Techniques & Abilities
Bob uses the Brazilian style of martial arts, Capoeira (pronounced ka-po-ei-rah). Capoeira is dance-based as the slaves in Brazil weren't allowed to practice martial arts and disguised it as a dance. Capoeira moves strongly resemble break-dancing. Bob has also displayed some sign of above average or even superhuman strength when he and Masataka Takayanagi both kicked over a car belonging to Mitsuomi's guards. Maya has stated that Bob is the most powerful in the entire group, physically, but lacked the caliber to make him stronger than herself or Masataka. After the fight with Madoka, where he discovered his Rhythm ability, it is uncertain if Bob ever grasped the concept of training his weaknesses instead of his strengths, otherwise known as "1st Eyes, 2nd Feet, 3rd Courage, 4th Power"

Famous quotes containing the words techniques and/or abilities:
“It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“One never gets to know a person’s character better than by watching his behavior during decisive moments.... It is always only danger which forces the most deeply hidden strengths and abilities of a human being to come forth.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
