Wears the Classic spell Defensive Stance. Skills of the body: strength, speed, bearing, and work that makes you sweat.

Learning the ranks

Rank 1

The boring 90 percent

Walk with your eyes up, note exits, trust unease, and leave early. A loud, firm back-off ends more threats than any technique.

Rank 2

Learn escapes from the common grabs (wrist, bear hug, choke) against a willing partner, slowly. Escape and run is the whole goal.

Rank 3

Join a club that spars with live resistance, and learn the law on reasonable force where you live. Skill you have never pressure-tested is a rumor.

Infinite Knowledge is a guide, not a substitute for certified instruction where lives, limbs, or law are involved.
