"No. That's wrong, you need to feel the wind around your fingers before you strike, and then release. You'll create a current within the air that will push your opponent back slightly."
Momochi instructed. It was he that was teaching Gengyo this morning, rather than Soroko. A fight was being organised for him that afternoon, in which he would fight one of the older, more experienced monks.
And for the first time in a while, Gengyo was struggling to master one of the techniques. The form was perfect, but the feeling was off. It was a grandmaster technique after all, so it would not do to look down on it.
He frowned at Momochi's words. This was his third time practising the strike, and each time he tried to imagine the feeling the old monk spoke of, but was unable to. It was odd indeed.
"Can you do it against me? So I can feel this pressure that you speak of."
