By channeling these dense chakras into certain parts of the body, the practitioner can deliver concentrated blows that deal an extreme amount of damage both externally and internally.

S t a g e O n e [1]
Shishi Ashi [ Lion Paw ]
Simple :: Rank E
An extremely basic striking technique. The user holds one hand in front of them with their palm opened and sideways. From here, they will simply execute a diagonal palm attack. Repeated contact with this blunt strike can cause trauma quicker than typical punches, however.

Tora no Kobushi [ Tiger Fists ]
Simple :: Rank: D
A simple volley of fast fists aimed at no particular sect of the enemy.

Ryū Kiba [ Dragon Fang ]
Simple :: Rank D
From a crouched position, taking aim and precision, the user leaps up and sends an uppercut to the jaw of the target, lifting them high into the air.

Gurīndesutinī [ Crouching Tiger ]
Simple :: Rank D
A simple parry and trip/punch counterattack, in which the user can stop a sequence of taijutsu or bukijutsu related attacks. Can only be used to parry one [1] attack in a sequence. ( In other words, either the beginning or the ending to a combo, or just a single attack. )

Gaō Tetsushi [ Roaring Iron Finger ]
Simple :: Rank: D
The user assumes a powerful stance, both legs tightened and slightly spread, both arms tucked to the side in fists. When the opportunity comes, the user will then thrust either hand's finger forward in a swift jab. This finger jab is strong enough to pierce the skin and cause serious contained injury- essentially like being stabbed by a short knife.

S t a g e T w o [2]
Soudou Shō [ Double Pulsating Palms ]
Simple :: Rank: D
A move that uses the palms and a stiff stance to transfer momentum from the practitioner to the opponent in one fierce action. With the legs spread slightly apart, and the arms tucked at the sides- palms out -the user will lean inward and perform a swift body blow with both hands. The impact is not extremely lethal, but is very capable of sending the target a good distance away.

Bibu no Mouko [ Tail of the Fierce Tiger ]
Simple :: Rank C
The user performs a very swift rotational sidestep on one foot, meanwhile lifting the other in order to land a sneaky whiplash blow on their target.

Fukumigoe no Sho-ro [ Cry of a Muffled Voice ]
Complex :: Rank C
An extension performed midway through Roaring Iron Finger.
While the finger is still piercing the target, the user will burst the chakra in their finger forward, forcing it to cause radial internal damage. If the user managed to strike at a vital location, this additional attack could easily end someone's life.

S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Uraate [ Backing ]
Training :: Rank C
The act of shifting chakra into a focused form, either surrounding or extended from a limb. Unlike most chakra gathering and focusing techniques, Uraate needs the chakra to be collected in a rotational force. By gathering the chakra while it is rotating, the practitioner forces it to extend from a limb in an aura. From here, the aura can be pressed as a powerful needle like piercing force with an additional motion.
Uraate can be used to make any "Simple" technique "Complex", thusly dealing more damage, but requiring chakra.
• Techniques powered up that are above rank C require an additional [10] chakra.

Unari o Diashi Tai [ Roar on Mount Tai ]
Complex :: Rank: C
A technique which makes use of Uraate control to release a bolt of chakra from a stiff-shoulder attack. The chakra bolt is roughly the same size as the shoulder and upper arm portion of the user.

Jūshichishiki Kandōka [ 17th Variation Piercing Bronze Flower ]
Simple :: Rank: B
A quick back wrist strike that is thrown twice with both hands. If used by a master of Xinyi Liuhe Quan, it can be very deadly- even going as far as to paralyze the target with just a single snap to the neck. Those without a speed rank lower than the user cannot see or react to the first strike.

Shin'dou, Ichiwa: Nyoro Hebi [ Heart and Mind, One Harmony: Slithering Serpent ]
Simple :: Rank B
From a focused position, the user anticipates an oncoming attack of speed and technique they can comprehend. After a successful parry or grab-block, the user will thrust their preferred/free hand into an exposed area of their target. Because it basically generates a weakness in the opponent, this is a very useful technique against other taijutsu users.

S t a g e F o u r [4]
Tategami no Shishi [ Mane of the Lion ]
Simple :: Rank C
The user assumes a stance where both hands are held out front, fingers curled in, yet palms revealed. From here, they will attempt to close the distance with their target in anyway possible, and then release a pair of powerful palm bashes in two different "forward-to-side" directions.

Shin'dou, Niwa: Hane no Karasu [ Heart and Mind, Two Harmonies: Wings of the Crow ]
Simple :: Rank B
Performed while the arms are at lower diagonal positions. The user will flatten both hands, and execute a very swift rising cross chop which is capable of breaking boulders thanks to its points of impact.

Shin'dou, Sanwa: Bateihouken [ Heart and Mind, Three Harmonies: Trampling Horse Fist ]
Complex :: Rank B
This technique is used by throwing a single punch from a position that resembles drawing an arrow to a bow. The knuckles of the first two fingers dig into the target's chest, sending waves of Uraate style chakra throughout the impact zone. When performed at maximum range (2 meters), the wave of chakra can be enough to send someone off their feet. When performed so that contact is actually made, the chakra can distort the cardiac order of the target.

Shin'dou no Heian [ Tranquility of Body and Mind ]
Simple :: Rank A
The user assumes a meditative state. While maintaining this concentrated state, they regenerate [10] chakra every post.

S t a g e F i v e [5]
Toumon Ketsu Hashisou [ Still Gate Collapsing, Cave Finger Strike ]
Simple :: Rank A
Using sheer strength and physical control, the user is capable of delivering a blow which breaks bones while leaving the external structure of the target intact. Rather than a powerful punch or chop, this technique is a pinpoint single-finger strike which ruptures bone structure in the contacted area.

Shin'dou, Shiwa: Kongoutaihou [ Heart and Mind, Four Harmonies: Tempered Body ]
Complex :: Rank A
The user concentrates a large amount of chakra, via Uraate, to a certain section of the body to make it become as hard as chakra forged steel ( roughly one limb per usage. ) This provides a momentary nearly indestructible defense ( negates heavy impact damage to the concentrated area. )
• For every usage after the first, this costs an additional [15] chakra.

Shin'dou, Gowa: Chuutetsu Ryu [ Heart and Mind, Five Harmonies: Cast Iron Dragon ]
Complex :: Rank A
Manipulating Uraate to a high degree, the user will gather circular-motion chakra into a single hand, generating a powerful aura which can be thrown off in a punching motion. This results in the powerful spinning chakra to act as a cannonball. It should also be noted that this projectile is able to take on elemental properties of the user.

S t a g e S i x [6]
Shin'dou, Muwa: Enten Tsuin Ryu Hira [ Body and Mind, Six Harmonies: Blazing Heat Twin Dragon Palm ]
Complex :: Rank S
A "perfected" version of the Heart and Mind, Five Harmonies: Cast Iron Dragon technique. Using the same principle as the fifth harmony, the user will generate chakra to both hands. However, rather than immediately casting off the technique, they will further add chakra and concentrate on speeding up the rotation ( 1 post of preparation. ) After additional preparations have been completed, the user will thrust both hands forward, releasing a pair of matching chakra torrents in the shape of serpent-like dragons. It should also be noted that these projectiles are able to take on elemental properties of the user.

Ryuhari Funzento no Arashi [ Dragon Needle in a Storm of Rage ]
Complex :: Rank S
A single needle is produced via the Uraate technique. This needle of swirling and cloudy chakra is held between the index and middle fingers' knuckles. This needle is then jammed into the target by a simple punch. From here, the needle will sink into the target, locking itself into position. After a short amount of time ( 2nd post ), the needle will send chakra all throughout the target, causing severe muscle cramps and ultimately crippling them. As time goes on ( 4th post ), the needle's chakra feed will increase, causing waves of pain to overcome the target. As the technique comes to an end ( 7th post ), the pain will be so severe that the afflicted will actually be more willing to take their own life rather than deal with the horrid amount of internal suffering.
