Thread: rediculous, what is with the new idea that tka are jedi, or on par with?
NP mate
It's just that the TKA community is going very low right now. Our corrospont is away, and suddenly a new one is needed, without a word from Jerad....
Many of us, are also tired of the "Nerf cries" Against us! Discussion on this board, is now mostly about giving everyone meditate, because TKA is overpowered and all that kind of stuff.
Do not feeel anger towards the other TKAs, mate We are just paranoid right now!
Take it easy

TKA is just a martial art in the Star Wars galaxy
The books that it is mentioned seem to point towards that
I feel that(from the books that I have read that mention it) is that TKA is probably just one of many martial arts forms in the galaxy.. But thats just me
Yes, you are right. Teras kasi don't deserve content that it's fellow brawler classes does not have.
I think that people simply want alternatives!
If you ask me, the road to Bounty Hunter is ridicolous! I thought one of the keyaspect of this game, was to get your own template and create a character with possibilities for uniqe skills..
Bounty Hunter just leaves room for full armored, compsite weilding LLC people.. No disrespect to BH,s they are cool - But the requirements are way to high...
Many in the brawler community have always wanted an master brawler class like Assasin, that culd function as a spiritual and practical hunting-a-target class..
All the jedi talk, is simply information from the EU! I have been a TKM twice, in a period of 4-6 months, and it is my all time favorite proffesion.. And im going there right now as we speak... But many of us feel frustrated, because we dont know our role...
Many people is just dabbling in TKA for meditate or defenses and the rest just want our, in some ways superiorcy when combined with other proffesions....
Even the tka trainers, give clues about TKA being a more than a martial rts.. a way of life.. And many people like the fact about there were other kinds of force people in the world.. Not just force users, who were neither jedi nor sith, or nightsisters..
It is talked about that darth maul was a Teras kasi also...
You should really read it all on www.teraskasi.com - great site!
Many people also think that the new force sensitivty skills system, that will enhance peoples current proffesions, would be a great addon to tka... tkas wants different styles, as well as a dark or light version of themself... or some people want that!
In my own opinion i also just see lots of potential in a teras kasi quests..
If they made master brawler and master scount a requirement, for becoming a tka who could hunt jedi, then i would still go TKA any seconds!
I know it might sound, stupid, but I just really like TKA for what it is! Almost every single animation, almost every single title and every single talking about us in the game and the EU, but if we had some more depth, and stood out as more than a martial arts, then I would love TKA ten times as much

Actually TK is an Order. Not just a martial art. That would be like saying Shaolin Monks were just martial artists. Their is a belief and a reasoning behind their style. A true TK is more than simply skilled at kicking and punching it is a way of life and a point of view.
Also TK are refered to as using the Force from within rather than the Force that surrounds them. I have also read on several websites, I know not canon but it is still out there, that they can sense changes around them and sense Jedi. It is EU canon however that they are watchers of the Jedi as Jedi destroyed the home world of the original masters.
If you want to know about general Martial arts look into Echani, a style that the red guards of the emporer were trained in, and Wrooshi, a wookie martial art. There are also others. In my opinion if we want TK elevated to BH like levels then that is fine, lets change it up. Have the current TK tree be say Echani mastery and then have us have to go on to master TK as a seperate profession.

I just want to know why the sudden interest in this. Ive seen so many posts about tka orders and such. Why should tka, which costs a fraction of the work and 92 skill points when compared to jedi get these sort of perks? It should be treated like every other prof. Also, with hunting jedi, bh are the only people which are meant to do that in this game. If that is given to other profs like tka than all that is special to bounty hunter, which costs more than twice the skillpoints will be taken away. Maybe if tka was unlockable and took months to get than sure. But defenetly not as it is now.
Yeah you're right. TK's are way to classy to sink to the level of the "jedi" as they are manifested in SWG. Who wants to be a shallow,self absorbed, S### talking, "uber" wack anyway? Thanks for pointing that out.

wrong, Teras Kasi isn't an order. There is no canon source to support that statement. Teras Kasi is only one of the many martial arts present in the SW galaxy.

From the first chapter of Star Wars: Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter (2001. Michael Reaves):
"Using the momentum of the forward thrust, Maul dived over the collapsing droid before him, flowing smoothly into a shoulder roll. He came up twirling his lightsaber overhead, then stepped down solidly into the teräs käsi wide stance called Riding Bantha. Even as he did the movement, part of him was monitoring his body's state. His breathing was slow and even, his pulse elevated by no more than two or three beats per minute from its resting rate."
Although Teräs Käsi is not mentioned In The Phantom Menace (1999), Darth Maul's acrobatic fighting style may have influenced Michael Reeves to write Maul in as a Teräs Käsi expert in DMSH, but it's a guess whether Lucas was influenced by previous descriptions of Teräs Käsi in his characterization of Darth Maul.
Not that this list below is complete, but the timeline here should give you an idea of how Teräs Käsi came to be part of the Star Wars universe:
Thank you onix
Finally something that prooves Teras Kasi is just a martial art
This debate has been going on since August at least. I just wish it would go away
