<p>It's used as a classifier, like this:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"亢龙有悔"是"降龙十八掌"中的*<em>一招</em>*.</p>
</blockquote>

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.
