Mou kei

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

In lightsaber combat, mou kei was an attack used by Sith and some brave Jedi that dismembered an opponent through a circular motion of the lightsaber, aimed at the major limbs. The objective was to finish a dangerous opponent.

A mou kei strike was used by Obi-Wan Kenobi against Darth Vader during their showdown on Mustafar.
