There comes a time in every young boy’s life where he has to decide what it is that is important to him. It is this fundamental concept that allows them to grow into manhood, maturing their desires for the world into something they strive for, willing to give all their being to achieve. Shenjie had come to understand this better and better through his many travels. The years spent wandering the world, finding new places, learning what it was that drove him really helped him develop what it was that he truly wanted to achieve with his life. He wanted to teach martial arts to the next generation, in the passive way that he had come to develop first by learning from Goki, then later developing methods of non-aggression and pacification without combat. A warrior had to be strong, but never to force his will upon someone else or to needlessly take life, but to defend his Bushido, his way of life, or the people or things he cared for. It was his duty as both a warrior, and now under the new mantle of master, he was willing to begin learning how to teach the martial arts to those that wanted to learn to better themselves.

Shenjie was wearing a grey T shirt with a black sports jacket a pair of jeans and some comfortable hiking shoes. His freshly sewn white Gi was tied in his belt in the traditional fashion as he slung it over his shoulder with his butt bag. As he entered the winter home complex south of Corner stone by at least 5 Kilometers or so, Shenjie was feeling much more confident about the pupil as he entered the town that surrounded the complex that was defined by its ornate structure. The autumn colors and the warm feel of the people, the sound of bustling activity and chopping wood as the private forest for the Daimyo’s game hunting carried a scent into the compound that reminded Shenjie of his birth place in the land of rivers during the fall. Shenjie was thoroughly enjoying the ambiance of the land of earth in its transitional season; however Shenjie knew that it was time to locate the gym he had been asked to visit, the one that had been built just for a young man who was not very interested in martial arts or combat in general. Shenjie understood the feeling, being forced into something that wasn’t your own, yet he also understood that this boy was still just that, a boy who needed to undergo the transformation to manhood that was finding out what the fight meant to him, wither it meant nothing or it was about aggression.

Shenjie took a moment, using his fingers, rubbing them along the side of the building to read the signs as he finally found one that seemed like it would belong to a gym. “Tarogi Gym” Shenjie ready quietly to himself as he felt the three or four people inside doing what felt like drills and sparring while another figure, smaller in stature was sitting upon the floor cross-legged next to a taller standing gentleman. Shenjie entered the gym, feeling as if he was entering a very strict location, the fellows training inside each seemed to have their own style, though boxing felt like the common link between them; however their movements felt slow and unpracticed, as if they were simply taken from the amateur ring and placed right there in the gym. “good, you’re finally here…took you long enough…the Tsuchikage assures me that you’re one of the best masters the village had to offer, but I have to say keeping me waiting is not a good way to get a good report.” The older gentleman, clearly the Daiymo and the younger sitting fellow was now clearly the son. Standing only at 152 cm tall currently, which was dwarfed by Shenjie’s almost 180 cm height. “Patience is a sign of good judgement,” Shenjie said bowing to the fellow, clasping his hands in front of his chest before bowing. “Osh,” he said as a Karate Ka, remembering his manners as he figured the daimyo owned this gym.

“Indeed…well anyway I’ll leave you too it, teach my son how to be a man and fight…I can’t have this softness of his mother and her codling become the Heir to my throne.” The lord of the land stated clearly as he tapped his son on the shoulder. “Make me proud boy…for once in your life.” The fellow said, leaving the second part quietly muttered to himself; however Shenjie’s hearing was acute enough to make out that there was obviously a very tense relationship between the boy and his father. “Um…okay…I’ll give it my best.” Shenjie said awkwardly giving the fellow a thumbs up as he approached the kid, taking a moment to put his bags down and prepare himself to teach as he reached into his butt pack and produced a pair of hand warps. “So, I guess I’ll be your new instructor, you may call me Shenjie Shisho.” Shenjie said as he sat down on one of the wooden benches present in the gym and began to wrap his hands. After finishing Shenjie quickly pulled his pants off, revealing his boxing shorts underneath as he prepared to prove himself to this kid. Shenjie could see this kid hiding his face, and even more so squealing with displeasure at Shenjie’s indecent changing. “Whaaaa?” Shenjie asked, not really seeing any problem with changing in front of other guys, the other athletes of the gym didn’t seem to care all that much. Yet this kid was squealing like he were a fresh stuck pig.

“Alright, so anyway, get dressed really quick, put on your gear, and get in the ring so I can see what you’ve learned so far, then we will go from there.” Shenjie said looking away with his blind eyes for a moment as he reached in his bag to produce a pair of padded grappling gloves, knee pads, leg pads, headgear and a mouth piece for himself. The kid simply stood up and scoffed. “You play it pretty cool for a blind guy, I bet I could beat your ass, how dare my father put me through this training with someone who is clearly unfit to teach.” The little shit said with a strong sense of conviction as he strides over to the changing room to go put on his gear. Shenjie couldn’t help but chuckle at the comment, having heard it all before growing up. “Haha, yeah I’m sure you will short stuff.” Shenjie didn’t normally start with full contact sparring, and it was of course not something that he would normally consider for a beginner, but this kid needed to realize how big the gap was between them, and that he was still weak and had a lot to learn.

Shitakuma Passives

SPOILER: Click to show

Kusomimi (HellsEars) X7
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

Tremor Sense X10
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Tremor Sense Advanced X5
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of ice. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Ice, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Ice vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, then they can not surpass that distance with Tremor Sense Advanced. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense that surpases in distance of Advanced

Tremor Sense Expertise X3
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---

This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of metal. Mtal is to constricted and the vibrations is weaker so this is why this is needed. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Metal, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Metal vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user.

The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique, as well as the second step. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense, and Tremor Sense Advanced. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, Tremor sense of Fifty Yards then they can not surpass that distance of fifty meters with Tremor Sense Expertise. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a Ninty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.

Boxers Mentality
Rank: ["D"], ["C"], ["B"], "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

Clinching
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The only grappling technique found in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The sole legal grapple in boxing, in which one fighter embraces the other, pinning his arms in a position where he can no longer freely attack. Although typically a defensive, last-resort measure in boxing -since it prevents either fighter from attacking effectively, and thus only buys time for the clinching fighter to recover until the referee forces the opponents apart. A user can use this offensively, taking away their opponent's ability to attack before delivering a crippling blow to the body. If the user hyper extends the opponent's elbows within the clench will reduce the opponent's striking damage by 5 hit points per clinch for 1d4 rounds. This technique may stack, each time used.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Shenjie finished adjusting his gear, making sure his shin and knee pads were adjusted as he stood up from the bench he had been sitting on. His hands felt extra padded as he wore the open fingered fighting gloves that would help him employ the idea of multiple fighting martial arts. Pulling up on the ropes of the ring, climbing in, Shenjie got into his corner, which he couldn’t tell which corner he was in to be honest as his tremor sense only let him see the shape of the ring, not the color of it. The younger fellow climbed on in, seemingly ready as Shenjie could smell the scent of new gear. “Alright, three rounds, show me what you’ve got kid.” Shenjie said getting into his orthodox boxer’s stance, taking it easy on the kid, as he was naturally a southpaw, but Karate didn’t favor a footing so Shenjie had learned to use both from an early age. Shenjie thought about outboxing the kid, as he was naturally taller than his younger counterpart. Shenjie knew the kid would want to in-fight right out of the gates, and further more Shenjie was tempted to let him, as Shenjie had learned to fight on the inside from the get go when he first learned to box from Goki-Sensei. He knew that if the kid went in for some grappling techniques like wrestling; which was allowed in Mixed Martial Arts. Shenjie remembered the idea of grappling; which was a standing technique used in Muay Thai and Boxing in such a way to fight opponents while grappling with them.

With the open fingered gloves it was going to be much easier than it would have been with the closed boxing mitts that restricted the round to only striking instead of adhering to the process of striking, throwing, then submitting on the ground. Shenjie knew the importance of fighting, especially at the juncture of each switch as he had been fighting for quite a while, and knew what he was doing. Honestly, Shenjie preferred a standing fight; however if it weren’t possible he knew quite a few strikes that could be thrown from the ground. As the bell rang, Shenjie began to move his head a bit feeling his feet, up on his toes as he shifted his body, making sure to keep a visual on the kids vibrations as he moved in really quickly, using the basic principle of throwing punches to take Shenjie on. Shenjie quickly slipped his head towards the inside of the kid’s chest, feeling the motion as he sensed an uppercut following the blow as he rolled his head low under the kids retracting jab, slipping to the outside and taking an instep with his lead left hand, getting on the outside of the clench as he pinned the kids arms to his body as he wrapped one arm around the back of the kid’s neck and used the left hand to check the kid’s right hand.

Shenjie was not a master of the clinch as he had not really had any need to clench before except for when he was attempting to avoid ground fighting. Shenjie knew that he had some options here as he could shift his body and throw a quick uppercut himself towards the kid’s chin, he could step back and throw a crescent left middle kick, or he could even throw the kid from the clench, but alas he focused on holding the kid in place as he pushed in on the kid’s elbows, applying some pressure to tire the kid’s arms out as he knew that it would stress him out enough to get him to chill out a bit. He knew that this kid, and kids like him thought a lot about the little ability that they had, but Shenjie wanted him to realize that he had lots of learn still. Shenjie used his foot placement, stepping back with his right foot, putting pressure on the kids neck, forcing him to look downward as he rotated his body, stepping his left foot in a 180 degree arch switching to his natural southpaw while bending the kid’s head, throwing him to the ground in the process. Shenjie stepped back preparing to fight the kid, not taking advantage of his grounded position. In a competition he would have just been awarded the points for a successful throw. Shenjie reset his position as he figured the kid was feeling as if he had simply made a mistake, but in actuality Shenjie was in control the whole time.

The kid came in again, this time with a much more aggressive vibe as he quickly threw a pair of jabs, Shenjie let the jab pound against his glove as he held it out palm open as he leaned backwards letting the glove absorb the already hyper extended blows. Shenjie knew that this was a set up for one of the many combos, meaning that he was probably relying on the little boxing he knew, which meant…Shenjie thought as he quickly ducked down twisting his body as his head shifted towards the inside, letting the right hand cross slip past his head. Shenjie knew that from here he could go for a grapple. If he could, he might even be able to turn it into a shoulder throw, which would look pretty awesome. Shenjie thought to himself as he quickly around the back of the kid’s neck tucking his right arm under his clavicle bone. Shenjie then used his other arm to grab the kid by his right arm, pulling it up as Shenjie twisted his body slamming the kid to the ground with a Shoulder throw that as probably going to hurt quite a bit if Shenjie hadn’t let go so that he could recover a bit instead of slamming him right into the ground. “Is that all you’ve got?” Shenjie asked with a chuckle as the kid was getting up already grasping Shenjie around the waist, attempting to fight him with a clench just as Shenjie had engaged him earlier, but Shenjie was just too tall for him to clench with effectively without having him bent over. Shenjie quickly put his hand back into position.

Placing one hand on the back of the kid’s neck, and the other to check the arm just like before, the fellow had put himself in a position that was more favorable to Shenjie than it was to him as Shenjie debated what he would do this time to really get the lesson across as he knew that him just throwing him back and forth would be annoying, but it wouldn’t tire out the kid as much as he wanted. Shenjie knew he had to do something as he feinted throwing a knee to the kids chest, watching his face recoil, getting ready for the blow, Shenjie quickly released his grasp of the kid’s checked arm bending his body to the side, Shenjie quickly threw an uppercut towards the kid’s chin, making it clear that he meant business as the kid opened his eyes only to feel the padded glove smacking his face instead of the knee colliding with is side as Shenjie then twisted his body stepping both feet in as he grabbed the kids shoulders, and used the now off balance position of the kid to push over him, rolling over him just like he would do for Goutetsu, rolling over the kid then using his foot to kick the kid into the ropes as he felt like he had gotten the message across. “What do you say to your Shisho being blind now?” Shenjie asked as the kid seemed resolute, pulling himself up from the ropes gradually as he seemed to scoff at the thought. “You’re hits are nothing, I could have taught myself better.” The kid said in an annoying tone as Shenjie sighed getting back into his out boxer’s pose, getting ready to fight some more.

Shenjie felt the need to move as he bounced on his toes as the kid moved in again. Shenjie decided to simply move in for a clinch once again as he clasped the kid this time as he got in close, quickly tucking the kids head down, not checking the arm this time as he quickly rolled over on his back into a sacrifice throw as he send the kid rolling backwards going from a clinch to another move, using the versatile selection of his grappling techniques to change up the fight. It was time to show this kid what he was made of as Shenjie prepared for some more powerful combat.

Kusomimi (HellsEars) X7
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

Tremor Sense X10
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Tremor Sense Advanced X5
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of ice. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Ice, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Ice vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, then they can not surpass that distance with Tremor Sense Advanced. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense that surpases in distance of Advanced

By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of metal. Mtal is to constricted and the vibrations is weaker so this is why this is needed. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Metal, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Metal vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique, as well as the second step. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense, and Tremor Sense Advanced. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, Tremor sense of Fifty Yards then they can not surpass that distance of fifty meters with Tremor Sense Expertise. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a Ninty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die.

Boxers Mentality
Rank: ["D"], ["C"], ["B"], "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

Shenjie could see that the young fellow was panting, his body weak and if he were to continue hitting the kid he would surely find that he would likely receive un repairable injuries, or maybe even die if Shenjie went all out on him. “I think you get the idea kid…I’m your teacher now.” Shenjie said as he quickly climbed out of the ring and unfastened his equipment. “You have a lot to learn kiddo, but we will get there together, so how about you cut the attitude and come get dressed.” Shenjie said calmly as he filled his gym bag with the equipment, quickly putting on his white Gi shirt and pants, kneeling down to properly tied his Black belt around his waist as he finally took on the mantle of his true martial art. Shenjie was finally dressed pulling out the freshly pressed martial arts uniform and white belt for the young fellow when suddenly a muscular looking fellow, started shouting at his new pupil, scolding him for his loss. “Krav Maga can’t lose to some punk as Karate, you’re just a little bitch, and I knew it way before your father begged me to make you a man…Waste of my time.” The fellow said socking the kid in the gut with a knee of some sort; which looked pretty painful to be honest. Shenjie suddenly felt the unequalled rage inside him as his killing intent began to slowly affect his mind set as he remembered a kick that would surely knock this militant fellow on his ass, using a quick roundhouse kick to the head. It would be an easy solution to be honest. The kick required the rotation of his hips, aiming a kick, using his grounding to produce enough power to knock a grown ass man on his ass.

“Don’t talk to my pupil that way,” Shenjie said coldly, any ounce of playful remorse now vacant as he quickly prepared his strike. He couldn’t be the first one to strike, but he would be sure to be the last one as the fellow threw up what felt like a simple guard. “This is none of your business Blind Karate Kid, Fuck off.” The other instructor grumbled with a tone of bigotry as Shenjie sighed feeling a sudden presence, and a need to move as a front kick was suddenly thrown his way. Shenjie’s pose, automatically choosing a second Goutetsu Karate stance, with his right leg in the lead as he suddenly felt a rear front kick (Left leg, Shenjie’s right side) Being sent his way as Shenjie’s mental instincts kicked in. He stepped back, moving his hands with an open palm circular motion as he deflected the kick using the low block Kata form taking a step back before stepping in and throwing a kick of his own. Shenjie had experienced plenty of Kumite in his time as a Karate Ka. He quickly rotated his hips bending his leg and extending it in such a strong fashion as he threw what looked like a regular roundhouse kick to the average observer towards the fellow’s head. This kick used the back, hips and knees as points of leverage as he quickly felt his kick developing as he unleashed his power.

If you’re wanting to fight, always be prepared to kill your enemy, as you might put your own life on the line, Shenjie thought to himself as his kick held the intent to crush his enemy the strike housing so much power from the Do form martial art. Shenjie was a Sei from user personally, but it was this mix of both Do and Sei that made him such an efficient fighter. The fellow seemed to take the hit straight on at first as Shenjie felt the blow connect, but the vibration that he got from the connection proved him wrong as he felt the fellow blocking with his arm, feeling the blow reverberate through the fellow’s body, and feeling some of the damage hitting the fellow’s face cutting the fellow’s mouth up enough to result in a slow trickle of blood that Shenjie could smell on the fellow’s face. “You bastard.” Shenjie heard the fellow spout as he quickly stepped in, attempting to trap Shenjie’s leg for a takedown as Shenjie could suddenly felt the need to get away. The fellow was attempting to twist Shenjie’s foot to throw him to the ground. Shenjie quickly spun with the movement back flipping to get away from the grapple as the fellow seemed a bit impressed and pissed all in the same moment. “That was a pretty agile move, you move like a little girl.” The fellow taunted as Shenjie recomposed himself thinking about how the roundhouse kick left him open for counter attacks as Shenjie needed to be sure he could hit with the attack before he used it. He would have to be more careful from this point on as Shenjie quickly took a step back to recalculate where he was and what it was he wanted to do. His Karate Arsenal was wide but was more restricted to kicks than punches.

Shenjie figured he would have to get this guy to flinch as he made his move again taking another instep doing what looked like a back foot front kick. This kick was one that he had used on multiple occasions to defend himself and push back his opponent; however that wasn’t really his plan at all. He was actually looking to throw a left middle crescent kick towards the fellow’s mid-section, but again this move would not be his end result, he was going to finish this with a roundhouse kick. Shenjie quickly moved his hip, tightening his chest muscles to display the false moves as he prepared to move in for the kick. They were of course well thought out feints, and they did their job as the fellow quickly moved to deflect those kicks from the inside and absorb the second. Good, Shenjie thought as his true intent was made known when he threw the actual roundhouse kick, twisting his hips and building the momentum to take this boy down. Shenjie knew that his opponent had caught on when the kick was developing as he attempted to duck his head, but Shenjie had prepared for this not just throwing his momentum to the head, but also directing it downward, making contact with the back of the fellow’s head as he completed the roundhouse in a modified fashion known as a Brazilian kick (A special kind of roundhouse kick that involved not only side but downward momentum, adapted to karate from Brazilian kicking movements…Takashi’s move from All Rounder Maguru if anyone is familiar with that Manga.) Shenjie felt the kick almost crush the back of the fellow’s skull as he heard his body crumple, the fellow landing face first on the mat, and his student looking in awe as his teacher took down a much larger opponent despite his disability and the straight forwardness of his Karate.

“Shenjie Shi…Shisho, teach me how to do that!” The kid said, even despite his bleeding nose and sore body from previously sparing Shenjie. The blind master knelt down, wiping the blood on his Gi sleeve as he simply pointed towards the uniform he had set aside earlier. “Alright kiddo get dressed while I finish up with this guy.” Shenjie said ruffling the kid’s hair as he picked up the heavy fellow, with much more ease than one would expect, and simply carried him to the gym’s infirmary to rest, not feeling any more rage as he had knocked out his opponent cold. Shenjie was feeling pretty warmed up as he prepared to teach the kid some basic white belt Kata in hopes of passing on his teachings to the younger generation, passing on the passive ideal of Karate has no first strike, and that there was always a spiritual bond with peace and Karate that would always prove that one could fight without ending the life of their opponent, choosing to defeat them through difficult means despite the nature of killing intent and Do form martial arts.

Shenjie was glad that the young pupil was learning son energetically now as he pounded a bag, listening to Shenjie’s instructions as he knew his instructor had the power to take down much bigger opponents. Shenjie nodded with approval the boy showing much more promise with the bag now that he was throwing proper strikes and following instructions of his sensei properly instead of relying something as simple as rage or talent. Shenjie nodded in approval as he got into one of the many modified versions of the second goutetsu stance as stood right foot first, with his right hand palm down towards the floor with his left hand low by his hips. Shenjie was in need of practice too, and training with your student was key to understanding the basic bond between master and student, Shenjie had come to learn this through his own master, now passing on the tradition as he practiced kicking kata while his pupil preformed his assignment. “10,000 punches to the bag and then you will be done for the day.” Shenjie said as he felt his hips loosen as he quickly twisted his body backwards, lifting his foot up by his face much like the action of raising up front kick; however this kick was much more vertical, trained on the ground as it was meant to crush through an opponent, and devastate their body enough to incapacitate them or break bones.

Shenjie was feeling very confident in his Kata as he made sure to perform the bending of the knee and rotation of the hips, focusing on every little movement as he swung downward towards head level as his kick quickly resulted in an instep. It was a nice kick, truly hit had its uses, and increased his range by a decent margin. This technique was designed to not only smack an opponent’s head, but to crush it. Shenjie could feel his whole body weight coming down on the kick as he let the heel drop, feeling his muscles tensing with their corresponding groups as he let the kick descend, stopping it as he stomped into the ground with his foot putting his hands in front of him much like blades the positioning very ideal for circular deflections as he set up his range with a saikuken, the idea of knowing one’s range and being able to react and defend within that range. Shenjie could feel his kata form finishing as he relaxed his hip looking at the kid as his mouth seemed a gape while he was halfheartedly punching the bag. Now honestly, Shenjie couldn’t leave his student with such an impression that he would let him slack off, yet it felt pretty good being able to show off his kata once in a while. Figuring the middle ground of letting his student watch while he trained. Shenjie sighed, relaxing for a moment as he prepared to perform another set of kata as he knew that the sequence would require an Inazuma Kakoto Wari, which was a very difficult from to pull off without real intent.

Kata was a method devised to train killing techniques, such as the Inazuma Kakoto Wari without causing physical harm to a sparring partner or another person. Shenjie exhaled, relaxing for a moment as he visualized the sequence of movements, preparing for the instep as he knew that he would have to make sure the kick met the height he needed. He would have to make his kick almost vertical, as it would make throwing an opponent down to the ground in an actual fight much more viable. In fact Shenjie knew that there were variations that revolved around a step in or a step out; however he knew that the form he was practicing now was more favorable with insteps and the form followed that of the move with the instep. Shenjie inhaled as he first threw a punch, pulling his other arm back as he used the momentum to power up the punch before throwing a low Geri a the ground before moving his leg up, stepping forward and using his now rear right leg to lift up into the kick Inazuma Kakoto Wari. The kick would have to rise vertically, depending on the hips for stability and balance on the main leg as Shenjie leaned his body’s weight to the side to avoid losing his balance as he focused on not falling over and more importantly keeping good form as his student seemed amazed by the accuracy and flexibility of his Shisho.

Shenjie’s kick was moving in the right direction as he raised up his leg almost to the point where his forehead could touch it, and prepared to send it downward, making sure to understand the bend of the knee, the possible twisting takedowns, and the straight down ax kick motion that could be used for variations with other kata. Be that as it was, Shenjie quickly bent his leg, pulling his weight downward as he pulled his leg down before twisting it back as if returning a middle kick and reset to the starting position, this time in an orthodox lead hand as he exhaled, making sure to remember some of the kicks finer features, such as the bending of the knee as he figured it could have been much more sharp and flexible. The sharper and more accurate the kick was, the more effective in the field it would be when fighting a death match. The kick had the capability of really putting the hurt on someone if they weren’t careful. Shenjie knew this better than anyone as he had once had his collarbone shattered due to a hit from an Inazuma Kakoto Wari when he had last fought with his old sparring partner Rei, who now was wandering the country side, spreading violence that Shenjie sought to stop, but if he was going to compete with such power, he knew that he would need kicks like the Inazuma Kakoto Wari to compensate for his more passive natured fighting.

Shenjie was pleased as he finished his own training and his student seemed to complete the task he had laid out before him, his pupil’s bloody knuckles acting like a badge of honor as Shenjie finished training the kid for a bit. “Good job Kid, but now I have to go back to the village…I’ll be back in a few weeks, make sure to keep strengthening those hands.” Shenjie said as he bowed to the kid bowed to the sensei of the dojo and made his way to the exit. “Osu!” He heard behind him from the pupil as Shenjie couldn’t help but feel prideful of his student.
