How to say the term "招" and "式" in English?

Question

It's used as a classifier, like this:

"亢龙有悔"是"降龙十八掌"中的*一招*.

and

*一招一式*他都记得清清楚楚.

So how to say it in English?

Answer 1

Generally it's called 'move'.

To be precise, 招 is 'move' and 式 is 'stance' or 'form'.

When it comes to a specific move, you can use words like catch (手 as in 擒拿手), hit (打), reach (长拳), kick (踢) etc.

一招一式他都记得清清楚楚。

Every move is imprinted on his mind.
