Dropkick
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A dropkick is defined as an attack where the wrestler jumps up and kicks the opponent with the soles of both feet, this sees the wrestler twist as they jump so that when the feet connect with the opponent one foot is raised higher that the other (depending on which way they twist) and the wrestler fall back to the mat on their side, or front. This is commonly employed by light and nimble wrestlers who can take advantage of their agility.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( ?? Resuringu)

Godric's coach started laughing maniacly as he showed another move. Godric had to chuckle as he started to attempt this. Taking a running leap toward the target, he pushed his feet out and let them slam into the target. It must have been a specticle as Godric rest into the charging position once again. Godric took the charge and did the same thing but he felt he was not transfering any damage to the practice dummy. He flopped to the ground and hit hard there as well which he felt was a mistake.

He knows he could jump good, so Godric reset once again and took a running charge. Leaping into the air and then swinging backwards. His legs shot forward as he was basically a flesh bullet with his legs targeting the practice dummy. He slammed into the dummy once again and the same result happened. Then his coach gave some advice about using the target as if a spring board, that way all your weight goes into it. So Godric kept this in mind as he moved back from the target.

Taking another running start Godric ran then lept into the air. He swung his feet forward and had the thought of landing on the chest. This way his body will naturally react to slamming against the target with his feet. He could feel the solid connect of his feet against the chest as it nearly broke. Godric was a large person and this was so very effective. But Godric had to repeate the process a few times over. He needed this to feel natural as he crashed into the target over and over again.

Shoulder Block
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A shoulder block sees a strike an opponent with their shoulder usually ramming their shoulder, by keeping their arm down by their side, into the opponent's shoulder or abdomen of an opponent running towards them. However, often this will see a larger wrestler stand still and have the other wrestler run towards the larger one to try an execute the move only to get knocked down. The shoulder block often is used to display the size and strength of a wrestler, with the larger wrestler challenging another to run off the ropes and hit the move. This usually sees the other wrestler attempt to charge at the larger one several times only to see their attempts have no effect, or get knocked down themselves. A slight variation on this called the body block which is also typically used by large wrestlers, this sees an opponent run at the large wrestler who would simply engulf the charging opponent by swing his/her arms round and forcing the opponent to impact the wrestlers entire body.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( ?? Resuringu)

Godric then was instructed to run at his coach. Not wanting to hurt his coach he protested only to preform running at him cause, he was his coach. Thus his coach stopped his advanced by lowering the shoulder and checking his gut. It hurt and his coach noted he better have been paying attention. Godric stood up and his coach was charging at him right away. So ruthless is what he thought, as his coach crashed into him, Godric braced for impact as this happened. But his coach noted what he did was good, just do what he had done while doing that.

Not exactly knowing what that meant Godric got up again and his coach was coming at him at full charge. Godric lowered his shoulder then let his body do its thing. Again his coach bulldoze over him like it was nothing. His coach gave him a few pointers as he noted his stance. Resetting Godric was not liking this at all. But continuing as he could see the application of such a thing. Godric once again lowered his shoulder as his coach rammed him. this time he had a foot behind him as he took the force of the strike. Godric staggered this time rather than falling down.

This was progress but not yet there. Again was all Godric heard his coach as he lowered his shoulder once again. Godric got in the right stance and then he felt his body tense up. His coach bounced off him like a fish flung out of water. It was amazing the feeling and his coach got up and noted some praise. So once Godric got the hang of it, he had to do this a few times before he felt it was right every time. He could feel the power coming behind the block and was actually amazed realizing it was defensive and potent at the same time.

Backflip Kick
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: While the wrestler has his or her back to the opponent, he or she performs a standing backflip and hits the opponent in the head with one or both his or her legs, with the wrestler usually landing on his or her hands and/or feet facing downward.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu)

Godric was shown something interesting. He was suprised his coach could preform a backflip, but what was important was how his coach hit the training target in the head with his feet. Godric was told to preform this. So he did, it was a standard backflip, something shinobi are known to do quite well. Then with a snide comment he was told to do it against the practice target. Thus Godric went and turned away from the practice dummy just as his coach did. Preforming the jump, Godric found himself flat on his face.

Godric had fell down to the ground in perhaps comedic fashion. His coach laughed before telling him that it wasn't so easy with the strike, and a few notes to help him. The backflip was an easy manuver but Godric resetting looked upon the practice dummy and took one of the things he told him. To relax his ankles and leet the weight of the legs do the striking. So he tried this and felt the hit. This time he did not fall flat on his face and he flet relatively solid doing this. It was actually uplifting to do this but his coach noted there was no force behind the strike.

Godric could see where he now needed to increase his damage in the technique. He started to do backflips over and over letting his feet graze over the practice dummy. Once again this was an art of practice and with each attemt he could feel his strength improving upon it. Each strike he could feel the force increase upon the target. Each strike he felt he could put more weight upon his feet to strike the dummmy. The key to this was actually hitting key points of the body to inflict more damage.

Godric was back but he wanted to try something else.

Godric took up a blank notebook and started to scribble down some things. He was checking some references of his rituals. He seen that he could potentialy cut corners of rituals in general. But some practice was needed. He was looking through the rituals he had and writing down some basic forms. He was working out simpler lines to work into the whole thing as he was going over them. He started to notice some patterns that he could take advantage on. As he sat on the bent looking through his rituals.

He could see the lines were simplistic but intricate. Noticing some of these patterns he went through each and took some notes. When ever he seen some angle that looked similar to another he took a note of how it was interacting with other lines upon the seal. The symbols that were drawn in them also denoted some things that were similar. There was a certain balance that he could see from some of these things and he took notes in his notebook about them. He studies the patterns and could see if he drew this one thing he needed to draw another.

It almost was like it's own language and he was just starting to learn how to write it. Though he did know, or rather memorized some of the seals, he could recall some of them simply from memory. But this took time, and he wanted to rather read what he wanted to do and write it out. Thus he was starting a short checklist to try and push this method to become quicker. The mind was interesting on how it could connect some of these things, and he was writing notes down as he found some of these patterns. Godric could see some of the angles that he wrote down accompanied some of the symbols involved with the seals.

Godric continued to study his notes and rituals. He was starting to get the hang of simply writing them out in the correct sequence. Practice was another huge portion of what he was doing. To become quicker at this, he continued to find the patterns in the symbols. He was slowly making progress toward in a way cutting corners, but this was more mental corners than it was anything else. He could feel his memory tugging at him as he recyled the symbols in his mind. The best way to retain long term memory.

Godric practiced some of the patterns over and over again. But he was finding one can only attain so much knowledge in one sitting. He took a bit of a rest before returning. Back to his studying as he drew out the symbols. Some had curl marks and others looked rather ridged. He was starting to almost have pictures in his mind as he drew some of these out. But sphacial reasoning was another good tactic he could use as he memorized some of the patterns. He could imagine something like a cat as he drew out some more angular portions of the patterns.

As Godric went along he associated some of the patterns with other things. Like the Kusagakure tower felt very ridged, or like a boulder attributing to some more circular patterns. Soon he was starting to realize the language of the rituals themselves. They were almost pictures of what they were trying to achieve. Much like some of the handseals almost mimiced what the chakra mold was turning out as. He tried something then as he put the pencil to paper and preformed a handseal with the pencil in hand. He noticed some similarities toward the symbols and what the pencil drew. This felt like a breakthrough.

Godric was thrilled when he did this, taking a pencil in hand and let it glide upon the notebook as he preformed a few handseals with them. the symbols and lines looked similar to what one would find in a ritual, in fact he could see some of the symitry there as well. Though he had to hold it a certain way for this to happen. He started off with the common handseals as he did this. Just now he realised that his one handed handseals were coming in very handy as he drew with that hand while prefomring the handseals. It was a very interesting thing to do.

He wondered if he could atually draw one of the rituals like this and looked one up. Tracing the lines with his pencil then finding out which handseals most likely followed those lines. He could see some of the handseals worked and some did not. Also the order in which he did them was vital as he did this. It was much like molding chakra and creating somehting out of molded chakra, any kind of chakra technique. He continued on though his work perhaps looking more and more like scribbles.

Godric continued this practice until he found just the right mix to create something close to this ritual seal. He was trying different methods as well as perhaps he was not holding the pencil correctly. And sometimes he had found some symbols wihtin his scribles and kept that in mind as one of the patterns that he noted. The flow of the work was also coming together, yet he had to restart a new page in his notebook. Ripping that one away and simply throwing it to the ground he started over so that rather than memorizing the sequence he could make it feel more natural.

With this new sheet of paper Godric got right to it. He knew the seals he wished to preform while holding the pencil and it to the paper. He could see the outline start coming together as the seeming chicken scratch seemed to materialize into something that is making more sense. He was watching as the symitry was starting to take shape with the symbols as well. He was refering back to the ritual constantly as he continued his work. He was becoming more and more pleased with this method. Finally he completed the ritual seal drawing using this method.

Thus Godric inspected it and noticed some flaws. There were small marks that he was missing upon the work that he did. But he was noticing something. Another pattern was emerging with this seal and the other ritual seals. He noted that these were transition marks and were similar with the other rituals. In fact now that he was looking at these he could see the generalizations of the other patterns, the larger ones. He marked the transitions down and he practiced a few. This were quick hash marks and connecting lines, and the were similar throught the other rituals.

Practicing these he took a blank piece of paper and in a way both cataloged them and practiced them as he went along. He practiced them then made a few symbols to connect them together. Once again the seal was becoming more and more visiable. It was interesting method that he was doing but he noticed his hand was cramping with such delicate movement. This was extremely exhausting toward any kind of long term use. He figured as he continued to practice that this method was something he could only preform maybe once during the course of a day. But as he was doing it, the speed was frightening compared to the normal preperation of such ritual work.

Description: User chooses one of their natural weapons. While using the selected Natural Weapon (Claws, Bite, Tail, etc), the user can apply the effects of Techniques that have Improved Unarmed Strike as a Limit. Can be learned multiple times. Each time learned user may pick a different Natural Weapon they possess.
Limit: Universal TaiJutsu Technique. Must know Improved Unarmed Strike.

Godric went back over to the practice target. He looked down at his claws. These were new to him and he slashed out at the practice target. The target left a bit of damage on it but he could see the potential. Now unlike a punch this was more like weilding a katana, except much smaller. He felt his fingers need to be far more stiff to conduct such an attack.

Taking another slash Godric was experimenting with this claws. He coudl feel his fingernails bite into the the matt as it scraped across. He did this again excpet with more force and could feel the strain on his fingers. Something struck him as an idea formed. He needed to angle his fingers correctly or rather bend them correctly so when they bit into the target they would scoop better and he could dig and rack across better. The strike this time felt a lot more fuller, it bit deeply and he could see the gauges within the material. He had to pick some of it out of his nails as he did this.

But it didn't quite fell enough. Godric envisioned a better way with body positioning. Always one of the more crutial key notes from a strike. But he could add some of his weapon knowledge from this. Rearing back his arm, he twisted his hips around. Then striking out as a large slash across the totami mat. The scrap felt vicous as he went across the mat. He reset and tried it again as now he was simply practicing his form. Over and over he did this as to make sure he knew how to do this every time. His muscles were learning instinctually how to do this as well. Practicing in this method ensured he would know when the time was right.

Big Boot
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This is usually done with the opponent charging towards the wrestler, using the opponent's momentum to deliver the wrestler's boot to the upper-body or head. This move is commonly performed by tall wrestlers to enhance its view as a strong attack even though the wrestler themselves are not moving and the opponent is running into their foot, and due to that their height makes it easy for their leg to reach the head of normal sized wrestlers.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( ?? Resuringu)

Godric found his coach once again. It was time to start up again. Already his coach was laughing as he was instructed to run at him. As he did, his coach booted him in the chest, and that was saying something. Godric was almost out of breath. Of course he was paying attention without needing to be told. Godric noticed a few things but before he could even think about it his coach ran at him. His timing was terrible and Godric fumbled as his coach ran right over him plowing him over with a closethline.

Reseting Godric got back up and was in the ready position right away. He waited as his coach came running right for him. As he was shown Godric kicked up his foot and aimed it for the chest of his coach. But as the connect happened his coach once again shot right threw him. It was rattling for sure as he was slammed against the ground. His coach helped him up then started to back up. Godric knew what this was getting at though as he also reset. As his coach came charging Godric shifted his weight.

Using his own weight Godric lifted his boot and aimed it once again for his coaches chest. There was an impact and Godric didn't know what happened as he was on his back once again. A few notes from his coach and he was back on his feet. With another attempt Godric had it down. He could feel his weight being instinctively leaned into the slam as he booted his coach in the chest. It was his first good attempt and his coach started to reset. Godric knew this was the point where he repeated it until he could do it every time. He did find mostly successes and was finding it easier and easier every time.

Legsweep
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The wrestler drops to one knee and extends their other leg, then quickly pivots their body around, using their extended leg to knock away the opponent’s legs.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( ?? Resuringu)

Godric was shown something knew. It was called the leg sweep and his coach was already preforming it on him. After a few takedowns, Godric started to attempt it. He was already told his form sucked and that he needed to correct a few things. Godric was told he needed to get lower and become faster. He tried just that and went slowly as his coach went through it step by step. Then his coach told him to try it out against him. Thus Godric tried it, and his coach promptly lept over it.

It was too slow and he went in for another shot. But again was thwarted by his large size. But then his coach told him that was his advantage as his reach was much larger. Godric thought about this for a second and understood. So he tried again and kicked out, paused and then swept. His coach actually took on to a single leg and almost staggered. He was on the right track but now he had to make his movements even less predictable and swifter. This took some body positioning as all his weight was on one leg and he used it as a pivot point.

Using his weight to swing his leg around actually created a lot of force to the leg sweep as well. This was interesting as Godric kept practicing at it. The more he was doing this the more use to it he was getting. He could feel his speed increasing as well as he varied up how he was doing it. Testing out how his body could actually preform it. With the different steps and different ways of doing this he found he was becoming more proficient. There was a few times he had caught his coach off guard and able to pull it off. His coach noted it and told him to do more. So in any event he continued this action for quite some time.

High Knee
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: An attack in which a wrestler will charge towards their opponent, then raise their knee or jump up so that their knee hit the opponent usually into the side of the head or face.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( ?? Resuringu)

Godric was told to line up. Godric was shown another attack as his coach ran at him and kneed Godric in the face. It was a challenge to pay attention but he thinks a jumping knee attack was used. Thus he was pointed in the direction of the practice dummy this time. Godric was simply too big and it would be dangerous otherwise. So taking his first attempt and Godric charged the practice dummy. At the last moment he lept with his dominante knee. The practice dummy rattled, but his coach said he had far more potential than that.

So resetting Godric tried it again to see if he could do it this time. What he found out was that he jumped at the thing and felt a bit more force this time. what he had done was lept at the thing and swung his knee forward giving him more momentum. The only thing was that his aim was off and rather than the dummies head, he hit the shoulder instead. Trying again Godric charged at the practice dummy and lept into the air. He was a bit more practiced this time so he hit his mark. The dummy rattled and he could feel the shake of the force behind it.

That was an issue he was yet trying to figure out. But with a few pointers from his coach he was back on track. Godric reset and started his charge. Leaping at the last second his knee was swung up into the air as he aimed it into the practice dummy. What his coach had told him was keep the knee stiff and somewhat close to your body so that your weight plays a huge part in slamming into the target. And he felt just that as he slammed into the practice target. But his aim was off and he had to repeat this process over and over again. Practice makes perfect.
