"Swallow Return Fist is the basic boxing technique of the Swallow Form Fist sect. Swallows are skilled at flying, soaring to the sky, skimming over clear waters, adept at dodging and making sharp turns—they are extremely agile.
The mnemonic goes: Flip and scoop water, lift the kidneys and stabilize the waist, dodge and spread your wings, calm the heart and nourish the brain; pierce the sky to observe the crown, scoop water and watch the feet, draw kidney essence, Swallow Form armored.
Whether it's the standard Martial Arts 'Swallow Return Fist' or the True Skill-level Swallow Form Fist, as long as you grasp these four key points, you've mastered the essence of this technique."
