A stylish fighting form which was widely used in the Hapan cluster, however some outsiders do specialize in it. This fighting style is a strong martial art, with incredibly powerful punches, elbows, lifting knees and driving, lower kicks. The user would need to have immense strength to be able to use the form to the full potential it offers. It lacks true agility and is mainly intended for the combatant that can stand a good amount of damage if needed.
Stance
Feet are either square or strong/weak side forward, resting on the balls of the feet. Hands are held at about eye level which allows punches to be thrown from the shoulder, or swiftly turned into a strike of the elbow.
Striking
Punches drive from the shoulder as the entire upper body telescopes through the target. Elbow strikes are delivered in either slashing or smashing movements. Knees are lifted to push away an opponent or to upwardly strike if the practitioner as a firm hold of the opponent’s head. Kicks are delivered low, usually in attempt to sweep an opponent or break an appendage.
Defense
At eye level, hands are easily called to block most flanking strikes. Legs lift into the users body to block kicks or used to thrust an opponent away.
