Kyokutan Chagi
By Sinestus

Unlike many styles which train fighters in a variety of complex maneuvers which allow them to throw a multitude of attacks all ending in the same basic result, Kyokutan Chagi emphasizes knowing functional techniques that require little imbalance to the fighter. This style focuses on the control of the fighters movements to compliment the opponent in such a way that although it seems an even umber of blows are exchanged, only the opponent suffers excessive damage.
Students are taught to respect violence and never treat it as a game. Physical conflicts are to be avoided whenever possible; however, if avoidance is proven impossible or unlikely, then one is to deal with the source quickly. Opponents are to be incapacitated, then discouraged from seeking further combat. Maiming is encouraged. Often, once an opponent is rendered unconscious, a few fingers are removed from a hand as a reminder of what violence brings about.

Like Drunken Style Kung-fu, the big power in this style in the use of the Roll Attacks. Roll attack are only optional following a successful roll maneuver. The move takes two actions, but it occurs in a single exchange. (Thus opponent strikes, defender rolls with impact and immediately performs a roll-kick after.) Roll attacks cannot be automatically defended against (except for automatic rolls), and get both the Roll and Strike bonus to the attack (but only half the damage bonus). Roll Attacks can only use basic hand strikes, snap kicks, kick attacks, tripping leg hooks, and crescent kicks.
