Kendrick Knight

## Behavior/Personality

Kendrick an excitable man with a boisterous personality. He loves meeting new people, having friendly competitions, and gambling. Headstrong and often impulsive, it fell to others to be more responsible or realistic about things that Kendrick had gotten carried away with. When taken down in this way, or even when simply presented with information that troubled him, Knight can do a near-immediate about-face, going from laughing to sulking. These moping periods are typically brief though, and he'd quickly go back to his usual high-spirited nature.

Despite the first impression he may give, Kendrick was capable of being serious when it came to matters that were important to him and If nothing else, Knight was kind, placing the needs of others before his own: he is even willing to sacrific his own life if it would save another.

## **Fighting Style**

**Wing Chun** -(traditional Chinese: 詠春; simplified Chinese: 咏春) is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilising both striking and grappling while specializing in close range combat.

Many Wing Chun lineages emphasize fighting on the outside of the opponent rather than facing them head on. Such a position could be described as standing at an angle where the Wing Chun practitioner can strike with both their arms, while their opponent can only strike with one of their own arms due to poor positioning. This is often referred to as "taking the blindside" or "fighting on the outside gate".

Balance is related to structure because a well-balanced body recovers more quickly from stalled attacks and structure is maintained. Wing Chun trains the awareness of one's own body movement derived from muscular, tendon, and articular sources. Performing Wing Chun's forms such as Chum Kiu or the Wooden Dummy form greatly improve proprioception. Wing Chun favours a high, narrow stance with the elbows kept close to the body. Within the stance, arms are generally positioned across the vitals of the centerline with hands in a vertical wu sau, position to readily placed block fast moving blows to one's vital striking points down the centerline of the body--neck, chest, belly and groin. Shifting or turning within a stance is carried out variantly on the heels, balls, or middle (K1 or Kidney 1 point) of the foot depending on lineage. All attacks and counter-attacks are initiated from this firm, stable base.
