Ken had always had trouble with pure power duelists but at the same time he knew the places to look for in a duel. He had fought against students on Coruscant, his old friend in the slums, and many others here on Dantooine. Ken back off immediately keeping his footwork proper and steady but he called on the force to speed up his steps increasing his speed in order to dodge the hacking blows. Ken focused his eyes keeping focused not on the saber but on Alek's body. He felt some of his clothes being singed off by the saber. This was not the way of the jedi too give into anger. Alek had much to learn. Ken waited for the moment to strike but he was quickly being shoved on his back foot. However Alek went for one blow too hard against him Ken leveled his blade with both handed grabbing onto his saber. He swung his lightsaber to match Alek. But Ken's saber bent to the blow. However to attack Alek head on was not his intention. As Alek thought he had beaten Ken the jedi knight twisted his body around augmented with the force. His breathing was calm and smooth. He was at peace even now. Precision. He only had one chance to get this attack right. Ken twisted his body around and brought his training saber around in a circle with him. In on fluid simple motion of the body he adapted his style. What was desperate Niman defense a moment ago was now Makashi. Ken's saber arced around slashed in a quick motion in an attempt too slash out Alek's legs from behind in an attempt to get him make him fall to his knees. 

If Ken failed to meet the maneuver he had already thought ahead. He would immediately pressure Alek by delivering a pressing and fast attack of saber slashes in a offensive Makashi barrage stabbing and probing Alek into the defense. However if he did succeed Ken would not hestiate for a moment the moment Alek fell too his knees he would bring his saber down and rest it just above the base of the neck.
