Decisive Strikes
Rank: D
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Decisive Strikes is a blunt weapon based fighting style designed for quick one off swings meant to stun or otherwise disorientate their targets. The style typically uses practice swords, but real weapons can be used in their place if the user is looking to kill.

Decisive Strikes: Deflection
Rank: D
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Deflection is as simple as it sounds. A defensive maneuver that allows the user to deflect all incoming physical based attacks with their weapon. Taking a guarded stance with their blade in front of them, the user relinquishes all their mobility in favor of blocking and deflecting attacks rather than dodging or attacking.

Decisive Strikes: Facade
Rank: C
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Facade is one of Decisive strikes deceiving moves. The user takes an aggressive step forwards, swinging their blade from the side as if they intend to cleave their opponents mid section. Mid slice, the user would stop and re-position the back of their weapon to put it on their wrist and perform a stab, generally aimed for the throat.

Decisive Strikes: Concussive Blow
Rank: C
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Concussive Blow is a relatively simple, yet effective attack. This attack requires the user to stand still and wait for the right moment to strike. The user typically stands with the sword at the side, by assuming a stance that seems rather unguarded or non-threatening they achieve the ability of being able to swing very quickly and unpredictably. The strike is aimed for the head, typically the ear or the base of the skull. The strike is not meant to kill, but to completely disrupt the enemy's senses.

Decisive Strikes: Oppression
Rank: B
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Oppression is a counter strike meant to completely disable a part of the body. The user lifts their sword up and takes a standing still defensive position, similar to that of Deflection. While in this stance, the user waits for a close range physical attack. They quickly respond by knocking away the attack with their weapon and in the same motion, strike a joint of the body with such great force that it stuns that part of the body for a short period of time.

Decisive Strikes: Shutdown
Rank: B
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: One of the only set of consecutive attacks within the Decisive Strikes combat style, Shutdown is essentially extremely quick precise with three targeted stabs. The user raises their weapon up above their shoulders with both hands and holds it horizontally and parallel to their face. Then with three quick stabs, the user hits the left lung, the right lung, and the heart. This causes difficulty in breathing and can even force the heart to skip a beat resulting in enemies blacking out for half a second and leaving them open to another attack.

Decisive Strikes: Onslaught
Rank: A
Type: Kenjutsu
Range: 0
Description: Onslaught is one of the only set of consecutive strikes within the Decisive Strikes combat style. While pressing forward the user sends their first attack, a horizontal slash, at the midsection of the enemy. This then leads into the user taking a step forward and slamming the rest of the weapon into the enemy's gut. From there the weapon is then brought straight up and hits the bottom of the enemy's jaw. Finally the user then steps forward and smacks the enemy in the throat with the side of the weapon while also throwing the enemy away.
