Taking up an entirely new disguise is not out of the question, but due to his work The Shadow lacks the proper time needed for devoting himself to a traditional teacher. Ichi is doing well, however, and the focus of the practice is driving the fuzziness of alcohol from The Shadow's mind. He allows his new instructor to adjust his grip and position as he sees fit. "Even in my own country I'm on the tall side, but there've been a few moments like that. Usually not just one body, though. The trick is to play dead or at least have a shield, while still not being hampered by it when the time comes to attack." With Ichi beside him, he repeats the move against an invisible opponent a few times to reinforce the feel of the proper motions.
