Gentle Fist Art Clenching Snake Jaw

The Gentle Fist Art Clenching Snake Jaw (柔拳法掴蛇顎, Jūkenpō Kaku Hebiago) is a technique that employs classical grappling elements from martial arts to the Gentle Fist principle. Rather than actively strike the opponent and disable their tenketsu, this technique is meant to inflict great pain in a single motion. Within combat, should one find the opportunity, they clasp the opponent with their own palm and maintain their hold. The impact of the stream of chakra sent through the grappling motion as well as continuous pain received from the tightening of the hold often times can cause the victim to surrender under the pain. Alternatively, it can be used for a short period of time to give an opening for other Taijutsu maneuvers.
