A guard shoto,[1] also called a lightsaber tonfa[2] had a regular lightsaber hilt set at a 90-degree angle to the blade,[1] which allowed the wielder to quickly change from attacking to defense, and with one movement; block an attack and counter attack. Though it was a hard weapon to master, they were very effective especially when it was used in conjunction with the Form V/Shien form of lightsaber combat, which had techniques for backhanded grips and tonfa style weapons to allow counterstrikes unexpectedly.[2]
