The Cross/The Straight
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Determine which hand is your strong hand. Although you can throw a straight hand punch with either your left or right hand, it will be most effective if you use your strongest hand. Most right-handed fighters have a stronger right hand, while left-handed fighters have stronger left hands. Get into a basic boxing stance. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart with your knees slightly bent. If you are right-handed, your left shoulder should be pointed toward the other fighter and your right shoulder should be back. The opposite is true if you are left-handed. Keep both hands up. They should hover just under the chin, with your forearms in front of your body. This will protect you from the opponent's punches. Begin the straight hand punch from the foot. Push off your back foot and pivot toward your opponent, twisting your foot, leg, torso and shoulders. Concentrate on bringing power up from your leg, hips, trunk and shoulders and channeling it into your fist as you twist your body. If you don't pivot your body, your punch will be much weaker than if you use the correct form. Aim for the other fighter's face. Punch out in a straight line and extend the arm out all the way. At the point of impact, your feet and body should be facing the other fighter. Snap your hand back to your chin as you twist your body back to the beginning position. Remember to keep your left hand up throughout the punch so you have a guard up to protect you from a counterpunch.

"Such a boring ass fucking day."

He had to travel all the way from Amegakure to the Capitol just to find a boxing gym for training. This was such a pain in the ass for him. He knew coming here to train that his prey could run free without the worries of him killing them all off. He was pissed off today because of this short traveling distance he had to make. The gym was filled with the smell of men sweating from there training.. no scent of blood at all. He hated this. He wanted to bring out this scent, it would have given him so much more pleasure.

As he came down, the trainer of the gym approached him and had instructed him to shadow box for learning the basics. He already knew how to do the two beginning stances as well as the jab and uppercut. He found a person liking to an uppercut. To be so close to someone and to cause blood from the range. It couldn't get much better than that. Blood was the only thing going through his mind. He had pictured killing the trainer of this gym and making everyone here his prey, but that wouldn't do. Not now. Not until he had mastered this fighting style.

Walking up to a mirror, he looked at his fine tuned body and took a fighting stance. His first move to train was going to be simple, just as the second was. He only needed to learn how to do a straight and a hook. Such simplistic maneuvers for someone with a keen since of battle. First thing he was going to train was the straight. The coach had shown him how to do this, and easily done it would be. He went through the movements in his head. Step forward with his leading foot, which in this case was his left, and twist his right and throw his right fist forward, letting it naturally straighten out.

Simplicity. He followed those actions by the book and made sure he did everything he was supposed to. He stepped forward with his left foot. This was to throw his weight forward and to close a small gap in order to reach his opponent with the punch. Step two, twist his ankle. This added the entire weight of his body into the punch. Let the punch come out naturally. To do this, he would have to twist his shoulder slightly and let it flow out and strike forward. He didn't clench his fist for he wanted it to flow.

These simple steps were easily done. It wasn't as though he had mastered this punch in one try. He was just following the steps to do the punch. It did not mean that the punch was done. The trainer had watched him in the distance with a smile, seeing that he did this the right way for sure. He continued doing this multiple times, grabbing a good feel for it before going to the punching bag. His overconfident smirk stayed on his face. Even though he was learning the basics to boxing, he knew none of these men could beat him in a fight.

Instead of thinking about what he was told, he just relied on his own instincts and did what he had just practiced on the bag. The aim with his first was perfect when striking the bag, and without gloves or hand wraps, it gave his hand a nice stinging feeling that he felt in his wrist. He loved this feeling. Pain was the most enjoyable part of this boring ass training that he was doing. But mastering such a low leveled technique was no feat. It was time for him to move on to the next one, which was the hook.

The Hook
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Shift your weight subtly forward by slightly bending your front leg while elevating your lead elbow to about shoulder height. Push off your front leg to shift your weight more towards the back leg while rotating your torso in the same direction with your lead hand heading towards a specific target. For the purpose of this intro we'll aim face high. That rotation and shifting motion should be accompanied by a whipping or thrusting of the hips. If you have your left leg forward and are throwing a lead hand hook (left hand hook) your hips should thrust from left to right while executing this punch. The punch should reach its mark with tremendous force. This will happen by throwing it fast and aiming to land your fist 6 to 8 inches beyond your target. Your fist can either be positioned to have your palm facing you or the ground. Return to your original stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles.

"What's next bastard?"

Saburou asked the trainer showing no respect for the one who was gonna allow him to master boxing. Even though he needed this man in order to learn this fighting style, he still wanted his dead. How dreadful this was. Wanting everyone around him dead was no way to live and definitely couldn't be good for him. He stepped away from the bag and walked over to the mirror again. It was time for the last of the four basic skills in boxing to join his arsenal of abilities. The final thing was nothing more than a simple hook. Something that even a child could learn. He knew this because there were children in the gym training.

He entered a boxing stance once more. No sweat coming off his body at all. This training wasn't enough to do that to him. The trainer then explained this process to Saburou and walked away, only to watch from a distance. Saburou was learning at a fast pace and this led interest in everyone around him. But he was a huge man and was also fearful to the others around his. This was good. Fear was the proper reaction to be giving him. Fear that they will all one day become his prey and die by his hands and become part of his food chain.

In his mind, he took image to all the steps of this skill. The basic hook. First, like all the other moves, he had to take a step forward with his leading foot. Next he had to twist his back ankle in order to add the weight of his body to his punch. Next was making his arm horizontal and in an 'L' shape from his shoulder and twisting his entire body to swing the punch effectively. Just like the last technique, it was nothing more than simplicity. It was just a little more advanced than the last technique had been.

Now that he had the process figured out in his head, it was time to put that into physical actions. First he stepped forward with his left foot, putting his weight into that foot. Then simultaneously he shift his body by twisting his back ankle and formed the 'L' shape with his arm. This both put the weight of his entire body into his right arm in which he was swinging, but also completed the formation of the hook. He then continued on with the swing in midair and watched himself as he performed a textbook example of a right hook.

He continued on shadow boxing in the mirror, doing the left hook and the right hook, alternating the punches in great succession. He was doing really well at this and knew that even though this was just basics, that it would open up to the rest of the techniques available in the boxing world. He continued on with this training and kept throwing them consecutively. Unlike with the straight, he didn't go to the punching bag. He practiced combination's with all four of the basic punches. He had a natural feel to all of them.

Hitman Style
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A stance that is used in combat where the right arm stays down near the body instead of it being high for guards.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Place feet comfortably apart. Put your weight on the balls of your feet. You should feel "on balance" and able to move easily. Put about the same amount of weight on each foot. Bend your knees slightly. Not too much or you’ll find yourself in a crouch, which can be awkward and tiring. Position yourself slightly sideways to your imaginary opponent. With front foot, hip, and shoulders in line ( This maximizes your reach and minimizes the target area.) The Right hand should be Fist close to your chin, elbow stays close to your ribs, perpendicular to the floor. Neck and shoulders should be relaxed not "tight". The Left however should be near the body of the stomach. It should be relaxed, while the elbow is in. The whole arm should be relaxed and held by just the weight.

"Hitman style? That sounds like something I'd fucking use."

Mastering the basics only lead him to train a new style. He only wanted to train this style because of the name. 'Hitman Style'. Had a bloody feel to it in his mind. Training something in order to kill with boxing techniques would be just like him. The trainer smiled and showed no fear toward him. He just talked and talked, explaining the possibilities with going into such a style. Saburou hardly payed any attention to him explaining this styles techniques and style. He already decided on doing it. The man then noticed this and started explaining how to do the stance. This was even more simplistic than the four basic punches.

"Get the fuck away from me. I'm gonna easily do this style."

He then got into a basic stance and planned on making the adjustments from there. He had to break through his comfort zone to stand in this style. But it also better suited the man who loved the feeling of pain. Dropping his guard would be nothing short of being expected of him. First he adjusted his stance and moved his stance to the balls of his feet. He felt really comfortable like this and had a strange feeling of being even more balanced than before. He also felt he could move easier from this small adjustment he made. It was surprising to him. He moved from side to side like this to get a good feel for it.

He then made the adjustment of adding equal weight to both feet and bending his knees slightly. This gave him an even better feeling of balance. He felt that this stance was far better than the other two more basic stances. He then leaned forward slightly toward the mirror so that his reach was extended and adjusted his body so that his front foot, hip, and shoulder were in line. Everything was coming out as a textbook example of this stance. All the techniques he used came out as textbook examples. He did everything so well.

He then lowered his right hand to just under his chin, continuing his textbook example of this skill. The trainer figured that he did all this perfect because of his natural fighting prowess. Saburou was gonna be a boxing master in no time and his skills were only gonna get better. He then dropped his left hand and let the weight shake it from side to side right in front of his stomach. This stance on the upper body was so loose. His shoulders and arms were relaxed and he felt extremely comfortable like this. He rather enjoyed this stance already. His body felt so relaxed and comfortable. But that was gonna soon change when he moved on to techniques.
