Dashun Seh'kii

Dashun Seh'kii (English: "Blade Dancer") is an ancient Sangheili martial art founded by Xyon, a legendary Sangheili swordmaster and folk hero of antiquity.

The first historical account of the fighting style's use in combat was during Xyor's duel with Vil 'Sumaz, defeating the Kiraaj ("One Move") master's techniques with constant strikes, deflections, and counter-strikes that wholly overpowered Vil's defense. Xyon later taught the art at Chu'kata fortress, holding training sessions there from the end of the Night War up until the fortress's destruction in the Deluge.

After the Deluge, the secrets of Dashun Seh'kii continued to be passed down by Xyon's surviving pupils—often remembered as the Nine Swords—and in the Seven Scrolls of the One Truth, a social and martial codex said to have been written by Xyon himself. Dashun Seh'kii has been used by Sangheili swordsmen throughout history ever since, with one of the most famed examples of its effectiveness being successful stand against several warrior-.
