[Arashi -->"The Ghost"]

After taking a long journey all the way from the Land of Snow, he was exhausted from his travels as he was glad that he had found the Muay Thai Dojo Of Apachai Hopachai. Sliding open the doors, he strolled through the dojo entrance as his cloak blew gently in the wind. Strolling through the dojo, he look a quick glance around the room, quickly discovering no one is around. While he was glancing around the room, he was amazed at the dojo's structure and compound as this would be his first time within a dojo. Traveling a long distance to arrive here in the dojo, he wanted to learn his first fighting style which he chose the Muay Thai Fighting Style. He stood there waiting for the instructor to make his appearance.

"Apa." The master said as he leaped from the ring before the new entry. This man was well built and was quite young to be a master; only twenty-eight.

"I am Apachi Hopachi!" The man exclaimed as his right hand grasped his chest. "Why are you here?"

[Arashi -->"The Ghost"]

As Arashi was looking and gazing around the entire structure of the building, looking at the ring. Suddenly a young, well built man of his late twenties leaped in the ring as he introduced himself. 'I am Apachi Hopachi, Why are you here?' Shouted the man in a loud strong voice as he had asked Arashi a question on why he had entered the dojo. Gazing at the man, he knew that he had to be the sensei of this Muay Thai Dojo. Looking at the man, he introduced himself back in a respectful manner. "I'm Arashi Kazechuushin, I am here to become your new student and learn the ways of the Muay Thai Fighting Style." Said and announced Arashi as he had his hands flat by his side and stood tall and strong before Apachi Hopachi.

The master smirked as he looked towards his new pupil. With a smile he pointed towards the ring of the dojo, which had a large scroll mounted upon the wall. "That is the code of Muay Thai. You will live, eat, and breathe that lifestyle." He said as he stared into the eyes of his young student.

"Apa!" He exclaimed assuming an upright posture as he faced the young man. "This is Jod Muay! Assume this position."

Looking at his new master, he listened carefully to every word his master said to him. 'That is the code of Muay Thai. You will live, eat, and breathe that lifestyle. This is Jod Muay! Assume this position.' Said the Master in a loud voice as Arashi was instantly put into reality that he was actually going to learn his first fighting style as of now. Being put into reality, he was asked to go into the Joy Muay position, which was the first technique he will learn. As his master quickly got into the position, he looked on as he analyzed the position of his master's feet. Looking down at his feet, Arashi moved onto the stage, as he slowly moved his lending foot ich by ich foreward to a straight position. Then, Arashi analyzed the other foot as he slowly begun to place it back to a ninety degree angle while raising the heel of the back foot. Then Arashi looked up at the master's legs, as he mimiced his legs so that his knees were straight. Looking further up, he continued to mimic the master as he positioned his body straight as well, creating and forming some sort of posture. Then he looked and analyzed more of the master's body posture and positon, as Arashi slowly begun to raise his shoulders and arms up to guard him. Then he noticed that the master has his chin lowered so its in the same level as his shoulder. Analyzing and mimicing what the master has done, he lowered his chin to his shoulder level as well. Then Arashi looked at the master's hands, seeing that the hands are raised and are at level with the face, using the forearms for protection against incoming attacks. After anayzing all of this information on just a stance, he raised his hands and locked his eyes foreward toward his master's abdomen for full view of incoming assults. Then after remaining at the stance he is now, he looked up at the master for his instructions, as he nodded his head.

Watching his new master Apachi after he just learned and mastered his first stance, which is the beginning of a new life style for him, the life style of a Muay Thai Practicer. After learning the stance for the Muay Thai style, his master Apachi moved on to what would be his real first offensive technique of the Muay Thai fighting style. Moving on, Master Apachi went on to perform the first technique. 'That was Ka Jig Khai! Your turn, Apa' Said Master Apachi as he had performed the technique. Carefully watching his master perform the first technique after learning the stance, he quickly began to analyze the technique he just performed.

Analyzing the technique very carefully, he watched and looked at every position of Master Apachi's limps are located and how he launched his attack. Continuing to analyze, he noticed that Master Apachi had moved his left foot foreword a bit while keeping his right leg back in the same position during the stance. First, Arashi quickly got into his Joy Muay fighting stance as he prepared himself for the actual training, after having done the mental part of the exercise. After going into the stance, Arashi stood next to Master Apachi as he moved his left leg froward to where his master had done.

After placing his left leg foreword, he noticed that he had to do it quickly. So afterward, Arashi repositioned his leg so both legs are back into the stance. Then just as quickly, he instantly moved his left leg foreword to the right position. 'Yes, I got it right this time.' Thought Arashi as he continue to analyze the upper-body of Master Apachi. Looking up at his upper-body, he noticed and began to analyze how his master had thrown-ed a straight left while having his right foot up on its toes. After analyzing his master's upper-body position on how he performed the Ka Jig Khai technique.

Attempting to mimic what his master had done for what seems to be so easy and performing it with ease and perfection, Arashi continued on with his training. Mimicking his master, Arashi stepped his left leg foreword as he raised his right foot a bit up to his toes. Maintaining this position, he looked at his master once again so he could memorize the positioning of the limbs and how the technique was done. Wanting to memorize the technique, he began to slowly perform the technique over and over again in his mind, picturing himself performing the taijutsu technique step-by-step in his mind. Combining the tactics of mental and physical training, he hoped that he could master this technique quickly.

Moving back to his physical part of the training while continuing to simultaneously perform the mental part of the training in his mind as well, he hoped it will speed up the training so he can more stronger and improve his taijutsu skills for combat. Nonetheless, he continued to mimic the movements of Master Apachi. Mimicking his movements after positioning his lower region of his body to what he thinks is perfect, he then continued on to mimic the upper region. After analyzing how his master throws a straight left toward where the face region of an opponent would be, he knew it was his turned to try throwing the straight left himself.

During his turn, Arashi quickly threw out a straight left. After throwing out a straight left, he feels as if he had done it wrong. Feeling he had done it wrong, he pictured the performance of the technique in his mind after memorizing how the technique is done after watching Master Apachi performed it only one time. Picturing the performance in his mind, he noticed that he had to supply more power behind the throw while also following threw with his fist instead of stopping after making contact with an opponent. After figuring out what he had done wrong, Arashi went back into training.

Going back into training, Arashi went back into the Joy Muay stance. Then he quickly performed the technique, "Ka Jig Khai!" Shouted Arashi Kazechuushin in a strong voice tone as he threw a straight left outward as he managed to follow through with the strike, while also managing to keep and place his lower region in the correct position to perform the technique successfully.

Prapai Lom Singkorn (Straight Punch)
Rank: "C" Rank, "D" Rank Variations
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Boxer Throws the straight right punch and twists the body by that punch, stepping the right foot forwards. The Boxer must consider about the distance between him and the opponent. The target is the chin or the heart of the opponent. This trick is used for attack, defense, or escape. If used for attack use both left and right alternately. To Protect: Brushes it with the fist or the arm which in the front, if the opponent boxer is a right handed fighter, the user will use the left fist or the left arm to swipe the punch out to the left side.
Special: ---
Drawback: The Boxer can throw the tiptoe to the opponent's abdomen to prevent the punch, if the opponent boxer is left handed fighter do the opposite.
Description: Picture The Straight Punch is one of the heaviest punches in all of Muay Thai. It can be used in attack and defense. If used properly it can stop your opponent right in his tracks. However if used at the wrong moment it may put the boxer in a difficult situation because if the punch misses the target the boxer will have wasted a lot of energy and will be left exposed to a counter attack. The strength of this punch comes from moving the foot forward and from the transfer of force from the leg to the moving body and finally to the fist. To further enhance the power in his punch the boxer must twist his hips, waist, and shoulder while punching. The result is a very powerful blow that draws upon the boxer's weight, the muscles of the feet, legs, hips, waist, and shoulders, and the proper technique in releasing the punch for its forcefulness. For a right-handed boxer, the stance is with the left foot forward. From this stance, the left foot slides forward. At the same time, the boxer pushes off the ball of the right foot, pushing with his body forward. Next, the boxer should turn his hips and right shoulder towards the opponent, twisting the waist simultaneously. Pivoting around the torso, straightening the right arm, and release the punch. When releasing the punch, the fist can be either at a right angle, open, or closed, with the arm fully extended and the elbow locked as the target is hit. To ensure maximum efficiency, the fist must be in a straight line as if punching through a wall. Maximum power is achieved once the left shoulder is in line with the hips at the completion of the punch. The chin should be tucked in at all times, and the head should move from right to left along with the punch. Do not lower the left arm while delivering the punch as this will expose the body to a counter attack by the opponent. Do not show in advance, by moving your han backward, that you are going to throw a straight punch. After delivering the straight punch the fist must be returned quickly to the guard up position.
Variation:

Full Body Straight Punch - This straight punch uses the force of gravity thrown in the perpendicular plane. The boxer throws himself forward and the momentum of his falling body is added to the punch making it very powerful. To practice this punch, start by standing at ease with guards up. Then move either foot forward and use the rear leg to push the body forward, similar to falling forward towards the target. TThe momentum from this movement transfered to the arm and fist, giving the punch its characteristic power.

Over the Shoulder Straight Punch - This punch is released by a sudden jerking and twisting of the body. It derives its power solely from the muscles and is less powerful than the other versions of the straight punch. It is best used in close fights and emergencies. To practice this punch, when a punch is thrown with the left hand, the right hand is automatically jerked backwards. As a result, the muscles of the shoulder, back, stomach, waist, and the two legs will work together transferring the weight from one side of the body to the other. This twist of the body prepares one for an over the shoulder punch with the right hand. This twist should be practiced so that one is comfortable throwing the over the shoulder punch using the twist of the body and the corresponding transfer of body weight as the source of the punch's power.

"Apa. Wonderful. Now lets work on your punches." Apachi said as he stepped forward and punched forward twisting his body. With two short examples he would turn to his student to see his actions.

As Arashi finally managed to learn and master the Ka Jig Khai technique, he was now hoping to go into a more advance technique, a C-Rank level taijutsu technique. As he waited for his master Apachi's instructions, he hoped that he would master this new technique and move on so he could some day master the Muay Thai fighting style. He hoped that he could some day be in the same or close to the same level of taijutsu as his teammates Gaz Hyuuga was.

Nonetheless, his wish came true as his master Apachi wanted him to now work on his punches. He wanted Arashi Kazechuushin to learn the Straight Punch (Prapai Lom Singkorn) technique. Carefully, he watched his Master Apachi perform the Straight Punch technique in front of him, as he almost instantly begun to analyze his master's movements and attitudes required for the technique.

Analyzing the technique very carefully, he watched and analyzed every movement, footwork, posture of every muscle on his master's body so he could master the technique very quickly. While analyzing his Master Apachi, he looked on as he noticed that his master had moved his left foot forward. From this very stance, he lets his left foot slide forward. Then at the very same time, Master Apachi would push off the ball of the right foot, pushing with his body forward.

He would then turn his hips and right shoulder forward, twisting the waist simultaneously, without any error and mistakes. He would pivot around his torso while simultaneously straightening his right arm for a strike to an opponent. Arashi would watch and analyze as he notice that Master Apachi's fist was close as his arm was completely straighten and extended outward while his elbow was locked tight. He watched on as his Master would strike the air as if an opponent was standing in front of him, while he continued to strike with maximum power.

After analyzing every movement and muscle of Master Apachi's body after performing the Straight Punch technique, Arashi quickly got into his Joy Muay fighting stance as he prepared himself for the actual physical training part of his two-step plan which involves theory, then work. After moving and going into the Joy Muay Stance, he moved his left foot forward just as his Master Apachi had done just moments ago.

After moving and sliding his left foot forward, he would mimic the movements of Master Apachi in which he had memorized in his head. Mimicking his master's actions, Arashi would push off the ball of his right foot, as he pushed with his body forward, just as Master Apachi had done. Then, Arashi would stop as he began to think what else his master had done. A brief moment later, he turned his hips while moving his right shoulder forward, twisting and tor-sing his waist simultaneously. After performing every action that his master had done so far, he had a grin on his face as he knew that he wasn't done quite yet.

Next, Arashi would pivot around his torso while straightening his right arm for a what he believed would be a powerful strike if he were to make impact with an opponent. Meanwhile as he pivoted around his torso while simultaneously straightening his arm, he held his fist closed while he had his arm fully extended and straighten for what he believed would be his maximum power for his strike.

As Arashi finished performing the Straight Punch technique for the first time after mimicking every muscle and movement that his master Apachi had done. Just as he finished everything, he strolled over to the sparring area where a punching bag took, waiting for he to practice and perform the Straight Punch technique on it. After strolling over to the bag, he quickly went into the Joy Muay stance, as he took several deep breaths as he wanted to calm down and relax his muscles before striking the bag with his full power.

After a brief moment later of taking the time to breath steadily and relax his muscles and body, he took one last breath as he quickly performed the Straight Punch technique. Then after striking the bag, he relieved that his punch didn't have much effect on the punching bag. After striking the bag, he took a step back as he began to think of the progress in closer detail of what Master Apachi had done when he had performed the taijutsu technique himself.

Thinking back to what he had seen, he relieved a few things that he must of missed when he first saw the technique. He realized that his master had performed the technique with a complete straight line to get the maximum efficiency. He also realized that the left shoulder must be in line with the hips at the completion of the punch. As well as his chin should have been tucked in at all times, and his head should move from right to left along with the punch.

This would make the punch more effect and heavy. After analyzing the taijutsu technique in closer examination, he now knows and feel that this training progress should go alot smoother and without any errors or waste of energy. Moments later, Arashi quickly got back into the Joy Muay fighting stance as he knew that he had no time to waste when it comes to training and if he ever wanted to reach his goal of being a chuunin and be apart of the ANBU Squad.

After getting into his Joy Muay fighting stance, he took several more deep breaths again as he prepared himself to perform the technique once again, for the second time on the heavy punching bag. Before striking, Arashi made sure to keep his chin tucked in at all times. He also began to move his head from right to left as he quickly thrust-ed his right arm forward. As he thrust-ed his arm forward, he was careful to strike and thrust his arm in a straight line toward the heavy punching bag.

Just as he thrust-ed his right arm in a straight line, he quickly moved his head from right to left while thrusting his right arm forward in the straight line. After thrusting his arm forward, he quickly made impact with the punching bag and connected. As his right fist connected with the heavy and durable punching bag, he manage to deliver an even more powerful force then he had previously done. He managed to move the punching bag further back as he made a slight imprint of his fist on the bag's surface.

"It still feels like something is wrong." Said Arashi as he took a slight step back to analyze the technique once again for the third time on the punching bag. After thinking to himself for a while, he realize that he didn't keep his left shoulder in line with his hips at the completion of his punch. After realizing that he had done wrong, he quickly took another step back to make sure he had enough room to strike the bag with the maximum power that he had deliver.

After taking a step back, Arashi took several deep breaths as he wanted this to be the final time he perform the Straight Punch technique. He wanted to move on to another taijutsu technique or maybe go back to ninjutsu. Nonetheless, Arashi was finally prepared to strike the bag with maximum power, hoping he had finally got it right this time. After a brief moment of silence as he was motionless for a brief second, Arashi performed the Straight Punch Technique on the punching bag.

As he thrust-ed his arm forward, he made sure to tuck his chin in and thrust his right arm in a straight line. He was also sure to move his head right and left while his fist was being thrust-ed. Finally, he made sure to keep his left shoulder in line with his hips as he made impact and connected with the punching bag. As he connected with the bag, a burst of dust was released from the bag as he managed to punch the bag with enough force to move it even further then before.
