A continuation of the themes found in Coruscant I. We escalate the opening shield into a deflector for a much faster counterattack. Footwork is a bit more complex this time, featuring a spin-shield. Recommended you do not use a heavygrade blade unless you conduct your hook and low pommel-cut very slowly.

The crux of this sequence is definitely the spin move, which technically encompasses several movements. I've tried to break them down as clearly as possible in the list above. The spin really begins in Movement 7, when you may already be partially turned around. By completing the rest of the sequence, you do one full rotation.
Note that when you are doing a forward-pass but reverse-faced, that means you are stepping AWAY from your opponent with your back turned to them. You then finish fully turned around and facing your opponent once again.
