[edit] Silat Serak

Should the Behind the Scenes section mention that Teräs Käsi was based on/ inspired by Silat? Steve Perry mentions it in the interview found in the External Links section (here). 70.17.155.160 02:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• If you say "Should there be a 'Behind the scenes' section?", then there should be. ;) Cutch 03:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plo Koon

Is there a source for the Plo Koon speculation? --SparqMan 03:39, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mace Windu

I remember in the Clone Wars cartoon that Mace Windu destroyed a B2 Battle Droid with a flurry of punches. COuld this mean that he was also a master of Teräs Käsi?

• • i don't think so, lightsaber forms apply to unarmed combat as well, so its likely Mace is just performing some vaapad styled flurrys. Jedi Dude 17:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, with his ability to sense the 'shatterpoints' (as demonstrated in the novel of the same name) he probably knew exactly where to hit to be the most effective.Tocneppil 01:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I do think that its a possibility. Shatterpoints and technique would only go so far. It would be worth mentioning as a theory, albeit unofficial.

Your right, The Jedi do have their own Martial Arts systems, which is what Mace Windu was using. Though, I don't think it was vapaad. If it were, you woulden't even see his hands move. Vapaad speed is invisible.

Impressive though, I'm glad that you guys aren't as dumb as some of the other people that beleive Mace uses Teras Kasi. A traditional Jedi wouldn't use a fighting art outside his own system. --The truth hurts... 22:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure they would. Luke and Mara use a blaster sometimes, and just look at Kyle Katarn. And anyway, the fact that Mace uses vaapaad, a radical technique, means he would be willing to use alternate methods.70.174.186.37 01:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• I wasn't talking about armed combat, especially not with projectile weapons, I was speaking of Martial Arts.

Luke and Mara use a cobbled-together compilation of what little Jedi Martial Arts they know. Kyle also uses a simular system. Vapaad, while a radical technique as you describe it, is also one of the classical Forms of Jedi Martial Arts. Thus, he does fight using techniques only from within his own system. --The truth hurts... 00:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moves - merge?

My suggestion is to merge the moves with this article. Their description is very short, so I don't think that there is any point in keeping them in separate articles.Domlith 20:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Characters from Masters of Teräs Käsi

There are several other characters in Masters of Teräs Käsi besides Arden Lyn, like Luke, Leia, Han and Vader. Not all of them practice Teräs Käsi, of course. But Masters of Teräs Käsi: Prima's Official Hints and Tips outright states that Han Solo ("He's even observed and absorbed some teräs käsi basic during his hours in the galaxy's cantinas.'--JuiceStain Rock on! 21:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)'") and Hoar ("Hoar left his home world to study the art of teräs käsi under Arden Lyn.") learned some Teräs Käsi moves. So should we add them as practitioners? --Craven 14:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What the??!!

What the heck does the Swedish word Förräderi have to do with Teräs Käsi? To me, NOTHING, and unless someone comes up with a valid argument to this point in the next few days, I'm gonna remove it.--JuiceStain Rock on! 20:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

• Förräderi is a Teräs Käsi stance. That's what it has to do with Teräs Käsi.96.240.196.107 21:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Ah, yea, well...maybe I should've paid attention to the article...yea....um...I feel stipid now.--JuiceStain Rock on! 21:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
