Snake Kung Fu

Snake Kung Fu
(蛇拳, Snake Boxing, or Fanged Snake Style)

The snake style of kung fu imitates the movements of snakes. It is a style of Shaolin Boxing. Proponents claim that adopting the fluidity of snakes allows them to entwine with their opponents in defense and strike them from angles they wouldn't expect in offense. Snake style is said to especially lend itself to applications with the Chinese straight sword. The snake is also one of the animals imitated in Yang family Taijiquan (T'ai chi ch'uan), Baguazhang and Xingyiquan. The sinuous, fluid motion of the snake lends itself to the practical theory that underlies the "soft" martial arts. Here are the techniques.



Jashou Rengeki (Rapid Snake Palm Strikes)
A technique in which the user strikes the upper body with many Snake strikes, then finishing with an upper Snake strike, sending the opponent up the air.

Jakan Rasen (Snake Twirling Hurricane)
A technique in which the user crouches and spins their right leg at the opponent's shin, then jumps back up and does a repetition of the previous kick, but at the opponent's head.

 Jakan Resshi (Snake Twirling Violent Fingers)
A technique in which the user spins around and strikes straight forward at the upper body with both Snake hands; one at the chest and the other at the abdomen.

Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do
(截拳道)


Jeet Kune Do is a hybrid martial arts system and life philosophy founded by world renowned martial artist and actor Bruce Lee in 1967.The system works on the use of different 'tools' for different situations, broken down into ranges - Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling - with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a "style without style" as, unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. The core concepts of Jeet Kune Do are derived from Wing Chun. This includes such ideas as centerline control, punching with a vertical fist, trapping, and forward pressure. Through his personal research and readings, Lee also incorporated ideas from boxing and fencing. Later during the development of Jeet Kune Do, he would expand it to include the art for personal development, not just to become a better fighter.One of the theories of Jeet Kune Do is that a fighter should do whatever is necessary to defend himself, regardless of where the techniques come from. One of Lee's goals in Jeet Kune Do was to break down what he claimed were limiting factors in traditional martial arts training, and seek a fighting thesis which he believed could only be found within the reality of a fight. Jeet Kune Do is currently seen as the genesis of the modern state of hybrid martial arts. Here are the techniques.

Sunkei (One-inch punch)
A skill that is commonly believed to come only from the Wing Chun system of kung fu. The practitioner stands with their fist very close to the target. A quick movement of the wrist produces the force needed, moving it up and a strike is produced with the bottom two knuckles.

Hanten-keri (Somersault Kick)
A skill that requires well-timed, quick nimble movements with the legs and hips. The practitioner runs up to the opponent and flips 360 degrees with both legs split out, striking the opponent with the farther leg.

Hiryūkyaku (Flying Dragon Kick)
A skill that requires momentum and foot-power for the kick to be executed. The practitioner leaps themselves off the ground while raising their arms out and their left foot outstretched, aiming the foot straight at their face or midsection.

Mishima-ryuu Fighting Karate

Mishima-ryuu Fighting Karate
ミシマスタイル空手

Mishima-ryuu Karate is a fighting style that is used by the Mishima clan, which blends the real life Karate styles Goju-Ryu and Shotokan. Jinpachi Mishima, the original founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu and a peaceful martial arts champion, founded this style and passed it on to Heihachi, whose ideology is opposite to his father’s. It is a very defensive and powerful style which uses lightning for its attacks. These are the techniques.

金剛槍掌 (Spear Palm)
A palm technique that comes out very quickly. The user crouch-dashes forward and rises from above, thrusting the heel of their left palm straight forward at the opponent’s midsection. It is said to be derived from the Goju-ryu style of Karate, and reduces the chances of injury to the hand and wrist of the practitioner. It is also considered to be the best technique of Mishima Karate.
風神拳(Rising Godfist)
The signature technique of the Mishima family. The user raises their right forearm along with their fist up, letting the fist hit straight at the opponent’s chin, launching them into the air. It is rarely used by practitioners of the Mishima Karate, and the force and velocity would be great enough to conduct electricity along the user's right arm.
陣列蹴り(Hell Lancing Kick)
A flying kick technique that comes out very quickly like the Spear Palm. The user leaps up off the ground, and while in mid-air, they outstretch their left leg and tuck their right leg in, aiming themselves straight at the opponent. Practitioners should use it as an opening attack on unsuspecting opponents.
破砕蹴 (Demon Smashing Kick)
A staple flip-kick technique of the Mishima style. The user somersaults forward and outstretches their left leg, slamming the heel on the opponent’s head. At the end of the attack, the user lands on the ground. It can be very useful in battle for evading low attacks.

Oomiwa-ryuu Ninjutsu scrolls

The style of Oomiwa-ryuu Ninjutsu was created by the head of the Oomiwa Temple, Sessue Kanoh.  Its attacks focus on quick, precise blows and stealthy maneuvers. The art was passed on to siblings Hyoma and Fuune Tsukikage, whom Sessue found in the doorstep of the temple. They have been loyal to him ever since. This style places emphasis on the art of taijitsu, and the one who masters this style masters the ninjutsu way. Disciples of this ninjutsu art have always been skilled experts.  Here are the techniques.


Assassin Palm
The user spins forward counterclockwise and thrusts their open palms forward for a quick, precise
double-palm thrust at the opponent's midsection.
Hornet Elbow
The user leaps forward up off the ground and upon the jump, brings their left elbow upwards onto the opponent's chin.
Meteorite Impact
The user flips sideways with their right leg outward and the left leg tucked in, therefore slamming their leg on the opponent's head.
Celestial Demon Fully extending their body, holding their arms against their sides, the user flips forward, and upon the flip, grabs both sides of their head, and once the user lands the ground, they throw the opponent over their shoulder.

Tsubaki-Ryuu Kenpo scrolls

Tsubaki-Ryuu Kenpo is an art created by the clan patriarch, Genya Tsubaki, and was restricted to teach evil this style. Instead, they battle evil with it. This art was once passed down to Kaiya, who turned into a criminal and abandoned his whole family. Regretting this decision, Genya raised Saya, making sure that she does not follow the path of her father, and taught her the ways of the Tsubaki-ryuu Kenpo, and although Saya did not know about her father, Genya avoided answering her questions about him. One who uses this style is very defensive, and places emphasis on exercise and technique. It is somewhat based on real Kenpo. Here are the techniques listed below.

ワシストームクロウ (Phoenix Claw)
With the left hand positioned over their head, the user thrusts their right palm forward at the opponent's midsection. This is a very fast and powerful palm attack, and is a high-level technique of Tsubaki-ryuu Kenpo, which strikes at close-range.
ホワイトヘーロンにキック (White Heron Kicks)
The user lifts their right leg up upward into the opponent's jaw. Then, the user lifts their left leg up at the same target. This is a very stable double-kick combo of the Tsubaki-ryuu Kenpo style, and can strike at a high-angle.

大きな鳥を翼 (Big Bird Wing)
The user crouches, leans forward, then thrusts the back of their shoulder forward at the opponent. This shoulder attack is a secret technique of the Tsubaki-ryuu style.
水鳥子孫 (Waterfoul Descent)
The user launches themselves up off the ground and spins their left foot around in a semicircular motion, striking with the heel. Then, the user spins their right foot around in the same motion, striking with the right heel. And lastly, a repetition of the first step. This triple flying kick can dodge low attacks, and is somewhat of an intermediate-level technique.

Karate

http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/151609/151609,1219760249,3/stock-vector-vector-karate-logo-16574800.jpg


Karate is a type of martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands, developed from indigenous fighting methods called "te" (literally "hand") and Chinese kenpo. A karate practitioner is called a "karateka".
Karate is primarily a striking art which uses punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. Karate can be practiced as budo (self-development), as a sport, as a combat sport, or as self-defense training; Traditional karate places emphasis on budo. Modern Japanese style training emphasizes the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills. Sport karate places emphasis on exercise and competition. The use of weapons are a important training activity in some styles. These are the techniques.











Tora-ken (Tiger Fist)
The user rears the left fist back with the side of the right hand raised at the opponent, then, while stepping forward with the right foot, uses the left fist to execute a powerful punch with the right fist cocked back at the hip, striking the solar plexus. This attack travels outward from the body in a straight line and finishes with the punch in line with your centre of the body. It also involves a step because the step puts all of your body weight behind the punch.
Hyou-jouken (Panther Uppercut)
The user places both fists at his sides and upturns them, cocking back for the attack. Then, he would launch his left fist at the opponent's chin, sending them high into the air. This attack keeps Yugo's balance using the uppercut. At the end of the technique, the inside of the fist points upwards, the arm is raised diagonally high, and the opponent is hit with seiken.
Hiyaku-ryu Kyaku (Dragon Leap Kick)
The user forces the weight of their legs to lift themselves up off the ground, leaping forward in a sideways position and executes an overhead heel kick, slamming their leg on the opponent's head. This attack uses the power of the heel to inflict great damage, focusing on the finesse of this technique.
Inazuma Jokutou (Lightning Sword Kick)
With immense speed, the user crouches and dashes forward, thrusting their left elbow forward at the opponent's gut, causing damage to multiple ribs, with the right fist cocked back at the hip. This attack has great speed, and can make a great opening technique, using the fist-chest interface as a
 pivot, and offering several advantages over punches.

Taekwondo

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5slkUIBacoMwWS0HXJBx5uE6-EMXSQ25PIiZiFfIlyRheKoyVMMHR25LLdmZZbcyn9QYz4iLlnu2x_6UxFEve8eK3aIMBpZBPajXXPh7Ug_oHz1buDq8b91NeblEPtlXAEAlVQWpeu6Co/s1600/taekwondo2.gif

Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, which distinguishes it from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation. Historically, the Koreans thought that the hands were too valuable to be used in combat.

In 1952, at the height of the Korean War, there was a martial arts exhibition in which the kwans displayed their skills. In one demonstration, Nam Tae Hi smashed 13 roof tiles with a punch. Following this demonstration, South Korean President Syngman Rhee instructed Choi Hong Hi to introduce the martial arts to the Korean army. By the mid-1950s, nine kwans had emerged. Syngman Rhee ordered that the various schools unify under a single system. The name "taekwondo" was either submitted by Choi Hong Hi or Song Duk Son, and was accepted on April 11, 1955. As it stands today, the nine kwans are the founders of taekwondo, though not all the kwans used the name. The Korea Taekwondo Association was formed in 1959/1961 to facilitate the unification.


Hawk Impact (鷹影響) 
The user leaps up off the ground and swings their heel down on the opponent's head like an axe.

Launching Blade (起動刃)
The user launches their left leg up high at the opponent, sending them high up the air, focusing all of the force into their feet.

Albatross Destruction (アホ破壊)
The user leaps up off the ground and spins their right shin around at the opponent's temple. Then, after jumping, the user thrusts their left leg at the opponent's midsection, pushing them away.

5 Animal Kung Fu

In the Chinese martial arts, imagery of the Five Animals, Tiger, Crane, Leopard, Snake, and Dragon appears predominantly in Southern styles, especially those associated with Guangdong and Fujian Provinces. The Five Animal martial arts supposedly originated from the Henan Shaolin Temple, which is north of the Yangtze River, even though imagery of these particular five animals as a distinct set (i.e. in the absence of other animals such as the horse or the monkey as in T'ai Chi Ch'uan or Xingyiquan) is either rare in Northern Shaolin martial arts?and Northern Chinese martial arts in general?or recent (cf. wuxingbafaquan;  "Five Form Eight Method Fist").

Kousoushou (Tiger Double Palm)
A technique when you slide your foot forward and execute a double palm strike in a motion similar to a Hadoken.

Ryuubikyaku (Dragon Tail Kick)
A technique when you hop forward and execute a butterfly kick.

Jashourengeki (Snake Palm Combo Attack)
