Taijutsu and Weaponry stuff

[b]Name:[/b] Waist Turn [Gamaku]
[b]Rank:[/b] E-rank
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] Supplementary
[b]Description:[/b] An ancient technique that allows the user to pretend to stand on one leg, but actually stand on the other leg. The opponent is fooled by the stance and defends for the wrong leg, even thinking that the user is stepping forward but actually is taking a back step. They then see the wrong leg move forward when actually the opposite leg comes in unexpectedly. This move uses the oblique muscles to switch the leg with the center of gravity, separating the balance between the upper and lower body. When most people kick, the upper body leans to signal which leg is being used. However, the center of gravity is actually on the grounded leg, which kicks the opponent.


[b]Name:[/b] Backward Roll [Ushiro Ukemi]
[b]Rank:[/b] E-rank
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] Supplementary
Description: A technique derived from an ancient martial art, the Ushiro Ukemi allows the user to force themselves to hit the ground in a backward roll, providing an effective manner to reducing the impact from throws and falls.

[b]Name:[/b] Sumokudori
[b]Rank:[/b] E-rank
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] Melee
[b]Description:[/b] A technique from an ancient style, this technique is used when an opponent has attacked with a punch and is used to counter it. The user grabs the opponent's arm, places the arm at the back of the user’s neck before lowering their center of gravity and then tripping the opponent with a sweep of the leg.

[b]Name:[/b] Wrist Joint Throw
[b]Rank:[/b] E-rank
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] Melee
[b]Description:[/b] A Jujitsu technique, the user will grab hold of an opponent's strike by the wrist, apply pressure to the joint by curling the arm backward while simultaneously taking a step forward and placing their center of gravity behind their opponent's. They will then push forward and throw their opponent's to the ground.

[b]Name:[/b] Bagua Steps[Baguazhang Kaiho]
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] E-rank
[b]Range:[/b] 40 centimeters
[b]Element: [/b]N/A
[b]Description:[/b] A very basic footwork maneuver that the Taijutsu practitioner has been able to perfect through use of chakra enhanced movements. When an opponent attacks,the Bagua user will circle around his side, and appear behind him. When someone attacks with a punch, the practitioner will put his same sided foot behind their opposite sided foot, with his two feet pointing towards each other. After that, follow up with your left foot, circle behind your opponent's left side and you appear behind the opponent. This can be used as a starting point for a throw or a strike. Using chakra to enhance the movement makes it difficult to the untrained eye. The trained eye, I.E. shinobi, will usually be able to follow the movement, but it is very useful for gaining better positioning in hand to hand combat.

[b]Name:[/b] Illusionary Dash [Kaihou]
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] C-rank
[b]Range:[/b] 6 feet
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b]
The name, while the technique is no illusion, is frighteningly accurate for this taijutsu maneuver. The human eye has a weakness, a blind spot. Light gets into the eye by passing through the pupil. It hits the retina at the back of the eye. The retina is covered with light-sensing proteins. They relay what they sense to the optic nerve which carries the information back into the brain. The problem is, the optic nerve ends in the field of the retina itself. This creates a dark spot in the human field of vision. When these dark spots overlap or if the person is forced to look out of one eye the brain just fills in the spot looking at the surrounding picture. This is the tendency with the human brain that the Illusionary Dash exploits. After a time of watching and studying the opponent’s optical tendencies (2 posts) the user of this technique will be able to locate that blind spot. From there, is where the illusionary dash takes place. By channeling chakra to their feet, the user will increase their speed by 10% for two posts while constantly moving in to the dead spot in their opponent’s field of vision. Considering the dead spot changes whenever they move their head so much as an inch, it will seem as if the user of the Illusionary dash is flickering in and out of focus, making it difficult to effectively read the Illusionary dasher’s attacks. If the opponent loses or has lost functionality in one eye, the user can cause themselves to disappear from view entirely. Given the location of the blind spot, this jutsu functions are a range of six feet.


[b]Name:[/b] Palm Push [Sōtenshu]
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] D-rank
[b]Range:[/b] Melee
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b] A simple yet potentially devastating attack, the Sōtenshu greatly calls upon the chakra control of the user to incapacitate a foe in a non-lethal manner. Placing both palms on an opponent’s chest, the user will force their chakra out through their palms and in to their opponent’s body, sending a concussive force through their victim and sufficiently knocking the wind out of them and at most, fracturing a few ribs. The use of this technique requires substantial amount of chakra control and can only be used by clans with immense chakra control or those who have under gone immense training and are specially characterized as having strong control over their chakra.

[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b] The first attack in the Gatotsu Chain, Sagumi will prepare his blow by dropping into a partial crouch, with both knees bent, right arm drawn back and his left extended forward. Sagumi’s right hand will slide down the hilt of his weapon before grasping the kashira or end cap of his sword and as he rests the tips of the fingers of his right hand on the blade near its tip. Sagumi will then thrust himself and his weapon forward in a powerful thrusting attack. This attack can also be used in a barehanded capacity.


[b]Name:[/b] Gatotsu Nishiki
[b]Type: [/b]Taijutsu/Weaponry
[b]Rank:[/b] C-rank
[b]Range:[/b] Melee/Weapon’s Length
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b]
One potential follow up attack to the Gatotsu: Ishiki. Using the momentum from the first Gatotsu, the user will force chakra to their feet and jettison themselves forward while twisting the point of the sword or fist downward to the ground. The burst of chakra will double the speed the user was moving at for the thrust while the twisting motion of the Gatotsu will cause a wider wound when the weapon strikes its target.


[b]Name: [/b] Gatotsu Sanshiki
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu/Weaponry
[b]Rank: [/b]C-rank
[b]Range:[/b] Melee/Weapon’s Length
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b] One potential follow up attack to the Gatotsu: Ishiki.

[b]Name:[/b] Gatotsu Zeroshiki
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu/Weaponry
[b]Rank:[/b] A-rank
[b]Range: [/b]Melee/Weapon’s Length
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b]
Can either be used as a standalone strike or part of a Gatotsu combination. The user will gather a large amount of chakra to their weapon or fist and thrust that chakra either through the weapon or their fist, allowing them to generate a frighteningly powerful thrust with almost no arm movement, easily punching a massive hole through the human body.

[b]Name:[/b] Cross Countah
[b]Rank: [/b]B
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] 1 meter
[b]Description:[/b] Using the chakra control of the Sumashuu and the principles behind the Kage Buyou, this technique serves as a counter attack to an opponent’s melee or close range attack. A slight glimmer will radiate from the user while this technique is used, the glimmer itself being a two inch threshold around the user’s body. If any kinetic force punctures that barrier, the user will disappear and reappear behind the opponent in a similar function to the Kage Buyou and can strike from there. In order to maintain the membrane of chakra however, the user’s muscles must be perfectly still and consequently gives this counter a very telegraphed nature, limiting its overall functionality and practical application, especially considering the visual cues.

[b]Name: [/b] Lightning Legs [Hyakuretsukyaku]
[b]Rank:[/b] C-B
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Range:[/b] Length of the leg
[b]Description:[/b] This technique is, at its core, simply a kicking technique. The user will initiate a direct forward kick in front of their body. However, it will not remain a simple forward kick, as soon as the first kick finishes, the jutsu will proceed to throw four more kicks that connect each a quarter of a second after the first, effectively kicking a target five times within a second. With more chakra applied, the technique strikes ten times within that second.


[b]Name:[/b] Mantis Slash [Tourouzan]
[b]Type: [/b]Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] D,C,B-rank
[b]Range:[/b] 15-meters
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b]
The user will dash in to a target and deliver quick sequence of horizontal, knife hand slashes. The user will gather chakra to their hands in the process, giving their hands the properties of a blade and making them capable of cutting through flesh. This is one of the few techniques that can be repeated in one combo string and each successive attack costs one higher rank of chakra.


[b]Name:[/b] One-handed Palm Push [Ichisōtenshu]
[b]Type:[/b] Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] C-rank
[b]Range: [/b]Melee
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b] A simple yet potentially devastating attack, the Sōtenshu greatly calls upon the chakra control of the user to incapacitate a foe in a non-lethal manner. Placing both palms on an opponent’s chest, the user will force their chakra out through their palms and in to their opponent’s body, sending a concussive force through their victim and sufficiently knocking the wind out of them and at most, fracturing a few ribs. Like its parent jutsu, the Ichisotenshu carries a similar function, the more precise and less divided expulsion of chakra is far more dangerous however and can damage internal organs if the strike lands directly. The use of this technique requires substantial amount of chakra control and can only be used by clans with immense chakra control or those who have under gone immense training and are specially characterized as having strong control over their chakra.

[b]Name:[/b] Twin Tiger Palm Strike [Kobokushi]
[b]Type: [/b]Taijutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] C-S-rank
[b]Range:[/b] 2 meters
[b]Element:[/b] N/A
[b]Description:[/b]
This Palm thrust is one of the most useful attacks in the entire Danketsu Chain. Pulling both hands in to the chest and standing firmly in the horse stance, the user will coil their body back before thrusting their hands forward, releasing the mass of chakra gathered in the user’s hands in the form of a giant pulse. While being a lot of concussive power and the capacity to repel large objects and potentially end someone’s life, the sheer amount of energy released from the Kobokushi is great enough to dissipate many energy based attacks as well. The rigid form required and the start up time to initialize the move tend to make it difficult to perform on the fly however and as such it cannot be used while mobile.
