Manoeuvre Techniques
In The Breaker, manoeuvre techniques are the Murim's Ki based movement arts, matching the flow of energy to the ankle so that footwork carries the same force as a strike.
Manoeuvre techniques in The Breaker are internal Ki techniques concerned with movement, and every school of the Murim teaches a version of its own. They cover advance, evasion and the work of putting an opponent off balance, which makes them a component of attack and defence alike.
The martial world treats them as the foundation the rest of a fighter's art rests on, on the straightforward grounds that a strike which never reaches its target achieves nothing, however strong the arm behind it. In execution, the practitioner matches the circulation of Ki to the ankle and synchronises that flow with the physical act of stepping, so that the movement and the energy driving it arrive together.
