Way of Chi

Way of Chi is a special taijutsu move created by Takumi Uchiha and later adapted by Rei Kishi. Takumi happens to be the master of his own created form of martial art, which he refers to as "Way of Chi", this consists of internal damaging such as leaving the opponent with internal bleeding, paralyzed limbs, induced pain or overlapped muscles. A way similar to the Gentle Fist, mastered through years of training. This form of fighting targets vulnerable spots on the human body, nerve clusters and joints. It is said to be the gateway for students to experimentally understand the martial aspects of the internal martial arts (內家 nèijiā): leverage, reflex, sensitivity, timing, coordination and positioning. It works to undo a person's natural instinct to resist force with force, teaching the body to yield to force and redirect it. Health oriented t'ai chi schools may teach push hands to complement the physical conditioning available from performing solo form routines. The technique allows students to learn how to respond to external stimuli using techniques from their forms practice. Among other things, training with a partner allows a student to develop ting jing (listening power), the sensitivity to feel the direction and strength of a partner's intention. In that sense this is a contract between students to train in the defensive and offensive movement principles of their martial art: learning to generate, coordinate and deliver power to another and also how to effectively neutralize incoming forces in a safe environment.

Takumi uses the technique mostly to use use the attackers own momentum against them and push them away with a single strike of hands, although the strike may hurt a little and leaves a burning sensation on the outside but on the inside it causes muscles to overlap thereby makes his opponent(s) unable to use their physical prowess. Takumi states that this style also requires the user to be agile and well trained gymnast to make nimble movements.
