Vampires were not your typical opponents. They were immortal, powerful, and possessed supernatural abilities that made them formidable adversaries. Ethan knew that they were faster and stronger than any human, and that their senses were heightened to a level that made them almost impossible to surprise. He wondered if his Krav Maga training would even make a dent in their defenses.

As he mulled over these thoughts, Ethan realized that the effectiveness of his fighting style might not solely depend on its technical aspects, but also on the psychological and strategic elements. He had read about the psychology of combat and understood that fear and uncertainty could be just as debilitating as physical injuries in a fight. Krav Maga, with its emphasis on quick, aggressive counterattacks, was designed to instill fear in an opponent and create openings for escape or further aggression.

But would that work on creatures who have lived for centuries, seen countless battles, and had developed a keen understanding of combat strategies?

Vampires didn't bleed, neither they get tired. Therefore, in order for Ethan's fighting style to be effective against them, his physical abilities should be superior to those of the vampires he was going to fight. His limbs need to have enough strength to destroy the body part of the vampire where they land during the fight.

Ethan would also need to be incredibly fast and agile to outmaneuver the vampires, as well as possess keen reflexes to anticipate and counter their attacks. Additionally, he would need to have a deep understanding of vampire anatomy and weaknesses in order to effectively target and incapacitate them.

In addition to physical prowess, Ethan would also need to employ cunning and strategic thinking in his fighting style. He would have to be unpredictable, using feints and misdirection to keep the vampires off balance and create openings for attack.

Ultimately, defeating centuries-old vampires would require a combination of exceptional physical abilities, tactical skill, and a profound understanding of vampire physiology and combat tactics. Ethan's fighting style would need to be as versatile and adaptable as the vampires themselves in order to triumph over such formidable opponents.

Of course all these limitations would be further reduced once he gets his hand on powerful abilities. But until then Ethan has to give his all to train his physique.

Ethan focused on honing control over his increased strength, working diligently to master his movements and ensure that he could wield his power with precision and accuracy. He pushed himself to the limit in his training.

Finally on the third day after the breakthrough, he was able to have precise control over his strength. Now it was time to start the training again.

Ethan knew that facing ancient, powerful vampires would require more than just skill and technique. It would demand unparalleled strength and endurance. As he prepared for the future battles, Ethan dedicated himself to an intense physical training regimen. Every day, he pushed his body to the limit, as muscles grew stronger, his reflexes quicker, and his endurance greater.

His fists and feet became deadly weapons, capable of delivering bone-shattering blows. His strikes were infused with a force that could incapacitate even the strongest of adversaries.

Ethan stood on a secluded spot in the forest. It was his training ground, his sanctuary, where he could focus solely on perfecting his martial arts techniques. With the memory of countless Krav Maga videos from his previous world ingrained in his mind, he began to practice the brutal and effective fighting style.

He started with the basics, going through the stances, strikes, and defenses with an intense focus. His movements were precise and calculated, mirroring the techniques he had seen in the videos. He spent hours each day, tirelessly repeating the drills, honing his form and technique until they were nearly flawless.

As he delved deeper into his training, Ethan found that he could recall specific combinations and counters from the videos he had watched. It was as if the memories themselves were guiding his movements, helping him to seamlessly execute the complex maneuvers of Krav Maga.

The forest became an echo chamber for the sounds of Ethan's strikes, kicks, and grunts of effort. He pushed himself to the limits, feeling the burn in his muscles with every movement. His breath became a steady rhythm, his body moving with a fluidity and power that he had never known before.

With each passing day, Ethan began to feel the transformation taking place within him. His muscles grew lean and defined, his reflexes sharpened, and his endurance reached new heights. His strikes became quicker and more devastating, carrying with them the full force of his enhanced strength.

With the training of his of his physique and fighting style Ethan was becoming stronger day by day. Ethan also focused on the mental aspect of Krav Maga, training to remain calm and focused under extreme pressure. He practiced scenarios in his mind, simulating encounters with powerful adversaries and visualizing the precise techniques he would use to counter their attacks.

As he continued to train, Ethan found that the repetitive nature of the drills helped to embed the muscle memory of the techniques even deeper within him. It was as if his body had absorbed the knowledge of Krav Maga, allowing him to execute the moves with a natural grace and power.

The forest had become Ethan's training ground, his own personal dojo where he could immerse himself in the intense discipline of Krav Maga. He pushed himself to the brink, driven by an unwavering determination to become a master of the formidable fighting style.

Each day brought new challenges, new breakthroughs, and a growing sense of confidence in his abilities.

As the sun set on another day of grueling training, Ethan felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Ethan who was sitting on a branch of a tree saw someone climbing it, trying to reach him.

Armageddon, Ethan's loyal bear companion, was climbing the tree with impressive agility. Ethan smiled as he watched his beloved pet effortlessly make his way up the trunk, his massive paws finding secure footing with ease. Armageddon had grown significantly since he first came into Ethan's life as a small cub.

As Armageddon reached the branch where Ethan was perched, he let out a deep, rumbling sound that could almost be mistaken for a purr. Ethan extended his hand, allowing Armageddon to nuzzle against it affectionately. Armageddon had grown into a powerful and trusted ally, possessing a fierce protectiveness over Ethan and a deep understanding of his moods and needs.

As he gazed at the setting sun, Ethan muttered, "Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
