So, my question is, does The Jedi
Church teach and practice the
defense of the innocent?
If not, why not?The Jedi Knights are
mainly peacekeepers and public
defenders, after all.
Sorry, ran out of space there.

Question about the Order
Hello, Jedi.I would like to ask a
question about the Jedi Order, as
stated in the title.It's pretty
simple.
As I remember from the Star Wars
movies, The Jedi Order is a monastic
peacekeeping organization unified by
it's belief and observance of the
Force, specifically the light side.
This leads me to believe that this
Jedi church should practice some
means of training towards the
defense of others, yet I see none on
this site.
I understand a Jedi's unwillingness
to harm another person, but there
are several Martial Arts that are
designed solely for the purpose of
defending one's self and others
without hurting the attacker, the
most famous of them being Aikido
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido)
.
Ueshiba's goal in Aikido was to
create an art that practitioners
could use to defend themselves while
also protecting their attacker from
injury.
So, my question is, does The Jedi
Church teach and practice the
defense of the inn

Question about the Order(continued)
Some of us do this
by different means.
For the record, I
know a great deal of
Jedi that take up
Aikido (even know
one that was trained
somewhere out here
in Japan by-I
believe-the
grandmaster himself.
He now teaches in
Austin, TX). This
order, as far as I
can tell, operates
outside...
