Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Anakin was 3 when he was made into a youngling instead of being taught the jedi code he was taught everything else math science social studies etc as well as a few extracaricculars like mechanics class space navigation pilot class warfare/strategy and politics many in the jedi council frowned at his choices but there's little that they can do as they are all practical courses once his academics are done Nagato comes to collect Anakin the first thing he does is put weights on the boy special ones that will not only make him faster and stronger but also more powerful while also teaching his body how to control his power once he unlocks the force which is what they do next they spend an entire month doing that.

Next they begin working out together doing every workout in existence without weights that don't go on the body once done he takes Anakin to the training room for running and jumping Nagato has Anakin climb up a platform then jump to the next one a few feet away it takes a few tries because of the weight but he does it Nagato summons more platforms and has him continue the exercise he does so until he makes it to the other side of the room completeing the exercise once done he goes to rest for the day Windu who was watching seems concerned that Anakin who's supposed to be the chosen one atleast according to Quigon didn't perform better when he asks Obi Wan who's standing next to him the young Jedi Knight smirks then says he hasn't changed one bit.

Windu asks what do you mean Obi wan says he's still making those he trains use weights to improve themselves Windu upon hearing this is floored as now it makes sense as to why young Skywalker is so slow and struggled so much just to make a few measly jumps Obi Wan says remember the boy just unlocked his force abilities today making everyone do a double take but they didn't say anything they just let it go as it was too much to be shocked over the next day Anakin does the same thing all over again until he can do it without trouble he continues to do it for 3 months and does it as if he wasn't wearing weights but Nagato doesn't increase the weight as what he's wearing is perfect for his age.

As he progresses the exercises just get harder which is just fine with Anakin he loves the challenge each challenge is every training sequence in Jedi Fallen Order when it comes to running and jumping as for his lightsaber training Quigon and Obi Wan helped with that as well as teaching him his force powers as did his youngling peers when he sparred with them instead of getting arrogant he simply rose to the challenge of every person he faced whether it was a force power duel or a lightsaber duel various younglings of various ages constantly challenged him and all of them lost the same thing with the papawans but he never could match a jedi knight even those that barely passed their trials.

Despite all of this improvement and success including the fact that the council is thrilled with his progress Nagato isn't his student just keeps going from one form to another to suit his opponent which isn't going to cut it with a more experienced duelest while Anakin was doing all of these duels Obi Wan asked if he could specialize in Form 3 but keep the others he learned to which Nagato said yes and helped him do it he also helped Quigon do the same with Form 4 despite how much it tires him out during all of this Anakin meets Mace Windu during a spar and loses quite badly even though they were only using training sabers he still lost horribly but Windu could see his skill level was quite advanced for his age which was good enough for him.

After that loss Anakin went back to every physical exercise the jedi temple had in order to make himself faster and stronger once he completed them all which took 9 months after that he has another spar with Quigon who decimates him but instead of letting the young man throw himself into more physical training he takes the young jedi to teach him about the force as well as the jedi order as a whole they spend two years together after that Obi Wan begins training Anakin for two years in lightsaber combat Obi Wan can see that after a few minutes that Anakin is skilled but he's all over the place he may know the basics to forms 1-4 but it doesn't matter if your opponent is more skilled than you are in any of the forms you're using even if you combined them together.

after he got the problems out of the way Obi Wan decides to teach Anakin form 5 not just Shien or Djemso but both sides of the Form so he can master it once they get into it Obi Wan takes Anakin to another part of the temple to help with his sparring inside are three exercises set up just for it the first one Obi wan has Anakin doing is dulon typically referred to a lightsaber move where the duelist would hold his hilt's pommel at one's midsection with the blade thirty degrees up, and would be slashed at high velocity. However, the term also referred to a solo lightsaber training exercise in which a Padawan practiced sequences of moves against imaginary opponents.

The next one is velocities involved two students practicing sequences of attacks and parries against each other, repeating the same patterns over and over, while constantly increasing the speed of the movements until one opponent got hit, or decided to yield by saying Solah the final one is twin suns in this form of practice, two Jedi would use the Force to rise and land like two suns crossing the sky. It required a great mastery in lightsaber combat, high attunement with the Force and precise timing. This technique required two Jedi to stand at the opposite ends of an open area. Then the combatants would start running at each other and make a Force Jump toward the opponent. While in the air the Jedi would activate their lightsabers and when crossed beside in mid-air, they would strike at one another, trying to harmlessly cut a piece of opponent's clothing and then deactivate the lightsaber before landing on the ground.

Nagato took over the rest of his training he taught Anakin Form 6 and had Anakin choose what other forms to mix with it Anakin chose Forms 1 2 4 and 5 with 5 being the one he would master so they got to working on learning the other forms and once he reached the same skill level as he did in Form 5 and even re doing all of other training exercises that he did with Obi Wan in each style Nagato helped Ankin learn how to combine them together into one cohesive style sadly they couldn't complete that training but he was able to combine Forms 5 and 2 together which was fine with him he even taught the basics of Form 3 to Anakin just in case which he picked up rather quickly since he trained with Obi Wan for so long the same with Form 4 when he trained with Quigon both older jedi helped Anakin with the force meditation and his lightsaber skills.

The next day Anakin is surprised to find himself in a huge sparring hall with every jedi Master of the High Council and every Jedi Knight as well as every youngling and padawan in attendance also his master has his cloak off which he never does and it's in the hands of Obi Wan as is his practice saber also he sees weird looking cystals with weird looking symbols in the four corners of the room Anakin walks in front of his master Nagato says good you finally stopped delaying Nagato nods and Obi Wan steals Anakin's practice saber from him before Anakin can ask Nagato uses the force to amplify his voice despite thses crytsals cutting off his powers in the force Nagato says now eventually one day you will find yourselves in situations where you're low on energy seperated from your lightsaber unable to defend yourselves.

i'm here to tell all of you that's a lie before we even knew what the force was we got along just fine with our minds our bare fists and our enviornoment as our weapons we even used real swords as weapons not these fancy toys you all call swords now days I swear you all are lucky that I don't show you what a real sword is like and what it really means to be cut by a blade if you all want to be burned like a lightsaber does I can simulate that just fine everyone shivers at that knowing that he can do it however that's not why I called all of you pansies here today I'm here to teach all of you how to defend yourselves one at a time should you all lose your prescious toys in the future this goes for the entire order not just the yougnlings and padawans so get ready to learn how to feel pain he laughs evily.

After that he puts weights on everyone and makes them practice the katas after making them stretch and workout to every exercise you can do with your body he teaches them two styles but he combines them into one so that they can't be copied by the enemy these styles are :Broken Gate is one of the most widespread and common standing combat forms in the Galaxy. Taught on hundreds of planets from the Core Worlds to the far reaches of the Outer Rim, the simple and efficient Form is popular with those looking for a well rounded Form rooted in physical fitness training.

Conditioning is key to Broken Gate, with adherents training rigorously to harden their bodies against strikes. As a stand-up fighting style, it employs little to no ground-fighting techniques but is entirely focused on upright combat. Using powerful blocks, kicks and strikes in conjunction with simple body control, it is a balanced martial art that can take hits but dish them out just as readily.

A Broken Gate stance places the practitioner's hands out in front of their chest, front fist angled towards the opponent's face while the back hand lowers to protect the stomach. Elbows tuck in tight to the ribs as the hips twist off at an angle to present a smaller target. The lead foot is the foot opposite the main hand, with the other foot a shoulder width apart and then behind the other. Both knees are bent and weight is kept off the heels to allow for faster movement. From this stance, a practitioner can transition between deep and wide stances while moving in order to maintain balance while putting them in a position to lunge into an attack.

Practitioners will take advantage of the torque and power behind roundhouse kicks, uppercuts, and other chambered strikes. Counters are rudimentary but effective with the intent to safely absorb an incoming attack rather than to try and deflect it. Hand techniques vary from open handed chops and grabs to closed hand hammer fists and knuckle-jabs while utilizing the meatier parts of the wrists and arms to absorb impact. While it lacks many ground combat techniques, this Form has more than a few techniques designed around escaping quickly from grapples or any other maneuver that would take them off their feet and down to the ground.

With Sliding Hands, the main focus is on using an opponent's own momentum against them by utilizing joint locks, throws, takedowns and ground submission to subdue a would-be attacker without brute lethal force. All of these rely on being the defender in the situation - whether the practitioner is the one being attacked, or someone else is being attacked. This Form makes extensive use of non-striking techniques in order to shape itself into a defensive style used to counter a wide range of aggressive, strike-based styles, perfect for the peacekeeping ways of the Jedi Order and other pacifist cultures.

Sliding Hands uses long, deep ready stances with one leg almost two complete shoulder widths back to maintain a good base so as to avoid being dislodged. The hands are up and open with the elbows tucked in, both pointing towards the opponent to effectively grab and grapple.

Striking in Sliding Hands is done almost entirely with open-handed techniques, as a closed fist would not permit the practitioner to seize an extended limb or other part of the body to control their opponent. These strikes are typically targeted specifically at the nerve and pressure points of an adversary.

Once everybody learned these two styles and combined them together they were spending their time practicing against each other also once they completed their training and got their skill levels upto their rank Nagato had them remeove their weights the only member of order who didn't learn the first style was Yoda as his body couldn't handle the training but he did learn the second style as it didn't require much effort to master it merely just getting the kata's and throws and grapples mastered then you could move onto the more advanced techniques but Yoda never did just the basics enough to defend himself and combine it with his own style that he already learned.

Seeing that there's 4 years left of Anakin's training he does something that shakes not only Anakin but the entire Jedi order as a whole he sends Anakin to Corellia to the Military academy there many are shocked including Anakin but he doesn't question it he welcomes it once Anakin is gone Quigon and Obi Wan are defending Nagato's actions in the council seeing the benefit of Anakin getting such an education as they believe that war is just on the horizon Once Anakin reaches his destination he is changed from regular monk robes instead of jedi robes into the military academy uniform and once he gets registered he sees that they have every class that he has ever wanted to learn :
