Knights of the Jedi

Who are we?

The members in the forums and of this group are part of a group of people who place their beliefs in the philosophy, combat skills and of course the religious side of the Jedi. Despite being fictional, the philosophies are real and the Force can exist as one of many forms in religious beliefs.

What is our purpose?

The purpose behind the Knights of the Jedi is be able to unite those of the same beliefs together. The philosophy is how we see things as they are, the combat is how we can protect ourselves and others when it is in need and the religious belief of the Force is something that all can share willingly without criticism or insults. The Knights of the Jedi respect all beliefs and do not blame anyone for believing anything different from our own. The main goal of our group is to maintain peace within both ourselves and others around us. Respect for all life is needed when learning to walk the path of the Jedi.

What is the combat training?

There will be times in anyone's life where a conflict is made or is due to be made. The Knights of the Jedi teach swordsmanship known in the form of lightsaber combat. Since lightsabers do not exist it is best to practice with anything effective but safe to practice with. A Jedi is not focused purely on combat however. Even the Jedi Guardians, who focused mainly on combat, were often diplomats in situations as well. Being a Jedi is not about fighting and winning a battle. The focus behind the swordsmanship offered by the Knights of the Jedi is not to win a fight, but to learn to control yourself physically, mentally and spiritually and thus also know when not to use your weapon. The teachings is only to be used to allow one to defend himself or someone that is in need of help. We, however, do not encourage the swordsmanship to be used frequently or at all unless it is of utmost importance.
