Coined by the current assistant blademaster, Apprentice Daxze Vipion. The Challenger Form is an adept way of saying as has been said so many times, Niman never stays still. In the hands of people, though its core must remain, it must also always be adapting to you, to the environment you find yourself in. It is the most -alive- of the six classical forms, it never stays the same and allows for absolute flexibility.
Its techniques may not be as complicated as Makashi but in their simplicity they let you add a lot of your other skills, prior knowledge and integrate your strengths in a way more rote forms might not allow. If you want to be adaptable, lean into exploring other styles or you just want something simple to fall back upon. Niman is really not a bad shout, you know.
Everything can apply the principles of Niman. Its principles extend beyond the blade to how we enter a room or see the world, it comes from and back to us and everything.
Every day is struggle and suffering but only through them you can master being alive.
