From what I gather on Kotor2, They didnt care much for clothes, and preferred Unarmed combat over all, but still practiced the art of Weapons, such as staves or blasters.

i got this info from somewhere, not much we need to know from it, cause they mostly talk about the Echani handmaidens...

QUOTE

The Echani are a mysterious fictional race of well taught fighters from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The last 5 Echani Handmaiden sisters reside with Jedi Master Atris at her academy at the polar ice cap on Telos. The Echani are trained to construct barriers in their minds in order to resist force based powers. They are also trained in hand-to-hand combat. The Echani maidens were often used to hunt down rogue Jedi and subdue them for the Order. They look human, but have silver hair and often share the same facial features as their mother, meaning maternal sisters often look exactly alike.

The most notable of the Echani was Brianna, the last of Atris' Handmaidens. She served with her Mistress on Telos until the Jedi Exile arrived. After speaking with the Exile, she stowed away on board his ship, the Ebon Hawk. Eventually, it is revealed that her mother was a Jedi Knight and she herself starts on the path of the Jedi. This fact is the reason that Brianna looks different from her sisters - she does not share the same mother. This story depended on the player of the game choosing a male character. If the player chose a female character, the above story would not occur as so.

It is known the Echani held a traditional rivalry with the Mandalorians, who they viewed as bloodthirsty savages.

A version of the Echani style of unarmed combat is taught to members of Palpatine's Imperial Guard. This style has been adapted to be more brutal and efficient and less flashy.

and here is a link to some of the Echani feats usable in KOTOR 2 the game (3 in all, Echani Strike I, II, III)http://www.gamebanshee.com/starwarskotorii...hanistrikei.php

some more info

this deadly martial art was practiced by the Royal Imperial Guard during their training on Yinchorr. It was an ancient art that involved the use of a pair of short, sharp-bladed knives. The roots of the Echani martial arts could be traced back to the era before the Great Sith War, and were based on the military styles of the Echani race. Many Echani warriors developed their own specialized body armor and weapons, to further distinguish themselves from fighters who employed other styles. The martial arts of the Echani were later adopted and modified by the Sun Guards of Thyrsus, and it was this form that was later used by the Royal Imperial Guard. This modified form concentrated on jabs, chops, kicks, and other quick strikes that focused on deadliness over finesse.

sources say they are affiliated with the Imperials but obviously that would change depending on how its set out here.

this probably is a good sum up of the Echani (and yes from reliable sources

)

Echani

Category: Alien Races

This alien race was known for its military prowess, which was evident across the galaxy during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. The Echani were noted as skilled warriors, and many of their techniques became the basis for the Echani style of martial arts. The Echani were distinguished by their use of armor and weaponry that incorporated cortosis ore, allowing them to be effective combatants against the Sith as well as the Jedi Knights.

Echani Firedancers

Category: Affiliations
Type: Military

This was the name used to describe those Echani martial artists who combined grace and power with exotic weaponry, making their fighting style appear more like dance than combat. The Firedancers used a ritual staff that was heated to extreme temperatures at each end. The staff would inflict physical damage as well as intense burns when it struck an opponent.
