Renkan Keikikou

Renkan Keikikou is the martial arts of the Takakura clan.

Overview
Renkan Keikikou is based off of Mukuuken a Chinese martial art and is widely considered the 'ultimate fist'. Reserved only for those whom have reached the absolute pinnacle of martial arts, there exists styles of such a combat field that allow for actions that are "beyond the physical". Those who reach this level are known to have ascended beyond the realm of standard hand-to-hand combat and have reached a precipice far beyond standard comprehension. No longer do their movements become restricted by physical limitations, nor by any form of distance, nor their techniques by logic, as they completely abandon causality. In doing so, the warrior no longer becomes a simple fighter, but a weapon of force in its purest sense. He is the embodiment of an army, taking the form of a single man, turning any form of confrontation into either a massacre, genocide, or a war; perhaps even each of them in a single instance. Having disregarded cause in and of itself, the martial artist is capable of producing techniques without the actual need for physical engagement of the opponent(s). The attack truly occurs, the block truly occurs, the joint lock truly occurs, but also does not. The master needs not to undergo the cause behind what his attacks can do, as now there only exists what the technique is and the end result of unleashing it upon an opponent.

In the Renkan Keikikou it is the act of materializing one's will to "strike", the attack crushing down and tearing apart any and all opposition that should meet their perception. The basic concept of Ki energy is that it's all around you. It shapes you, molds you, makes you a part of everything, it flows through you to everything around you. The air you breathe, the ground you step upon, the fluids in your body, the fire in your spirit, they're all the same thing, just different expressions. However ki is so much more then that. You think the world is made of Solids, Fluids and Gasses...but they're really all one and the same thing! You keep thinking there's a separation. Warriors draw on it every time they focus their battle aura. It's not just all around you--IT IS YOU! You are energy expressed in form. Through will and mind the Renkan Keikikou allows practitioners to change the expression of chi by changing its direction and flow forming a method of combat which makes use of the surroundings as a weapon.
