR 2, not sure why).
This will be cool, but hard to learn.
While Form VI may be the easiest form to learn, it's hard to learn something when these videos are all *RIGHT-HANDED* and I'm left-handed.
Just mirror the screen :D
what is the difference between niman and someone that is just really good at switching forms seamlessly?
very slight if any at all. Think of it as a blend of the other form rather than selection of techniques.
So this is supposed to combine all the previous forms, what about form 2? Edit: Hey I don't see form 1 either!
So, this is basically Rey's style, but more focused since Rey's a little sloppy...
I love form 3-4
Epic
What sabers do you use? I'd like to buy one
Please can you telll me where did you buy your lightsabers?
ooohh forget it, it´s in the description xD
Okay, now I know this one doesn't use form 2 elements from Wookiepedia, but what about form 1? Not strong or fast enough to be worth putting into your variant of it?
Supposedly all forms previous except form 2. Guessing that form 1 is like the common denominator across the other 3 forms shown to be applied here
If darth revan trained anakin skywalker, and then anakin becomes the emperor. It would mean the universe is doomed.
