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.
