Battle Circle
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Battle Circle was a place in which Mandalorians engaged in duels, and honed their combat skills in mock battles.
The rules of the battle circle were:
- No deathblows were permitted.
- Neither combatant was allowed to leave the Battle Circle.
- The only weapons allowed were those permitted by the combatant who has the most honor. This could range from unarmed combat to vibroblades and vibroswords, depending on the preference of the more honorable combatant.
- In order to challenge the champion or former champions of the Battle Circle, one must have the recommendation of one who was a champion at one point.
When the Jedi Exile visited the camp on Dxun, she was invited to test her skills with Mandalorian warriors. She fought with five combatants:
- Davrel: beaten in a contest of unarmed combat
- Kex: challenged the Exile, so she was allowed to choose the terms of unarmed, swords, or use of her powers and lightsaber. She most likely chose the one of the two earlier terms to earn more respect
- Tagren: also beaten in unarmed combat
After the fight with Tagren, the Exile had to prove herself worthy of fighting the two champions: Kelborn or Bralor. After helping Kelborn dispatch some of Colonel Tobin's men, she was allowed to fight the champions.
- Kelborn: beaten in a contest of swords
- Bralor: allowed the Exile to use her full arsenal, including the Force, and was beaten
Dred Priest later secretly formed battle circles on Kamino to train clone troopers.
