Slowpokeking Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's said to be Niman, but his fighting style made no resemblance beside maybe his dual wielding. Niman is about balance and subtle control, use the Force directly to finish some moves. Kun's fighting style is obviously very aggressive, focus on attack and we don't see him use the Force directly in lightsaber combat. Juyo or Ataru would fit better.

Aurbere Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well, we could say that Exar Kun is the epitome of what happens when a Force user throws out Niman's moderation and focuses on aggression. But you're right, his style doesn't resemble Niman much. However, this is also the case with Kit Fisto, who's fighting style is confirmed to be Shii-Cho, but more closely resembles Juyo, without the weakened defense.

Well I often used to see Exar Kun stated to be a Master of the Makashi Style (before Niman) - and it wouldn't really surprise me if he was (given his predeliction for duelling) He Probably chose Niman for its Flexibility - but he could have possibly mastered other styles also - and used Niman to gel them all together (similarly to Darth Maul) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that to me Fisto's style looks a bit more to like (a quicker - less powerful version) of Djem So rather than Juyo. From what I have read - Juyo's (Blade) Defence is ok in 1v1's but it is weaker against multiple opponents (probably because of the single-minded, aggressive focus of the style) from what I can see - Fisto's attack patterns seem to be more straight forward and do not seem to have the unpredictable movements or defence breaking abilities of a true Juyo specialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
