Agni Kai

Sith and some dark force user

Among Sith disputes of honor are settled by a challenge to an Agni Kai, or "force duel", a traditional Force duel that is centuries old. Such a duel is conducted in an open-air arena, and may be witnessed by spectators. The goal in these duels is to knock an opponent off-balance, and incapacitate (fatally or otherwise) with a final blow. The favored finishing move seems to be a direct lighting blast to the face.

Lightsabers
The sith rarily use lightsabers in Agni Kai, but when they sometimes comit a final blow if to the death, is to force them into defeat and then hold the saber behind the neck and egnit killing them.
