He wasn’t surprised by the immediate answer – for it was incredibly effective, but there were other portions to a person’s body that could be easily displaced, marred, and wounded, permitting someone time to escape. So the Sword nodded at her initial answers, before providing some of his own. “You want to think about where you can injure while not harming yourself in the process.” Assaulting and sieging upon another’s bones could end up with cracked portion of their own, which was never the point in his line of instruction. While there was no fail safe in fighting and combating, he certainly would teach them how to be the most effective and safe. “Hair, eyes, temples, base of the skull,” pointing to where it lingered on the dummy. “Nose, ears, chin, jaw, and mouth, throat, sides and back of the neck, clavicle, ribs, small of the back, solar plexus, knees, and top of the foot are other decent areas.”

Content with those knowledgeable qualities, he turned back towards her. “We can try the front stance first.” Returning to the prior position, he demonstrated, modeled, and provided examples. “Face your opponent,” in this case, the target, “with your feet shoulder width apart. Take a half step backwards with your dominant leg. Raise your hands in moderately tight fits shoulder level,” and he provided the same image. “Dominant hand in back, recessive in front, with elbows slightly bent.” Deimos remained in said pose, until Alys could reflect it back.
