COMBAT GUIDELINES
Combat includes the study of fighting and physical defense. Students with superior strength, agility, etc choose majors and/or minors from this category. Combat is divided into two major classes
Weapons Although there are general weapons classes where other types might be added, weapons classes basically offers six primary choices to its students:
Swords--All-around close-combat weapon. Lances--Close-combat weapon with a longer range than the sword; can be thrown as a long-range weapon. Axes--heavier and less accurate than a sword, but with potential to cause higher damage. Archery--Bow and arrow; traditional long-range weapon. Knives--Light-weight, close-combat weapon; can be thrown as a long-range weapon. Staffs/Spears/Scythes—close combat weapon
Students can elect to train in weapons outside of the main spectrum so long as there is a faculty member qualified to give them lessons in their weapon of choice.
Unarmed Unarmed combat students rely on the utilization of their physical strength, speed, and movements rather then on weaponry or tools. Unarmed combat deals with the movement of the body to disarm an opponent, defend against weaponry, and movement based primarily on agility and silence. Unarmed combat focuses not only on fighting but also on flexibility, acrobatics, and stealth.
Upper level unarmed combat students learn how to deflect a weapon without being harmed, move without being seen, jump high enough that they seem to fly through the air, and how to strike an opponent so they are paralyzed. Only the most advanced levels are taught how to kill without weaponry.
