In the ship's training area, Totoma was hard at work refining his skills. In the past few years, he had come to a realization--that while his mother had taken Saiyan-Do to the level of an artform, it simply didn't suit him. Yes, he had long since accepted his saiyan side, but in his heart, he was a zhu, and it was only right he
fight like one. As such, before leaving Earth, he had not only asked his father--a master of the style--to record himself fighting and performing katas, but gone to Boar Island to ask the same of his grandfather, who was the grandmaster to his father's master.
He spent some time watching those recording, committing the movements to memory. No, not just the movements... he took something he learned from Ochazuke and attempted to dig to the very heart and rationale behind the style. Why they moved and fought as they did. Certainly, he lacked Ochazuke's finely honed observational skills, but at the same time, merely forcing himself to think like that...
...it bore fruit once he began his training in earnest. His natural saiyan aptitude for fighting, of course, helped a lot, but taking even a slightly deeper look at his clan's style allowed him to adapt and refine it further than he'd ever dreamed of. The style originated from his ancestors mimicking boars, and as such, practitioners of the style typically fought in a very low stance. To outsiders, it would appear to be mere animalistic brawling, but the style had a focus on flexibility, both in how it approached combat and... body. One of the key teachings was to perform certain stretching exercises until he could quite literally
bend over backwards and put his head between his legs.
...or 'kiss his own ass' as his mother had put it one time.
Each strike, each movement, was quick, designed to press an opponent and 'gore' them like a boar's tusk. He wasn't quite adept enough at this point, but as he had little else to do, he spent his... days, for lack of a better way of putting it, practicing the Boar style almost obsessively. If not that, then training with Karine, and if not
that, then... cooking.
Honestly, most would find it repetitive, but he really enjoyed this sort of simple routine.
