Haira Ichiden Musou Ryu

Haira Ichiden Musou Ryu is the school of martial arts practiced by Kuzuryuu Clan

## History

Haira is the name of one of the twelve heavenly generals that are said to protect Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of medicine. They are each associated with one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals. Haira is connected to the “dragon” which just happens to be one of the symbols Kuzuryuu. It's said that during the dawn of the clan, they were able to manipulate their ki in the most simplistic manner. Aware that ki had existed within themselves & their environment, to make the most use out of their ki as a means of combat, they came up with ways to bend it to their whim. It was the only way that they could survive the harsh times they lived in and thrive for so long. Though it took many years to develop, they finally were able to create anew power in order to protect themselves. From then on, the secrets of said power were used for various purposes. They were able to create a limitless degree of methods in which to utilize their ki, ranging from basic expressions to the most advanced applications. As martial arts is an art that must come from the heart, the use of spiritual power through the martial arts is limited only by its wielder, and the Kazuryuu are capable of feats are beyond the imagination of other martial artists. Not only that, the secrets were passed down from generation to generation — hoping that the descendants would learn and properly utilize the very art that helped their ancestors to prosper for such a long period.

## Philosophy

The Kuzuryuu can freely control the internal energy of the human body and shape and manipulate this energy to their own accord. The possibilities of this style are nearly endless, only bound by the user's imagination. In the most common cases, by sheathing their bodies with this energy, they can make themselves as hard as solid steel to defend against all but the strongest attacks.
