Art of Movement in action.
During the time of the Old Republic, a technique known as Art of Movement was instructed at the Jedi Temple. This ability enabled someone to channel the Force into their body, thereby amplifying their agility, acrobatic skills, and overall athleticism far beyond what a normal, highly trained athlete could achieve using only their physical strength.
The Jedi Order fostered the Art of Movement as a means of augmenting the movement principles used by those proficient in gymnastics, parkour/free-running, and other forms of athletic prowess.
By skillfully using the Force in this manner, practitioners could surpass their natural physical limits. This allowed them to perform extraordinary feats, such as leaping across vast distances (ranging from dozens to hundreds of feet) between surfaces in a single bound, or ricocheting between parallel surfaces that were too far apart for a conventional jump, among other remarkable displays.
When combined with Inertia and even Force speed, the Art of Movement allowed a practitioner to far outstrip the boundaries of 'normal' movement. This could manifest as effortlessly executing a triple somersault, or navigating diverse surfaces and gravity conditions with the grace and precision of a starfighter pilot at the helm of their craft. Achieving this level of mastery with all three abilities was a rare occurrence in the annals of the Jedi Order. However, it was attainable through dedicated study of the Art of Movement's underlying principles and extensive practical experience in conjunction with other complementary abilities.
The Order trained their younglings in this art through an obstacle course. This exercise tested reflexes and agility, requiring students to navigate a challenging course within the Temple while evading beams of light projected from the ceilings, walls, and floors.
During the Republic's final days, Jedi Master Fy-Tor-Ana oversaw and guided training sessions within the Temple's obstacle course. After Fy-Tor's demise at the hands of the Galactic Empire, knowledge of the art primarily persisted among her surviving students. Whether the New Jedi Order ever discovered records of the Art remains unknown, although the Jedi training game Skorch incorporated similar principles.
