Konoha Academy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Image to come]
In this cute building right next to the Hokage's offices is the Konoha shinobi academy! This is where all of the cute little kids who will one day grow big and strong to protect our village start their careers, learning the basics of the art of the ninja. I know one day they'll turn out to be dangerous shinobis; but right now they're so darn cute you just want to give all of them a great big hug!
*ahem*
Oh... Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to one of the current academy instructors, Senju Mokujin!
Hello everyone!
All students of Konohagakure have to enroll in our establishment and pass the necessary qualification exams before they can even dream about being sent in the field. Here, they will learn to use ninjutsu, learn how to spar, and will be thought the basic skills of being a ninja. Once it is done, students are sent out in squads with jonin leaders as full fledged genin. Still, don't think of this as just some mandatory hassle, I can guarantee you there is a reason why these kids enter here children; and leave here shinobis!

Kumiuchi (Grappling)
Grabbing an opponent in combat is a basic taijutsu technique aimed at holding an opponent in place rather than causing to damage to them directly. Getting close to an opponent, the person intending to restrain the other must find a way to get his hands on them and lock them in place to prevent any movement. This allows the victim to be used as a human shield or facilitates any partner's attempts at attacking them. In order for the victim to break free, they must either find a way to wiggle free from the user's hold or overpower them to break it.

*While grappled, victim rolls a free grapple check (d20 + Strength Modifier + 2 per 10 in Taijutsu) per round against the grappler's grapple check to attempt to break free from the hold, and may use their attack turns to attempt Escape Artist checks against the Grapple check to break free.
*While grappling or grappled, victim and grappler lose the benefit of their Dexterity to their dodge rating and may not attack other people, block, or use techniques that require more than 1 attack turn (dice roll).
*While grappling, grappler can use attack turns to either attempt taijutsu or small weapon attacks against the grappled target, attempt to disarm them, or attempt to wrestle them to the ground, negating their wisdom modifier to their dodge rating until they break free or until the grappler attempts another grapple action.

Youdou (Feint)
A combat application of masking your true intention, a shinobi can perform a feint in combat intended to mislead an opponent. The user fakes an attack in one direction to force a reaction from the opponent by telegraphing false information through body language and then uses the confusion to strike from another direction. If done successfully, this technique can leave an opponent wide open for an attack, greatly reducing chances of dodging. One of the weaknesses of this technique comes form its dependance on the opponent's ability to read the user's movements, making it less effective against targets that have different body types or limited intelligence.

*-4 penalty to Innuendo check against non humanoid creatures. -8 penalty against creatures of animal intelligence. Impossible against creatures devoid of intelligence.
