-''Fujiao'' ("foot") is unique in that its practitioners train to a degree of exclusivity. It is not an accompaniment to hand techniques, nor a secondary tool—it is the entirety of their method. While a swordsman refines his grip and a pugilist strengthens his knuckles, a fujiao disciple conditions his soles against stone, hardens his shins against trees and strengthens his tendons until they move like coiled steel.

 Beyond combat, Foot teaches a philosophy of movement, balance, and detachment from over-reliance on any single limb. It embraces the transient nature of motion, the idea that one must flow like wind across the battlefield, leaving no excess, no resistance, only perfect control of force and redirection of energy. It is a way of understanding battle as a dance, where each step is both a statement and a deception.

 == Sage Abilities ==
 The [[Sage Ability|sage abilities]] below are those acquired by a character through the study, according to status.
 === Amateur Status ===
-* '''[[Snap Kick (sage ability)|Snap Kick]]''': the character can use a kick to attack effectively.
+:* '''[[Snap Kick (sage ability)|Snap Kick]]''': allows an explosive, controlled strike that delivers force through the foot with speed rather than raw power. Unlike a traditional swinging or driving kick, which generates force through an extended motion, a snap kick relies on compact, whip-like movement, allowing for precise and rapid execution.
-* '''[[Back Kick (sage ability)|Back Kick]]''': the character can attack someone in a rear or flanking hex.
-* '''[[Kick Practice (sage ability)|Kick Practice]]''': the character can break hard objects with a kick.
+:* '''[[Back Kick (sage ability)|Back Kick]]''': strikes an opponent positioned behind or to the side without needing to turn and face them. This maneuver is particularly useful when engaged with multiple attackers, maintaining offensive capability while keeping focus on a primary opponent. The kick is typically delivered with the heel, generating force through a quick extension of the leg, often catching enemies off guard..
-<br>
 === Authority Status ===
-* '''[[Flying Jump Kick (sage ability)|Flying Jump Kick]]''': the character moves, jumps, and kicks an opponent.
+:* '''[[Flying Jump Kick (sage ability)|Flying Jump Kick]]''': allows the character to launch into the air, using momentum to deliver a powerful kick while moving forward. This technique combines mobility and offense, enabling the character to close distance quickly while striking with significant force. The added elevation can help bypass low defenses, strike over obstacles, or surprise an opponent with an unexpected aerial attack.
-* '''[[Sweep (sage ability)|Sweep]]''': the character can drop an opponent to the ground by sweeping their legs.
-<br>
+:* '''[[Sweep (sage ability)|Sweep]]''': knocks an opponent off their feet by striking or hooking their legs, forcing them to lose balance and fall to the ground. This maneuver is especially effective against opponents who are heavily armored, slow to react, or reliant on a firm stance. A well-executed sweep can disrupt attacks, create openings for follow-up strikes, or put an enemy in a vulnerable position while keeping the user standing and ready.
 === Expert Status ===
-<br>
+:* '''[[Bounding Step (sage ability)|Bounding Step]]''': allows the character to propel themselves up to ten feet in any direction by kicking off a solid surface with extreme force. Whether launching upward to gain elevation or rebounding laterally to reposition, this technique enables swift, dynamic movement, requiring but 2 [[Action Points|action points]].
