Holding the SaberGrip the light saber with a rather floating feeling in your thumb and forefinger, with the middle finger neither tight nor slack, and with the last two fingers tight. It is bad to have play in your hands.

When you take up a saber, you must feel intent on cutting the enemy. As you cut an enemy you must not change your grip, and your hands must not "cower". When you dash the enemy's saber aside, or ward it off, or force it down, you must slightly change the feeling in your thumb and forefinger if your species has such digits.

Above all, you must be intent on cutting the enemy in the way you grip the saber.The grip for combat and for saber-testing is the same. There is no such thing as a "cutting grip".Generally, I dislike fixedness in both sabers and hands. Fixedness means a dead hand. Pliability is a living hand. You must bear this in mind.
