Aoren continued this pattern rocking back and forth adjusting his weight between each leg repeating the crossing motion with his hands one more time before resting his weight upon his right leg. He bent at the knee bringing his arms up in front of him. He leaned on his right leg extending his left outward resting his toes lightly upon the ground weaving his arms in a simple pattern.
He brought the right arm up with the palm facing skyward while the left arm went down toward the ground his palm also facing downward. Rotating his hips so that his center of gravity rested more firmly toward his right leg he swept his right arm down cutting through the air while bringing his left palm in toward his body sliding up toward his right hand.
It looked as if Aoren were about to clap his hands together but instead he slid his hands past one another without touching them together twisting his torso to the right. He adjusted his footing lifting his left leg so that now all of his weight was completely on his right. His leg wobbled slightly as it was a little unbalanced after having been put through so many physical exercises but Aoren slid into the next stance of his technique alleviating the need for his weight to rest on one leg.
He reared back slowly then kicked outward lifting his ankle so that the heel of his left foot touched the ground. He then lunged forward pushing both of his hand outward keeping an open palm facing away from his body. Aoren repeated the motions this time altering the stance so that he bore his weight on his left leg.
He repeated the gestures twice more stepping from left to right in a smooth orderly fashion. This was the only way he knew how to properly flow through the stances of his technique. He did not possess any measure of skill that would have allowed him to do any of these gestures at full speed. He could have gotten confused and would have likely ended up skipping several crucial steps.
They key to his technique was deliberate focused motion. He had been spending a great deal of time studying what few disciplined fighting styles he knew of and was determined to adapt a style that matched his mindset. Most of the fighting styles were far too offensive for his liking. Their aim was to maim or injure while others were geared more like a less haphazard form of brawling. Aoren was not a brawler. He believed that if a person was forced into combat they should make the most of each blow to deter an opponent from further conflict. His own mindset and the technique he was working on, slowly adapting each motion to fit his mentality, was aimed more at defense and served as more of a reactionary fluid form of fighting.
