| Combat with Multiple Opponents : A Jedi, being notoriously deadly in combat, will commonly find herself
engaged in melee combat with multiple assailants. When faced with this combat situation,
draw your saber and assume a wide-stretched left and right stance and let the Force flow
through you.
Your intent is to chase your attackers from side to side even as they come at you
from all four directions. Observe the order in which they attack and go to meet those who
attack first. Sweep your eyes broadly, extending out with the Force, paying attention to
your enemies' attack order while you cut left and right with your saber. Waiting will get
you killed. Always re-assume your central stance, cutting your attackers down as they
advance, crushing them in the direction from which they attack.
You must strive to push your attackers into a line, disrupt their advantage of
numbers and strike them down. The coordination and fluidity of one is greater than that of
a group and numbers matter not in affairs of the Force.
