Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chisokuken [Speeding Fist)]

This Taijutsu style was originally developed by a Taijutsu Sensei of Kumogakure. Using lightning as a natural village element, he inspired on its magnificence to create a style that blended the energy and speed that is possible of the body to create a taijutsu style capable of fighting at extremes that rivaled the fury of the heavens.


Name: Kitai [Anticipation]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: D
Orientation: Defensive
Cost:
Effects: The user will focus on an opponent, watching closely for any movements. Their bodies reactions will increase as long as they remain motionless, allowing them to respond quicker to attacks. This cannot be used to make attacks faster, though this move may aid in finding an opening. This jutsu cannot be used immediately, and must be used one turn before gaining the benefits.

Name: Taren-Ken [Multi-Punch)]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: D
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The ninja will release a barrage of fist blow, seeking not to strike as hard as possible but rather as much as possible, each strike weak on its own but together a powerful flurry.

Name: Taren-Kikku [Multi-Kick]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: D
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The ninja will release a barrage of kicks, seeking not to strike as hard as possible but rather as much as possible, each strike weak on its own but together a powerful flurry.

Name: Kūtenryu [Racing Charge]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: C
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The ninja will gather chakra into their legs in order to blast forward at a target, running like a bolt of lightning directly at a foe, hoping like a bullet to ram into them. Their speed adding to the collision, but makes this a difficult move to control and nearly impossible to turn with.

Name: Tadayō [Drift]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Defensive
Rank: C
Orientation: Defensive
Cost:
Effects: The Shinobi, like with Kūtenryu, will draw chakra into their legs. This time, however, it will be released in short controlled bursts, enhancing their speed in order to weave back, forward, and side-to-side. This will allow the ninja to make their way through groups of foes, dodge as barrage of projectiles, and defend against simultaneous attacks. May be maintained for two chakra instead of one per turn.

Name: Bōsekitade [Spinning Heavy Blow]
Type:
Sub-type:
Rank: C
Orientation: Offensive, Defensive
Cost:
Effects: A technique in which the user will rotate their body at high speeds, releasing punches and kicks at anyone near them. Foes nearby will be caught off-guard by the sudden rotating blows, enhanced by the momentum caused by spinning. This technique is useful for facing groups.

Name: Kiwamaruiki [Extreme Acceleration]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: B
Orientation: Supplementary
Cost:
Effects: This taijutsu breaks the limits of the user's speed, enhancing their reflexes and mobility to extremes. This high increase in their agility will allow them not only to run fast but beyond the point where normal perception may keep up with them, allowing the user to essentially surround the enemy, moving from place to place in a blink of an eye striking from any point. However, as grand as this technique is, it is also extremely tiring, requiring a three chakra maintaining cost instead of one point.


Name: Bōsekifūsha [Spinning Windmill]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: B
Orientation: Offensive, Defensive
Cost:
Effects: Similar to Bōsekitade, Bōsekifūsha is utilized in the air. The user will be launched into the air, for whatever reason, and began to cartwheel in mid-air. Moving faster and faster, this exponential increase will cause them to become deadly rotating blade that will then fling itself at an opponent.

Name: Zanzō [Afterimage]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: B
Orientation: Supplementary
Cost:
Effects: A taijutsu that allows one to produce a "Copy" which mimics the user's movements, created by the speed that allows one to move their body at such a rate in which it seems like they are in two places. This image will be manipulated in accordance with the original's movements. Thus, moving to point A and then to B, their will appear to two ninjas at both points. And because the user moves at such a speed that it is difficult to observe, foes will be unable to easily tell the real one. The afterimage will be destroyed if touched, but will regenerate moments later. This jutsu must be utilized with either Kiwamaruiki, Tadayō, or similar jutsus. This technique does not require a maintaining cost. This technique ends when the jutsu required for it does.


Name: Rakurainiau [Struck by Lightning]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Chisokuken
Rank: A
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: This jutsu is not complicated- The Ōgi of the Chisokuken-ryu, Rakurainiau simulates the speed of a lightning bolt, gathering an immense amount of chakra around their body to fling themselves at an opponent, be they below, above, or level. This sudden abrupt movement seems to defy the very concept of friction, with the user aiming at a central point, such as the head, heart, stomach- Perhaps even the groin. Regardless of the target, the user will race beyond natural speed to strike them with a single attack- a two finger strike, resembling Jyuken, upon a foe which will take all the gathered force.

A style that came from the village hidden in the leaves, Strong Fist is an all-around style that consists of powerful leg hits coupled with rushing a foe, using the momentum gained by attacks to overwhelm foes. Carrying Konoha Spirit, fighters with the Gōken style are despised by others for their relentless combos and adaptive nature, for this style was based on a simple idea. Working hard.

Name: Dainamikku Entorii [Dynamic Entry]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: D
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The user springs at an enemy at high speeds, striking with a lightning fast kick. Best used at an enemy's blindside, giving them little chance to respond.

Name: Dainamikku Akushon [Dynamic Action]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: D
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The user will leap forward at an enemy and begin releasing a combination of quick, hard-hitting punches. Like Dynamic Entry, it gives little change for an enemy to react.

Name: Senpū [Leaf Whirlwind]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: D
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: This user will spring forward at an opponent, rotating their body in mid-air to perform a round-house kick. This attack utilizes to momentum of gravity and spinning to give surprise their enemy with a powerful kick.

Name: Reppu [Violent Leaf Whirlwind)]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: D
Orientation: Defensive
Cost:
Effects: A counterattack in which the ninja uses a low spinning kick on the ankles to make its enemy fall while they are running, using their momentum against their opponent.

Name: Shōfū [Leaf Rising Wind]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: C
Orientation: Offensive, Defensive
Cost:
Effects: The user will duck to the ground beneath an opponent, typically in response to an opponent's own attack or taking advantage when they are distracted. They will spring upward releasing a powerful kick, typically enough to launch an enemy into the air.

Name: Dai Senpū [Great Leaf Whirlwind]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: C
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: This jutsu is the evolution of the Senpū, in which the user performs an even more furious 360º kick that moves at insane speed, making it faster then Senpū and better served to react to enemies.

Name: Konoha Kage Buyō [Leaf Shadow Dance]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: C
Orientation: Supplementary
Cost:
Effects: A technique often used after Shōfū, the user will move at high speeds below an opponent as they're in the air, as if becoming their shadow. Because the move is used so quickly after the enemy is launched into the air, it gives them almost no time to counter, allowing the user to proceed to strike with ease.

Name: Gōriki Senpū [Leaf Strong Whirlwind]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: B
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The final evolution of Senpū, the user will rotate even more furiously by gathering chakra into their limbs before striking, making the spinning blows not only lightning fast but packing quite a bunch. An ideal move against multiple enemies.

Name: Konoha Raiken [Leaf Thunderfist]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: B
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The user will use this while in mid-air, beginning to spin at high speeds in order to obtain a furious momentum before driving down upon an enemy with a rotating fist.

Name: Seishun Furu Pawā [Springtime of Youth Full Power]
Type: Taijutsu
Sub-type: Gōken
Rank: A
Orientation: Offensive
Cost:
Effects: The user will let out a grand battle cry of joy before performing a full frontal assault on an enemy. Typically begun with Shōfuu, the user will rise above an enemy in mid-air and gather a large quantity of chakra to their leg, raising upward before releasing it in a downward kick, which will send an enemy crushing to the ground in a great flash of light, making it a powerful attack.

Kyuuten no Kumori (Shadow of the Heavens)

Description:
Around the time that shinobi began to gather at the place that is now known as Konohagakure, several similar styles of fighting came together to form a coherent fighting system. This style, known as Kyuuten no Kumori (Shadow of the Heavens), invokes the powerful combos that can be created within the air itself. The style itself is not very fluid, but rather involves more of the surprise of a sudden aerial strike, keeping the opponent confused and disoriented.

___Notes:
• Practitioners cannot be of heavy body frames.

___S t a g e O n e [1]
Wall Scaling Technique
Complex :: Rank E
The user runs at a wall or other vertical, flat, surface and uses a small amount of chakra to jump up a few feet, then uses a small amount more to propel themselves up the rest of the wall (typically 1 story). More chakra increases the height of the building that one can scale.
• 1 additional story at the cost of more chakra for each story

Fall Breaker
Complex :: Rank E
Allows the user to break falls by sending chakra through the area that is going to absorb the attack. Overuse (typically more than 2 uses in a row) causes internal pain to build up in the afflicted area. More chakra increases the height of the blow that can be absorbed.
• 1 additional story at the cost of more chakra for each story

___S t a g e T w o [2]
Flying Kick
Simple :: Rank D
The user jumps off of the ground or some elevated structure and angles his or herself toward their opponent, attacking with an outstretched leg.

Flying Tackle
Simple :: Rank D
The user jumps off of the ground or some elevated structure, and angles his or herself toward their opponent, attacking with a flexed shoulder.

Double Jump
Complex :: Rank D
By pushing chakra from their feet, the user will burst themself upward, acting as a mid-air jump.
• Can only be used once per jump.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Wall Run
Simple :: Rank C
The user runs almost parallel to a wall, stepping up on to it once they have reached nearly their full speed. The momentum of their run allows them to run in a large arc along the wall without using chakra, allowing the user to traverse large gaps with ease.

Air Disperse
Complex :: Rank C
By shifting the form of the air with a chakra lined limb, or some other tool, the user breaks the fluidity of many techniques that require air or oxygen. (Sound, Minor Flames, Etc.)
• Cannot be used continuously.

Area Disruption
Complex :: Rank C
By using the sound generated by another object as a decoy, the ninja will use their chakra to mimic the same noise, and make it seem as though it came from the same direction. Although a useful technique, being even slightly off in timing utterly ruins the technique's prowess.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]
Angled Dive
Simple :: Rank B
The user will perfectly manipulate falling momentum to further increase their drop speed. A simple kick, punch, or tackle, is made lethal by this simple adjustment.

Tunnel Sound
Complex :: Rank B
By manipulating the flow of the air with a quick chop of the hand, the user will change the origin of any noise they choose.

Triple Jump
Complex :: Rank B
An extension to [Double Jump].
The user will mimic the same method, however this can be used after the second jump.
• Can only be used once per jump.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Needle Distraction
Complex :: Rank A
A senbon needle is thrown, the user deliberately attempting to miss so that the needle will stick into something. As the clang of the needle dims, the user is simultaneously adjusting themselves to a comfortable, hidden, and silent position. When the user believes it appropriate, they will trigger a sound to radiate from the previously thrown senbon. This noise can be absolutely anything, and will likely be something loud to throw the opponent's attention.

Wall Squirrel
Complex :: Rank A
During [ Wall Run ] the user will send an additional surge of chakra through their legs. So long as they are attached to this wall, and chakra runs through their legs, the user runs at an increased speed, and never loses traction with the wall (or elevated surface).
• This technique doesn't require much chakra.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Heaven Dropping Array
Simple :: Rank S
The user will again perfectly manipulate falling momentum to their advantage. This time, however, they will do so in an attempt to capture their opponent in an absurdly swift and hasty attack.
Punches, kicks, slashes, the whole arsenal is unleashed in a brief moment.
The only drawback is the amount of pressure this barrage puts on the user's limbs.
• Can only be used once per battle without incredible recoil damage.

Seikon biggrin runken Fist

Description:
Some would think that Drunken Fist isn't a literal term, that this style merely mimics the nature of a stumbling drunkard and uses that to remain unpredictable and fluid. Well, they are WRONG. You, the chosen few, will be imitating the movements of a drunkard to gain the fluidity and unpredictability, but you will be doing so WHILE DRUNK! Suiken is the style of future alcoholics, as well as future badasses. The practitioners are graceful, unpredictable, and fluid beyond understanding, all from first watching the drunken movements of their masters, then by emulating and finally, partaking of the sauce and becoming masters themselves. These masters are combat pragmatists, no move being too dirty or dishonorable. After all, when you're a drunken wretch, how much honor can you possibly have? When you're a numb, graceful wreck, they'll laugh... Only until you crack a brew and beat them to death with it.

___Notes:
• Practitioners are fluid in their movements, moving with a natural grace and elegance. This comes from a lot of training and drinking, although to everyone else they look like they're stumbling around.
• Practitioners need a container for their alcohol. It can be anything, from a gourd, flask, wine skin, or what have you. They must keep it on them at all times.
• Suiken contains various techniques branded with the type "Training." When these techniques are learned, they become passive benefits for the practitioner.
• "Training" techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank.

___S t a g e O n e [1]
Drunken Dancing
Training :: Rank E
The first move one will learn in this style, it is nonetheless the most important. Drunken dancing is simply that: moving around, be it stumbling or the Tango, as if you're drunk. It prepares the neophyte, really, and can really add some flair to whatever situation is at hand. This is the most basic move in the arsenal of a Suiken master, but the most important.
• Required to learn before moving on to other techniques.

Drunk Dropper
Simple ::Rank E
A simple combo, normally learned after the Drunk Dance. The user simple belts out a quick one-two combo, but this combo isn't specific in what is involved in the one-two combo. Rather, it allows the student to learn and adapt that unpredictable nature this style is famed for. In the hands of a novice, a stepping stone, but in the hands of a master this is a useful teaching method, if not a useful combo.

Fallen Drunk
Simple :: Rank E
The fallen drunk is ground-fighting, simply put. It's ground-fighting for the drunken master, however. The user practices fighting while knocked down, whether they're on all fours or flat on the back, if they aren't standing up then they're on the ground. The user will practice basic spastic strikes, a common staple of the style, in an attempt to keep the opponent from gaining an edge. There's no move that's off-limits. Throwing sand, biting, gouging, groin kicks, anything goes.

___S t a g e T w o [2]
Headbutt
Simple :: Rank D
A simple, if useful, technique. Can be used at any time, really. The user is most likely under the influence, or this would be pretty painful. Any way, it's a simple headbutt. The kicker is that, while the user is probably under the influence and thus dulled to pain, the victim is most certainly not. Used for disorienting an opponent, but it can kill with enough force. If you somehow include a kunai on your head, you're a mad genius. Using chakra is possible, in lieu of alcoholic numbness
• Disorientation for the opponent lasts one post, as well as the user if not protected.
• If chakra is used in stead of alcohol, this technique is slightly more powerful, but because complex.

Crazy Legs
Training :: Rank D
The user simply focuses on fluidity, movement and simple attack routines. From now on, the user's movement is a bit more graceful and liquid.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Slapfest
Complex :: Rank C
Kind of an infuriating technique, to be honest. The user pumps chakra into their palms and goes to town on whoever they're fighting. Normally, this would be nothing but an annoyance, but with the chakra in the hands these blows have the tendency to rip skin of of wherever they hit. It's the first real, deadly technique. Just be careful not to slap yourself!
• Requires alcohol.
• Lasts as long as the user pumps chakra into their hands.

Drunken Counterblow
Simple :: Rank C
The user takes a stance resembling that of a Muay Thai fighter. Every attack thrown at them has the ability to be countered from this stance, with either a quick snap kick or any combination of punches. Takes timing and training, but useful once mastered.
• Requires Alcohol.
• Can only counter blows that the user can track.

Jazz Hands
Training :: Rank C
As with Crazy Legs, Jazz Hands is meant to increase the fluidity and speed of the practitioners hand movements.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]
Rancid Breath
Complex :: Rank B
A distraction technique, all in all. The user, after chugging a bit of whatever drink they have, focuses some chakra into the mouth and turns that normal bad-breath into straight foul territory. Then they simply breath on the enemy. Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and cotton mouth are all possible outcomes... Immediate vomiting is the most common, however.
• Requires alcohol.

Drunken Deception
Simple :: Rank B
A deceptive move, it requires a lot of cheating. Normally, the user will throw sand in the face of the enemy and use the momentary respite as a chance to attack, but anything will do. Usually opens the enemy up for a nasty combo.
• Requires alcohol and an object such as sand, flowers, smoke pellets, etc.

Influenced Battle Dancer
Complex :: Rank B
Dance Battler requires a good amount of alcohol, and it's the last step from student to master. After imbibing the sauce, the user harnesses all that raw potential and training so far and melds it into an unpredictable dance of death. Punches and kicks hit harder, the user moves faster, and moves in ways previously thought impossible. The user in numb to feeling of any kind.
• Requires alcohol.
• Lasts [10] posts.

Drunken Tango
Training :: Rank B
Just like Crazy Legs and Jazz Hands, this is another passive training technique. This time, the user trains their entire body for the coming techniques. It's all for grace and power. Stamina and reflexes are increased.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Belly Slam
Complex :: Rank A
The user begins by pumping chakra to the legs and jumping into the air; any height will do. Then, the user focuses that chakra into their entire body and becomes dense, very very dense and heavy. One could call them almost diamond-like. Then they drop, belly-first, onto whatever they want with all the power they can muster.
In conjunction with a wind jutsu to propel them forward, this can create medium-sized craters. A deadly, if ridiculous, technique.
• Hardened state passes as you make contact with a surface.

Dead Drunk Sweep Combo
Complex :: A
The user pumps themselves full of chakra, and performs what seems to be a simple leg sweep. Then, once the opponent is swept off of their feet, the user explodes into motion and quickly delivers a kick to the solar plexus, knocking them into the ground with enough force to, if not knock them unconscious, than at least knock the wind out of them. While on the ground, the user proceeds to stomp the victim's face into the floor with enough power to turn that hairline fracture into a full-on broken face. Not a very kind technique.
It should be noted that if the sweep is successful, the rest should fall into place easily.
• Requires alcohol.

Dead Drunk Fisticuffs Counter
Complex :: A
Just like the Drunken Sweep, this technique works on the same principal; with a few twists. The user grabs the arm of an opponent, blocking whatever blow they would have landed, and proceeds to whale on the victim with impunity. Mainly, this starts with a jab to the throat. Once that is done, and the victim is gasping for breath, the user drops the held hand/arm/leg and goes to town on the body and head of the enemy. With chakra pumping through their arms, the user is hitting much harder than normal. Easily a killing move, or, with some self retrains, a fight-ender.
It should be noted that if the throat jab is successful, the rest should fall into place easily.
• Requires alcohol.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Alcoholic Mist
Complex :: Rank S
The master of this style wants to share the booze with everyone, even the enemy. By turning their chakra into sweet, sweet liquor, the user excretes a drunken aura. The color corresponding to their chakra color. Every exhale made by the user forms a sickly sweet smelling booze cloud, the size of the user's torso, and the color of their aura.
• Requires alcohol.
• Exposed for 1 post: Tipsy.
• Exposed for 3 posts: Drunk.
• Exposed for 5 posts: Blacks most people out.

Scotch Slammer
Complex :: Rank S
It begins as a simple grapple, but the user suddenly shifts into a full nelson and lifts the enemy of the ground and slams them back down with frightening speed and strength. All but guaranteed to break the neck, arms, spine and possibly the ribcage, resulting in nasty, debilitating and possibly permanent damage should the victim survivre. All through the technique, the user is pumped full of chakra and drunk as a skunk. They don't feel a thing, and the chakra also works to release the mental blocks on muscles, so the user is utilizing their complete, full strength. The penultimate move in any Suiken masters' arsenal.
• Requires alcohol.
• After used, practitioner is exhausted and nigh useless on the battle field.

Enlightened Drunkenness
Training :: Rank S
Difficult, yet for the Master Drunk, essential. The practitioner of this style is able to, once true drunken enlightenment and zen-like status have been bestowed upon him/her, induce a perpetual drunken or tipsy state by sheer force of will~
• Techniques no longer require alcohol to perform.

Reikō Resshūken

Description: The Reikō Resshūken is an elegant fighting style, which utilizes one's speed, strength, and chakra control. It is considered to be the strongest, most-elegant, style in existence. It relies on fast footwork and focuses on fending off all of the enemies' attacks with the arms while using the legs to counterattack with powerful kicks. By adding chakra to this style. There are three levels to master within this style, once completely mastered, simple hand to hand combat, and sword strikes become ineffective


Stage One: E-Ranked

Description: In the first stage of the Reikō Resshūken, the pupil trains the speed of his/her reflexes to be able to react, before the mind has time to process a thought. This gives the pupil the ability to counter attacks almost instantly using only instinct. The point of this is to make it near impossible to catch the user off guard. In the first stage, the user is also training the strength & speed of their upper body, making it easier to parry, or deflect oncoming strikes, leaving a wide opening for a devastating counter strike. When using stage 1, the user is also able to inflict damage upon a target through their block, causing the targets limbs to go numb. Speed is increased beyond average for their rank.


Abilities: Beginning athletic build, beginning conditioned striking surfaces.
Graduation Requirements: Train a physical training/conditioning regiment and practice the techniques for 5 posts (conditioning and techniques in same post). Physical training will include stretching(1), running(2), pushups(3), squats(4), and situps(5).
Techniques:

○ Hensa [ Deflection ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This is a simple technique in which the user will simply deflect oncoming taijutsu strikes, though of course only if their opponent is at their rank. The user will use their; hand's, forearm's, elbow's, knee's, and shins to divert the oncoming strikes direction to avoid damage, while also leaving the target completely open for a counter strike.

○ Mukankaku Tentou [ Numbing Counter ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This is yet another simple technique in which the user will block using their; forearm's, elbow's, knee's, and shins to block. Upon making contact with the opponents strike, the user can inflict numbing damage to the limb being used to attack by the target. If not medically treated within 3 post's, the target will lose use of that limb for the remainder of the fight

○ Se Undoushinkei [ Torrent Reflexes ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This is the most powerful maneuver in stage 1 of this style, in which the user's body will gain a blinding burst of speed; making hand to hand strikes, swordplay strikes, and projectile attacks almost ineffective. If Stage 2 of this style isn't mastered, then one cannot attack while in this state.
○ Genin - 4 post | 4 time per fight
○ Chunin - 8 posts | 8 times per fight
○ Advanced Chunin | Jounin - 12 posts | 12 times per fight
○ Kage | Sanin - 16 posts | 16 times per fight


Stage Two: D-Ranked

Description: In the second stage of the Reikō Resshūken, the pupil is taught to posses what is known as 'fluid' movement. Meaning now they are training to be able to not only block and evade, but to also deliver severe strikes with swift fluid and flawless motions in response to their opponents attack. When training in stage two of this taijutsu style, strength is increased drastically, leaving the user the ability to shatter bones with a successful strike.

Speed is also increased, making it hard for anyone that isn't taijutsu class to simply dodge, once they are countered and left open for attack. Stage two of this style was created to break guards, meaning that simply trying to block a strike from a Reikō Resshūken user, with anything other than; a special blade, or defensive jutsu, will result in severely broken bones for the target.

Once this stage is mastered, the user is able to create afterimage clones using pure speed. Though they cannot physically harm an opponent, they serve as a great distraction. Speed and strength are above average for a ninja of their rank.

Abilities: Faster and more fluid movements as well as much better athletic build and striking power.
Graduation Requirements: The user needs to train for 5 posts doing another physical regiment as well as learn the new techniques. The physical regiment is ballistic stretching(1), Weight running(2), clap pushups(3),and jumping squats(4)

Techniques:
○ Yanagi Tsuppari [ Willow Thrust ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This technique was created to follow up some of the technique's from stage 1, creating a two movement combo. The user will either block or deflect an oncoming strike, leaving the target wide open, in which the user will then spin in the opposite direction [ counter clockwise ], and deliver either a devastating elbow, or shin kick to the targets temple. This strike is capable of cracking skulls upon impact.

○ Yanagi Muchuu [ Willow Stun ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This technique was created to follow up some of the technique's from stage 1, creating a three movement combo. The user will either block or deflect an oncoming attack, leaving the opponent wide open, upon which the user will swiftly turn into a leg sweep which will leave the target slightly air born. The user will then move their right leg above the falling target, and bring it down with impressive force taking the opponent to the ground. This will leave the opponent stunned and unable to move for a count of 2 post's. You must allow 1 counter/dodge post before completing this technique.

○ Butou Yanagi [ Dancing Willow ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This technique was created to follow up the Se Undoushinkei [ Torrent Reflexes ]. Once the special technique from stage 1 is in effect, the user is now also able to deliver strikes; with extreme precision, blinding speed, and impressive force as if preforming an elegant dance, while still swiftly evading. Each strike capable of breaking guards, and shattering bones.


Stage Three: C-Ranked

Description: In the third and supposed FINAL stage of the Reikō Resshūken, the pupil is taught chakra & weight manipulation/control. Meaning that now the user is training to be able to adjust the weight of the limb being used to strike using chakra & chakra manipulation/control. Thus drastically enhancing the strength of the strike, while still maintaining its blinding speed.

The user can adjust the weight of a strike from that of normal, to a max of 1 ton. Speed is maintained as the user will preform an attack, then seconds before the strike is set to land, the user will then adjust the weight of the limb to that of 1 ton [ any weight between normal & 1 ton ] using pure chakra. Then by readjusting the weight [ chakra ] to normal, the user can maintain both speed & balance.

A element can now also be infused into a strike to enhance its strength or effect. Users of the Reikō Resshūken, can also attack the joints within the body using chakra, causing them to shut down with each one hit. Stage 3 of the Reiko Resshuken only consumes chakra if the technique hits the opponent. Strength is above average for a ninja of their rank.

Abilities: Flashy speed, improved powerful punches, hard to pass defense.

Graduation Requirements: The user will still practice a physical regiment, but this MAY BE the last time they will do it. They will run while carrying boulder over their head(1), use same boulder and do clap pushups(2), hold the boulder above them for jumping squats(3), hold boulder while doing hanging situps(4), kick boulder with shin non stop until it shatters(5)

Techniques:
○ Assai Shindou [ Crushing Impact ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. The user will slam both their fists into the ground, as a cloud of dirt and dust/debris will rise from the ground. Then through the cloud of dirt/debris the user will appear before the opponent with blinding speed, adjusting the weight of his/her knee drowning it with chakra, before then slamming his/her knee into the targets chin sending them into the air [ cannot auto-hit ]. Once the opponent is in the air the user will then appear above the target, bringing both his/her fists above their head, before then striking the opponent to the ground capable of leaving a crack in cement. The user will then finish the combo by landing on the targets chest or back, as the ground beneath the target is obliterated under the force, this technique will leave the target on the verge of death if no armor, or defensive jutsu is used to lesson the impact. If the initial knee connects, there is no stopping the rest of the combo, unless a defensive jutsu above B-rank is being used [ Defenses must be pre-activated ]

○ Sugi-zou Rasshu [ Afterimage Rush ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. The user will take stance, while coding their feet with chakra, adding more speed to their already advanced speed. Then in a blinding burst of speed, will lunge forward toward the opponent. Then seemingly vanishing, five afterimage clones will appear, surrounding the target each preforming an attack, one after another. The attacks coming from the afterimage clones are harmless, mainly meant to confuse the target, as each strike will fade out just before impact. The real user will appear simultaneously above the target, while adjusting the weight of his/her leg to 1 ton, before then slamming their calf into the targets head with unforgiving force. Due to the speed, and confusion of the attack it is extremely difficult to dodge unless the opponent possesses a Doujutsu. This technique is capable of permanently damaging a target.

○ Tsugime Gentai [ Joint Failure ]
Description: This is a technique unique only to shinobi, that use the Reikō Resshūken. This is the final, and most powerful technique within stage 3. The user will code their index and middle finger with chakra, then strike one of the targets joint's. With each joint hit, the target losses all control in that limb for the remainder of the fight unless medical treatment is gained.


Stage Four: B-Ranked

Description: Now the user has decided to expand on the style. The user has been in great physical shape and understand how to maintain it, they can more focus on the finer points of the art. This stage is used to develop the defensive part of this style meaning they greatly improve speed and accuracy of strikes. Also, they are introduced to and begin practicing some of the onorthodox strikes and movements.

Abilities: Greatly improved speed, timing, and smooth defensive parries.

Graduation Requirements: For 5 posts the user goes through a forest and every time they touch a branch they throw a kick to the trunk, being whatever kick is available to it at the time. They use their speed to imitate the oncoming branches as punches as to practice their parries and counter attacks. For at least 2 of the times, they have to use a spinning side kick.

Techniques:
○ Spinning side kick
Description: This kick involves their knowledge of shifting, moving, and mechanics making a versitle as well as powerful kick. A spinning version of the side kick, it adds to the power and speed to the strike making one that is difficult to block.

○ Hook Kick
Description: This is a move that is easy to hide as its chamber looks just like the side kick. Instead of shifting a direct line into the opponent, the user hooks and swings their hips (almost a backwards round kick) and brings their heel around to connect with a powerful whip like kick to a weak point of the opponent.

○ Punching Fissure Barrage:
Description: The user punches now look like cobra strikes and can quickly and effectively deliver 3 punches in a second. The best part of this skill as it does not ruin the flow of the styles kicks.

Description: The user has now gotten so accustomed to their movements that there is no real stance to this style anymore. They can user whatever they need to get their techniques to work.

○ Spinning Hook Kick
Description: The user can now use the spinning motion associated with the hook kick. Just like last time, the chamber looks the exact same as a spinning side kick making this kick too easy to hide. Also with the added momentum, the kick is very powerful.

○ Jumping Techniques
Description: The user is now comfortable enough with all the previous techniques to utilize them while jumping to either close the distance or just change it up on the opponent. Little to no power change happens due to their understanding of mechanics.


Stage Six: A-Ranked

Description: The user can now put their understanding of mechanics and motion into practice almost at a whim. Also, their body is hardened enough and muscles loose enough that their movements are fast ballistic snaps that are hard to defend against. The power obtained during this stage makes them a very dangerous foe for people especially those untrained. This stage practices on the body binding and off balancing of the opponent to make their strikes really hit home.

Abilities: Improved reflexis and timing, speed is more refined as well as a slight increase in power.

Graduation Requirements: User needs to use every previous technique twice on a tree, and every technique in this stage 3 times. Then the user needs to spar someone for 15 posts.

Techniques:
○ Fissure Kick Status
Description: The users techniques are now officially called Fissure kicks. They are fast and powerful and most opponents hate defending against them much less getting hit by them.

○ Fissure Kick Combo:
Description: In almost a blink of an eye, the user throws a front punch, back punch, back straight knee, a front hook punch quickly followed by a front round kick, a back punch quickly followed by a back leg fissure round kick.

It is used mostly when an opponent is on the ground, or to try to drop the opponents hands with a powerful kick to a nerve or muscles.


Stage Seven: S-Ranked

Description: The users body is now a model of strong, wirey muscle. The user is in excellent shape and can now fight many opponents for long periods of time. Their techniques make people want to cry, pass out, or wish for death. The opponent feels as if the users techniques literally cut them in half, making the name “Fissure” a reality. Their techniques are near blurs and very difficult to defend against.

Abilities: near unmatched fluidity and timing, fissure causing strikes.

Graduation Requirements: The user needs to do 20 posts of intense physical training, 10 posts of jumping through a forest and practicing their techniques, and a 15 posts sparring with a partner of a A rank taijutsu or higher.

Techniques:
○ Fissure Kick God strike

Description: The fastest combination in the entire style. The combination starts with a front punch, a back punch, then a back leg fissure round kick to the neck of the opponent. This combo happens in a half a second

Kanjo-Tekina Ikari

Description: Kanjo-Tekina Ikari is a style solely derived from emotions, turning your feelings into fuel for power. This style is enigmatic, and not much is known behind the mechanics of how it works. The only way to learn more about the way of Kanjo-Tekina Ikari is to learn the style itself. Pupils are normally very emotional; they normally reach extremes of how they feel. When they are happy, they are jubilant. When they are angry, they are furious. Masters of this style have complete command over their emotions and always appear calm, nearly to the point of emotionless. It is assumed that chakra is affected by emotions, which is what may make this style so powerful. Apprentices and Masters of this style are known for their secrecy and temperance. Masters and disciples alike will feel mentally drained after using the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari. This Taijutsu belongs to no one group of people; its origins are unknown, so it is passed down sporadically. The style centers around agile movements and enormously powerful attacks. Blows are swift and deadly, strikes revolving around pressure points and vital spots. Its disciples have very low stamina and the higher you climb through the stages, the more likely you are to receive serious injury. An unfortunate trade-off for its ludicrous power.


Stage One: Hate (E-Ranked)

Description: The user is completely new to the technique, and the idea of using emotions to rule your actions is extremely strange. They will know no defensive techniques, but they will have an access to a myriad of powerful, yet slow techniques. Whether in training or battle, disciples will be forced to meditate for a period of time in order to gather their emotions. Their power can be drawn from literally any negative experience.
Abilities: In using this stage, the user will grow unnaturally strong. Fury is the baseline of every attack and the disciple will push his/her physical abilities to the far extremes. Inexperienced users can easily hyper-extend limbs and break their own bones if not careful. Those who have become accustomed to this stage can become blind with rage. Your stance is wide and open.
Graduation Requirements: Complete mastery of this stage means meditating and physical training such as weight lifting, stretching, and sprints. (5 posts)
Techniques:

○ Spiteful Strike
Requirements: NONE
Description: Concentrate on your hatred and unleash it with a furious strike. It is strictly close range. A fairly unsafe technique without proper execution. The power put behind the attack can shatter boulders and blow through trees, but is also capable of tearing muscles and fracturing bones of both your enemies and your own.

○ Disdainful Elbow
Requirements: NONE
Description: Concentrate on your hatred and aim a strike into the sternum or face with your elbow. Support the strike by forming a fist with the striking arm and grasping it with the other. Shatter bones and smash faces with this technique. It is easy to break your own elbow if not careful.

○ Unrefined Kick
Requirements: NONE
Description: Concentrate on your frustration and release it into a strike aimed for the torso. Stand on one leg, pull the other up to your chest and make an all-or-nothing side-ways kick into your opponent. It can bury your foot in rock, but careful, for it puts much stress on your leg if not practiced properly.


Stage Two: Envy (D-Ranked)

Description: In the initial stages of learning this style, the user will find himself/herself very emotionally unstable from hours of meditation centering around stirring emotions. Despite this drawback, the user's body will be in incredibly good shape, assuming that he/she had not already injures themselves. Muscles will be sore from constant misuse and the user will be constantly mentally exhausted. Users will definitely doubt the value of such tiring training, but they'll fail to notice the strength they have gained. This stage immerses learners into agile movements and meticulous techniques. Naturally, jealousy is what builds this stage, instilling caution and suspicion.
Abilities: Users will find themselves flexible and they'll begin to gain a fundamental understanding of the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari. Since this particular stage is not quite as intense as Hate, the amount of muscle required to utilize this technique is much lower. When in this stage, the user will appear cynical and anxious. Centers around quick and oily movements.
Graduation Requirements: Learn at least two techniques and go through rigorous meditation (2 Posts) and outrageous stretches (2 Posts).
Techniques:

○ Introverted Step
Requirements: Stage 1 Mastered
Description: Some consider it cowardly, others call it "playing it smart". Disappear from sight and reappear at your opponent's exposed back.

○ Distressed Block
Requirements: Stage 1 Mastered
Description: Catch your opponents lunge, sword swing, punch, or kick in between your arm and body, holding it firm so that your opponent will have trouble moving. If done correctly, the user can lead into an attack while still holding onto the enemy.

○ Step Counter
Requirements: Stage 1 Mastered + Introverted Step
Description: When assaulted by an opponent, place your left palm on their weapon/limb and spin on one foot to your left, allowing a clear chance to jam an elbow/dagger into your enemy's back. (It's possible on reversed sides as well. it's only easier to explain while talking of a specific side)

○ Dishonorable Strike
Requirements: Stage 1 Mastered + Distressed Block
Description: Disappear from sight and reappear before your opponent, especially in midst of confusion and aim a punch/kick to the crotch, stomach, sternum, throat, nose, or eyes.

○ False Sweep
Requirements: Stage 1 Mastered + Dishonorable Strike
Description: Make a feint to the upper body, creating an after image, while you actually drop to the ground and sweep your opponents legs from underneath them.


Stage Three: Fury (C-Ranked)

Description: Stage Three revolves around balanced, elegant, yet very powerful techniques, using anger as cause for powering techniques. Disciples will just begin to learn how to use the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari without causing themselves physical harm. Though they are still temperamental, they have better control over their emotions. Users will not have to think as much about how they should feel. They are in great physical health, but they will feel worn out or tired all the time, if following the proper training regimen. Every technique in this particular stage can be made fatal.
Abilities: Users will have great balance and their movements gain a certain uniformity. Muscles are tempered and disciples will be able to exercise control over their power. Fury, unlike hate, is a very tame emotion (comparatively). Moves are straight-forward and uniform.
Graduation Requirements: Learn at least three techniques and undergo intense meditation (4 posts) and temper your body and precision of your strikes through target practicing, swinging dummies, etc (3 posts) in order to reduce extraneous movements.
Techniques:

○ Invisible Spear Strike
Requirements: Stage 2 Mastered
Description: Modeled after eastern martial arts. Slam a palm into an enemy while sending out a pulse of chakra. Can cause internal damage. Its original purpose was to bypass armor or overcome blocks with weapons. It is a swift strike, but the stance taken is difficult to maneuver from.

○ Burst-Step Strike: Tantrum
Requirements: Stage 2 Mastered + Distressed Block
Description: With one hand, block a "straight attack" by letting it slide across the forearm to one side. The user then stomps on the ground and sends an elbow into an enemy's torso. Utilize the combined momentum of you and your enemy. Has enough force to rupture organs. Developed after eastern martial arts.

○ Burst-Step Strike: Treachery
Requirements: Stage 2 Mastered + Break-Step Strike: Tantrum
Description: A unique kick that is more like an upward jab, where you jam your foot into the underside of your enemy's chin. In doing so, you can launch your enemies into the air, often breaking necks in the process. Derived from eastern martial arts; it is initiated from a low point, where the user will place their palms on the ground and hoist themselves up for the attack.

○ Break-Step Strike: Devastation
Requirements: Stage 2 Mastered + Introverted Step
Description: Become blind with rage; stomp down to create a small crater and use the force and momentum generated to propel your arm(s) into your enemy(-ies).

Stage Four: Sorrow (B-Ranked)

Description: This particular stage is strictly defensive. A common attribute of all disciples who have progressed from this stage is their incredibly sturdy bodies and rock-hard muscles. Users will have achieved a new stage of calm and will no longer feel the ache and pains of their difficult training; either that or they don’t care anymore. Their understanding of how the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari comes naturally to them; the experience tends to be different for every person.
Abilities: Steel muscles that do not make users’ bodies appear physically larger. Enemies may underestimate your strength. The basis of this stage centers around defense: the kind that hardens your body to withstand explosions, swords, and jutsu. However, never overestimate your capabilities. Attacks will hurt.
Graduation Requirements: Users must learn two techniques while undergoing fierce meditation while hardening their bodies through unbelievable exercises such as sitting underneath of a waterfall for hours on end, or sitting while having enormous weights placed on your body (6 posts).
Techniques:

○ Iron Body
Requirements: Stage 3 Mastered
Description: A technique mostly used in more dire situations. Minimize damage done to your body by hardening all of the muscles in your body and gritting your teeth together for an enemy strike. It will hurt, and chances are, you will be injured (but to a lesser extent).

○ Cross-Block
Requirements: Stage 3 Mastered
Description: Simply cross your arms, enabling you to shield your face, torso, or lower body with a mere pivot of your limbs.

○ Hook Block
Requirements: Stage 3 Mastered + Cross-Block

Stage Five: Serenity (B-Ranked)
||Activation Period: 20 Posts||Passive Effects: Minor Mental Instability + Minor Muscle Damage||

Description: At this point in training, disciples will have reached a level of calm beyond what nonmembers could possibly ever hope to achieve. Users can easily control their emotions and their individual strength is quite remarkable. The next step in training is to incorporate chakra control and chakra manipulation. Doing so takes an enormous amount of dedication. The stage centers around non-hand-to-hand combat, specializing in distanced strikes. Users in this stage of Kanjo-Tekina Ikari will begin to appear unbelievably calm and their expression is nearly unreadable. However, their emotions are still easily swayed.
Abilities: Users will have a strong control over their emotions and have the ability to strategize and calculate in even the most desperate of situations. Channeling chakra into this style is going to be very foreign for them since users have thus far relied on emotions to do all of the work. But now that they must master serenity, they must learn to not always rely on emotions to fuel their power, seeing as emotions are not a very reliable source. CAN ONLY PERFORM TECHNIQUES IN THIS STAGE WHILE ACTIVATED
Graduation Requirements: You must first learn at least three techniques. Also, master your emotions through rigorous meditation; find a quiet spot with no disturbances (3 Posts). Chakra exercises are also essential. For example, adjusting your output of chakra, push-ups on water, and moving objects with bursts of chakra (3 Posts).
Techniques:

○ Spacial Fist
Requirements: Stage 4 Mastered
Description: Make a simple punch to the air and release a burst of chakra. It is normally invisible, but the more strength you put into it, the more powerful it will end up being. It has the range of approximately 20 meters.

○ Spatial Uppercut
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Make a flat palm strike to the air to help shape your chakra into a strike beneath your enemy's chin. Not particularly powerful, but useful for pressuring enemies and pushing them back. It has a range of approximately 15 meters.

○ Moon Sickle Strike
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Disappear from enemy sight and reappear behind them, having already stricken them several times with sharp blades of invisible chakra. Nearly impossible to track under normal circumstances. It can be easily countered since users are forced to slide to a stop.

○ Twin Star Strike
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Master your inner strength and unleash a two pronged attack. An apparition of your self will aim a shop to the back of your opponents head while you make an assault to the stomach.

○ Dragon Drop-Dive
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Drop from the sky spiraling. Concentrate chakra below you as you fall, allowing your spin and momentum to create a flashy, yet powerful drilling move. Breaks rock, stone, and faces.

○ Earth's Artifice
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Stomp the ground with all of your might while sending a burst of chakra through your foot. The result is a sizable shockwave of earth, hurtling giant boulders through the air and raising walls of rock twice your own size, making it a choice defensive technique. The tremor has its maximum effect within a 20 meter radius of the user.


Stage Six: Happiness (A-Ranked)
||Activation Period: 15 Posts||Passive Effects: Mental Decay + Muscle/Tendon Tears||

Description: Originally thought to be the final stage within the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari. Disciples will now incorporate all of their past learning into this one stage. By far, happiness is the most difficult to master and utilize. Only "true happiness" can fuel this technique, so users will have to use feelings of love, affection, achievement, and hopes in order to make full use of this stage; there is no meeting halfway. User's will have complete mastery over their emotions. At this point, they may have trouble expressing emotions at all. One of the dangers of reaching this stage is the loss of differentiation. For few, they grow more logical, meaning the loss of a "human" personality. For others, they notice these changes and fight them. Emotions will not come as naturally since users constantly meditate upon and single out emotions to carry out assaults.
Abilities: Users will have a great air of calm about them. Both their mind and bodies are strong, incredibly so, making them tolerant to lower leveled genjutsu and strong enough to withstand having entire boulders dropped on top of them. Their level of discipline exceeds even the masters of the most ancient arts. CAN ONLY PERFORM TECHNIQUES IN THIS STAGE WHILE ACTIVATED
Graduation Requirements: Master all techniques.
Techniques:

○ Soul Reflection Assault
Requirements: Stage 5 Mastered
Description: Master your inner spirit and attack with countless images of yourself. These apparitions will only last a maximum of three seconds each and are all restricted to basic attacks. IE Punches, kicks, knees, elbows, etc. Takes an enormous amount of concentration, allowing for no diversions.

○ Flawless Suffocation
Requirements: Stage 5 Mastered

○ Heaven's Blitz

Description: Appear in the air and as you all, rain apparitions of your inner self hurtling towards your enemy, each performing their own action.

○ Inner Might Projection
Requirements: Stage 5 Mastered
Description: Send a small blast of air infused with trace amounts of chakra towards your enemy. Incredibly forceful and is normally invisible to the naked eye. It can turn your enemy into a living rag doll being flung through the air.

○ Air Walk
Requirements: Stage 5 Mastered
Description: Literally walk through the air by fanning your chakra underneath of your feet. Your mobility is reduced slightly since the air is obviously much less dense than the ground, but once you get up to speed, there will be little difference in speed.

○ Eternal Plight: Imperfection
Requirements: All previous techniques in this stage
Description: Sacrifice the remainder of your activation time for 3 posts of blindingly fast speed. Your strength is lowered, but you cannot be seen unless you stop completely, or unless your enemy has a unique technique/bloodlines that can allow them to track such movements. You can only travel in straight lines, so to turn, you must stop to redirect yourself.


Stage Seven: Pandemonium (S-Ranked)
||Activation Period: Refer to "Description"||Passive Effects: Refer to "Description"||

Description: A truly frightening mile stone in Taijutsu history, and the unofficial "Final Stage" of the Kanjo-Tekina Ikari. It was established by ancient masters who had ventured far beyond the realm of human possibilities. Merely using the techniques under this stage can prove extremely harmful to one's physical and mental health. In many ways,
Kanjo-Tekina Ikari is still incomplete, since users cannot gauge what is within the capabilities of their own body's any longer. They will tend to think that they have grown more powerful or reached new stages of flexibility, but all their doing is growing numb to pain. The longer you stay within the activation time, the more damage you do unto yourself:

Activation Time: 5 Posts - Minor Muscle Tears + Temporary Slight Mental Instability

Activation Time: 10 Posts - Major Muscle Tears + Mental Decay (long recovery time)

Activation Time: 15 Posts - Major Tendon and Muscle Damage + Major Mental Decay (hospitalized recovery/permanent)

Activation Time: 20 Posts - Muscle and Tendon Tears + Bone Fractures + Major Brain Damage + Loss of Functions (Sight, Hearing, etc) || MAY LEAD TO DEATH

Activation Time: 30 Posts (MAX) - DEATH

Pi Qua Quan

Description:
Pi Qua Quan, among all styles of Taijutsu, involves the most movements. Mainly, it emphasizes mid to long range attacks, in which the opponent is confused by the attacker’s constant motion. It is named from the movement of the hands during an offensive: the downward movement of the hand is referred to as “pi“, while the upward movement is referred to as “qua“. As the name suggests, Pi Qua Quan is the circular motion of the hand, much like a windmill; a fist is seldom used. Instead, much of the offensive comes from hands relaxed with fingers extended, being used in a manner resembling a whip. The moves are full of beauty, yet the offenses are sharp and heavy.

In Pi Qua Quan the moves are smooth and flexible. It demands the greatest degree of flexibility in any known style of Taijutsu, for the user must learn to move gracefully and without the stiffness of many forms of Taijutsu possess. However, while the style is quite fast and fluid, it does lack the raw power of some other Taijutsu styles; as such every hit has to count. As a result, over the years countering has become a fundamental aspect of the style, and it has indeed become so recognized as a part of the style that many have expressed a great fear of attacking a user of Pi Qua Quan for fear of their devastating counters. As a result of this focus on countering, the style has evolved over time to incorporate chakra control to improve the users reflexes, better equipping them to counter attacks, making it easily the most formidable and most prominent Taijutsu style in the Wind Country.

___Notes:
• As the practitioner progresses in stages, they become more flexible.

___S t a g e O n e [1]
Seiryu Kasho
Simple :: E-Ranked
A simple move done will facing away from the opponent. When the opponent is close. The user begins the move by starting to spin on one foot while at the same time swinging their arms downward in front of them, using the momentum from the spin to bring their arms up such that their hands strike the opponent typically below the chin making for a strong blow that is difficult to defend against.

Bokuho
Simple :: E-Ranked
A basic stance that takes advantage of the user’s flexibility; the user crouches down with one leg bent, the other extended slightly. The arms are held out wide and outstretched high above their head, but loose and relaxed at the same time. This allows for the user to be able to target any part of the opponent’s body, whether it be their head or their feet.

___S t a g e T w o [2]
Fukanro
Simple :: D-Ranked
Catching the opponents kick, the user holds it high while bending down low to quickly grab the opponent’s other foot, and in one swift movement they wrench the opponents other foot up high while pushing the other down low, the movement typically taking the opponent clear off the ground, causing them to spin in mid air before collapsing on the ground. Though this counter is not particularly damaging, it can provide an opening for additional attacks, making it quite useful in the right hands.

Teishitsu-Jouhai-Sho
Simple :: D-Ranked
A move performed while the user is facing the enemy. Bending down slightly, the user executes a perfect 360 degree spin, striking upwards as they do so resulting in a powerful uppercut that, at higher levels, can easily lift an opponent off the ground.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Kasui-Sho
Simple :: C-Ranked
When an opponent attempts to kick the user while in their Bokuho stance, the user slides extended leg forward while crossing their arms over their head to defend against the kick. With the opponent’s leg pressed against their arms, the user then swiftly pushes his or her self upward, forcing the opponent’s leg high upwards, and sweeps their other foot through the opponent’s other leg, causing them to fall onto their back or neck. This is typically followed with a sharp kick to a vital area and can be devastating against ill-prepared opponents.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]
Tenshin-Bansa
Simple :: B-Ranked
A deceptively simple counter, in which the user catches the opponent’s punch with both hands, then pulls the opponent forward and turns such that they are behind the opponent. The user then leans forward, forcing the opponent to the ground while still holding onto their arm, typically resulting in the arm breaking, or being dislocated at least.

Koran
Simple :: B-Ranked
Another quite simple but powerful move. Quickly catching an opponents kick, the user immediately lashes out with a kick of their own to the opponents groin, and stepping forward as they do that, they finish it off with a kick to the opponents other foot, typically leaving them face down on the ground struggling to stand.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Uryu-Banda
Simple :: B-Ranked
One of Pi Qua Quan’s signature moves, it is essentially a very fast spin in which both the users body and their arms spin rapidly, though their arms are focused in one direction making them appear much like the sails on a windmill. The speed and fluidity of this move is easily the most impressive part, and due to the swiftness with which the move can be started it is a very dangerous move to anyone foolish enough to get too close. Lastly, the move provides an ideal opportunity to move into the Bokuho stance, allowing the user to press the offensive further afterward.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Hebi Taba
Simple :: Rank A
One of the few submission techniques of Pi Qua Quan.
The user will attempt to wrangle themself around their opponent in anyway possible. Abusing their flexibility, they will perform various constricting holds on the opponent's vital limbs. Even a few moments of being within the grip of an expert of Pi Qua Quan can be lethal.
