Mittsu Kasho Sutando (The Three Point Stand)
Rank: "C" "B" "A" "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A defensive stance that is used for taking hits. A stance that is used if the user is unable to attack back. This can be used as a ploy making the user seem as if they were useless.
Special: ---
Drawback: This technique is used for defensive purposes but they are not immortal so they will still feel effects of hits and attacks. This technique is used for hand to hand combat only.
Description: The user stands tall without slouching. They take their arms raising up their hands up to their face. Their elbows are bent touching each other as the user slouches slightly. The user brings their arms inwards towards their body to protect their body. Their face is protected with their fists. Their legs are shoulder width apart as they bend their knees slightly. Knees are never straightened because that can be deadly to the knee. As knees are bent the upper thighs touch each other down to the knee. This protects the private areas from low attacks. To avoid private area attacks user moves slightly to the left or to the right rotating their hips. When an opponent attacks the user concentrates on their muscles and joints as they quickly squeeze to tense these areas. This technique nulls or dims down the effects of techniques. Depending on the TaiJutsu technique and the capability of this technique the user is capable of dimming down strong techniques. Each rank the user learns they are capable of dimming techniques one rank lower.

"Before learning how to deliver a blow, I will show you how to take one. Remember, Jiao, that defense is just as important as Offense."
Bowing to his daughter, Aiguo would take a defensive stance, bending both elbows to protect the face. Bending his knees a bit, Aiguo would crouch so that if he was to be hit in the legs, his guard would not shatter so easily. "Mimic my movements, take your time, breath." he would instruct her, holding the defensive stance. By starting with the defensive abilities, he figured he might show her the value of protection rather than simply charging your enemies and pummelling them to death. To fight, put simply, was to protect others and it was a great responsibility. Breathing deep, Jiao exhaled, the sound bouncing back to her odd ears and painting a grey image of the room with blurred shapes.
Raising her arms slowly, timidly, she would attempt to replicate the arm movements of her father. Slowly but surely, she managed to form what she believed to be a decent posture. Now came the legs, bending her knees, Jiao crouched into a "squat" so that she could be low to the ground. "Why do we squat father, would it not be better to stand up right? They have a height advantage on us." she said, not getting it. Laughing softly, her father shook his head at her. "We bend our knees so that the force of an attack will not shatter them. By bending, we offer greater protection of important joints." he said, smiling. "Stand a bit higher, you are too low." he scolded.
Adjusting her stance immediately, Jiao breathed in, and exhaled once more. She was as ready as she was ever going to be for this, knowing her father was actually going to strike her. "Are you ready?" he asked, the question seemed quite silly. No one was ever ready to be struck, however that was the point of all of this, was it not? As Jiao went to open her mouth to reply, she felt a shift in the wind that signalled that her had moved. 'Fast. He's coming head on.' she thought to herself, exhaling once more to look for him. Indeed he came head on, turning into what looked like a punch. Bracing herself, the punch never came, and would instead be deliver as a sweeping kick towards her legs.
It was too late to brace herself however as she tried to squat a bit more to protect them. The power from his kick swept her legs out from beneath her, her body floating in the air as she let out a small yelp. She was caught off balance, off guard, and now she was going to pay for it. Attempting to correct herself in the air, she felt a strong fist connect with her gut that sent the air from her lungs in one powerful gasp. Jiao landed on the floor in a crumpled heap, grasping at her stomach. "You must pay attention to changes in movements, listen, focus. This will be twice as hard for you." he scolded as she panted on the ground. "You could have at least let me get used what it -should- be doing for me." she complained, shakily climbing to her feet.
"You will have no advance warning. The enemy does not tell you what he is going to do; he simply does it." he lectured, preparing himself by entering the Iron Fist stance. "Again." he said, waiting for her to stand. Shaking her head clear, Jiao tried to catch her breath, however she knew that he would be relentless, there would be no time for that. In fact, as she moved into position the air shifted again, he was coming around for another pass at her. "Block!" he shouted, startling her. Everything around her seemed to slow down, she could hear the air rippling through his clothing, but more noteable than that was the sound of his sleeve; punch this time.
Raising her arms just in time, she would take the full brunt of his punch with her arm guard, however she would be sent toppling backwards end over end. It was important for her to learn such a skill, but it was clear that she was better suited to avoid damage altogether.
