Many Thanks for the new chapter, @nakimov.
Besides the literal invocation of the Bruce Lee quote regarding a fighter who has practiced 1 technique 10,000 times in this chapter, this chapter also brings up the notion of a "double attack," something you often see in kickboxing and sometimes in MMA. It is when a fighter is proficient in throwing and landing punches and kicks from their dominant power side that they use one to setup the other (ie. using power kicks to setup punches and vice-versa). The most common kind of "double attack" is using rear hand punches to setup the rear-leg kick (either low, middle, or high). Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic is perhaps the most well known Double Attacker in kickboxing and MMA, having made his name off of utilizing and alternating his Southpaw left rear kick and left rear hand straight punch to score brutal knockouts in his career. Though what Akita has now does not quite count as a "double attack," as he needs now to be proficient in throwing his kick at multiple levels, not just low.
