popular among the high born for its physical and mental benefits.
Positions:

First position, sword stance: The first and most fundamental fighting stance using a two-handed sword. Feet spread shoulder width apart, knees bent, weight evenly distributed; both hands in low-guard position, blade up.

Shadow stance: A posture used for moving and blending with a person’s environment.

Wavering flame position: Derived from the way a finger may pass harmlessly through a flame, this stance is best for avoiding surprise attacks from an enemy.

Shimmering water position: Named after the dizzying glare produced from rippling surface water, this form allows a fighter to feint and attack in short successive bursts that are hard to defend.

Tremor position: Like quakes summoned beneath the ground, this palms-out hand position transfers a large amount of energy into a target in an attempt to knock it off balance.

Breathing techniques: Used to control fight/flight responses, suppress adrenaline surges, and focus on critical thinking and problem solving.

Binding grips: Positions used to keep a faze staff or other weapon secure in the hands, legs, or body. When employed, it is very difficult for an enemy to strip the user of their weapon.
