To be honest, chummer, I alwyas thought it was more like a zen/magic battle
type of thing, in that you couldn't actually perform half of it unless you
were a full-blood mage.
Odds are, this amrtial art is a carry on from the fourth age, and that
the elves who teach it are Ehran, and the rest.
There are probably three components to the complete form, the physical,
martial parts (which they may teach to mundane pixies, but NOT too
humans, etc), the meditational side (isn't their an elven expression for
Satoria or Zazen? You know, enlightment, meditation, no-mind), and the
magical side to it.
Don't challengers start off in two separate magical cricles or something?
Am I babbling too much?

Didn't you ask this before, and nobody bit?
