Gath took a breath and let it out as he formed his words carefully, "I understand that some topics of training can be a personal matter for Vulcans, so I mean to offense, but my question is of a professional nature. Most of the Vulcans I have known in the Security field are practitioners of martial arts. There is the Kariil-ifla, which is based on a quick and direct attack means of neutralizing a situation. There is the Ponn-ifla, which is more of an avoidance method, using blocks, throws and joint locks. There is also the famous but highly difficult art of Taroon-ifla, which uses the pressure points and nerve attack points, such as the nerve pinch that many misunderstand and very few can perform well. If you were a practitioner of the last one, you would know that a highly skilled user would know how to evaluate the nervous system of an opponent to apply such non-lethal methods, should the need arise. I am asking if you might be able to provide such an evaluation."
Gath had kept his voice more conversational, making a point of not announcing to others what he was asking of Baldwin. He politely left the question open for Baldwin to avoid openly stating if she was or was not a practitioner of the art. Gath allowed her the option to discuss it or not, but that he was aware of such things. In any case, he waited to see how she would reply to his inquiry.
