14. Karate

Arthur looked at Vergo and the remaining knights with a naughty smile. When they saw the naughty smile on Arthur's face. They all tremble.

"Your Majesty, is there anything we need to do?" Vergo asked Arthur.

"You can try to destroy this building. Remember to only use physical strength."

"Yes, Your Majesty." They answered in unison and immediately put on a fighting pose and started swinging their fists toward the building.

Bang... Bang... bang...

"Okay, you guys can stop." Arthur stopped their actions.

They also stopped, having heard Arthur's orders. Now, the wall has become a hole wall.

He glanced at the hole in the wall and fell further in his contemplation. They became nervous seeing Arthur who fell in contemplation.

'Your Majesty, if you have something to say, it is better to say it immediately.' They thought

"You repeat the sequence with bare hands then swords without Qi, and bare hands then swords using Qi to destroy the building."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Even though they were confused about what Arthur was doing, they still followed Arthur's instructions.

Arthur watched their movements. After seeing their movements many times. Arthur finally understood where the strangeness of their movement was and stop their actions again.

They were very happy to hear Arthur's order to stop and hoped to get Arthur's praise. But their smiles disappeared quickly and their bright faces were replaced with dark faces because they heard Arthur's murmur in contemplation.

"It is estimated that three knights can destroy three houses within 10 minutes. If three hundred knights were together then within one day this settlement might be completely destroyed. And in three days this settlement will become an empty land with no buildings on it. And the construction of military housing can begin. They are reliable workers." The more Arthur spoke, the darker the faces of Vergo and the other two.

"Cough... cough... Your Majesty, is there anything we need to do next?" Vergo couldn't take it anymore. After making a coughing sound twice he said to Arthur.

Arthur looked at Virgo with a strange look for bothering him to think. But after seeing the dark faces of the other two knights, he finally understood that maybe his murmur was heard by them.

"Your moves are too extravagant, not focusing on your own skill type. I don't know, are you the speed or power type? Only Vergo belongs to the power type." Arthur said as he looked at Vergo who was currently feeling proud. He then continued his words, "But... If every punch was filled with power but couldn't hit the enemy, what was the purpose of that punch?"

They lack martial techniques, not only them but all knights, warriors, and martial arts masters, have the same weakness.

It's not that this world doesn't have martial techniques. From old Arthur's memory, many places like dojos, martial arts studios, etc. were built in this world.

But they prioritized the use of Qi more than anything else. But no one learns pure physical skills. With strong Qi, you can blow up the enemy's head. With strong Qi, you can destroy city walls.

It's as if with strong Qi you can do great things even become the King of this World.

Because of this thought, old Arthur also had quite good Qi control, he could use Qi to coat weapons, limbs, or his entire body.

But was it worth using a lot of Qi just to beat someone of his level?

If you have martial techniques, maybe you can defeat the enemy quickly. Like some of the known techniques in karate.

Punch Technique.

The Punch to the head, namely oi-zuki-jodan.

The Punch and pushes, namely morete-zuki.

The Punch to the side as in Kata Tekki Shodan, namely kage-zuki.

etc

Kick Technique.

Back kick, namely usiro-geri.

Kicks that are aimed at the stomach or head in a forward direction, namely mae-geri.

etc.

Kick using the upper foot, namely mawashi-geri.

Block Technique.

Block using both hands crossed, namely juji-uke.

The top block, namely the agi-uke.

The bottom block, namely gedan barai.

etc

And the human body can become vulnerable if you hit its vital points.

In executing effective karate techniques, it is necessary to learn the basics of human anatomy, physiology, and first aid. This knowledge is called - kyusho. The knowledge of Kyusho has been kept a secret for centuries. This includes the position of the vulnerable point, the impact of using the right tool, and the best situation to apply the technique to some point. If we compare karate with arrows. Then Kyusho is the poison in the arrow.

There are 3 ways to injure the vital points of the body:

1. Strike or Boxing

2. Stab or Press

3. Grab or Pinch

As a result, several conditions are possible: pain, shock, respiratory distress, temporary paralysis, sprains, fractures, and internal bleeding.

Jodan - The most important points of the human body are located on the neck and head. Some of these techniques are eye stab, nose crush, throat grab/pinch, ear slap, hair pulling, and neck stab. You can also manipulate your opponent's head to bring him down or break his neck.

Chudan - a punch to the solar plexus, a knuckle blow (shoken) to the sternum, ribs, or armpit, knuckle fist (hiraken) for loose ribs, grab/pinch the penis, smash or kick it.

Arm - an attack on the biceps can temporarily paralyze an opponent's arm. Together with the locking technique will be very effective for controlling (elbows and fingers). Pinching the skin over the triceps can be very painful.

Gedan – kicks are very often aimed at the opponent's legs (shins, crushing knees -sokuto, inner thighs, and legs). The technique is done with a sweep of the foot or by taking/grabbing the opponent's leg. The inner thigh can be pinched when performing the dodge technique.

"You all lack martial techniques," Arthur said. "I'll show you martial arts techniques. You'd better be serious and use all your abilities, otherwise, you'll be miserable. Let's get started."

Arthur uses the basic stance of karate, hachiji-dachi.

Seeing Arthur ready and serious. They take a deep breath, and after that, they attacked Arthur without hesitation. If they hesitated, they would definitely be miserable. But still, their misery didn't change. Each got one hit and K.O
