Sai cha

Sai cha was one of the nine marks of lightsaber combat, and referred to the act of decapitating an opponent with the lightsaber blade. The sai cha vault was a variation of sai cha which involved Ataru-style gymnastics. Jedi preferred to kill with a shiak strike, when killing was necessary, but accepted sai cha as an honorable alternative. Centurions often preferred sai cha as a killing blow because of its finality.
