Fire School

Fire School (火流, Ka-ryū; literally "Way of Flames") is one of the eight schools of Physical Natures that make up all of Taijutsu. It focuses upon a ratio of Sei and Dō concepts, with Dō serving as the dominant source of energy while Sei is the supporting factor. Fire is the nature of clinging. Just as flames focus onto a single point and expand outwards, clinging onto everything within their reach, the Fire School follows the same premise as the Water School in that repetitive motions are characteristic.

One strikes and defends just as nature determines a flame's path. An initial target of desire is determined and the practitioner strikes straight and true, following through with their motions depending on where their first blow was directed. Whereas the Water School flows in a closed and distinct path in order to surround the opponent, thereby being a more refined style, the Fire School expands from a single point and continues the release of force from there.
