Ken knew the calm of the force and he kept it with him at all times. He did not feel pressure and he did not know worry but he knew caution. There was no emotion there was peace. Ken did not full block the blows he dodges where he could be simply moving his body out of the way using his skilled footwork. And for when the blade could not be evaded he used his blade not as a shield but as a weapon. He blocked the strikes but twirled his body at the same time it was like a kid's toy in motion simple and too the point. By blocking but not putting his full effort into defending he could preposition himself. He would never attempt this in an actual fight but Alek was putting to much focus on his power blows and not enough focus on where Ken himself was. That raw power and strength was attempting to run him over but it was too wild and too savage. It didn't have a calculated thought behind it and thus Ken, while not in his comfort zone, was still able to avoid being hit squarely. In return however Ken brought his blade up to tag Alek's body with the tip of the saber before treating back into defensive Niman. He was attempting to get a few good hits in too slowly wear down Alek with burns until he commuted too much and let Ken get in with a decisive blow. However he was having issues seeing any good chance to get in a blow. He was focused too much on the defensive and not enough on offense. Ken knew this usually he would work in tandum with the force using force pulls and pushs and objects around him to off balance and enemy but this was a straight up saber fight and Zhar would not like him to use his powers in duel meant for the blades. [color=6ecff6]"Come now Alek surely you can fight better than that can't you? Did your master train you so poorly?"[/color] Ken taunted as he kept on his defensive strategy of moving and blocking only when he needed too. It was almost as if he was dancing as he moved across the mat.
