[Nice form, in that it is nearly formless. This spar is going to be a tough one. He's gonna need everything he's learned.
Fortunately, iaido translates well to hand-to-hand. It does incorporate some aikido principles, after all. Adamantine Hand will probably have to take care of the rest.]
Excellent form, man. You'll probably dislocate a few of my joints. Well, I'll try to make it hard for you!
[That last word came as a bit of a yell, because he has charged into Nico's space. Forces Adamantine Hand, in its pure physical aspect, is a lot like the magical aspect: brutal, forceful, and seemingly unsubtle, but is actually quite deceptive in the hands of a skilled practicioner.
As he plants his pivot foot (the right) in Nico's range, he feints a standard right open palm thrust, but at the last minute, switches it for a high-low left elbow/shin strike.]
