A Grand Boxer was a martial artist who had mastered and integrated the Three Energies.
Every such figure was a pillar of a martial arts school in their region, and part of that school's foundation.
Spreading its branches and passing on its martial arts-whether a school could flourish and grow depended on people like these.

In years past, when Northern Fist spread south and Southern Fist spread north, most of the martial artists who transmitted those arts were accomplished practitioners who had integrated the Three Energies.
Some were old, some had damaged bodies, and some had tired of the martial world. With no hope of reaching Foresight and no desire to contend for it, they had finally laid aside their killing intent and malice, choosing to settle in one region and recruit disciples for their schools, shouldering the burden of spreading their branches.
Unlike those bold, fiercely advancing rising talents, these figures were all seasoned veterans. Even martial artists newly initiated into Foresight would not lightly provoke them into exchanging moves.
For they had already seen lofty heights and weathered countless deadly fights. Their fighting methods were ruthless and seasoned, and each had worked out at least a few lethal killing moves. In a fight to the death, an opponent who wanted to win was not what frightened people. What frightened them most was an opponent who cared nothing for victory or defeat and instead threw their life into crippling both body and spirit, solely to cut off their enemy's future on the Martial Way.
