The Senethar are the unarmed martial arts of the Kencyrath. They are divided into four disciplines: water-flowing, earth-moving, fire-leaping, and wind-blowing. The Senthar has a sister art, called the Senetha, which also uses water-flowing, earth-moving, fire-leaping, and wind-blowing techniques, but is not a martial art, but rather, a dance. Each discipline in its own stance is a beauty to behold, both strong and graceful. But the true forms of both is when they are simultaneously implemented in one encounter and two opponents engage in a fatally rhythmic and spiritual exchange of blows, counters, and suddenly transitions to dancing that embodies the turbulent flow of power that complements battle.
