Knives was having his technqiues come along well. The ninja seemed to have a knack for making body parts explode with power. And thats probbaly what she said. onto stage 2!!!!

"Now use your upper bod to deflect incomming attacks, and mix and match some deflections in with our kicks to really do some damage. "

show spoilerhide spoiler

Deflection
Physical :: D-B
This is a simple technique in which the user will simply deflect oncoming taijutsu strikes. The user will use their; hand's, forearm's, elbow's, knee's, and shins to divert the oncoming strikes direction to avoid damage, while also attempting to leave the opponent open for counter attack.
• Each additional rank must be trained separately. Whatever rank technique the user wishes to utilize, they pay that cost in stamina.

White Fissure
Physical :: D
The user performs a powerful round kick aimed for the leg, torso, or head of the opponent. Using this attack to close the distance with the enemy, the user aims a quick punch or elbow for the enemy’s torso or head, usually the one the kick did not aim for.
• Performed with increased effectiveness if done after a defense. Adds a D rank of Stamina to the desired rank of “Round Fissure” performed

Gold Fissure
Physical :: D
The user steps up while throwing a relaxed back fist motion, aiming to impact the head of the opponent or to move a defending limb. With this given opening, the user then performs a fast side kick for the opponents exposed head or torso.
• Adds a D rank of Stamina to the desired rank of “Side Fissure” performed

Tenken
Physical :: D
The user, after entering and closing the distance with the target, will off angle their entire body on a 90 degree angle. Not only does this allow for more attacks to come from different and weird angles for the opponent to have to deal with, it also limits the angles and directions the opponent can mount a successful counter attack from.

Ken of the Long Knives

Sunagakure's Butcher

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives had completed the first part in a long series of training his body would go through. Even though San had mentioned the next section he was required to hone his body even more. Knives began to work on his impacting and physical endurance. As if trying to learn the techniques of the training were not enough he was forced to do these. Ah well but that is progress, the need to make sure the things that you do were perfect and set down just right. He began with his speed, while his other styles helped out he was always in the need to move faster. Right now the Shukaku wasn't helping with that.

'What? I didn't do that, it's not my fault you've not mastered my great power yet.'
'Yeah yeah yeah.'

Knives continued to work on his speed trying to complete the circuit he set up quicker each time. The circuit included several stages of endurance in cardio, use of strength to ensure that his body maintained itself. Without a proper body there was no way that these techniques would be learned properly. That was the best case scenario, worst is that he could lose and possibly die. Knives also took the time to practice his attacks

Once knives had taken the tie to increase his endurance and speed he moved into the actual techniques. He directed that one of his students attack him. Each time Knives was attacked he took his arms to deflect his opponent away rather than getting in a grappling match with them. He would then use his fissure attacks to create a counter. But he mixed it up this time. He used a round kick that was to attack the leg of his opponent and then attack an open limb. That or the head of his opponent. It was a nice new addition to the already powerful and deadly attacks the kicks were. Knives continued to deflect the body of his opponent with the other limbs of his body. A simple punch could be brushed aside by his forearm. A kick could easily be counted by his arms, or even his own shins. It was a game of endurance and pounding against the structure of his own body. But with every deflection his bones and body grew stronger.

Knives moved to face his opponent head on and stepped up towards the opponent. He threw a more relaxed back fist motion to move a limb out of the way. However, he quickly performed a quick straight fissure at the newly exposed head as punishment. The hand was more of a fake attack to be backed up by the blast to the head or even the torso of his opponent.

Knives did the smae move of coming from the front of his enemy. However, after he had closed the gap between him and his opponent he used his body to be at a different angle entirely. A principle that seemed common, however this was a more extreme 90 degree than most stances. With this stance his opponent had only a few places in which they could attack. While Knives himself could use his attacks with his powerful kicks.

San gave a nod to the training tower man, and ran his hands over the scroll again. Man this kid was physically capable. Did Millenius have a kid? There was certainly a resemblance.

"Very Good Knives. Your now onto the next stage, which means your body and mind needs to be prepared. Apply the same principles of force generation that you use for your kicking techniques, and perform it with your upper body now. Practice off angling and avoiding an attack, and then bust in to defeat your enemy. Your training in Jing Shen Jie Fang should help. Then use your chakra to make your movements faster!"

Upper Fissure
Physical :: C
After observing and practicing with kicks for so long, the user begins to observe punches and elbows in the same manner. Utilizing the torquing of their hips and the pressing of their legs, the user can perform either a front or back elbow or punch.
• encompasses jab, reverse punch, hook punch, horizontal elbow, rising elbow, and falling elbow.

Green Fissure
Physical :: C
When an opponent’s technqiue is coming for the opponent, the user quickly jumps off line and performs a powerful front kick for the gut of the opponent, then aims a simple punch for their head. A quick and simple defense that can also be used offensively, with the off angle designed to confuse or trick the opponent.

Shukichi
Complex :: C
The user flows chakra into their feet, which will allow for faster more ballistic movements. The speed of this technique almost eclipses the shunshin no jutsu, but its distance is nowhere near as far. It can only be used to move within 50m, and due to the speed the user will be unable to strike the opponent while moving in this technique. With that said, however, it is a fantastic dodging and flanking technique.
• Can only be used 3 times a battle

Double Fissure
Complex :: C
The user flows chakra into their body, releasing all tension and allowing them to move with great speed and to strike with great power. From here, the user is able to perform a very fast 2 hit combination with any physical strikes from this style they desire.

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives nodded at San as he went to run the impact endurance course once again. His speed continued to increase as he ran the course more and more. He changed up which stations he went to first each time as to not get completely bored out of his mind. Not to mention by changing it up he prevented his muscles from becoming complacent. He needed the power and strength if he was going to master Shukaku. He had no desire to lose himself to the demon. Strength was what was important for several reasons. He continued to work on striking and feeling the impact of his blows against the dummies in which he attacked with his body. Knives continued to practice his body for the punishment that he continued to take from his training. He expected the best from himself and in order to be that he had to practice. And practice he would continue to do. His fists and feet working together to blast at the dummies. He would also work on his strength with lifting and the power from such training would become greatly important with this style.

Once he had conditioned his body further for the next stage he began to realize how punches and kicks were the same. How they could be used very similarly. He practiced his attacks

Knives directed that a student attack him. When the student attacked he moved off an angle to provide a powerful side kick and then aim for the head. While the kick lacked the power of a true combat attack the idea was still there. Knives could see how by stepping to the side he could confuse or irritate his opponent. But stepping to the side he could use the angle of attack to make his opponent believe that he was going for a shot to the head. When in fact the real power would be from the blow from the side kick. The kick was a front style kick but the angle was such that it appeared almost from the side. The attack could also be used to make the opponent change which part of his body he was protecting. If the opponent protected his core and not his face he would pay. If the fact was protected that left open all the squishy insides for attacks from a brutal kick. Knives moved into another style that could be used while your opponent was charging at you.

He moved chakra into his feet to move quickly over short distances. This ability allowed him to move way before his opponent reached him. The movement was quick, however due to this he was only able to move short distances. But that distance was more than enough to avoid an attack. Similarly with this distance he could still launch a few of his attacks that he had. This gave him an idea for something that he should try later. Knives used this quick movement to move not only left and right but also to flank his enemy. Such speed would surely be hard to track. Using his quickness, Knives could move now to the back of his opponent. A deadly and superior positioning, for Knives. With an unprotected back knives could imagine several of the things he could do to any vampire or werewolf or leprechaun. opponent. Maybe he'd even get to see lucky charms out of one even though he never had to kill a leprechaun before


Knives heard that it was possible to give a great one two blow with his new found chakra abilities and he had to try this one out for sure. He felt his chakra throughout his body working to ease the tension of the muscles that he had been working with for hours slowly go away. When he felt that all of his muscles had finally relaxed enough he took his stance and began. He combined several of the techniques in the style together. From throwing a swift side kick and then a straight fissure. To throwing elbows and then blasting his opponent away. Knives could feel and see how powerful this technique could easily become. And that was good, for it is what he wanted. He wanted to be able to master the Shukaku and be able to prove his worth.

'Dude, come on lay off the cliches already will you?'

San read the scroll again, and noted Knives's quick gain in skill. He was still very intrigued with how powerful he could become. Certainly, his skill would be very useful in missions to come.

"There is a defensive technique similar to ones you found in Jing Shen Jie Fang. Use your accuracy and strong body with your attacks and defenses to make the enemy pay. At the same time, use your defenses to make the enemy have to cross themselves and fight them. "

show spoilerhide spoiler

Twisting Block
Physical :: B
The user covers their torso and head by crossing their arms in front of their body, with their back hand up at their head, palm facing the opponent and their front hand down infront of their body in a fist. Forming this bridge of bone, the user is able to successfully defend even a flurry of strikes, B rank and below, as they cover nearly every valuable target on their body with a bridge of bone. From this defensive position, the user will be able to parry an attack and counter attack while little of an opening.

Nerve Strike
Complex :: B
The user flows some chakra into their limb of choice, and then strikes the enemy. Even if their defend the strike, the opponent will feel like they just received an awful charley horse on the limb that was struck, making it immovable for 1 post. One the second post, mobility will be back, but the user will be plagued by a distracting tingling in the limb. By the third post, the limb is back to normal.

Numbing Defense
Complex :: B
The user flows some chakra into their own defending limb, hardening the impact point. When the opponent strikes the defending limb, they will feel like the impact actually hurt them, giving them painful charley horse making it immovable for 1 post. One the second post, mobility will be back, but the user will be plagued by a distracting tingling in the limb. By the third post, the limb is back to normal.
• Only effective against C rank and lower attacks

Swimming Defense
Training :: B
The user, through several uses of parrying and defensive use, is now capable of using parrys from other styles in conjunction with this style while manipulating the parry to point they can now “swim” from outside to inside, or inside to outside. This offers the user an interesting chance of avoiding strikes, as well as limiting the offensive chances and angles of the opponent and target while maximizing their own counter attack possibilities.

Knives nodded at San as he went to run the impact endurance course once again. His speed continued to increase as he ran the course more and more. Once again he had to do this, not that he minded. This time he made a completely new course. He changed up which stations he went to first each time as to not get completely bored out of his mind. Not to mention by changing it up he prevented his muscles from becoming complacent. He needed the power and strength if he was going to master Shukaku. He had no desire to lose himself to the demon. Strength was what was important for several reasons. He continued to work on striking and feeling the impact of his blows against the dummies in which he attacked with his body. Knives continued to practice his body for the punishment that he continued to take from his training. He expected the best from himself and in order to be that he had to practice. And practice he would continue to do. His fists and feet working together to blast at the dummies. He would also work on his strength with lifting boulders supplied all around the dojo. and the power from such training would become greatly important to Resshuuken

Knives listened well as San went through the scroll and the techniques that were required of him. It was taking more and more of his focus and concentration in order to learn now. But he kept pushing himself to finish. By the end of the day he wanted to have these two new powerful styles learned. Only then could he take a break. He took he hands and practiced creating a field of defense from head to foot. He directed his student to attack and knives would block. He was a bit unorthodox to him at first. However, with practice knives was finally able to get the idea down. With every attack his opponent made he kept trying to lessen the amount of opportunities that his opponent had to attack him. All at the same time he made sure that he himself had the most amount of attacks possible while defending against his attacker. Eventually for knives the block became a natural motion and movement for him.

Knives continued to work on his block. Only now this time he added chakra into one of his limbs that would be doing the blocking. This flow of chakra caused his attacker to flinch in pain, rather than knives. He liked that. Instead of him taking the damage his opponent would. Granted the effects wore off shortly. In a pinch however this attack could be useful in trying to gain a quick counter attack. Knives worked to make sure that he was able to control the chakra in all of his defending limbs. While his arms were the main limb in which he was to defend the others were just as likely. He focused on getting the chakra to form and harden his shins particularly as they were often used in strikes.

Knives moved from not only defending with his chakra infused limbs but also to attacking. His feet in particular would be useful. Already they were being used for powerful kicks. By added the chakra to his feet, if the initial impact did not render his foes unconscious at least the flow of chakra in his feet would immobilize them. If not their body at least whatever limb he made contact with. Again the attack was only temporary, but an opponent with only one workable arm was better to fight than an opponent who had both arms available to him. Consequently with one leg immobilized made it easier for knives to come up with a killing blow with his blades.

'Or you could kill him for me. Cause let's just get this out of the way, yes most of my sand has the blood of dead adventurers shinobi.'

"Your doing great Knives. Keep up the good work, we are almost done! Just some more hardcore training, then let you take a breather. Ok?"

San went through the scroll once again, and gave a small grimace. It seemed knives was going to have more fun then he was.

"Well then...um...these will take some time. take your technqiues and try to move with them, like switch kicking or spinning. then....you gotta learn to take a hit. use your training and chakra to make your technqiues three times as fast.

show spoilerhide spoiler

Moving Fissure
Physical :: A
The user, through utilizing a bit of foot work, maximizes their torqueing and acceleration potential for attacking while hiding what attack they are really going for. The user can either switch their feet, or even spin to create extra torque, momentum, and acceleration be strike they wish to perform without adding extra time for the strike to occur. That’s torque!
• Treats whatever strike the user wishes like an A rank. Usually done with one of the techniques from stage 1.

Absorb and Redirect
Physical :: A
The user, even if a strike slips through, has learned to absorb the strike and redirect it even after impact, maximizing their counter attack abilities. Although effective, it is not a recommended defense for repeated use.
• Able to defend A rank techniques and lower. Has a 1 post cool down.

Triple Fissure
Complex :: A
The user flows chakra into their body, controlling the activation of muscles to greatly increase their kicking speed. From here, the user throws 3 powerful round kicks for the enemy either aiming for the same target or separate target. Aiming for the same target can yield greater damage, as it is difficult to defend against three repeatedly strong fissure kicks. However, aiming for different targets makes it more difficult to defend, and has a higher chance for success.

Causing Fissures
Training :: A
The user has trained so extensively in the art of kicking, that they actually are now vastly better at it. Their impacting sites are toughened, and they are able to maximizing the amount of force their body can physically put out. Lower body striking power is increased.

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives wiped some sweat from his hands and took a drink of water. Did he hear right, three times? Three times as fast? Oh this was going to be good. Knives picked up the weighted flak vest that he was borrowing from a student, perhaps he should look into that. Wait no the armor he wore normally was more than enough for that. Still it was a good idea. With the added weight up on himself he pushed himself to finish another round of running courses. All the while during the run he was practicing his punches and elbows. Not the easiest thing to do, but the point for knives in this was more to provide his body with chakra to the points of impact that he was to make with his attacks. Knives began to harden himself by not only impacting upon other surfaces but allow others to attack him. Yeah his students were the most confused at that too. This man, this mountain of a man was telling students to attack him?! Suicide surely they would be in the hospital for weeks from his retaliation right? Well no actually. Once his students attacked him first as he tried to get his body used to being attacked.

After his students had realized that Knives wasn't completely just taking it. For several had complained of limbs being sore after hitting Knives. Of course he denied using the numbing defense, they were still suspicious of him. Knives moved back into footwork for the next technique of this giant style of taijutsu. Knives started out with basic fissures. Though it seemed at he was going for more than the power that they were typically given. With every attempt at attack his blows became more powerful. Almost to the point where students were basically allowing him to attack earth clones just to say their own skin, and bones. The power of hiding his true attack and putting that much power behind it was just mind boggling to Knives. But he liked it and continued to work the style. Using his feet as a fake tell to his opponent. With his feet set for say a straight fissure he moved into another attack such as a round fissure.

Once again the students were directed to attack Knives. They were really getting reluctant, and knives knew his ryo was going to be pretty far gone after he thanked them. Knives took the attacks, but instead of doubling over in pain he was able to redirect the attack. With this ability he was able to get his opponents more open for a counter. With each student that attacked him he gained more and more prowess. He began to play with how he directed the attack after impact. The first few options he simply directed it to the side. Typically the side of his strong arm, or well preferred arm. After awhile however he learned to be able to direct it in several different directions. With each passing attempt he learned to redirect the attack. However, it was very taxing on him and often he had to do other training between practicing his redirects. Eventually he was able to direct the attack with minimal pain to his person. Don't get him wrong it still hurt but the ability to move his opponents attacks even after impact was greatly helpful to know.

Three times, three times the attack. Knives almost lost it at that one. These techniques were powerful enough but three? That would be more than enough to take out any simple person.
'How'd you like to get kicked in the fact from three of these things big guy?' He teased the Shukaku as he readied himself for the end of this. He started with one target at first. Using three different kicks in combination did remind him of Jing Shen Jie Fang quite a bit. Not quite as animalist but almost more raw power from the legs. He would practice until he could throw any combination of the fissures without hesitation. Many of the students were in awe of this newly found, or least newly found to them, jutsu. Knives smiled in admiration of the attacks that he was waging upon not one but now multiple targets. Attacking more than one opponent was something Knives had come to realize was a life or death thing. If you could not handle several opponents your life would be forfeit. Luckily thanks to the ability to attack multiple targets as well as prevent targets from surrounding was now part of his arsenal of attacks.


The sheer amount of knowledge that he had learned from kicking was unimaginable to him. He hoped that with this knowledge that he might be able to instill it in the next group of students. Sure San was good, but reading from a scroll was no match to being able to show it. Besides at some point San would not be in the village and someone would need to be around to teach would they not? He chuckled to himself as he took a knee from the sheer amount of work he had put himself through. Even then he was not done yet. He still had one more section to go to learn. He looked at San as he waited for the instructions for the next part of this style. One of the most intensive styles he had ever heard about or seen with his eyes. He drank once again to put water back in his system before he started on San's instruction.
'Well I see you're into some kinky kinds of things.
'Dude, what? I have no idea what you're on about.'

San spoke to Kamiya as he inquired about the style Knives was learning. San could easily handle instruction, and explanation.

"Its a Land of Fire style called Ressuken, or fissure kick first. Very powerful, very intensive, very devastating when used properly. He is actually about to hit the last stage of the style. Knives! Use your chakra to form an armor over your body, make a difference for defensive and offensive style. Then use the sweat on your legs, and make a powerful explosive ball. Try to createe the collosion, maybe even jumping into your attack. Your almost done body! Show me what you got!"

Armor Of the Crevice
Spiritual :: S
The user coats their body in chakra, maximizing either their offensive or defensive capabilities.
-Offensive: The user places chakra over their muscles, maximizing their offensive potential. All offensive physical technqiues are treated as +2 ranks, while complex techniques are treated as +1 rank.
-Defensive: The user forms a helmet over their head, as well as coats the vital areas and defense point sin chakra to maximize defense. All physical defensive techniques are treated as +2 ranks, while complex techniques are treated as +1 ranks.
• armor lasts for 5 posts. Only usable 2 in a battle.

Fissure Canon Ball
Spiritual :: S
The user forms a dense and powerful bowling ball sized orb in their mind. Dropping the orb to their feet and then using their powerful kick to fire it, the orb 'travels' about the speed of an arrow for the target, hitting like a freight train and detonating on impact, like a lower torso 'Afternoon Tiger'. This orb is so dense that it can go straight through A rank techniques and chakra barriers, detonating and canceling out other S rank techniques while keeping the user safe, given that they are a good enough distance from it. The 'orb' explodes with the power of 25 explosive notes' heat, made from the legs' sweat.

Flying Fissure
Physical :: S
Utilizing their powerful lower body, the user takes off into the air, launching their entire body towards the opponent while striking for their leg, torso, or head without any additional time. The impact of this strike or combination is greatly improved over the other technqieus of this style, as the user utilizes all their power and weight to improve the impact, while at the same time increasing the range in which they can strike.
• Jumping distance is a maximum of 30 feet. Technique utilized is at a S rank level.

Creating the Collision
Training :: S
The user is now so adept that they can utilize parrying technqiues from other styles in coordination with these styles counter attacks. Also, by controlling their own positioning and movement while utilizing their opponents movements and positioning, the user causes a collision to occur making the impact force even greater. Counter attacking power is increased.

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives nodded at San and grabbed his gear up one last time. For now this would be the last time that he would do this endurance training. He took off down the course at the fastest speed he could. He didn't care how heavy he had become given the demon sand he was going to finish and this was going to be done right. Correctly and with vast amounts of power. Wearing his weighted gear he ran the course faster than he had ever run it. Faster than he thought he could even possibly run it himself. After he had finished the run he moved into quick combat. When he said quick, he really meant it. Moving from one opponent to another he quickly assaulted each one. His body becoming a blur and the dummy well becoming less and less filled with stuffing and overall health of the dummy dropped too. Knives worked on his quick foot work. It also helped that he was able to move around and blast everyone of his opponents with quick firsts and swift feet.

Knives breathing was heavy his muscles ached but he was almost done. It was time to make the final push to finish and master this technique. The power needed and added would be great. He moved his chakra and felt it form around his muscles. He felt his muscles increase in power. It was almost as if he was able to make his attacks even more powerful. This was the ultimate level of the Resshuuken. The power that his attacks now provided now almost made him feel like a person battering ram. He practiced blasting things with his powered up muscles. He practice blasting dummies with the powerful armor that he used on himself. He moved to use the chakra he had as a defensive move. It was just as powerful. He was able to block his opponent's attacks with ease. The power given to him from his own chakra was immense and powerful. Attacks from lower level ninja almost all but bounced off his body. At least that is how it felt to Knives. The downside to this armor for both offensive and defensive capabilities is that it was very draining. He did not feel as if he could use this power for very long or very often. Useful if he was trying to get the fight over quickly or needed to bust through something perhaps?

In his mind Knives began to picture an orb. An orb the size of perhaps a bowling ball. This orb moved through his body trying to find out where he wished to send it. He dropped the orb to his feet as if it were a soccer ball. Knives knew all about fighting with kicked objects. After all he was known for his knife kick technique. Or he hoped that he was anyway. With the ball in his foot, oh did we mention that the orb was made from the vast amount of sweat that he had been creating. Sweatjutsu, nice. He blasted the ball into the wall of the dojo. The blast almost completely blew the wall away. Knives in no way felt sorry for it either. He and the others in the dojo were just too shocked at what had just happened. Sweat chakra had just blasted though the solid walls of the academy. Knives knew it could be fixed but good lord.

Knives could feel how powerful his feet had become. His legs pulsed with energy, or maybe that was the acid build up and he was beginning to cramp. Regardless, he flexed his feet getting to the balls of his feet to jump. With all the power in his legs he was able to blast into a dummy quickly and hard. The speed in which he was able to launch himself was insane. Not only did the launch allow him to improve the impact of a kick, but it also allowed him to use other styles. Knives just smiled at the thought of launching himself with this kind of power and blasting a blade into someone's throat.

In thinking of using the knowledge he had gained with other techniques Knives thought seriously for a moment upon the subject. He thought about how he could combine the use of his launching techniques with other styles he had learned. He took some time to practice with them. Launching himself at first with his blades, after he had picked them back up of course. Once he landed he was about to use the force in his arms to not only throw an elbow but to use his blades. The Blades would whip back to catch up, but because of physics they would be launched with even greater force than they would normally. Knives also practiced his steps to uses his blades to attack from an off angle. Knives also used the ability to launch himself at his opponent with a variation on the flying fissure to increase the power behind tackling his opponent in order to pin his opponent. Once pinned he could easily go into his olympia stance.

Knives stomp kicked a dummy one last time before letting out a roar of triumphic victory. He had done it, he had become the new master of a style insane and powerful.

Yo-ko

An outlaw walking through the valley of men
glared with a sunken eye of death
moved his head from side to side and said
come on you gutless slugs fight like a man
state your name and business and let's see what you got
another body for the hangman's count
show me the bar, and show me the cards

A round of applause would occur from the Sannin, a huge smile formed across his face. He was genuinely impressed. To see the training and improvement right before his "eyes" was very itneresting to observe. This kid, with no noble family or bloodlines, made a warrior of himself from blood, sweat, tears, and pure grit.

"Congratulations Knives, yo have impressed me. Your body mechanics are amazing, your systems working on an entirely different level then when i first met you. Do you feel your improvement?"

Staring at Knives' progress with wide eyes Kamiya turned to San.
"do... do you think you could show me something?"
he asked excitedly holding his kukri close.

San noted the question from Kamiya, as well as his keeness on his kukri. Giving a Nod to the red panda Aioko.

"I cant, but Aioko can. Aioko?"

"The first principle is to move first, then block. Staying in constant motion should really be helpful"

Tilting his head at the bear Kamiya was perplexed as to the actual meaning. if he moved wouldn't he be able to simply be out of the way and not need to block? he wasn't sure just what was going to go on but if he could learn then he would do anything.
"so if i move first. i then block? wouldn't i just be able to use the move to move out of the attack?"
he questioned his new sensei with earnest curiosity.
