Vantage of Swiftness [Term]
One of the techniques wielded by the ancient Celts. A skill belonging the martial arts wielded by heroes such as Cúchulainn and the Knights of the Red Branch.
It is a high speed movement technique, a method of instantly closing the distance to the opponent. By kicking the ground and throwing oneself forward, a great distance can be crossed in the span of a single step.
However, at the higher levels of mastery, it becomes a technique that bends space, a long dimension leap technique that allows one to cross great distances in only one step. At the highest levels, an effect similar to the Seven League Boots of European folklore can be achieved.
The equivalent technique in Japanese martial arts is the Shukuchi wielded by master samurai.
