Shifting Snake

Shifting Snake (転蛇, Tenja) is an advanced maneuver that lends itself well to various disciplines of physical combat, such as. The user initially takes a neutral stance. However, the moment an enemy initiates an attack, the individual proceeds to shift very slightly to the appropriate direction, evading the attack with little effort. If an opponent attempts to use continuous attacks, the user will begin to constantly alternate their position through the same tactic while taking steps forward in a diagonal fashion, thus throwing their enemy off-guard and rendering their assault null, while giving the opportunity for an offensive strike. Of course, this is not always the case should an enemy suddenly change their attack direction. Albeit, given the swiftness of this particular method of evasion, it is almost impossible to pull back before the user ends the opponent's life.
