martial arts are a core part of the sith tradition, and sith featured in the "star wars" film series have all been highly trained warriors who further augment their abilities with the force. like the jedi, the sith's signature armament is an extremely lethal focused energy melee weapon known as a lightsaber, which (generally) only those trained in the ways of the force can use effectively. sith use lightsabers in combination with force-derived powers, such as telekinesis, enhanced dexterity and precognition, to achieve superhuman combat prowess. a fully trained sith is depicted as being at least a match for a well-trained jedi knight, and either can handily defeat multiple ordinary attackers armed with projectile weapons. in matters of dress, sith may adopt any attire consistent with their plans or guise; they commonly favor black robes, armor and gis when presenting themselves authentically.
