"Well, let me explain a little more clearly. Just saying things such as 'I can break a rock with a punch' don't entirely clarify it," So, Coby straightened himself even further, beginning to take the posture of a school instructor with the practiced ease of a veteran nerd.
"The style itself is actually very basic in terms of punches, kicks, grapples and throws. The training that goes into it is what constitutes the main branch of the style. Rokushiki users train until they can make their bodies harder than steel and faster than anyone else can move. The reason why I can break cement before touching it because I can throw punches hard enough to displace air. The nature of that extreme strength is Rokushiki's 'Tekkai' and 'Soru'. Tekkai is the gesture to harden your body like steel and 'Soru' is the technique to move at immense speeds. Combining the two techniques effectively makes your direct strikes devastating."
It was going to be a long explanation, without a doubt. Coby felt content to ground himself for it, "Then, there's 'Shigan'. In the same way that you merge Tekkai and Soru, you can make parts of your body strong enough to pierce rocks and metal through direct pressure. Though, we only call it 'Shigan' because it's usually used with your fingers. Next, there's 'Geppou'. Geppou, like Soru, allows you to move at superhuman speeds, though it allows you to do so in mid air, giving the illusion that you're flying. Next, there is 'Rankyaku'. It allows the user to create blades of air by kicking or slicing the air hard enough with your extremities."
Just as Toph was likely dying from sheer boredom, Coby began to close it up, "The last technique is Kamie. It's more about body control--allowing the user to drift between strikes from their enemy by letting the pressure of their attacks push them in opposing directions! Now, there are a number of variations of techniques, customized by users solely to improve upon their usage, but I couldn't name many of them, to be honest."
