A martial-arts secret is dramatically useful only if it changes how an encounter can be read. In The Lost Kung Fu Secrets, distinguish the announcement of special knowledge from the moment a technique becomes visible in movement. Watch for preparation, counteraction and an opponent's response: those details make a skill legible without relying entirely on dialogue to explain its importance.
