Gonna warn you, this post is going to be reeeaaallly long. I might even divide it up.
So, while the primary focus of our teachings revolve around saber combat, as it is not only the most prevalent but also the most useful, I still feel that, since this is a "JKA Database" and not a "JKA Saber Database," I should include a few segments on Force usage. For this reason, I'd like the cite The Jedi Academy's Holocron on Force Powers.
All of the information below belongs to TJA's archives and was written by Jake Kainite. I will also include links to the original posts at the bottom. I did remove a few pieces of the original text due to inaccuracies that were included dealing with JA+ and JK2 servers, not JKA, however (to my knowledge) the basics of the force powers remain the same in both games. I also made slight edits to the text to correct those errors.
