3 130 I felt it could have felled a small tree with a single blow.
Details
10
8 10 Even men of a caste as low as that of the Tarn-Keepers were intolerably proud of their calling, for who else could raise and train those monstrous birds of prey? I supposed Zosk the Woodsman was proud in the knowledge that he with his great broad-headed ax could fell a tree in one blow, and that per...

11 105 He did not take his eyes from the Tatrix, wanting to strike at the first instant she permitted the blow.
Details
10
13 121 I turned my yoke obliquely, slipping between the horns, blocking the blow.
Details
10
13 125 Once, twice more he charged, and each time I managed to block the blow, withstanding the shock of the crashing yokes, escaping the thrust of the murderous horns.
Details
10
14 39 I saw the great wings snap, smiting the air, the hurricane from their blow spilling slaves into the sand, tangling chains, as the great beast, lifting its head and smelling the open air, struck it with his wings.

10
23 131 One side of the helmet had been cracked open, perhaps by the blow of an ax.
Details
10
23 137 The helmet had largely absorbed the blow but the blade of the striking instrument had creased the skull, accounting for the flow of blood.
Details
10
23 138 Most likely the force of the blow had rendered him unconscious and the blood had suggested to his assailant that the job was finished.

25 82 Then I turned so that it was my body that was exposed to the blow of the sword carried by the man in wrist straps.

10
33 86 "Now the Priest-Kings blow the breath of my sacrifice as a blessing upon you, letting it travel to the ends of Gor to speak of their wisdom and mercy!" There was a great cry of joy from the crowd and shouts of gratitude to the Priest-Kings.

Details
10
10 555 In this chase, rather undignified, Kamras had struck a dozen times and each time, astoundingly, the off-balance Kamchak, holding his sword now like a physician's pestle, had managed somehow to meet the blow.
Details
10
20 98 "Who are you?" "Do not ask questions," snapped Harold, "here is the girl—take her!" The guard shrugged and as he took Hereena from Harold I winced as the young man felled him with a blow that might have broken the skull of a bosk.

10
14 61 In questions of ramming, I suppose the heavier ship would deliver the heaviest blow, but, even this might be contested, for the lighter ship would, presumably, be moving more rapidly.

10
17 391 As he sank forward I wrenched free my sword hand and, holding the sword still in my fist, struck him a heavy blow across the jaw with my fist.
Details
10
18 102 My blade leaped from its sheath and I parried his blow.
Details
10
18 255 Then, with a swift motion, he leaped behind her and, with the flat of his blade, dealt her a sharp, stinging blow.

10
18 269 The dignity of the proud Telima, I gathered, could not endure another such blow.

10
13 840 He was met with another war cry, and suddenly, only feet from us, another tarn streaked past, and I heard the forcible, tearing scrape of a broad, bronze spear blade, its blow turned, sliding across the metal-bound, layered, boskhide shield of my captor.
Details
10
13 846 If the other man had not been fastened in his saddle by the great strap the force of my captor's blow would have struck him from the saddle.
Details
10
13 851 Again the other's spear struck, and again the blow was countered by my captor's shield.
Details
10
13 853 Twice more the attacker pressed in, and each time, again, the shield turned the blow, once but inches from my body.
Details
10
13 884 The blow would have cut my face in two.
Details
10
16 208 Doubtless, to be so garbed would have constituted a considerable blow to the exquisite vanity of the high-born, high-caste Talena, even the daughter of a Ubar.
Details
10
16 209 But doubtless even a greater blow was to have been given away by Rask of Treve, and to a woman! I did not doubt but what Verna appreciated the ironies of this situation.

16 247 I did not doubt but what that blow had been quite painful.

19 314 She had felt a man's blow, though a light, swift one, suitable for the disciplining of women.
Details
10
19 376 The women, one by one, did not seem to understand what was happening, but each, in turn, was struck twice, at an interval of a few Ihn, that the pain of the first blow be truly felt and understood before the second was delivered.
Details
10
19 377 At the first blow, the girls fell to their knees, eyes glazed, choking, unable to believe their pain.

7 16 I caught the blow on its handle, with the handle of my ax, and, lifting my left fist, not releasing my ax, hurled him from his feet to his left.

10
7 37 "Then we will find another post!" There are many tricks in the use of the ax; feints are often used, and short strokes; and the handle, jabbing and punching; a full swing, of course, should it miss, exposes the warrior; certain elementary stratagems might be mentioned; the following are typical; it ...
Details
10
7 39 If one can get behind the ax, of course, one can meet it; but it is not easy to get behind the ax of one who knows its use; he need only strike one blow; he is not likely to launch it until it is assured of its target.
Details
10
7 127 The spine, of course, would be immediately severed; moreover, part of the ax will, if the blow be powerful, emerge from the abdomen.

10
18 567 Suddenly, crying with rage, his beard wild behind him, Thorgard of Scagnar, a mighty foe, now armed, rushed upon the Forkbeard, who fended away the blow.
Details

18 593 It puzzled me that the Forkbeard had not yet struck the final blow.
Details
10
18 606 It would have been a simple blow.
