Active Yin Style

The Active Psionic Style is a form of martial arts that puts emphasis on the mental aspect of a fight. Martial artist who use this fighting style divide a fight into three parts: the neutral phase, follow up phase, and the ending phase. Practitioners believe that a fight constantly goes through these phases and controlling how and when the phases change is important if you want to defeat your opponent.

First Phase
The neutral phase for Active Psionic Style is about learning about your opponent, throwing strikes without getting hit. This means that powerful strikes are not use as they are often slow. Instead, practitioners focus on quick and weak strikes so they can strike their enemy and get out of the way quickly. This allows the practitioners to control spacing and pacing of a fight. Throughout this phase there are three things to focus on. The first is learning how to pay attention to oneself and your opponent. This makes it easy for a user to predict their opponent's movements allowing them to transition to the follow up phase as well as make them aware of their own movements so they won't be predictable. Naturally, no one can predict everything, which is where focusing on reacting comes in. Unlike a lot of martial artist, the users of this fighting style rarely go on the offensive. Instead, they wait for their opponent to make a move, allowing them to make the proper reaction. The last thing a user focuses on is trying to condition their opponents. They do this by making it seem as if they are predictable by repeating the same movements. This is done so they can trick the opponent in making a move that seems desirable for them, but in reality it is very undesirable. If one can master these three things, the user can potentially control how their opponent recovers from an attack, attack, and move around the battlefield.

Second Phase
The second phase, the follow-up phase comes into play when a movement is made that creates an opening. For users of Active Psionic Style, the follow-up phase is about stringing together attacks that are hard to escape from rather than perform one devastating blow. Unlike the neutral phase, the follow-up phase uses slightly stronger attacks so the transition into the final stage is more fluid. In this phase, practitioners believe it is crucial to apply pressure to keep the opponent from making a comeback. There are two types of pressure: offensive pressure and defensive pressure. For users of Active Psionic Style, offensive pressure is about quick and rapid movements to keep in a nervous and frustrated mental state. Defensive pressure is about trying to break through the opponent's defenses with powerful attacks and fake-outs to cover the recovering time of an attack.

Third Phase
The third phase is the ending phase. This phase is the simplest phase of them all with no gimmicks. This phase is made up of a single attack. If a user has used the other three phases properly, a highly destructive attack isn't needed to end the fight because the opponent should be both severely mentally and physically exhausted and injured. Instead, a Active Psionic Style focuses on ending the fight with a swift strike that seems to come from nowhere.
