Kizuato-ō no mai/Hēi lóng

The Hēi lóng (黑龙 Hēi lóng, literally meaning "Black Dragon") is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by Asura Uchiha. It involves smashing your opponent and is generally used only by extremely physically powerful and dominating enemies. The style focus on the practice of such elements as awareness of the spirit, mind, qi (breath, or energy flow), chakra and the use of relaxed leverage rather than unrefined muscular tension, tension that soft stylists call "brute force". Components of internal training includes stance training, stretching and strengthening of muscles, as well as on empty hand and weapon forms which can contain quite demanding coordination from posture to posture. Many internal styles have basic two-person training, such as pushing hands. A prominent characteristic of internal styles is that the forms are generally performed at a slow pace. This is thought to improve coordination and balance by increasing the work load, and to require the student to pay minute attention to their whole body and its weight as they perform a technique.

There are forms that include sudden outbursts of explosive movements. At an advanced level, and in actual fighting, internal styles are performed quickly, but the goal is to learn to involve the entire body in every motion, to stay relaxed, with deep, controlled breathing, and to coordinate the motions of the body and the breathing accurately according to the dictates of the forms while maintaining perfect balance.

Asura Uchiha's Technique List

 * The Lóng Zhī Zhǎo (龙之爪 Lóng Zhī Zhǎo, literally meaning "Dragon Talon") This technique is simply a falling axe kick, much like the | Heavenly Foot of Pain. Asura concentrates his chakra into his leg and strikes the enemy. The power of this attack is so great that it could cause death to anyone unskilled person who is hit by the attack directly.

Variations of Lóng Zhī Zhǎo

 * Tiānshàng de Lóng Zhī Zhǎo (天上的龙之爪 Tiānshàng de Lóng Zhī Zhǎo, literally meaning "Heavenly Dragon Talon"): Used by Asura. While some may see it as just "superhuman strength," this technique is actually an application of again chakra, that demands the ability to concentrate and minute it. An immense amount of chakra is kneaded inside the body, and a moment later all of it is gathered into the fist. That chakra is then released into the target after the target is hit, which does a great amount of damage. The damage done is dependent on the amount of chakra used, it is also possible for a skilled user to amass it in their fingertip.


 * Lóng Jiǎo (龙角 Lóng Jiǎo, literally meaning "Dragon Horn"): Asura uses the Body Flicker Technique to get behind his opponent and punches his enemy's abdomen with as small amounts of chakra released before the hit can happen repeatedly. The enemy is pushed backwards at tremendous speed, however, able to raze trees upon impact, which causes Asura's opponent to take even more damage.
