Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Cord Cutting: A difficult technique, used to sever the various 'cords' in the body. This includes blood vessels, lymph ducts, tendons and nerves. Kosho uses the technique to incapacitate his opponent usually by severing their optic nerves or severing the tendons on their arms and legs. This technique causes immense pain as well.
*Seiken: A simple yet effective technique. Merely a powerful straight punch but proper use of this has been consistently shown to have greater power then a users normal techniques such as when Doppo Orochi fought Yujiro Hanma.
*Eyeground Crush: A brutal technique used to shatter the bone in an opponents forehead in order to damage their brain. The user first cover the opponent's eyes with something to block it, usually their palm, then they proceed to punch their palm, breaking it along with the opponent's eyeground.
*Toe Kick: This technique is very similar to a karate basic front kick, but the difference is that the second foot finger have be placed on top of the big toe, adding more penetration power to the blow. According to Izou Motobe, people who have highly trained the toes can make any part of the body a vital point with this move.
*Nukite: The fighter uses his hand (excluding their thumbs) which the user then thrust into the opponent's body like a spear. Every karateka can use this technique, but Koushou Shinogi is one of the greatest experts of this move. He can easily cut human skin and flesh, or destroy a punching bag with one stab.
