  • Senethar
rdfs:comment
  • The Senethar are the unarmed martial arts of the Kencyrath. They are divided into four disciplines: water-flowing, earth-moving, fire-leaping, and wind-blowing. The Senthar has a sister art, called the Senetha, which also uses water-flowing, earth-moving, fire-leaping, and wind-blowing techniques, but is not a martial art, but rather, a dance. Each discipline in its own stance is a beauty to behold, both strong and graceful. But the true forms of both is when they are simultaneously implemented in one encounter and two opponents engage in a fatally rhythmic and spiritual exchange of blows, counters, and suddenly transitions to dancing that embodies the turbulent flow of power that complements battle.

But the true forms of both is when they are simultaneously implemented in one encounter and two opponents engage in a fatally rhythmic and spiritual exchange of blows, counters, and suddenly transitions to dancing that embodies the turbulent flow of power that complements battle. Individual forms are called kantirs, similar to kata in Japanese martial arts.
