Each Jedi chooses the style of lightsaber combat that best suits him or her. For example, Grand Master Yoda uses the Ataru form to compensate for his lack of reach and height; Mace Windu uses Vaapad to turn his inner darkness into a weapon of the light; Count Dooku's practice of the Makashi form fits first of all his intention to frequently engage in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, and secondhis emphasis on class and elegance as well as precision. Jedi learn elements of each form, though few ever mastered all of them.
