Mind Technique:

Behold infinity. Two circles of energy upwell from the center rotating outwards sequentially forming an infinity loop.

Hand Technique:

Hold sword in one hand. Direct the knuckles up from the right, follow the circle rotating up, over, and down to the left. Then direct the knuckles from the bottom left to center to catch the other rotating circle, up, over, and down. Move the knuckles in this infinity loop, and the blade will follow, flashing in the fading light.

Body Technique:

As the sword-knuckles are directed upward like a boxers uppercut, the whole body moves in an opposite direction. The sword arches in a circle, then aims for the opposite upwelling. As the sword moves on, the whole body moves opposite like a counterbalance.

Transition:

Return to center, transition to next form by shifting weight to left leg, turning entire torsoe forty-five degrees to the right, and drawing right leg back and to the right by forty-five degreess. Return to balanced weight...
