The main reason I've added stuff like this is to show that he had mastered "Stage of Ri" would essentially illustrate his current level of ability, whereas the prior two stages show the foundation of what he had learned and developed in the process of becoming a "Hakuda Master". Most of your examples show a pair between two types of martial art methods, one obviously being the superior one, but would he had mastered Muken straight off the bat? Would that have been the first thing he ever mastered? Or would he have mastered the component physical methods, which clearly, after the acquirement of Muken, become obsolete in actual combat use.

It does seem redundant when you look at it in that way, I agree, but at the same time, in my... I guess, rather weird way of thinking, it reads more of like a "history" or "timeline" of skills and abilities in the Hakuda field that properly demonstrates why he stands as the foremost Hakuda Grandmaster. Would there be any possible way for me to rewrite things in a way that doesn't require me to remove all of the current redundant things, but at the same time, makes the Hakuda section not seem like such a strange mix of abilities?
