She marked the new board with another "x" and then asked him to break it in two. He took a step back and brought his arm back and aimed for th "x". She caught his punch as he threw ot though and he looked confused at her.

"You musn't waste time by charging up an attack. The attack loses speed for power when everything must be balanced. Watch again." she said as she retook her position from earlier and faced the board. She did th exact sam punch as before but this time he took note that her punch was executed in such a manner that she never moved her fist away from the board.

Mesthesi nodded and then tried for himself once she had replaced the board. His fist was incapable of doing so. His master turned to him and said "You need to make yourself more powerful and faster. This comes from training so get to work. Start on your cardiovascular and then your muscle building then we'll talk about nutrition."

Mesthesi sighed but then went over to the treadmill followed by the dojo master. He got on and straight away there was no mercy as he was forced to a full on sprint. He ran at this pace for around thirty minutes then it was upped for another thirty. Somehow he survived and he was allowed to stop.

He relaxed for short while and then he started on his muscular progression he worked all of the most important groups and some of the other less important but still useful ones. The workout was vicious and it took everything he had to stop himself from collapsing. He eventually got up though and took a slight rest.

When he got up he felt drained and hungry but before he could find anything to eat he was subjected to a lecture regarding nutrition and a healthy diet. He found it hard to focus but eventually got the gist of what he should and shouldn't eat, the best food groups and the less desirable ones.

He eventually was allowed to eat and was served pasta, salad and other healthy foods. When he was finished he got up and was led to the training area. The master was awaiting him and performing several series of moves. He went up to her and asked to begin learning the moves they practiced.

She laughed and said "That's a common misconception. We have no special moves, "From form to formless and from finite to infinite." you must be without limitations and adaptable to achieve victory in combat. We teach no moves only form."

He understood now and asked what the forms core ideals were. She said "Always go for the closest part of your opponent with you closest attack. If I tried to attack your head with my kick I'd leave my self open to attack, but if I tried to kick your kneecap it would be more efficient."

Mesthesi nodded and she continued "Every attack can be blocked or counter attack. The latter is the harder to master but more effective and the former is easier and can be equally effective if perfectly executed."

She finished by saying "Finally, every movement must be quick and powerful. Waste no time or movement, everything must have purpose." Mesthesi tried to figure out the perfect fight for the form.

Many possibilities sprung to mind and he decided to actually learn the form rather than fantasising. He watched as another fighter was summoned over and he looked confidently at Mesthesi. The master said "This fighter is more experienced than you but still has not mastered the form. If you adhere to our techniques you should win."

Mesthesi nodded and placed the back of his hand to his opponents to begin. The master whistled and Mesthesi went for the punch. His opponent went for it too and they both hit. Mesthesi went straight in for the attack though as did his opponent.

Mesthesi's low kick hit his opponent's upper leg and his opponent's fist got him in the chest. Mesthesi watched as his opponent went in for another punch and he grabbed his arm and flipped him over with it. He was sent face first to the floor and Mesthesi gained the first point.

They restarted and Mesthesi thought only of the four tennants. He started fighting and his opponent let his guard down early on in the fight. Mesthesi saw an open gap and sent a screaming upper kick towards his opponents jaw. It hit him perfectly and sent him flying backwards.
