A worrior of light does not rely on strength alone

A warrior of light does not rey on strength alone, he makes use of his apponent's energy too.

When he enters the fight, all he has is his enthusiasm and the moves and strikes that he learned during his training. As the fight progresses, he discovers that enthusiasm and training are not enough to win: what counts is experience.

Then he opens his hearts to the Universe and asks God to give him the inspiration he needs to turn every blow from his enemy into a lesson in self-defence.

His companions say: "He's so superstitious. He stopped fighting in order to pray; he even shows respect for his apponent's tricks."

The warrior does not respond to these provocations. He knows that without inspiration and experience, no amount of training will help him.
