Exvoth

Exvoth is the close-combat aspect of Tek-Vothiam - the physical branch of Jin martial art Ir-Vothiam.

It focuses on efficiency of action against another and translating the more introspective Invoth philosophies into close-combat techniques which, if done correctly, can be savage.

It tends to be mainly focused on joint locks and personal defense, though more advanced Tek-Vothiam may also involve staffs and eventually swords with which to take part in combat, but the requisite spiritual understanding must be demonstrated through Eit-Vothiam before this is permitted, just as the body must be disciplined before certain stages of spiritual learning are allowed to take place. And of course, honorable execution techniques are of the utmost importance.
