Shuurai Hasshō-ken Do [Way of the Eight Lightning Strikes Fist]
Type: Nintaijutsu
Background: Believed in the Country of Lightning to be one of the oldest taijutsu styles still in practice, Shuurai Hasshō-ken Do was originally developed by the monks that helped to create the first incarnation of the Hidden Village of Cloud long before there were even inklings of such a drastic change. Honed over hundreds of years, this style has been given an essential definition that is rooted in the paradox of the practice of the style itself: "What you cannot see can indeed hurt you."
The paradoxical nature of this style is the fact that despite being called the 'Way of the Eight Lightning Strikes Fist,' practitioners of Shuurai Hasshō-ken Do are known for their meticulously, almost languidly slow pace during practice. A simple movement bringing a fist across the chest from left to right may take up to a full minute or more in practice, but therein lies the difficulty itself. During all movements, muscles are constantly tensed and released without exerting much outward motion, thus making the slowness of the style the way in which it tones the body. Many practitioners choose to hold large buckets filled to the very brim with water while practicing, hoping to attain a sort of rigid fluidity, a statement that highlights the paradox present in the style's practice.
In combat however, the practitioner demonstrates exactly what this type of practice does for his or her close combat ability. As they master the lightning element the user learns to generate high frequency vibrations by manipulation of their lightning chakra. As the practitioner progresses, the laboriously slow practice tones the muscles in such a way that muscle reaction times are increased exponentially with every level of the style achieved. Thus, in a combat situation, the practitioner spends the fight attacking with extremely quick single hits and flurries coupled with the vibrations which can bypasses most standard forms of defense as well as damage to internal organs or the bones due to the reverberating shockwaves. The practitioner's training allows them to rapidly responding to any counter-attacks made, and then repeating the process ad lib. When mastery of this style is attained, some users have been known to appear to stand still while their opponent is mysteriously ravaged and bloodied when coming near to them. Despite the general lack in strength exhibited even by masters of this style, it is still a wholly destructive art.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:
Mastering the Lightning Strike Fist is no easy task and takes even the most skilled ninja years to obtain full control and mastery over their chakra and bodies in order to preform the style. Over the course of the training the user will gradually get faster and faster and will exhibit increased reaction speed as well as body control and physical speed. The style contains 5 stages of mastery to which users of the style will advance nine ranks of progress as the ninja grows and becomes a full fledged shinobi. The ranks are as follows:
In the first stage of learning Shuurai Hasshō-ken Do, the practitioner focuses in training on slow, fluid motion while flexing and releasing different areas of muscle in combintaion with thier lightning chakra in order to learn to use the lightning to control the muscle. No aids are yet used to provide extra resistance to the training, only strict guidance from a good teacher with a judgemental hand. In battle, the practitioner focuses on blocking with sweeping motions and striking with fast single strikes, taking advantage of the forms learned in practice. After mastering this stage the ninja will show a increased amount of speed in movement and shows an increased reaction speed, they will also take advantage of small scale vibrations enough to cause discomfort and dizziness.
Rank: Beginner - Enthusiast
Nidankai: An'unteimei [Second Stage: The Gathering Stormclouds]
After a suitable duration of undertaking the first style to build on the basics, the teacher will add a tool to the practitioner's repertoire - small cups filled to the brim with a liquid which the student will be forced to control his chakra to vibrate the waters at the same frequency. The goal of this addition is to work on the fluidity of the movements while still maintaining rigid muscle and chakra control. In battle, the practitioner's speed is noticeably faster than the average ninja, and while the sweeping blocks are now accompanied by extremely fast forearm and shin blocks, the single fast strike policy still stands for attacking only now it is coupled with quick burst of high frequency vibrations that can bypass through the skin causing a numbing sensation and a ringing of the ears as the vibration passes into the body.
Rank: Apprentice - War Artisan
Sandankai: Yorunotobari [Third Stage: The Veil of Darkness]
The third stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do is a grueling one, as whole days are sometimes spent a single position, the two cups of the previous stage being accompanied now by cups positioned on the head, shoulders, tops of the hands and feet, and on the knees. The user spends long durations in a sitting position with arms level at the shoulders, but without a chair to sit on. Sometimes, if the teacher is feeling particularly cruel, the student may be asked to try walking in a small circle while the cups are all still in place. In battle, the practitioner begins to use striking flurries in addition to the quick single vibrating strikes that can cause internal bleeding with a direct hit and even destroy some small scale earth techniques. The user after learning to add counters behind the now extremely fast blocks can use this in combination to his vibration to disorient attacking opponents into having small muscle spasm making thie attack miss unexpectedly. With the mastery of the last two stages, the user moves at increased pace enough to rival a lee with his leg weights.
Rank: Warrior - High Warrior
Yodankai: Haizename [Fourth Stage: The Torrential Rain]
Once the practitioner has attained what the instructor deems to be proper levels of fluidity and solidity, the cups in hand are traded in for medium-sized buckets of water with rough rope handles, which are still filled to the brim with a liquid. The rest of the cups of the previous stage are removed. This adds the extra aspect of maintaining fluidity while improving on muscle control due to the resistance of the added fluid weight. In battle, the practitioner approaches speeds that will baffle the human eye should they not have mastered NB Taijutsu and attacks thatbatter the human body. Due to intense training the user will be able to control every strike, counter, and dodge to a keen precision. Strong single strikes and the occasional flurry are still the mainstay of the practitioner's offense, though there is now a considerable increase in the power behind the vibrations. At this stage the vibrations stimulates reactions in the muscles causing them to cause muscle spasms and potentially considerable internal damage. A single blow to the heart or brain can knock a man out with only the vibrations even if the initial strikes don't connect.
Rank: Master - Licensed Master
Saishuudankai: Tekken Tenrai no Raijin [Final Stage: The Divine Fist of Raijin]
In the final stage of Shuurai Tekken Do, the teacher acknowledges the student's abilities by leaving the last training up to him, as the learning is now essentially complete. A complete emphasis on speed should be the focus of the training in the Final Stage; some training methods used in the past include weighted training underwater, deep squats carrying livestock on the shoulders while standing under a waterfall, and other such extremes. In combat, the practitioner is now the stuff of the legends surrounding this style, seeming to be able to attack and move like Rock Lee without his weights. Striking and countering become so fluid and fast that some say the blocks are almost up before the opponent's strike begins and the counter is made before the strike is retracting. The vibrations released can ravage opponent's bodies some rupturing organs or sometimes breaking bones. Earth caves in under the overwhelming intensity of the vibrations and can even cause some damage to the user in extreme cases.
Rank: Elder
Usage Examples:
Shuurai Hassho-Ken Do - Sanhekinami| (Eight Lightning Strikes Fist - Three Burst Wave)
Rank: A
Type: Attack/Defense
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user focuses on the training done in the first four stages of Eight Lightning Strikes Fist and generates a mass of lightning chakra into his limb to stimulate them and have them work much more effectively. With three quick strikes, the user targets the opponents upperbody releasing vibrations into them as the strikes connect. The force behind this attack sends the opponent back a few feet while causing numbing, ringing of the ears, and enough internal damage to make an opponent cough blood from impact. The strikes happen so fast that they can be used to counteract an oncoming taijutsu attack coming at the user of A-rank or lower.

Shuurai Tekken Do [Way of the Lightning Strike Fist]
Type: Nintaijutsu
Background: Believed in the Country of Lightning to be one of the oldest taijutsu styles still in practice, Shuurai Tekken Do was originally developed by the monks that helped to create the first incarnation of the Hidden Village of Cloud long before there were even inklings of such a drastic change.

Over the course of the training the user will gradually get faster and faster and will exhibit increased reaction speed as well as body control and physical speed. The style contains 5 stages of mastery that begin at the genin level and progress as the ninja grows and becomes a full fledged shinobi.
Shokidankai: Arashinomaenoshizukesa [Initial Stage: The Calm Before the Storm]
In the first stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do, the practitioner focuses in training on slow, fluid motion while flexing and releasing different areas of muscle in combintaion with thier lightning chakra in order to learn to use the lightning to control the muscle. No aids are yet used to provide extra resistance to the training, only strict guidance from a good teacher with a judgemental hand. In battle, the practitioner focuses on blocking with sweeping motions and striking with fast single strikes, taking advantage of the forms learned in practice. After mastering this stage the ninja will show a increased amount of speed in movement and shows an increased reaction speed.
Nidankai: An'unteimei [Second Stage: The Gathering Stormclouds]
After a suitable duration of undertaking the first style to build on the basics, the teacher will add a tool to the practitioner's repetoire - small cups filled to the brim with a liquid. The goal of this addition is to work on the fluidity of the movements while still maintaining rigid muscle control. In battle, the practitioner's speed is noticably faster than the average ninja, and while the sweeping blocks are now accompanied by extremely fast forearm and shin blocks, the single fast strike policy still stands for attacking only now it is coupled with quick burst of lightning to stun the area of impact.
Sandankai: Yorunotobari [Third Stage: The Veil of Darkness]
The third stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do is a grueling one, as whole days are sometimes spent a single position, the two cups of the previous stage being accompanied now by cups positioned on the head, shoulders, tops of the hands and feet, and on the knees. The user spends long durations in a sitting position with arms level at the shoulders, but without a chair to sit on. Sometimes, if the teacher is feeling particularly cruel, the student may be asked to try walking in a small circle while the cups are all still in place. In battle, the practitioner begins to use striking flurries in addition to the quick single strikes, as well as learning to add counters behind the now extremely fast blocks. With the mastery of the last two stages, the user moves a rank faster then what he actually is and the added lightning with the attacks now produce super-heated air when it connects with the opponent as the discharge heats the layer of air trapped between the clothing and the body of the victim. This causes extreme discomfort and small electrical burns.
Yodankai: Haizename [Fourth Stage: The Torrential Rain]
Once the practitioner has attained what the instructor deems to be proper levels of fluidity and solidity, the cups in hand are traded in for medium-sized buckets of water with rough rope handles, which are still filled to the brim with a liquid. The rest of the cups of the previous stage are removed. This adds the extra aspect of maintaining fluidity while improving on muscle control due to the resistance of the added fluid weight. In battle, the practitioner approaches speeds that will baffle the human eye should they have anything less than the three-tomoe Sharingan and batter the human body, but due to intense training the user will be able to control every strike, counter, and dodge to a keen precision. Strong single strikes and the occasional flurry are still the mainstay of the practitioner's offense, though there is now a considerable increase in the power behind them. At this stage the lightning discharge stimulates reactions in the muscles causing them to work like pistons, and then get released in quick burst with each strike causing considerable stuns and burns much like the last stage except on a greater scale even at the point the super-heated air can actually rip clothing apart. At this stage the lightning strikes create an unsual phenomenon that resembles what happens when actual struck by lightning called "Litchtenberg figures" which are fern-like injuries of the skin that spread across the area of impact and slow that area of movement for up to a full turn.
Saishuudankai: Tekken Tenrai no Raijin [Final Stage: The Divine Fist of Raijin]
In the final stage of Shuurai Tekken Do, the teacher acknowledges the student's abilities by leaving the last training up to him, as the learning is now essentially complete. A complete emphasis on speed should be the focus of the training in the Final Stage; some training methods used in the past include weighted training underwater, deep squats carrying livestock on the shoulders while standing under a waterfall, and other such extremes. In combat, the practitioner is now the stuff of the legends surrounding this style, seeming to be able to attack without physically moving the body from a standstill. Striking and countering become so fluid and fast that some say the blocks are almost up before the opponent's strike begins and the counter is made before the strike is retracting. The lightning released can ravage opponent's bodies giving them almost no-time to react and any metal in place on the victim's body gets heated and can cause third degree burns. While functioning within the muscles it stimulates the muscles to work faster and more effectively giving reactions and speed, as the lightning increases the neural responses to the muscles and brain.
Usage Examples:
Shuurai Tekken Do | Riptide
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 50
Description: The user focuses on the the first four stages of Lightning Strike Fist and generates a mass of chakra into his muscles to stimualte them and have them work much more effectively. With three quick strikes, the user targets the opponents chest and shoulders discharging a decent amount of lightning into them as the strikes connect. The force behind this attack sends the opponent back afew feet while causing numbing and a few burn marks from impact. The strikes happen so fast that only those with training in the style or Sharingan eye can see the attack coming, although without certain training they may be unable to react.
Shuurai Tekken Do | Raijin's Block
Rank: B
Type: Attack/Defense
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 30
Description: Focusing on the practices learned in the third stage of Lightning Strike Fist, the user will quickly parry the opponents attack at the last possible instance to throw them off guard, then by doing so he strikes the appendage(s) that were attacking and discharges lightning into them rendering it useless for the next turn.
Additional effects and Restrictions:
~Since the style focuses on speed the user loses a vast amount of power in striking making the techniques slightly weaker in terms of damage.
~To use this style you must have a bio that orignates with Kumogakure or be a member of the Hidden Cloud Village.
~Must have mastery of Lightning Element
~Must have mastered Taijutsu.
Notes:
Edited the descriptions of the styles incorporating more Lightning into the style.

~Declined~
Three reasons why this style isn't approvable: The Raikage's nintaijutsu, Kaito's Taijutsu, and Scaze's Mantis Style CFS. This infringes on all three of them for different reasons. Kaito's taijutsu has multiple moves where lightning chakra is focused and used in strikes, similarly to what you're doing here (that said, just focusing lightning in your fists can be submitted as normal nintaijutsu customs anyway), Scaze's technique involves more intricate diffusion of lightning on strikes, and as I'm sure you know the Raikage already has claim over boosting your speed with lightning and using it to increase power in general.
