Resshūken

Resshūken, literally translated as Fissure Kick Fist; VIZ; Lightning Kickboxing, is an A rank taijutu style that centers around countering the enemy's attacks. An elegant fighting style that is only taught at In'ei Temple. This style is considered to be one of the strongest, most elegant schools of martial arts in existence and relies on fast footwork in order to focus on fending off enemy attacks and instantly counterattack.

The fighter maintains his or her position while diverting attacks with his arms or weapon. They then immediately retaliate with powerful kicks aimed at specific areas to produce the optimal effect for the situation.

As such, the style is primarily defensive and is used to supplement Hozoin-Ryu. Despite its primarily defensive nature, its ability to take down an opponent unarmed is not to be underestimated. This style has been called the ultimate counter to physical assault, especially of the Strong Fist variety, but Gentle Fist is superior to this style, due only to the ability to target the tenketsu.
