CM-Q – Ahsoka vs Anakin (Ahsoka)

In this tutorial, you’ll learn CM-Q recreating the intense exchange from the Ahsoka and Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Ahsoka (series) battle between 1:51 and 2:09, focusing on the rhythm, pressure, and aggressive forward momentum of the duel. Taught by Knights G.C. Christopher and Tim Lynch, students will break down the sequence step by step with one Lumen using a single saber while another is duel-wielding 2 blades. The goal is not just to copy the fight, but to understand how each attack, defense, and transition tells a story through motion.

CM-M – Dooku vs Anakin (SW Ep. III)

In this tutorial, you’ll learn CM-M, a dynamic sequence inspired by the duel between Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. This reproduction is built around constant attack, response, and directional inversion. Unlike earlier patterns where the defender blocks or dodges while retreating, CM-M flips the exchange: the defender advances, closes distance, and turns defense into forward pressure. This is the first CM where the direction of the attack is fully inverted.

CM Y: Duel Weilding Mastery

YouTube player

CM-Y enables you to master duel-weilding as you model 2 masters in action. In this lesson, two lumens are matched up duel-wielding versus single saber just like in CM-V. Notation below for Lumen 2 - Duel Wielder is noted with which hand is used to strike with the staff. L stands for Left. R stands for Right hand.

CM L: Staff vs Sabers – part 2

CM-L expands the staff lesson into the SaberCraft framework. In this lesson, two lumens are matched up saber versus staff just like in CM-K. Notation below for Lumen 2 - Staff is noted with which hand is used to strike with the staff. L stands for Left. R stands for Right hand. Hand positions are up to the Lumeneer but we recommend Right-hand palm facing down and Left-hand palm facing up.

CM-N: Dual Wielding

CM-N

CM-N is for duel-wielding battles. In this lesson, two lumens are matched up 2-sabers versus single-saber to help students learn how to navigate switching between hands. To make this an effective lesson for all, we made the CM only 6 steps, similar to CM-A to help ease everyone into using 2 hands. Notation below for <strong>Lumen 1 </strong> is noted with which hand is used to strike with each saber. L stands for Left. R stands for Right hand.

CM-D: Dynamic Combat

Choreographed Movements: CM D

Dynamic Combat by switching between attackers

In this CM, we cover building a dialog between 2 opponents. By switching who is the attacker, we build a simple choreography movement that allows 2 players to trade strikes rather than 1 player doing all the attacks. By incorporating sections of previous CMs, we build a dialog that switches between CM-A, CM-B and CM-C. CM-D introduces two 2 elements:

  1. Thrusts noted by a 0 (zero) in the notation.
  2. Unconventional Blocks by introducing an alternative angle to a block.
