## Abilities

### Fighting Prowess

Gamin is the strongest, if not one of the strongest fighters of Blue String Universe.

A strong person who is at the same level or higher as the strong players at the top line even within the PVP legendary tier during his uncle Youngha's era.

Even experts who have been practicing martial arts for decades, such as Chinatown's Ministry of Construction and Wing Chun, appeared surprised by Gamin's heaven-given talent. In addition, Youngha Jeon, one of Blue String's strongest players and Gamin's uncle, also referred to Gamin as a genius nephew.

### Jeet Kune Do

Youngha Jeon, his uncle, taught Jeet Kune Do through many sparrings.

#### Uncle's Forbidden Tactics

During training with Youngha, he eventually taught him forbidden tactics of Jeet Kune Do that he gain through past. He trained him and banned various techniques from sparring with him after being treated harshly by Gamin when sparring.

However, considering Youngha's fighting power and how vicious and threatening Gamin's banned techniques are, it seems that Youngha, put the brakes on Gamin to prevent him from abusing his techniques against others, rather than being afraid of being treated harshly. As seen in his time during **Hanlim Gym**. Therefore, he limited and prevent any possible corruption if Gamin is too far into fighting and cause fatalities.

#### Tactics 1-10

One characteristic is that as the number increases, it tends to require more and more technique. If the numbers are numbered in the order in which Youngha banned them, it seems that as they sparred, Gamin became stronger and was able to freely use techniques that required technique.

Number 1 is basic repeated hits and kicks, Number 2 is a close fight, Numbers 3 and 4 are powerful single strikes, and Numbers 5-9 are homages to the techniques used by Bruce Lee. The exception is number 10, which relies on instinct and simply takes an aggressive stance to win over the opponent, breaking away from the level of technique and jumping over the fence called Jeet Kune Do. It is closer to a kind of mental control rather than a technique.

Note: In the YLab Universe Encyclopedia, numbers 5 to 8 are all made up move via "Bruce Lee Movie" + "detailed technique name."

Essentially a ruthless barrage of punching and kicking; into the vital However, the downside is that it is a simple chain of punches and kicks, so it is of little use if dodged or blocked them all.

As long as the cup is empty, it attacks by any means possible. Just like the name, uses any dishonorable or cheating attacks such as kicking the crotch or using the opponents accessories (Ex.necklace). Interestingly, it may only be used when the mind is empty. As seen in Gamin's eyes being completely black and unfocused.

* **Unfair Play By Force**

An attack while taking a small amount of drugs.

Normally, the user will have a sense of reason but with the drugs, it negates thinking and produce more lethal attacks; enough to kill. Such as breaking a bottle and sticking it in the opponent's foot. Moreover, it is a very dangerous situation in which identification of enemies is not possible.

A technique of grabbing the opponent's head and driving it into the ground. Grab the other person's face and headbutt them, or grab the back of the head and slam their face into the ground. It is said to be the most powerful among the banned techniques if limited to the power of one hit.

* **Wedge Kick Version**

Technique of using with the foot instead of the hand. This technique involves kicking the opponent's head very strongly with the foot and slamming it into the floor.

Wedge Kick Version |  | **Tactic 4: One Inch Punch**

A tactic that takes away the opponent's breath in one merciless punch. However, perhaps due to the limitations of its origin, it is difficult to say that its power is very great. As Siwan & Minhwan, who got hit, got up again.

* **0-Inch Punch (Final Strike)**

Essentially the same tactic but with more power

Essentially 5 consecutive kicks (low kick → middle kick → high kick three times). This move name was inspired by the film 'Way of the Dragon," as Bruce Lee fights Chuck Norris in the final battle.

An attack that uses a flying kick. To be trained, one must keep using the feet and refrain from using hands. It needs a distance and a running start. This move name was inspired by the film "The Big Boss," that Bruce Lee was in.

This move was also used by Youngha Jeon during Hanlim Gym (Webtoon).
* **Round Trip**

A sub move where this tactic is used back and forth from left to right.

a flying kick technique similar to Tactic 6 but the apparent difference is that it is a high jump, followed p with a foward jump kick. It is the same technique as Siwan's Technique No. 4.

As named, it is inspired by "Fist of Fury" a film starring Bruce Lee.

It is a technique that swings the nunchaku brilliantly and pushes the opponent without giving them a chance. Because it is swung with all its might, even an aluminum nunchuck has eqeual power of an iron version.

Essentially as the name implies. A close range attack by jumping upwards back with the foot hitting the opponent. Then landing on the opponent with a final stomp.

Jinbeon itself is a state rather than a skill. This state enhances Gamin's power and his other tactics. Refer below for Tactica 10.

### Taekwondo (Mother's Basics)

The basics of Taekwondo that Gamin learned from his mother, former MVP of the women's division at the World Taekwondo Championships.

However, it is unlikely that Gamin's mother, who hopes to keeping her son away from violence, taught it to Gamin directly, and perhaps Gamin learned it by watching his mother's Taekwondo or did it on his own. It is highly likely that he was self-taught. A total of three have appeared, but it is not clear how many times they exist.

Unlike banned techniques, these are the 'basic techniques' of Taekwondo, so the techniques do not require a high degree of difficulty or are flashy, but are characterized by being disciplined and restrained.

Basic fist technique of Taekwondo. The technique is having a solid grounding stance and the body at crouch level. Then put the fist upside down and then twist the torso to make the swing. However, controlling the regime is not a good technique to use in actual combat. Unless the user is of the level of former national athlete, it is unlikely to be used well in real life.

An evasive, offesnive technique where Gamin gave up his Jeet Kune Do form and used the technique, quickly moving behind. Then he apply a cock screw kick to create a true hit.
