Akira sat under a tree in his natural home... The water trickled from the small waterfall in his pond. Scrolls littered the ground around him as he wished to learn more release ninjutsu. A lightning scroll was in his hands as he read a technique aloud. “Lightning Stream...” The jutsu allowed Akira to fire lightning at an opponent.

He moved to a large clearing in the forest and memorized the scrolls contents... He began the handseals on the scroll. “Ox, Monkey, Dog, Dragon...” He made the handseals quickly in order. Akira was focused on deepening his ninjutsu knowledge outside of bloodlimit jutsu... He continued to make the handseals “Ox, Monkey, Dog, Dragon...”

He made the handseals again and then stopped. Akira exhaled focusing on his handseals and chakra. “Ox, Monkey, Dog, Dragon...” He focused his chakra as he felt lightning surge in his palms. He cupped his palms together ans the light arced between his palms. He focused more lightning into at as a small orb began to form in his hands.

The orb of lightning expanded to about the size of Akira's fist. Akira raised his cupped hands aiming them at a tree in the distance... Focusing his lightning release, the ball shot out from his palms electricity trailing behind it... The clearing was bright from the blue and white lightning flying through the air. Creating hard shadows in the forest besides the lightning stream.

The lightning impacted a tree leaving a deep burn mark on its bark... Smoke rose from the burnt bark in a large puff. Akira looked at the tree as trace amounts of lightning surged from his cupped hands. Akira was amazed by the lightning jutsu he had just performed... He started his handseals again attempting the same jutsu.

Akira made the handseals “ Ox, Monkey, Dog, Dragon...” He focused his lightning release in his hands as it began to surge. He cupped them together. He formed a small orb of focused lightning in his hands again. It soon expanded in his hands to the size of his fist. Akira thrust his hands forward as the all shot out from his palms.

The blue and white lightning ball flew towards the tree. Lightning trailed behind the ball of electricity leading to Akira's hands. The lightning impacted the same tree causing another plume of smoke to rise from it wood surface... The smell of a burning tree wafted in the air in Akira's home... The smell was soon removed by the ventilation of his home.

Akira felt leftover lightning crackling at his fingertips. It soon stopped. Akira looked at his hands and gauntkts for damage but saw of felt none as he opened and closed his hands. He clenched his fists and started on the handseals again. “Ox, Monkey, Dog, Dragon...” He soon cupped his hands together as the electricity surged once more. He formed it into a ball in his hands as the electricity still arced between his hands. Akira thrust his hands out as the lightning shot out. It flew through the air... as lightning trailed it coming back to Akira's still cupped hands. The same tree was hit again as it produced another plume of smoke and a few embers.

The tree sizzled as the lightning ball hit it... the embers soon died out as the tree showed its darkened bark. Akira looked at his hands as trace amounts of lightning still surged out from his palms.

When the sparks stopped jumping between his hands, Akira made a set of handsigns again. "Ox, Monkey, Dragon, Dog..." Akira focused his lightning release in his hands as lightning arced between his hands. They accellerated in his hands as they soon formed into a ball... Akira aimed at the tree and released the ball.

It flew through the air towards the battered tree. Lightning streamed behind it as it flew toward the burnt tree. After the ball hit more embers glowed on hthe tree's bark.

Akira sat in his home... the waterfall in his pond tinkling gently as Akira meditated. A scroll was on his lap as he got out his meditation. He opened the scroll with the word “water” on it. The scroll was pristine as it's jutsu's were precious to his clan. He opened it, the jutsu's were marked with a date by an ambitious Sanstomu.

Today had been the day for the water claw jutsu... Akira stood near his koi pond. He formed he bird handseal. The water swirled as a portion of the water floated separating itself from the pond. It latched onto Akira's right hand then began to form into a claw extending out from his gauntlet.

The water curled around each individual finger coming to a sharp watery blade on each digit. Akira turned to the forest in his home.. It fully covered his hand in water. The pressurized water clamped to his hand as he raised it ready to strike. Akira charged at a single tree with his right hand raised...

As he got within striking distance, Akira planted his feet and scratched down the tree's trunk. Akira felt his fingers scraping against the tree. But the claw was slightly lagged behind his actual strike. The tree was scored with a mighty slash from the start of his strike. Akira stepped back.. he was now standing in front of the tree.

Five long lashes were dug into the tree's bark each his thumb and pinky made shorter marks the middle mark being the longest. The claw stayed attached to Akira's hand as he attacked the same tree again. His next slash was angled inward from his first vertical slash. His actual nails scraped gently against the tree's bark and ridges of his first attack...

The sharpened end of the water claw soon scraped slightly afterwards creating a second slash across the tree at an inward angle. Akira moved back away from the tree as his second slash had a similar effect to the tree. The slashes criss-crossed in the bark. The water from the water claw soon lost form and splashed on the ground.

Akira walked back to his pond as he needed water to perform the justu again. He stood near the pond and made the bird handseal again. The water floated from its surface and formed around his right hand. It coated each finger with a generous amount of water coming to a sharp point at the end of each finger. Akira looked at it and flexed his finges as the water stood affixed with its pressure.

Akira turned and looked back the the tree his prior lashes being a trophy to his learning. Akira charged the tree again his right arm held out from his body as he slashed from right to left. A full horizontal set of lashes were left on the tree. Akira moved away from the tree and struck again this time stabbing his water coated fingers into the tree making five clean puntures in the tree.

Akira ripped his water claw from the tree. He admired the work he had eft behind on the tree... Three slashes and five holes about the size of his fingers.

Akira attended his Krav Maga practice again. Besides, his families fighting style he wanted to learn another fighting style. He had touched on it before but continued on the basics. He with others who were getting as the Krav Maga master walked in. He began to speak on the attittude of Krav Maga. “Thump him and dump him...” The master blurted out. “You must erase all doubt of losing from all doubt of disadvantage and losing from your mind.” He went on for a while soon asking all to pair up.

Akira was the youngest there but was paired with a older man... Only a few inches taller than Akira... But he was much more muscular than Akira. “You will alternate attacking each other... until you feel this attitude and execute your opponent precisely. “ Akira looked at the eyes of the large man. “Whenever your ready..” He said in a condescending tone. The large man came around with a hook. Akira stepped under hook his left arm around his attackers left arm.

He then swept both of the large man legs from under him. Akira brought the man to the floor, he then swung down stopping short just to simulate a hit... He let the guy up and took his turn attacking. Akira came in with a front kick aiming for the man's mid-section. It seemed to catch him off-guard as he just took the shot. The man stumbled back holding his stomach. “Do you want to try again...?” Akira said in the same tone as before. The man sprung up obviously frustrated

Akira was ready to try again as he though of another easy attack to try on the man. But he suddenly lunged at Akira. Akira lowered his shoulder charging into the man's midsection. He grabbed the backs of both of his legs as he lifted the large man off of his feet. A thump would be heard as Akira slammed the man onto his back. He scrambled to quickly straddle the man as Akira grabbed his collar and cocked his fist back ready to strike the man...

The instructor rushed over as the man looked up at Akira face.. calm yet still fierce. The instructor pushed Akira off of the large man as he helped the large guy to his feet. He was moved off to the side as soon left. Akira was re-paired with someone more his size. it was an older teenager who was very scrawny. "You did a number on that guy...?" The scrawny teen said bowing.

The teen got read as Akira was going to strike. He attempted the front kick again as the teen caught his foot. He simulated a strike to Akira's neck and the swept Akira's planted foot off of the ground. Akira hit the mat hard looking up at the scrawny teen. Akira got up quickly and was ready again.

The instructor walked around the room handing out fake plastic knives coloored brght red. The scrawny teen received one and was ready to strike. The teen stepped forward with the knife. He stabbed upwards in towards Akira's side. Akira gripped the teens forearm and curled it up over the teens shoulder. He simulated a knee to the teen's ribs and then swept him to the ground.

4/5... more actual dodging?

[~Cody]

ooc: you can't just give me that last point... whatever

Akira didn't like how he avoided the last one. He picked up the prop knife and handed it back to the teen. "please... come at me again." The teen flipped the knife in his hand as he charged in with a downward stab. Akira grabbed his wrist and turned the knife in towards the teen's own forearm. If it were real, the attacker would have cut his own forarm. Akira simnulated a strike to the teens midsection and took him down

Akira awoke in his home... birds in his indoor forest were chirping as he awoke. Groggily, Akira looked at his calendar from his bed as today was circled. He had a private lesson today with the master. Being of the bloodlimit he was given special treatment and early private lessons. Akira soon headed off to the dojo in the village.

Akira arrived and walked in as the master sat in the middle of his dojo waiting for him. “Master Yusei”, Akira said removing his cloak throwing it to the corner of the room. Yusei looked up and said, “You will be learning the final basic movement of the issunkuntou stance... Tidal Barge.” Akira bowed , “Yes” Responding to Yusei.

Yusei stood getting into his issunkuntou stance... Akira watched intensely. He seemed to shift in his stance slightly to his right. His hips moved to the left, then forward and right. He brought his palms together. He stepped forward with his right foot as he struck upwards fiercely. Yusei sighed and returned to his stance.

“It is a hard upwards strike to your opponents ribs to knock them off balance. And sometimes up into the air.” Yusei slid a wooden dummy in front of Akira who had watched Yusei perform the technique. He stood in front of the dummy as he tried to recall the earlier movements. Akira stood in his issunkuntou stance as he shifted his weight towards his right.

The right was his dominant thus his strong side. Akira brought his hips to the left then forward and right. He brought his hands together under what could be considered the dummies ribs. Akira stepped forward as he would use his right knee to loosen the dummies balance by hitting it's left knee. Akira quickly struck upwards with his palms together.

Akira hit the dummy hard as it shook violently from the strike and Akira's natural strength. Akira returned to his issunkuntou stance. Master Yusei watched intently on Akira's form. “The knee strike happens almost simultaneously with the palm hit.” He said advising Akira. He attempted the attack again. Akira shifted his stance slightly to his right.

He moved his hips to the left and then forward and right. Akira stepped forward into his opponent as he strike the dummies left knee with his right knee. As the knee strike happened, Akira brought his palms together and struck upwards into the dummies ribs. The dummy shook from the impact. Akira soon returned to his issunkuntou stance.

Yusei watched beside Akira. “The knee strike was slightly early. These movements must flow together like water. Use the knee strike to get under your opponent. Akira responded “Yes, sir” Still in his issunkuntou stance he shifted to his dominant side again. He moved his hips to the left and the forward and right. Akira brought his palms together. He stepped toward the dummy and bent his right knee. He was lower than before as he raised the same knee into his opponents left knee.

He struck upwards with his palms into the dummies ribs. The dummy shook violently from the impact. “Good that was perfectly timed.” Akira got back into his issunkuntou stance. Yusei walked away from Akira as he knew his mission to revive the Sansutomu fighting style to the world.

Akira was fatigued from his recent training. Sweat ran down his face profusely. Akira took a seat on the ground in front of the dummy. Yurei returned with a bottle of water.

Akira returned the next day, continuing his basic training in Krav Maga. The same people who attended the before arrived today. Even that guy who attacked Akira. Akira seemed to see him looking every few seconds or so like he had a plan of some sorts. The instructor arrived as the students sat in the dojo. “Krav Maga fighting style demand a solid hit to work correctly, today we will be perfecting the punch style of Krav Maga.” Dummies were lined up one for each student there. Akira picked as the instructor continued his lesson.

“The key to striking Krav Maga style is to strike the point for a half second after impact. It's a hard concept to grasp and execute.” The instructor announced. Akira and the students began hitting their respective dummies. Sharp punches hitting solid dummies rung out in the arena. He stood looking closely at his dummy as he punched it. Akira thought as he continually struck the dummy

“A tenth of a second is like that.” He thought as he struck the dummy. It seemed the key was to snap your punches. And immediately pull it back. Most punches seemed to lay on its target but Krav strike were quick and accurate. Akira kept striking trying to accurately hit the dummy and stick the punch. The instructor observed every student as the hit their dummy trying to get the timing just right, trying to feel out the quick tenth of second.

The instructor pulled out a weird armpad. He began to interrupt the students as they hit the pad. A number popped up after each student struck the armpad. The instructor announced each number for each student. Akira was coming up soon as he continued to strike the dummy in front of him trying to get it right. The big guy from before guffawed after getting a high score.
Akira looked as he got a glimpse... 327... Akira didn't know what to think of his score but It was soon his turn.

The instructor stopped in front of Akira bracing himself behind the armpad. Akira turned as he focused on snapping his punch as striking hard. Akira punched the armpad as the instructor reeled sightly. Akira pressed into the armpad with his punch... just for a second the pulled it back. The instructor checked the score as he was impressed ... “452” He announced to the class. The large man beecame frustrated at Akira toppling his score.

Maybe something more concerning the logistics...?

[~Cody]

Akira returned to striking the dummy and slightly holding his punch. The instructor moved through the class watching everyone's movement and hits. The large man continued to strike furiously at his dummy frustrated at Akira. Akira struck his dummy several times lihtly hoping his timing was right.

The instructor started going around to the students again. Each striking the armpad and given a score. Akira knew his time was coming as he continued to hit the dummy. The large man turn was up again as he struck the armpad. "455..." The large guy laughed heartily in Akira's direction. Akira's turn was up... He focused on hitting the dummy as the group watched. AKira hit the dummy... the teached reeled slightl fom the blow as he felt it through the armpad. "520..."
