Rekpa De was a male Jedi Master when Yoda was still a Jedi Knight, around 850 BBY. He taught basic lightsaber skills to young Padawans in the Jedi Temple. His best known aphorism was:
"Do not see a lightsaber duel as a choice between winning and losing. Every duel can have many, many outcomes. When you concentrate solely on winning—in lightsaber duels as in everything else—you sully your victory. Winning becomes worse than losing. It is better to lose well than to win badly. And it is always better to end a duel peacefully than to win or lose."
