In addition to his reputation for wisdom and power, Windu was considered to be one of the finest swordsmen to ever grace the Jedi Order. He created , a dueling technique within the seventh form of lightsaber combat which contained certain elements of dark side practices. Only Windu, his former student Depa Billaba, and legendary lightsaber instructor Sora Bulq ever mastered it, though both Bulq and Billaba fell to the dark side of the Force. It was said that only his onetime mentor, Count Dooku, and Yoda could outspar him. There is speculation by some, however, that Windu may have been outsparred as a teenager by his older and more experienced Jedi friends, like Ki-Adi-Mundi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Plo Koon.
