Ishiro & Okami v Dex & Ronan

[The Creator]

Behold: Machu Picchu: the City in the Clouds!


Machu Picchu, a city of old. For the sake of battling purposes, the picture is facing north. There is a long, grassy plain that runs 150 meters north-south, flanked on either side by weak, stone huts. Beyond the forty meters of huts is sheer cliff, which will surely lead to one's death. To the north lies the beginning of a mountain range, and to the south: an earthen staircase that leads down from the mountains. There are steppe-like platforms on the eastern side of the grassy runway, and trees lining the north end. Another single tree lies in the southern most area.

[Ronan]

Ronan arrived at the battle field after receving a letter that he had been requested to attend. Ronan wasn't too sure of whom he would be facing but he knew it would be important not to underestimate them. On the letter he was told he would have a partner but it did not specify whom of their abilities. Ronan was only a genin and assumed that he partner would be stronger, but he didnt want to be a bruden so he would fight to protect his partner and beat his opponents.

Ronan wasnt nervous but infact a bit excited about the thirlling battle that was coming up, with little information about the area he knew he would have to do all he could to learn the geographical spectru with his sonar as fast as he could.

[Okami]

Secure under the steely grip of the winged primate Okami, he ascended to the upper buildings southwest of the central run. The pair dropped onto the edge of a thick stone wall and surveyed their hunting grounds.

The Hyuuga swept his crossbow across the plateau, already loaded with a bolt from one of the 14 repeater clips stashed within his cloak, and let it rest upon the young boy sauntering down the central run. He knew others would be sneaking about the mountaintop, but this boy was the easiest prey. 50 meters was well within his range, and he was well equipped to kill. Two thick shields hung from his back, the Tessaiga from his waist, and 50 exploding tags from various compartments in his baggy clothes. His garb was thick and white, formed from 4000 sheets of paper through his ninjutsu. It had been crafted specifically to obscure his oddly lumpy, too-thick torso.

Beside him, Okami wore the same plain uniform, sniffing the air and familiarizing himself with the scent. The air was thin here, but clean. Thick metal gauntlets on his hands scraped against the ledge as his muscles tensed up, anxious for the order to spring. The monkey had with him 4 light pouches, 4 smoke pouches, 10 kunai, 10 exploding tags and wore an advanced set of goggles equipped with liquid crystal lenses.

The missing ninja's voice boomed across the mountaintop:

"I am Jin. Which of you am I to kill?"

[Dealer's Button]

Walking upon the grounds of the forgotten Ace would venture forward. His light blue optics would look around as the Yukigakure stitched metal plate sowed onto his left glove would glisten brilliantly. The chivalrous gambler recieved the letter from the mysterious individual hoping to find answers about his dear companion's strange behavior. It seemed his assignment was to help a young ninja fend off two others. It seemed unfair so the Knave of Hearts had to make it equil. As the sunlight glazed over his left leg it would brush off of the crimson silk cloth tied around his left knee making it shin and sparkle gracefully as it stayed strapped upon his light brown dress pants. Moving his head slightly Ace's thin long light blond ponytail would sway between his shoulder blades resting upon the back of his silky brown dress vest as he looked at the 2 holsters strapped around his wrists before shifting his gaze towards the 3 attached to the right side of his hip hanging upon his belt. Each of these holsters contained 4 decks of cards. Slithering into his buttbag the chivalrous gambler would brush his gloved fingertips onto the 80 ice exploding tags lingering within.

"ello i presume your the individual im suppose to assist"[/b] Ace would say politely as he got close to Ronan. He would briefly adjust the red cloths gently tied around his neck as it hung down over his white dress shirt. Afterward he would turn his head towards the booming voice as it echoed. His light blue eyes would narrow towards the leaf ninja remembering the unpleasent conversation they had which appeared to be 50 meters away.

[The Creator]

Shitakuma Ishiro was hiding within one of the houses east of the runway, back against the inner wall of a roofless building, flanking the doorway that headed into the long courtyard. He wore tight-fitting black robes with a hood drawn tightly over the top of his head. The hood would not impair his hearing, one of the most important senses that Ishiro, the blind genin possessed, but he thought that it would look intimidating. He had heard other ninjas talking about "intimidation through looks" before, but Ishiro didn't and wouldn't know what that would ever mean.

A medium-sized gourd lay at his feet so that his back could easily rest against the wall. Filled to the brim with fine sand, Ishiro would utilize it to fight this battle. He was still relatively weak, so he thought, but was not afraid of battle. His heart beat with sheer intensity as he recalled the letter that had been addressed to him from the Hokage, leader of the Village Hidden within the Leaves.

Dear Ishiro,

You are to engage an enemy of unknown ethnicity at a mountaintop ruin. We need to establish dominance there as a village so that we may use the ruin as an overlook for the lands below. The military advantage of such a place is staggering, but we fear that this is an intelligence far too common. You will meet a contact that will aid you in your fight.

Sincerely,

and then there was the signature of the Hokage. Ishiro felt honored at this, but also confused. Why could he not send somebody of higher skill? Surely Ishiro was not the best pick for this job. Nevertheless, the blind genin did not turn down the opportunity. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. A man, it seemed, was walking through the runway. As Ishiro strained his ears it came to his attention that the man had no equipment or weapons with him, which gave Ishiro the belief that he was not a shinobi at all. He kept his wits about him, though, and expected the worse. A second shinobi approached not too long after that, equipped with rectangular holsters about his belt and more on his wrist. On his backside was a buttbag, which contained unknown contents.

He heard the latter man speak: ""ello i presume your the individual im suppose to assist".

So it seemed, to Ishiro, that there were two enemies, both in the clearing. He wondered if his contact was here yet, but was answered quite shortly. A shout bellowed over the abandoned city, making its owner known to all.

"I am Jin. Which of you am I to kill?"

Ishiro remained quiet. He supposed that that was his target, completely abandoning the way of the shinobi in order to make a direct fight. Ishiro was smart, however, and planned to stay hidden in order to strike at the most optimum time. He reached down and checked his own buttbag, making sure everything was still there. 20 Boledera, triple weights, 10 Kunai, three fragmentation grenades and one incendiary grenade. Within were also 80 fake exploding tags. He wouldn't let anyone else in on his secret, though.

Remaining silent, he wondered what "Jin" and the two enemies would do next...

[Ronan]

Ronan turned to see a very powerful looking shinobi standing next to him. When he said that he was here to assist me ronan was slightly suprised, this man seemed alot stronger than himself. - Hello, my names Ronan - he gave a small smile and started looking about the environment. He crouched down and performed the handseals needed for his SONAR jutsu and as he did so his eyes changed from the shiny silverish gret to a deep intence purple. Ronan clicked his tongue several times to help him scan the immediate area, he tenced and prepared his arm harp for his jutsu when he saw 2 figures quite strongly in his sonar and one more a bit further away and still hazy. Then a voice came booming across the mountain top claiming, quite arrogantly, his superiority.

Ronan turned back to his new comerade with a slight tone of worry he looked at him and said - There's two people out there and also what looks like a large monkey. - Ronan braced himself preparing himself for an attack which he knew would come inevitably, he refused to attack first he wanted to know his opponents strengths before anything else.

Sonar" - Currently 30 Meters
Rank: D-C ranked
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu

Every time learned in C-ranked increase the distance to 25 meters, With a maximum of 150 meters.
Limit: Must have sound release

[Okami]

Ace Debutler Onta. That man's arrival was as good an answer as Jin was likely to receive, and the snow ninja seemed to be allied with the boy. He expanded his senses, amplifying his sight and hearing to confirm that the pair's private conversation was as he thought. At that time his Byakugan unveiled a third presence crouching in a stone hut. Jin almost missed the days when he relied on stealth and deception, when he could still be killed by mortal men. He knew he'd eventually have to kill the sneak, but taking down the team of two came first.

Introductions over, the boy tried to hold a strategy meeting with his partner before attacking. Jin had been holding off his assault to acquire information about the pair, but this was more than he could bear.

"Fool. Think you have time to chat?"

Disregarding the crossbow aimed at the boy, Ace had lined himself up side by side with his partner, stepping into the line of fire. Jin slipped five more bolts through his repeater clip with impossible speed, and instantly loosed them at about 300 m/s. Aiming 6 bolts precisely was all but impossible, but Jin managed to keep the spread sufficiently contained.

If Jin knew Ace, he wouldn't dodge and let the boy behind him eat the brunt of the attack. He'd have to block. That's why one of the bolts was capped with a special head. The Greater Ice head would encase 5 meters in ice regardless of defences, and would even trap limbs in ice up to 15 meters away.

Okami recognized the attack pattern. Jin lay down covering fire so the monkey could approach. The creature kicked off the stone wall so hard he pulled a chunk of stone with him, wings beating furiously to muster every ounce of speed. He chose a path out of the direct line of fire, skidding to the ground ten meters left of the explosion's centre, coming to rest between 2 globby patches of ice.

Ikimono Bouchou (Animal Hearing)
Rank: C
Skill: Skill/NinJutsu
Effect: A Shinobi, or a warrior is capable of gaining the capability of that of the animal kind when it comes to the sudden sense of hearing. The sense of hearing is quite different as the user must be with the animal kind in question for a period amount of time before this is capable of occuring. The user must concentrate along their inner ears by using their chakra. By doing so their hearing becomes more, defined, but not close to that of an animal. Just think of it where the user is capable of hearing better. There is no other way to explain this however other then their hearing is more defined, they can not use this to see however.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have. Depending on the animal companion the sense of hearing may become unbareable depending on the type of creature it is. Also hearing that is that of a bat, or any other animal that enables a user the capability of helping them see through hearing does not occur within the user.
Description: ---
Limit: This technique must be known multiple times. The user however must have a Helper that is according to the correct scent of hearing. What this means is if the user has an animal Helper of the Canine breed, then they are capable of having the sense of hearing in similar form towards that type.

Effect: Allows the user
Special: ---
Drawback: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of Analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a do-jutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an illusion .
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest Taijutsu, the Ju-ken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 Degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of One hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of B Rank Level Training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of Four Hundred Yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of A Rank Training.

The young child talk however Ace's attention was on the leaf shinobi. He would remain silent as his light blue eyes glared at the individual coldly. Immediatly cards would bust forth from one of the holsters upon his hip. Fiercely they would surge upward as they stayed close to their master. Noticing the individual messing with his crossbow the chivalrous gambler would mentally direct his growing mass of cards to linger near his left gloved hand. As soon as the bolts were launched the Knave of Hearts would swing his hand across. The huge mass of 60 cards would simply surge across covering Ace and his allies vessels as chakra permeated throughout their structures. If this was succesfull it would block the arrows that was directed towards the duo.

Although when this happend the arrow head would trigger. The force wave would inflects its damage upon the card shield although that was not the concern at the moment. Noticing the land near the card shield was becoming frozen as it approached the two he would quickly bend his kness before taking rapid jumps backwards making his vessel simply become a blur moving back 10 meters keeping away from the incoming freezing wave. Once reappearing after the first shunshin he would perform a quick chain of handseals as 4 ice exploding tags and 1 card lingered out of their chambers. Quickly and gracefully the card and exploding tags would be crafted into humming birds chakra quickly permeated through thier vessels. Although the Knave of Hearts knew the individual was out of his 50 meter range the opponet's animal companion was in range still. Immediatly reacting to their master's mental command the 1 reguler and 4 special hummingbirds would surge towards the beast while their master continued to jump back quickly avoiding the ice wave.

[The Creator]

Shitakuma Ishiro listened as a number of crossbow bolts came into hearing range. Ishiro would then listen as one of the ninjas that he was targeting would bring up what the blind genin thought to be cards to block the bolts. Suddenly, however, the bolts exploded in a fiery ice that sent the card-ninja flying backwards in defense. The Shitakuma would then sense a beast, what seemed to be a flying monkey, come towards them all. Ishiro thought that this would be a good time to reveal himself now. Strapping on his gourd, he would begin to plan.

Shitakuma Ishiro would string out handseals, while still in his hiding place, creating four Sand Clones, capable of walking, punching, and other basic movement. Ishiro would send all four of them outside, out into the open. The four would arc along a path that would eventually end in hitting the enemy's left flank (assuming that they were facing Okami). Because Ishiro was some 30 meters away, the Sand Clones would reach them after not much of a run. Ishiro, a full second after the clones exited the building, would then also exit, running up in an arc-like fashion towards the right flank. Hopefully it would catch the enemy shinobi off guard in order for the cross-bow ninja, or the beast, to land a hit.

Ishiro, while running, would form more handseals. Because he was a taijutsu non-specialist, it would take him a little longer than usual to reach his target, but that didn't matter. Utilizing a large portion of his sand, Ishiro formed a giant hand made of sand that could easily crush an unknowing shinobi.

Ishiro's sand hand would appear five meters to Ishiro's 10:30 o'clock. It would be only 5 degrees from parallel to the ground. It would then make a sweeping motion towards the non-card enemy. If it hit, it would send the enemy flying.

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 [15 Meters]
Rank: "D" Rank (x2)
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. Reasons why is because of how each is constructed. 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.

[Ronan]

Ronan jumped back when the cards flew into the air before grwoling at himself as he thought - Not the time to chat -. When the ice bolts erupted freezing an are ronan lept back even more and as he did so his stil active sonar picked up on 5 people runnning around trying to flank them. The 5 had all appeared from the same ruined house where a single person was so ronan instantly thought ... clones.

He was not aware of the strengths that the clones posessed but when he aw the one who left a second after them had an arm of sand coming out of his gourd. Ronan assumed he was the original guy but also knew that the clones could be an annoyance. Just as ronan was about to turn to try take out the clones the massive arm of sand swept through the are straight at him. Instictivly he tried to leap above it but the arm was fast and his foot got swiped out, ronan span in the air before rolling out the landing.

Ronan kept the sonar going through all of this and landed with the clones only meters away from him. A quick glance showed the arm sweeping away and the other man and monkey were focusing on his partner at the time. Ronan returned his gaze to the clones and performed his Yellow Bolero jutsu directly at the clones with his Flat note art substitution ready should an attack come from behind.

Ixeroborero (Yellow Bolero)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A blast of sound waves enhanced with chakra tear apart the area at which they are directed.
Special: The flute song "Yellow Bolero" is required to be played, though any instrument may be used.
Drawback: The range of this technique is only about 20 feet, and must stem from the song's source. Although it slowly becomes larger the further the distance, it also become weaker and slower. The song must be played in order to use this technique, and although attacks can be flung at any time, messing up mid-attack will dissipate the attack. The tune need not be played perfectly, but errors in the notes require strong concentration to overcome without loosing the jutsu's effect.
Description: The user plays a fast paced tune that expresses anger and anxiety. At will, the user may launch from the instrument a wave of sound that can rip through the ground with ease. It begins the size of the instrument and grows slowly, beginning exceedingly fast but rapidly slowing as the wave increases with size. Once it reaches about 20 feet, the wave becomes too large and weak to sustain, and dissipates. This song is written to overlap "Gray Waltz" well.
Limit: Sound Release

[Okami]

[OOC: That sonar tech isn't really a continuous thing Ronan. A few handseals, a few sonar emissions, and you can understand the general lay of the land even where you can't see. Constant sonar is more the domain of the Shitakuma.]

It was almost too easy. Not bothering to fire another bolt, Jin stepped back off the wall and dropped down into the maze of huts. Nobody would be able to see him, but his Byakugan wasn't defeated so easily.

He stuck the butt of his crossbow in his armpit and made a few handseals as he jogged forwards through the maze, intent on scrambling his location. It wasn't that he needed to hide while his targets remained unable to fight back, but he'd be able to have a lot more fun if nobody knew what he was doing.

"I changed my mind you useless little turd. Maybe if I bring Jin your head he'll forgive me and let me live."

Jin spoke, but nobody would hear even a whisper of it from around 50 meters away. Instead, they'd hear Ace speaking the words, speaking to his new "partner." Jin's handseal connected minds, so that whatever Jin spoke, Ace would as well. Could that haphazard team of two survive such a bold declaration of enmity?

____________________________________________

Okami knew what exploding tags were, and he had seen his master use them in a similar fashion countless times. They didn't worry him.

He came down in a run, leaping sliding chunks of ice and gaining on Ace's backwards hops. All five of the created birds came at him at once, and that was the paper user's mistake. The creature knew their range, and he let them come. When all five were one meter away from his body, just as they were entering a dangerous range, he took off with a flicker. Leaving an after image for the birds to pierce, he brought himself 10 meters forwards, behind the Ace's line of sight. A second flicker brought him directly behind Ace, who was still mid-air in his backwards leap, and would be just beginning to speak if Jin's technique had been successful.

Okami's attack was a well practiced combo, quick and powerful when the opponent had few methods to dodge. His first punch was a full body straight, putting all his weight into the single right aimed at the middle of Ace's spine. If it connected it would stun for two movements, leaving the target open for more. Next came a left hook to the liver, aiming to drive the air his prey's body. The finisher was a powerful corkscrew blow, twisting as it came and tearing through defences. Only then would he allow Ace to touch the ground.

Cupid Mouth Jutsu
Rank: D C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: This jutsu makes the caster able to speak what the target is speaking. At C-Rank the user can make another person speak what the user is saying.
Special: Handseals, Triangle Hand seal
Drawback: The user must be able to at least see the target. If ever the target goes beyond the users visible site the jutsu cancels out. The user cannot move while the jutsu is in effect
Description: The jutsu causes a mental link to establish between the user and the target. The user may then speak the same words the target is speaking, so the user can know what conversation the target is having. If learned at C-Rank, the Yamanaka can force his or her target to speak the words the Yamanaka is speaking, to communicate messages or for other means.
Limit: Must be part of the Yamanaka clan

Mastery: Outside Fighter
Rank: B A
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Outside Fighter are the Tacticianist. They like to stay on the outside space of fighters letting the fighters come to them while using their foot work to avoid attacks. The Outside Fighter has two effects. First Effect is that they hit faster than normal fighters. This means they can hit more times in a single movement then a normal fighter. The second fighter is because they need to use their foot work and since they like to stay along the outside of fighter’s circles they have a higher experience in blocking. This means that an Outside Fighter's blocking capability becomes stronger than other fighters.
Special: ---
Drawback: This Mastery does not stack with other masteries dealing with attacking multiple times in a single movement. This Mastery works only on striking techniques using only the Fists. This Mastery works with Universal Techniques, however does not stack with attacking multiple times in a single movement Techniques that increases the user's striking mobility. This Mastery only works if user has a good footing and proper stance, as well as the guard that's being used.
Description: When the user learns this kind of mastery, their blocking abilities become better, while their speed increases as well. This is done because the outside fighter needs to be able to block hits, following with a quick counter, or be able to hit the opponent multiple times wearing him down. When the user first learns this technique every boxer, or every fighter that fights in hand to hand combat is able to attack with their left, and their right to take up a single movement.

"B" Rank Mastery - Gaining 500 Training Points - User is able to attack two additional times with their lead hand (the hand that jabs) while they are able to attack one more time with their strong hand in a single movement. The blocking capabilities increase as well by .2 per rank.

"A" Rank Mastery - Gaining 1000 Training Points - User is able to attack one more time with their lead hand, and another time with their strong hand. Their blocking abilities increase as well by an additional .2 per rank.

Limit: Must have mastered Bokushingu (Boxing) by gaining 500 Training Points.

Effect: A Mastery in which a user is capable of hitting with great strength in which feels normal towards the user, however creates a larger impact against the opponent.
Special: ---
Drawback: This Mastery does not stack with other masteries. This Mastery works only on striking techniques using only the Fists, Elbows, Knees, and Feet. This Mastery works with Universal Techniques, however does not stack with strengthening Techniques that increases the user's striking ability.

Description: A Muay Thai Master is known to knock out a Bag holder when holding a Gym Bag. This technique increases the user's ability to hit stronger.

"B" Rank Mastery - Gaining 500 Training Points - Each Rank is increased by One Rank. This means a "D" Rank technique has the destructive power of a "C" rank technique, and a "C" Rank technique has the destructive power of a "B" Rank Technique.

If a Technique is an "S" rank technique, the amount of damage does stack as it starts by the lowest rank. This means that the user would hit as if hitting with an "S" Rank technique with an additional "D" rank of power. If a user is knocked out of a proper stance that allows him to use his whole body in an attack the mastery does not work for the user. Note Each Muay Thai Mastery takes away One Boxing Mastery for the Inside Fighter.

Prapai Lom Singkorn (Straight Punch)
Rank: D D (Variations)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The Boxer Throws the straight right punch and twists the body by that punch, stepping with the right foot forward. 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. 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.

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. The momentum from this movement transferred to the arm and fist, giving the punch its characteristic power. When connecting against the opponent's torso area will stun the opponent for 2 movements.

Variation: 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. When the 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. This technique hits as a "B" Rank technique instead of the basic "C" Rank.

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. (If user knows The Cross/The Straight in Boxing, or Cross-Body Punch in Krav Maga the user does not have to learn the base Technique.)
Limit: Must learn from a Muay Thai Master.

Wanorn Hak Dan
Rank: D (Liver Blow)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head or to the opponents ribs.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The Boxer throws the Transversely punch from right to left to the opponent's jaw or ribs. An attack from peripheral vision. If the opponent does not have the right hand up by the chin, its light's out. Cracking the jaw, the head is twisted; the brain becomes disconnected from the body, which falls like load of potatoes. The the rear hand is tight, hand against the rear side of the chin. It begins with the hips solidified by the lead foot that bears 90% of the weight. The torso torques, the elbow lifts, the forearm makes a right angle with the lead arm, the palm is facing the mat, the chin is tucked by the lead shoulder, the rear hand against the rear chin. This attack is practiced 10,000 times under watchful eye. Throwing a lead hook the proper way is one of the hardest things for a beginning fighter to do. It is not a natural motion that is used in everyday life. Best to use the whole entire body when throwing. This trick is used for attack, defense, or escape.

Variation: Lead Hook To The Head - Hands up. Elbows in. Chin down. Forward bob position immediately after a cross. Shift the weight onto the back foot as the user turns out the lead heel. This will telegraph the blow. Lead shoulder and lead hip turn in virtual unison as the weight is shifting onto the rear leg. Tight fist. There is no Wrist in a hook. Lock the wrist, lining up the fist with the forearm. Throw the hook in a tight arc. The range of the hook -- how far away the target is -- determines whether to use a horizontal or vertical fist. The rule is as follows: if the target is outside the elbow range, then use a vertical fist. Inside elbow range, then horizontal fist is all right. Do not confuse the two, though, for if user throws a hook with a horizontal fist outside the elbow range, user will break the pinky and ring finger knuckles and/or the pinky carpal at the wrist.

Lead Hook To The Liver - There is nothing that slows down the opponent quicker than a well placed body punch. A lead hook to the body is one of the easiest ways to stop and opponent in their tracks. The liver is one of the largest vital organs and its effect is sickening, as it shocks the liver, the largest gland organ, and causes the victim to lose much of his fighting 'drive', and causes the air to escape his body.

To Protect Wipe the left hand back. (If user knows the The Hook in Boxing, or Hook Punch in Krav Maga the user does not have to learn this Technique.)
Limit: Must learn from a Muay Thai Master.

Corkscrew Punch
Rank: B
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A punch that looks and feels as if the user is hitting like a Corkscrew.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used once per movement.
Description: Kid McCoy is universally given credit for creating this punch which was well known for the cutting damage that it would inflict on his opponent's faces. It is punch that is in the same league as the Counter so far as power is concerned. It most closely resembles a Straight, but is thrown inward while twisting the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The Corkscrew uses the same science as that of a bullet firing out of a gun, where the combination of a spinning projectile and excessive force causes a greater impact. The motions involved are similar to that of a Screwball in Baseball and this analogy is fitting as the punch has a noticeable "wind-up" sequence that makes it somewhat foreseeable. When the user hits with this technique the opponent gets cuts along their bodies and begins to bleed from the cuts.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Four Punching Basics

ooc- will post later tonight or early in the mornin busy today sorry
