Martial Arts Origami

Just as the pen is mightier than the sword, so is paper sharper than steel.
Martial Arts Origami is an ancient fighting style. The basis of this style stems as its name implies from the art of paper folding, and is incredibly versatile. Paper is one of the most adaptable resources available. It may be folded into many different forms with the right amount of skill and practice. With a single piece of paper, there may not be many possibilities. But a bundle may provide lots of creation opportunities.
==Overview==
The principles governing the spectrum of Ki is often thought to be correlated with the universal forces regarded as Yin and Yang (陰陽, Inyō). As such, different proportions of the two forces combined with the user's intrinsic willpower leads to their Ki aligning with one of the Five Elements (五行 Gogyō, Chinese: Wǔxíng), which causes the Ki flowing across their bodies to take upon an elemental attribute that vastly increases the specialization and power of their Martial Arts.
In the case of Martial Arts Origami practitioners utilize "Wood" (木, Ki) to fortify and shape the plant fibers that make up the paper. Similar to how a samurai learns to wield a weapon as if it were an extension of their body practitioners use the medium of Paper to channel their will. This is an incredibly dangerous style. A Master can harden any sheet of paper in their hand to a degree that it becomes hard and sharp enough to cut through metal, wood, stone and---naturally enough---normal human flesh.
The style is divided onto four different areas of study:
*Articulation: The user’s ability to accurately mold, fold, and shape a paper into a certain figure.
*Density: The user’s ability to change the molecular structure of paper making it into different strengths and malleability. Because of paper’s thin molecular makeup, the bonding of atoms requires little energy, making paper a good medium for manipulation.
*Linkage: The user’s ability in linking multiple papers together and the range energy can move between papers.
*Endurance: The length the user can control paper.
As with Origami the style uses origami paper as it being thinner makes it easier to manipulate, however skilled practitioners are able to wield any form of paper. The greatest weakness of the fact that folding paper requires time. Thus practitioners train to do so as fast as possible.
==Special Techniques==
*Paper Knife: This is a basic technique of the style, by infusing chi into a single piece of origami paper user is able to form a sharp blade with the edge of it.
*Paper Raptor Counter: Takeshi folds and launches a barrage of paper birds at his opponent. He is able to control manipulate how sharp they are.
