Chapter 723

• “This style is all about twisting wraps and spiral force. You rotate the arm to punch. The fist travels in a curve—seek the head through the curve. Attack within defense, and hide offense inside defense!”
• On the ring, Amelda Coombes ran through a few moves. “I’ve watched that guy fight. He’s maddeningly hard to read. What I’m showing is just scratching the surface.”
• “Remember this. Three strikes with one main line, both arms and one leg firing together. Use circles, angles, lines, and points as your base. Move on an arc, keep the circle unbroken. Always stay side-on to your opponent. The instant you touch, you explode; once you explode, you land; one point to win... Real mixed with fake, feints mixed with solid shots. Inside and outside lock together. Form and intent echo each other.”
