An entirely random martial arts technique just for fun and advertising. Or something. The curving knee, for lack of a better term, is one of those counter-intuitive movements that - unlike most counter-intuitive movements - is actually quite simple. While a good forward/upward thrust or angled thrust to the torso is powerful, and Okinawan knee strikes to the thighs are kind of bitchy, a curving knee is sneaky. If one is clinched with the opponent, and said opponent is slightly to one side or trying to reap you by stepping past, the curving knee strike can arc up and inward, striking with the inside of the knee or thigh. Like a boxing hook, at first it feels like no power can be generated, but with a proper twist of the waist a surprisingly satisfying thump can be had.

if light could be tasty, this would be it; but where has it gone? I would demand it as the secret ingredient in Iron Chef immediately

more fishy fun; that is one thing I have never seen in sushi, swim bladders
