At the cost of a constant mana drain, this block attempts to stop or reduce physical damage aimed at your body. UNBLOCK BODY will cause you stop blocking.

A specialized kick that attempts to sweep the legs out from under your opponent.

Bear

Syntax:
BRS

A highly specialized stance, designed specifically for lethal punching.

Slam

Syntax:

A basic throw which slams your opponent into the ground, causing damage to your opponent's health. It also halts any momentum a tumbling opponent may have and stop them dead.

Vault

Syntax:
VAULT <stance>

When mounted, you may vault from your steed to the ground and flow straight into a Tekura stance. You must use the shortened name of the stance you wish to go into, for example DRS for Dragon stance.

Moonkick

Syntax:
MNK <player> left/right

This kick, so-called because the foot travels in the arc of a crescent moon, attacks the arms of your opponent.

Guarding

Syntax:
GUARD <Head | Torso | Left arm | Right arm | Left leg | Right leg | Nothing>

This ability is similar to, but an improvement on, the parrying ability that those with sufficient skill in weaponry can use. It allows you to not only guard a single location on your body against attack, but counter any attacks made to there by automatically throwing your opponent to the ground and stunning him.

Wolf

Syntax:
WFS

This stance is highly accurate, though tends to do a little less damage than Dragon Stance.

Backbreaker

Syntax:
BBT <player>

This is considered the ultimate throw. It deals severe damage to the opponent, even damaging his or her spine in the process. Once the opponent has suffered a sufficiently damaged back it will kill.

Jumpkick

Syntax:
JPK <player> [<stance>]

With this ability, you are able to demonstrate your ability to combine style and power in a single move, the jump kick. Starting in an adjacent location, you will fly in, slam your outstretched foot into your unlucky victim's body, knocking him to the floor, stunning him, and doing a fair amount of damage.

Note that if you are mounted, you can specify the short name of a stance (for example, WFS) to flow into when you land from the jumpkick.

Dragon

Syntax:
DRS

A state of mind stance that is considered by many to be amongst the most powerful. It has few weaknesses, but its strengths are many. While other stances will surpass this stance in certain areas, none will rival the all-around useability of this stance.
