Ninja Art: Fox-tail Ribbon Dance

Fox-tail Ribbon Dance
'''Only a shinobi who primarily uses whip attacks combined with dance should be using this jutsu! If they do, feel free to use this jutsu!'''

Technique Description
The Fox-tail Ribbon Dance is a special, taijutsu extension of the Fire Release: Fox-tail Ribbon Whip. The Fire Whip is used in such a way that it reflects a combination of Rhythmic Gymnastics and Taijutsu. Essentially, ballet, gymnastics, dance, apparatus manipulation, and a martial art are interwoven into this technique.

The Fire Whip, having taken on the form of a long ribbon, is skillfully twirled and looped across the battlefield and around the user (without touching and injuring them). This confuses and potentially mesmerizes the opponent, and serves as both a flexible offensive and defensive.

Martial Arts that heavily rely on fancy, aerial kicking techniques are often incorporated into the movement of this dance, thus the taijutsu element of this art is heavily reliant on elegant and quick, yet powerful, legwork.

Mai Asami tends to use a mixture of Changquan, Taekwondo, and Capoeira.

The Fire Whip in itself is a ninjutsu, but because dance is a taijutsu, it doesn't require any chakra.

This jutsu is most effective at short to medium ranges.
