Q1. Which is not a grip described as part of tri-grip theory?

Tandem

Standard

Reverse

Pommel

Q2. Select all advantages enjoyed by tandem grip above other grips.

Better reach

Better blade control

Better defense

Better feints

Q3. Which of these is not one of the main wrist orientations?

Pronated

Supinated

Curled

Neutral

Q4. Select all standard-dominant shields.

Shield-1

Shield-10

Q5. The Ranging Principle states that:

Range is the key factor in a Lightspeed-saber duel.

The duelist should stand with the dominant hand and shoulder in the lead of their stance to maximize range.

The foot corresponding to the dominant hand should be in the lead of the stance regardless of foot dominance.

All of the above.

Q6. What is wrong with this standard stance?

Option One

Option Two

Q7. What is the purpose of the shuffle-style footwork in Rey-saber?

Shuffling keeps the feet close to the ground, maximizing control of the duelist's position in space.

Shuffling prevents the duelist from moving too fast.

Shuffling helps to mask the duelist's movements.

Shuffling is good for dancing.

Q8. What is wrong with this (simple) lunge?

Option One

Option Two

Select all terms that describe this chamber.

High

Low

Inner

Outer

A guard (or chamber) is different from a shield in that...

A proper guard is more secure than a shield.

A proper guard inhibits the opponent from attacking.

A proper guard physically stops attacks while a shield does not.

Guards and shields are the same thing.

In Image C, what kind of attack did Darth Vader use to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi?

A cut

A strike

A slash

A sweep

A thrust

In Image B, what type of attack is does Rey use to defeat Kylo Ren?

Diving

Rising

Lateral

Flat

In Image A, which shield is Rey using to defend against the Praetorian Guard?

Shield-2

Shield-4

Shield-5

Shield-6

What is main error committed in this shield?

The wrists are incorrectly oriented, making it awkward to hold.

The arms are not extended enough, allowing the attack to come too close to the body.

The saber is not held high enough to protect the head.

The blade does not exceed the targeted area, putting the face at risk.

Shield-9 protects which target areas?

Low inside

Mid to low outside

Overhead

Mid to low inside

Centripetal theory is the idea that...

The bodyweight of the duelist should be evenly distributed between both legs.

The forward or center guard should be the default blade position.

The saber should travel through the center of the body during shield transitions.

The ideal attack strikes at the opponent's center of mass.

Deflectors differ from shields in all these ways except...

Deflectors are a method of active defense rather than passive.

A deflector redirects the attack rather than stops it.

Deflectors have different wrist orientations compared to their shield counterparts.

Deflectors can protect the hands while shields cannot.

Which of these is not a principle that governs good deflection technique?

Perpendicular principle

Perimeter principle

Power & stability principle

Blade-for-blade principle

Which of the options listed below is the generally recognized correct pairing for transferring energy in a deflector?

Middle to middle

Defender's strong against attacker's weak

Defender's weak against attacker's strong

Defender's middle against attacker's weak

What is the main reason the slip is considered superior to the lower shields?

Because it's more important to dodge an attack than to block it.

Because the lower shields are technically difficult and have a low chance of success.

Because it leaves the weapon free to deliver a counterattack.

Because shields are always a last resort.
