Tsurutsuru Kobushi (Slippery Fist)
Rank: E
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A low stance that relies on upward motion and momentum.
Special: None
Drawback: Most of the user’s attacks are ground based, limiting their airborne range.
Description: A fairly underrated stance that was developed in Iwa sometime ago. Due to the crouched position the user must take to perform this, many ninjas and other interested people find it uncomfortable and unwieldy. This stance focuses on heavy movements based on focused momentum behind every blow. Users of this stance have found it helpful to wear shoes and gloves that slide easily on many surfaces, but still do not slide off of a target.
Limit: Universal TaiJutsu
The night breeze blows through the leaves, swirling the mist. A figure emerges from the darkness calmly walking at peace with his surroundings. Shini walks to the middle of the clearing, he has been to this place plenty of times before. Shini looks to the sky making out the full moon just behind the few clouds that were actually in the sky. He went over the routine in his head, it was a simple stance after all, looking down at his feet he frowned at his shoes. Shini had heard from many people that it was best to have shoes on that had some traction but not alot.
Shini made sure the area was clear of anyone that might being spying on him or any stray children playing games out past curfew. He hated being watched while he trained, a old habit of his that stemmed from always being alone with Tobimaru. With the thought of Tobimaru he reached up to his dog tags and rubbed them gently, a slight smile spread across his face as he thought to himself, "Even in death I can still feel you here comrade." Taking calming breaths and stretching out his limbs making sure that he was loose and ready to train. He mentally went back to how he was shown the stance. It was a simple crouch that seemed kind of awkward to be in, but the power behind the attacks made the stance worth learning in his book. After replaying the movements, Shini slid his front foot out crouching into the stance. He kept checking himself and his memory, once he felt that he was correctly in the position he began to go through the various steps that he was shown.
Moving awkwardly around the clearing, Shini noticed he wasn't using his momentum like he was suppose to be. Making a slight adjustment to how he moved his back foot, Shini noticed a major improvement to moving. After awhile he began to work on his timing, Shini couldn't quite get it down for some reason. He would move just as instructed but it seems that his momentum was sooner then when he placed his foot causing him to slid farther then what he wanted. He decided that instead of leaning into it the movement the he would slowly transfer the weight from his back foot to his front foot as he slid so that when his foot did catch that all he had to do was follow through and let his weight do the rest. After this adjustment and a couple more rounds around the clearing he could feel the snap of the momentum on the front of his fist letting him know he had finally gotten the timing down.
Shini began moving slightly faster then before and while slipping every once and awhile, his movements were visibly more natural. He could feel the weight of his body moving forward and sliding across the grass, then catching and all the momentum transferring to his fists. Shini decided to stop and take a break to review over what he had learned so far. He noticed how this stance limited the variation of attacks airborne wise but the power behind each strike would be devastating if delivered right. Shini also noticed that the stance relied on that moment your body took solid footing after moving. "That could be troublesome in a fight with someone who was faster then me." Shini thought to himself, "I'll have to find a way to adapt if that ever happens, maybe if I put more pressure on the lead foot causing it to catch faster that would limit the window of attack." Shini stood up and settled back into the stance more naturally this time then we he had begun.
He moved naturally acting out his plan and putting more weight on his lead foot, which it did cause him to get solid ground faster but it also through off his timing. Shini groaned, but smiled after wards, he just had to train some more so that he could match the timing up with the momentum. He spent a couple more hours till the moon started to fall back behind the treeline and the sun began to rise. He smiled as he felt the flow of the steps linking smoothly, noting how he had finally gotten the timing down. The window was there and it was still a risk that he would have to take while using this stance but at least he was able to reduce it even by a fraction. After wiping off the sweat he laid down in the field and relaxed, reviewing what he had gone over for hours.
