The Martial Wizard
Vibora Paciente & Huelga De La Vibora
Through rigorous and elite training, Isandro has conditioned himself into becoming one of the worlds most premier swordsman. Born into an elite family of fellow weaponry masters, and having being trained and then bested many of the worlds great sword masters from Germany, Italy, France and his homeland of Spain. As well as studying books and ancient scrolls from the likes of Camillo Agrippa, Ridolfo Capoferro, Vincentio Saviolo as well as others. Through these acts the way of the blade (Most notably the Rapier and descendants of said blade) have become a language even greater than his native tongue.
Isandro through great practice, learning what arts to keep and which to discard would develop his own styles of elite swordsmanship, by utilizing what he had been taught and then evolving it to suit his needs and physical advantages. The first style Vibora Paciente relies on patience, perfect poise through placing the body at a slight angle and counter striking. It places it's emphasis on an impenetrable defence in which the user through carefully placed footwork and ambidextrous switching of the hands leaves no openings, but at the same time makes the opponent believe they are defenceless. The user will wait for the opponent to strike first, drawing them into an area known as the striking field. Once inside Isandro's great speed and reflexes allow him to counter and strike with unnerving speed and precision. Even if the opponent can themselves defend from his rapid counter, Isandro will have the advantage of conserving stamina, meaning over a long drawn fight he has the advantage.
On the other hand, when faced with an opponent of a similar mindset and patient approach to the battle, Isandro will apply the Huelga De La Vibora. A style which emphasises on attacking first controlling the fight and aiming to end it quickly and efficiently. The style is greatly enhanced through Isandro's incredibly heightened strength, speed and reflexes not to mention an air of unpredictability which is shown through the rapid attacks often aimed at the opponents various weak points, joints, major arteries, the neck and heart. Meaning even if the user cannot kill the adversary quickly, they will systematically break them down. Speed is a great asset in the Huelga De La Vibora, more so than strength. A practitioner is taught to make what looks like a single strike become 3 even 5, meaning an opponent will have a much more difficult time of defending against it. Isandro however can make a single strike to they eyes of any other man become up to 30, it is this unnerving speed combined with deadly precision which gave him his infamous name.
Martial Arts Expert
Much like his skills with a blade, Isandro has conditioned his body and mind to the upper echelons of martial practice. Becoming an exceptional hand to hand fighter, utilizing the same methods of his blade arts and shifting them to suit an unarmed approach. Isandro is an exceptional pure striker boasting a striking speed of frightening speed, but it is perhaps not the speed of the strike that is most devastating or even the exceptional accuracy in which he strikes but the speed in which he can recoil his arm back to a defensive position, making it difficult to counter attack or throw of his defensive game, something that Isandro has perfectly mastered. He is patient, always aware and reads the game like a book. He has become finely tuned in multiple striking styles. In essence Isandro is equally adept at taking the fight to the opponent, as he is patiently waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Although placing a great emphasis on a great striking and counter attacking game, Isandro is never the less a great grappler as expected of someone with great reading abilities of his opponent and patience. Isandro is an expert of using a persons own movements and momentum against them, a trait so good he can make an individual feel as though he is not even throwing them. Isandro will use precise locks, joint holds and throws. Because of his amazing speed, Isandro has an almost defenceless take down, which often surprises opponents and leaves them open once he mounts them. Even if the delay is for just a fraction of a second, Isandro's striking speed quickly comes into play leading to K.O with a high accuracy percentage. Not just good in grappling his opponents, his great understanding has led to a great defensive game.
Isandro is an expert in Pencak Silat, Sambo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Kenpo, Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, Kalaripayattu, Karate, Muay Thai, Pankration, Savate, Tae Kwon Do ect.
