Hatsugouryuu Aiki Jiujitsu

Hatsugouryuu Aiki Jiujitsu is a legendary martial arts known for its profound use of skill, speed and accuracy.

## History

Created during the Kamakura era (1185 to 1333) of all the martial schools that have the prefix “aiki.” Hatsugouryuu Aiki Jiujitsu is the only one that originates from battlefields. Where it was said a master could walk through an entire battlefield filled with opposing sides locked in ferocious combat without ever being noticed or acknowledged by a single one of them. As if he were the natural breeze of the wind flowing along the openings in each and every person's own blind spot, weaving his existence through the battlefield so perfectly that it is hard to believe it was the act of a real person. It is because of this that many believe that this legendary martial art is nothing more than an ancient myth.

## Philosophy

This fast paced, flexible style of martial arts uses a combined form of Aikido and Jiujitsu in order to neutralize an attack early on or use the users’ momentum and predicted trajectory to dodge said attack for a counter. It emphasizes a majority of throwing techniques and joint manipulations, although the use of Ki, is of great importance when delivering an effective block or counter. As the art was created for war it is very pragmatic to the point that too far is an expression that has no meaning to it. Since in battlefields the unforeseeable can appear suddenly and bring you down at any moment. Also, of particular importance is the timing of a defensive technique, either to blend or to neutralize an attack's effectiveness and to use the force of the attacker's movement against him. This means that a practitioner must be of fast body and mind in order to read an opponent’s intentions and movements in order to effectively block.
==Special Techniques==

* **Throat Punch**: It’s inspired from stabs. The throat was one of the weak points in old armours.
* **Ki Reversal**: A technique that uses the equal and opposite force of an opponent’s ki then amplifies the rebounding effect of the opponents’ attack, to send the attack back before it enters the users body. When contact is made with his body. The opponent is flung into the air and dashed upon the floor.
* **Residual Wave**: He who receives the Residual wave does not get back up due to the “Shockwave” the brain receives making it feel backwards. The impression you get from seeing the arm deliver the Residual Wave as it stretches like rubber is due to the energy being emitted which brings the victim to a state of unconcentration. This energy then changes into a shockwave and infiltrates the head all the way to the brain where it remains. From then on, the victim is completely under users control helpless to do anything to stop them as once it leaves its mark the Residual Wave reacts to certain sounds creating horrible pain in the victim.
* **Shingon-Ha** (*Wave of The True Speech/True Words Wave*): The ultimate technique of the Hatsugouryuu Aiki Jiujitsu that can have only one inheritor. It is said that he who is able to master this technique is able to defeat an army of a thousand men by adjusting the power of their abilities so that they may be controlled. Shingon-Ha is a technique that eliminates conflict at its source without fighting. Regardless of their anger or their madness, any kind of being will find peace with the Shingon-Ha. Even a pack of wild, blood thirsty wolves would become gentle lambs when faced with it.
	+ The first level of this technique manipulates the ki of user’s opponent allowing them to distort their focus, changing the trajectories of incoming attacks.
	+ The second level limits, rejects, and negates any kind of event that has happened to its target. It is an ability that returns the target to its former state no matter what has happened to it.  An offensive style that can be blocked is worth nothing. Attacks against user are useless as the technique repels damage within a limited area. In other words, it returns an attack to its basic state causing the energy to bleed off back into the atmosphere.
	+ The third level extends the second level as a field effectively removing the ability of anyone within it to utilize their ki.
	+ The final level when one has mastered the technique allows them to eliminate conflict all together.

## Notes

This style is based off of the style from Shamo of the same name with aspects of the School of Eiken from Koko Tekken-den Tough added to it.
