Moving with such speed and fluidity he appeared to have four arms and six legs while he did the dance of Owasv Ulisdelvdi(Self Defense) in front of the trainers and other students. Kicking out with his left leg into a blocking pose, into a back flip and twist to face the other direction. Blocking out with both arms to the right to stop a powerful blow, and swinging the left arm strait out to where an opponents head should be in a move to unbalance the opponent not harm. On and on it went for close to twenty minutes. When he finally stopped a few of the trainers and all of the other students had to close their mouths and shake their head to regain their composure.
"Well done Talnic, amazing actually" Amril, the lead trainer of Owasv Ulisdelvdi, spoke with true enthusiasm
Bowing low Talnic replied "Thank you sir, but I disagree with you on the amazing part. It was a near flawless routine, but that is not amazing since I have been doing that same routine for the past year and long ago perfected it. Just like the previous two forms in Owasv Ulisdelvdi, all the students practice them for one year then preform them in front of the trainers and students. If any student has failed to pass this 'test' of skill I have never heard of it and so even if I had made mistakes you would have 'passed' me onto the next form and forced me to practice it for a year before you would teach me more. It took me three weeks to perfect the last form and I had to wait another thirty seven weeks before I could move on..."
"Enough!" Amril shouted "I have heard this all before and explained to you each time, we wait for a year because it takes that long for the moves of the form to become second nature so you can use them without thought when needed.
"Really?" Talnic said sarcastically "Ok if you believe that then if you showed me the fourth form of Owasv Ulisdelvdi right now, I should not be able to use it effectively against someone who is 'testing' in the forth form of Uwoyeni Danalihv(Hand Fighting) today since they are matching forms of defense and offense? If you show me the form and I use the moves from it to successfully defend against someone using only the moves from the fourth form of Uwoyeni Danalihv, then you will let me test when ever I feel I am ready, if I fail I will wait two years between each test, and will not complain about anything else."
"I know you are eager to learn Talnic, but you must understand. This combat style takes years to master completely having twenty forms in both offense and defense. You may be the most skilled student I have ever seen, but you are still ten years younger then the average beginning student, and eighteen years younger then most students of the fourth rank in offense. You can not hope to master the defaces of the fourth rank well enough in one session to defend yourself against their counter parts." Amril stated
"I can and will, if you do not allow this challenge I will leave and seek my training else ware" Talnic said with absolute certainty
"Your parents would never allow you to leave, you are still but a child.."
"You fear to lose?" Talnic interrupted
"Fine have it your way, how long will you practice the form with me before this challenge?"
"One hour is all I need to know enough to defend myself"
"What? You said the last form took you three weeks to perfect"
"Yes, but I don't need to perfect the moves to defend myself. This style of combat is so lacking in true combat use that if anyone skilled in true combat went up against it they would fall over laughing long before the fight was over."
"This will be a humbling experience for you then, one hour of practice with me and a twenty minute fight against me. I have mastered all twenty forms in each style and will use all twenty forms of attack, while you will only have the first four forms of defense and only three of those mastered. If you fall unconscious or give up within the twenty minutes you lose, if you are conscious at the end of the twenty minutes you may be tested whenever you feel you are ready. Agreed?"
