Then what you're looking for, probably, is how to be balanced and flexible at the same time. Uncle van Zieks' body is very... controlled, have you noticed? Even if we're in full control of our body, it's like he's already mapped out how he's going to move at least three seconds ahead of time.

[That...actually makes him frown for a brief second, but he's back to a light smile right away.]
Stretch? Ah, yes. But how does one stretch a leg? I'm more of a right hook man, myself.
