  • Tahtib

Don't touch my stick
Don't touch my stick
Ancient Egyptians performed stick fencing  as a form of entertainment  This type of fencing was probably based on actual fighting systems used in combat with a shield and a sword  which then evolved into a system with its own rules and methods. Though this way of battling an opponent gives the fighter an option of killing., Unlike swords and knives you have no choice but to kill. But with Tahtib there is always the option of incapacitating your rival with out the danger of killing them.   

 
Talon does not unusually use this form of fighting because she doe not need to. She used this knowledge as mostly training in hopes to gain better agility and hand eye coordination which this form of fighting grants her greatly. In many cases instead of using a stick Talon would fid herself in a situation where she had not many options in weaponry. In one case she is able to use the hilt of a gun and maneuver it like it was an actually stick. 
 
 The Tahtib sill grants her the ability to always improvise in any situation. There are also many other ways to battle using an ordinary weapon such as a metallic rod as well. She is able to vault herself along with giving her extra momentum while either running or in battle. She was taught this style of fighting my an old friend that she made while she was in Africa. He tighter her the ways to fight and how to fight. She has the skill almost mastered now just needs a reason to use it.
