Gentle Step

It is widely known that the Hyūga are renown for their Gentle Fist fighting style. The form is gentle and light, able to deliver devastating blows with nothing but a seemingly peaceful touch. However, the form is about more then fists, for the Hyūga are experts as releasing chakra from any point upon their body. They are graceful, agile, and flexible. These are the principals of the Gentle Step.

This style of movement allows the clan members to move swiftly with great speed, as well as move evasively with their agility and flexibility. This is a stunningly different style of movement then what is normally seen in combat, for it adds a high degree of grace to the battlefield. This is a basic skill most Hyūga know, but one that can be expanded upon in various ways. The technique itself does not necessarily require chakra, as it is done mostly through grace.
