Karuwaza- Risky Fighter

[Wolfy]

Karuwaza is not a traditional fighting style, in that it has no set stances, forms, or method of practice. Practitioners learn to be nimble, limber and, above all, agile. Unlike most fighting styles which place an emphasis on damaging Taijutsu techniques and strong defenses, Karuwaza places a higher focus on avoiding enemy attacks. Offensive moves are showy, but often unpredictable and highly dynamic, using speedy maneuvers and rotational force to devastating effect. To put it in plain English, practitioners of the Karuwaza school are rough and tumble acrobats, capable of devastating opponents and looking totally cool while they do it.

MASTERY

[/b] The rough and tumble nature of the risky undertaking style eventually gives its practitioners a well developed sense of balance beyond the ninja standard. They are aware of the positioning of limbs in correlation to the body and how they relate to ones center of balance enabling them to maintain balance on any object no matter how narrow or unstable or stand upright on the most unstable surfaces, such as a collapsing building, or an earthquake. Furthermore, they are able to perform actions with either hand on par with the other hand regardless of born laterality and to perform actions using one's feet as well as, or instead of one's hands.



-Tier Two - Limber, Nimble: Karuwaza practitioners reaching this caliber find their go go pacing and reaction style of taijutsu has augmented their speed providing a modest boost of 50% to all movement and enhancing their agility and flexibility.

[/b] This speed boost only applies to one's base speed. I.E. JOAT and Ninjutsu Primaries with tier two of Karuwaza move at 1.5x normal (ninja) speed while Taijutsu primaries using in their tier move at 2.5x speed.
[/ul]


-Tier Three - Optimized Muscle Memory: At its most understood Karuwaza affords the ninja body the ability to mimic physical movements and commit them to memory. As such they can copy various movements including acrobatics, martial arts, and other physical stunts. They are able to copy any taijutsu S-rank and under after witnessing it visually. Incredibly, they may also copy how a person aims, giving themselves incredible marksmanship, though to use it with any particular weapon they would have to see said weapon in use. In example, the nuances between learning how to fire a dart gun as opposed to a crossbow, or the handling of a cleaver over a tanto.

[/b] Taijutsu copied must still be purchased with EXP and one cannot spend mastery points in the arts of copied taijutsu even if they were to learn enough of those jutsu. In the case of taijutsu that draw from a power (or appendage) the user does not have (i.e. Goken's Lotus, Hyuuga's Jyuuken) the movement itself can be copied but will likely lack the power and effect of the original. Choosing tier three will lock out the perks from the first two tiers and three mastery points would still be required to access tier three.[/ul][/ul][/div][/font]

TENJOUKEN

Tenjouken, a sect of Karuwaza jutsu that focuses more on offensive measures. A study in speed and power over agility and balance lays the foundation for the entirety of this sub-style. Tenjouken is a training of the body and a utilization of it to its utmost potential though in a different light than the core Karuwaza jutsu. Though not on the levels of the chakra-enhanced strength utilized by medic-nin, practitioners of Tenjouken have amazing physical power and speed with which to back it up. They focus on hitting hard and fast using efficient maneuvers. However, their training does not only cover offense; their bodies are extremely enduring and efficient.

Each time used in succession, the speed boost is reduced by half until it hits zero. A full post without using this jutsu will reset the speed boost back to the default amount. I.E. Taijutsu users with Tier 2 Karuwaza would move at x3 speed while dodging (x2.5 without) while a Nin Prime with Tier 2 would move at x2 speed (x1.5 without).
[/ul]

Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/i][/b] that stacks with the user's base speed and/or the "Limber, Nimble" speed boost of Karuwaza Tier 2. I.E. Taijutsu users with Tier 2 Karuwaza would move at x5 speed (x4 without) while kicking while a Nin Prime with Tier 2 would move at x2.5 speed (x2 without). The power behind this kick allows it to negate most jutsu (including elemental) up to A-rank and puncture barriers up to A-rank.

Note: Due to the strain performed on the lower body after this kick connects, the user will move at 50% of their original speed for three posts. Should this strike land a roll must be made with a 75% chance of K.O. and 25% chance of decapitation for the target.
