Frost-Treading Step

The Frost-Treading Step is a martial arts skill, specifically one of movement, which is currently taught in the Frost Valley School.

Description
Wondrous is the man, who treads on frost without trace...

The key of the Frost-Treading Step reflects the martial philosophy of speed and the direct offence which characterises the Frost Valley School. Just as their offensive skills are unsubtle, fierce and deadly, the Frost-Treading Step focuses not on the ability to surprise or to evade, but on pure speed to close in with the enemy.

Those who have practiced this to a high level of achievement can cross enormous distances with one bound, and arrive before their enemy from a distance away before the enemy has even readied himself. Even Yao Zhiqing, who admits he is not a master of this skill, can easily cross 6 yards in one bound.
