Winter's dew morning already broke into the desolate clearing, a sole shadow danced around the old stone flooring as it was silently going through the forms, his feet slapped stone while fists and open palms swerved in awkward directions . Hakuda has many variations, old styles were created for war while some more recent lean towards the "art" side.
Yun utilised an old variation developed by the Feng family, one of their five main styles of combat that specialised in disabling the opponent physically through the use of diverting the weight and power of coming attacks while hitting pressure points and these intentions shrouded by a variety of feints.
Although it sounds complicated, it was still one of the easier styles of main five, mostly due to the starting steps and motions can be memorised like a dance routine, could also look like some weird one-man tango, from what Yun heard from some squad mates who likely tried to cheer him up with that comment but only to suffer his ire once he learned what tango was.
His brow scowled as the mind became clouded with irrational chatter, enough to trip into his own sweat after one wrong step. "Got too focused again, too slow, not enough awareness..." Yun rolled over to greet the sky above, white vapour flew out as he steadied his breathing while voicing personal setbacks and screw-ups, vocal irritation regressed into silence as he started to think of these failures instead, wasting more breathe will just tire him out for longer after all.
Yun's physical condition wasn't up to par nowadays, probably focusing on serving the Shihoin household had taken a toll on this old routine and made him more lanky, lack of distinct muscle and weak. one of his sprawled out limbs slammed the stone floor in protest, a part of himself telling to get up and stop wasting time, or was it annoyed of his inability to continue a once simple routine that didn't end with him huffing on the floor, he didn't even finish half of this set yet.
Frustrated and slightly tired, Yun's breathing calmed significantly soon enough, allowing him to throw himself up once more and tackle the steps with a purpose, just finishing half of the set would satisfy the rogue now. Once again sounds of stamping feet, rushing fists and fixed breathing filled the near barren and cold training hall.
