Yuri walks onto the training grounds and gazed upon a young man with spikey blonde hair, a youngling looking to learn the arts of the Hyuuga Clan. "You must be Izaku-kun" Yuri said rather casually before signalling him to follow "We won't be holding the training here, this way" whilst walking towards their destination Yuri briefly looks over his shoulder towards his student "While we walk, why don't you tell me what you know of our proud clan and the things we are capable of-.. a little dialogue to pass the time"
That's right, my name is Izaku Raiken Hyuuga. If I may, what is your name Senpai?
Izaku replied in a very cool and collected manner. It was then that Izaku was signalled to follow his teacher to a different training location. It was a very beautiful morning, the sunlight bathed both Izaku and his teacher as they strolled through the woodlands. The light of the sun struck Izaku's blonde hair, causing it to shine brightly. While casually walking Izaku was asked about the clan and what they were capable of. Izaku couldn't help but look down towards his right hand and directly at his Hyuuga Amulet which was located directly on his wrist. The amulet belonged to one of the branch family members that laid down their life in order to protect him from a lethal threat in the past.
Our clan is one of the great Noble Clans of Konohakure along with the Uchiha. The clan is so large and powerful that it was given it's own sector within the village itself, that alone display's the clan's potency. Are clan members are passed down and born with a genetic kekkei genkai, a blood line limit. It is one of the great Doujutsu, eye techniques the Byakugan. The Byakugan is the most prized possession of the clan and sought by many in the ninja world. The Byakugan gives the user the ability to focus intensely on their visual powers, being able to not only view clearly and further but also in nearly 360 degrees around them. They do have a weak point, and it is somewhere around the neck area, not being able to see through that weak point. The more we train the better our vision gets as well as everything else that is related to it. Due to our vision, we are even giving an x-ray type of ability that allows us to even through a person internally into his organs and chakra circulatory system. Not only are we able to see into them, but we are able to see through them, further enhancing our ability to see at a distance, ignoring per say, things such as people, trees and obstacles. With this great clarity and perception the clan members began to incorporate that skill into their close combat usage. It was then that the Gentle fist style was born. Without the Byakugan the style could not be accomplished. Gentle Fist is a method in which the user uses either palm strikes or more individualized strikes with their finger tips in order to release chakra from their pours in a very concentrated manner in order to pierce and cause internal damage to the chakra points of the user's body. In order to view these points, the user uses their Byakugan to aid them, being able to see each individual points which equal out to be 361 in total. The clan member specialize in striking these points, becoming very knowledgeable in regards to the body's autonomy. Striking such small points comes at a benefit for the clan. It allowed them to process in their manipulate of chakra to such a extent that they would be able to individually control the release of the chakra from their pours, being able to release it from singular places like the finger tips as I've mentioned before or even the entire body. That's when another attribute of the clan was born, the rotation. By using their 360 degree vision, the user will rotate at fast speeds with opened and extended palms while releasing a burst of chakra from every tenkesu point, creating a defensive dome of raw chakra in order to defend themselves and repel others. After getting used to manipulating the release of chakra from their pours, the clan members in some rare cases can even go as far as to release pressurized blasts of chakra from their palms, similar to shockwaves of are or forcefully pushes by swiftly thrusting forward and releasing the built up chakra.
Now, as you already know, no ability comes without it's draw backs or downsides. Due to the power of our clan and it's abilities, a lot of people sought to steal out secrets and even our very eyes. It was then that the branch family was created long ago during the foundation era of the clan. The branch family members are forced to protect the main family members from potential threats, whether they are domestic or not. Unfortunately, they are branded with a curse seal on their foreheads that by itself, is harmless. However if activated by the main family members, it will cause great pain as their brain cells begin to be destroyed. This technique is used heavily against branch members that hold grudges and seek revenge against the main family. However, most of the time it is partially used so that they clan member is not completely killed in the process. I myself do not agree with this however it was out of my control as it was created outside of my era. It is my goal to one day change that in the Hyuga Clan it is not fair for either side.
Izaku began to look towards the sky as he expressed his feelings and thoughts to his teacher. As he did so he couldn't help but stop thinking of all the branch family members that felt caged up like birds only to be released after their death.
Yuri simply nodded his head a few times as he listened to Izaku's speech and after a long walk the duo arrives at a large dojo with a great practice room with a single luxuous chair at the back wall into which Yuri sat himself down.
Well, take a seat on the floor. Firstly, your explanation was quite superb better than most actually so with that out of the way we can get down to business. Before you can utilize gentle fist you'll have to activate your Byakugan. The Byakugan, like you said gives us a 360 degrees vision aswell as the ability to zoom in our sight and see through any matter whether it be solid or energy based, nothing can blind our absolute sight. There is indeed a blind spot but unless your opponent is many miles away it's quite impossible for them to truly take advantage of it-.. now, our ability to see chakra flows, including our own, in great detail must be the greatest perk bestowed upon us by the Byakugan and although you are still inexperienced eventually you'll even be able to recognize chakra natures while they are being released and thus before the chakra is manifested into an element. This is done through recognizing things such as vibrations, sharpness or heat in the behaviour of chakra which would essentially reveal it to be lightning, wind or fire chakra respectively. But for that you'd have to be atleast as experienced as myself.
That's the gist of it and now it's time for you to activate your Byakugan. Start off by weaving the following chain of handseals Yuri weaves a long set of handseals at a slow pace to clearly show you the correct chain [Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up] this chain of handseals allows you to amplify your chakra while you channel it into your eyes resulting in the activation of your Byakugan. Right now this might seem like a drag but eventually you'll be able to activate and deactivate it at will in a split second.
Once you've succesfully activated your Byakugan take a close look at my body and tell me everything you see.

Shortly after his lengthy explanation both Izaku and his teacher arrived in a rather big dojo. He was instructed to walk in as his teacher sat in a long chair at a distance. He was instructed to activate his dojutsu, the Byakugan. He followed his teachers hand signs and chained them together slowly while focusing great amounts of chakra into his eyes.
"( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up)"
Small veins began to reveal around the side of his eyes as his Byakugan activated and his vision was enhanced. Izaku remained calm the entire time and refrained himself from yelling out the activation of the technique like most of the users in his clan. Unlike most, he had crystaline blue eyes which then turned to the infamous pale white upon activating his Byakugan. This indirectly allowed him to fit in as opposed to most clan members as well as be targeted less. Due to his current skill level, Izaku was unable to fully grasp the concepts of his Byakugan as well as clearly see at really far distances. He tried to use the 360 degree ability, however he was unable to reach his teacher who was more than 5 meters away from him. Due to that, he was forced to activate his telecospic view so that he could get a closer as well as clearer look into his teacher's begin.
Due to my current level of skill, I was unable to reach you with the 360 degree view. I was forced to rely on the telecospic ability of the Byakugan. What I see are your tenkesu, however I am not able to see exactly every single one, it is the first time I've fully tried to view them before. I count about 287 points. What draws my attention the most is the built up chakra in your core, I assume that is where the physical and spiritual energies collide via the usage of hand seals in order to create techniques. That's where the ratios meet and are molded for the execution. If I focus deeper into the x-ray ability I am able to see your internal organs. I can view them with such clarity and detail that I can even see how fast your heart is beating. I can see that your heart is beating at a normal rate so that means you are very calm and not worried what so ever. Not that you should be, however you are verifying your confidence through your heart beat.
Not bad for your first try Izaku-kun, let's move on to Gentle Fist training. Before we begin let's go over the three categories Gentle Fist can be split amongst which I'll simply call the first, second and third styles.
The first style revolves around simple palm strikes, releasing a blunt burst of chakra from your palms with each strike damaging your opponent internally. Although this style can also be used to target one's tenketsu the best usage, in my personal opinion atleast, is to aim at your opponent's organs using the blunt wave of chakra to cause severe internal damage. The palm strikes only have to be mere slight taps as the bursts of chakra do all the work and although the first style is the simplest it is also the deadliest as using a strong enough strike you could take out your opponent with one hit by aiming for a vital organ such as their heart of brain. Ofcourse, if you're feeling confident you can aim for lesser organs or bodyparts which would merely inhibit their movements temporarily to play around a little. Most techniques are used through the first style though some can also be used through the second style but that's upto whatever you prefer. Watch closely and learn-..
Yuri creates two shadow clones whom both assume the gentle fist stance and engage eachother in combat using palm strikes at a blazing speed. One of the clones strikes the other in the center of his chest resulting in internal damage to the solar plexus through a blunt burst of chakra and damage to said area temporarily stuns the clone allowing the other to finish the job by landing strikes to the liver and heart first ending with a single strike to the bottom of the clone's chin upon which the burst of chakra would travel through it's eyes and into it's brain.
Next! the second style-.. this style revolves around dealing hits with pin point accuracy that covers a smaller area than with the first style. To use it you clench your fists only leaving your index and middle fingers extended and with each hit release a razor like burst of chakra from the finger tips of your extended fingers. This style is best suited for targetting chakra points, gates or nerves as the burst covers a much smaller area than those of the first style but at the same time this means more chakra is concentrated in a single point and thus nerve damage through this style would be much more severe than through the first style. Let me show you-..
Creating two more shadow clones Yuri orders them to assume the stance for the second style and the first clone approaches the other with a right handed strike but the other dodges and through a quick jab with his finger tips sends a razor like burst of chakra into the first clone's wrist damaging his median nerve. Damage to said area would result in motor and sensory deficits giving the first clone difficulty using his right arm putting him at a disadvantage upon which the second clone strikes him eight more times at a blazing speed, striking one of the eight gates with each hit finishing with a strike to the gate of life completely sealing up it's chakra flow.
Nice huh? Both styles can be powerful when used in the right situation and in the end depends on personal preferrence. Now, the third style is pretty open and revolves around releasing bursts of chakra from any point of your body or simply from your whole body at once. Through this style we perform our signature rotation techniques aswell. I'll wait with displaying this technique as it'd only damage the dojo otherwise-.. don't want that to happen do we now?
Before I teach you the first style I want you to name any other areas of the human body aswell as nerves that would put your opponent at a disadvantage if you deal damage to it through the use of Gentle Fist and what would be the result from damage to said areas. No need to bring up any vitals though.
Oh, and don't forget to ask any questions you might have.

Izaku brings his right hand up to chin level as he places his fingers on and begins to ponder about what his teacher had just told him. He was intrigued by the two styles and he knew both had their right time and purpose and that would need to be used wisely.
All three styles are very fascinating, I like the second one the most because it is more direct in terms of individual damage, however the first form allows for a more overall rough striking radius, which could come in handy depending on the person you are fighting. If their level is low enough, one might be able to strike more preciously with the second form, if not the first should be utilized more frequently. As for the third and final form, I really like it because it opens a new door to the ability of defending against both close combat and ranged elemental attacks. This of course depends on the nature of the techniques that you are trying to defend against. How potent is the chakra that we release from our pores in relation to elemental interactions?
Personally, I would use the first style to target nerves such as the ones in the spinal cord area. For example, if I were to deal a blunt force attack to the cervical nerve which is located in the neck, the target would suffer from full body paralysis from the neck down. If for some reason, I am unable to strike that nerve, I would choose the second highest which is at the upper half of the back. This nerve is called thoracic and it would paralyze the target from the shoulders down. If for some reason I am unable to strike that one, I would sever the lumbar nerve which is nearly in the middle of the spinal cord, allowing me to paralyze the target from upper chest and below, leaving their arms free to perform ninjutsu techniques, which might be a problem. The thing about the lumbar nerve is that it has to be struck precisely, otherwise the target might only be paralyzed from the waist down. However, if I used the first form, that should be a problem as it is a more widespread attack.
Now moving onto the legs, if I were to strike the Rectus femoris, I would be able to sever the usage of the upper half of the user's leg, depending on which on it is. This would cause great discomfort as well as make it hard for him or her to stand on that leg. The second the foot is planted against the surface of the ground, a great amount of pain would surge through the upper thigh muscle, possibly causing the target to lose balance. If unable to strike that, I would utilize the second form in order to strike the tibialis anterior nerve, which is located in the shin area. This would prevent my target from performing very acrobatic defenses, flipping and landing would be next to impossible due to the pain that they would go through putting pressure in the legs. Now going back to the upper half of the leg, depending on the situation, I would use the second form in order to strike the Sartorius which is within the inner thigh. This would remove the possibility of the user performing complicated maneuvers and changing locations, possibly running away or simply stepping out the way of an attack. This is due to the fact that the second they place pressure on that foot and use the muscle in order to move, a surge of main would unfold, possibly strong enough to prevent or hinder movement.
With the leg out of the way, next is the arm. My main focal point would be the brachial plexus nerve which is located in between the shoulder and neck area. This nerve is connected to the most important nerves of the entire arm. This would allow me to remove all functions from my target's arm, reducing the ability to weave hand seals with that arm. Although, this would require me to use a precise attack that is only accessible with the second form. Although with precise timing and delicacy, a palm strike from the first form might also work. If I am unable to strike such a high point, my next target would be the median nerve which is roughly in the upper half of the arm. This in turn would allow me to sever the movement of the arm from that point downwards. It is the nerve that is connected to the previous one I mentioned, so it would do the same as the other one, however unlike the first, the user would still have motor functions in the shoulder area. This would allow him to move his shoulder in order to swing around his "dead" arm in order to use it for defense or something related.
Lastly is the hand, the hand is very simple and not much can be struck. The most important nerve that I would go for is the median nerve in the wrist area, which is the very same one that is connected to the entire arm as previously mentioned. In actuality, the arm and the hand hold a connection to the same exact nerve, it is just a matter of how high or low you sever it that would produce different outcomes to it. With the nerves out of the way, the rest would only be things such as internal organs as you have mentioned before, for example the brain, or heart. These two would be one of the most important ones, causing lethal damage. I would also go for the lungs, reducing the ability to breath correctly. A ninja is always active and so they are always breathing heavily under constant stress. I would use the first or second form in order to strike the lungs, reducing their ability to actively move and perform complicated movements.

Flawless, just perfect. As for your question, the bursts of chakra, being merely raw and non-elemental would make them weaker than elemental chakra. There is however a loophole that when you apply advanced shape manipulation to the chakra or give it a high density such as a rotation it will be equal to elemental ninjutsu.
However, there is one thing I'd like to point out. Although you are correct that the strikes from the second style deal more damage to a smaller area this also means it's less suitable for use against organs as it would only damage a tiny part of it while in turn a strike from the first style would damage it whole. Thus, in the end a well placed strike using the first style will pose a bigger threat to your opponent than one from the second style.
Yuri weaves a single handseal creating a clone of himself, the clone walks to the far side of the dojo and assumes a defensive taijutsu stance with his lower arms raised up before his face and his fists clenched while positioning his right foot forward and his left foot backward to gain a strong footing.
The clone will be your sparring partner for the first style. Before engaging him try some empty palm strikes in the air, get used to the motion and gradually try and release bursts of chakra from your palms and whenever your ready attack my clone. However, do not go straight for the vitals as he will be expecting you to do so, instead strike some lesser areas first to create an opening which would allow you to finish it with a few hits. The clone won't simply stand there and take hits though he will attempt to defend himself through the usage of strong fist taijutsu.
Whenever you're ready!
OOC: You'll have a small spar with my clone, I will attempt to counter your first combination and then you have to finish it with your next. Be sure to be detailed on what areas you strike and the effects caused by the resulting damage but I trust that won't be an issue for you ^^

Understood..
Izaku removed his robe as well as undershirt as they sailed through the air and onto the surface of the floor. With his byakugan already active, he focused on the telescopic attribute of it as he entered his fighting stance. He did so by spreading his feet shoulder width apart, having his left foot slightly forward as he shifted his right one backwards, having his body positioned slightly to the side. His left arm would be evenly paralleled with the ground, having his the fingers in his hand flexed inwards, creating a solid palm. His opposite hand was more loose and relaxed, not entirely paralleled with the ground, however still more or less the same with an opened non-flexed hand. Izaku momentarily looked at the clone and everything around him, not moving his eyes whats so ever and utilizing the full scope of his byakugan's ability to see at a wide distance, although not using his 360 degrees. Izaku took a deep breath to then exhale the air as he pressed his weight on his back foot and thrusted his right hand forward in a thrusting motion. As it was being thrusted, Izaku pushed his already flexed left hand and arm backwards, using that as a means to thrust his opposite hand stronger in the transition. While extending, Izaku flexed the right palm as he struck nothingness. He then did the complete opposite motion by retracting his right hand and thrusting his left one, continuously switching on and off while steadily and progressively getting faster and faster. After working up a considerable sweat, Izaku pushes off the ground with his left foot and launches himself forward at great speeds, nearing the location of the created clone. As he gets close to the clone, he stops a few inches away from him with his left foot. In doing so, he transfers his momentum upwards through his body and into his thrusting right hand, aiming to deliver a frontal palm strike to the face. However this was only but a feint, using it as a mains to block the view of the target as their byakugan was currently not activated. In the meantime, Izaku thrusted his his left palm forward in a very low manner, aiming to strike the abdominal area of the clone as their attention was drawn to the high frontal palm strike. Upon physical contact, Izaku released a burst of chakra from the pores of his palm, delivering a gentle yet powerful palm strike by relying on the release of chakra.
As you approach the clone he closely observes your every move and as you bring forth your right palm and strike it towards his face the clone sways his upper body to his right, lowering his left arm moving it past underneath your extended right arm to push it outward towards your right with the back of his hand. While swaying his body to the side the clone took note of your left palm extending towards his stomach and in a single fluid motion he lowers his right arm, moving it inward planting the inside of his palm against the right side of your extended left arm shoving it outward towards your left. With both your arms sent outward, momentarily leaving you defenseless the clone thrusts both his palms forward towards your chest to push you backward and then re-assumes his stance.
You'll have to do better Izaku-kun, even though it's just a clone he's still a carbon copy of myself-.. that won't do.
You'll have to do better Izaku-kun, even though it's just a clone he's still a carbon copy of myself-.. that won't do.
Izaku was completely overwhelmed by the clone's impressive reactions and fluid movements. Suddenly without realizing, both of his arms had been knocked outwards to either side of him as he was struck with a dual palm strike to the chest, having himself lose balance and be knocked backwards, having his feet grind and skid against the surface of the dojo's floor, making a squeaky noise as the rubber from his saddles rubbed against the wood. Izaku readjusts himself and launches forward once again. He does the same as before and stops on his left foot as he thrusts his right palm, however this time to the chest area. As the palm is reaching physical confrontation, he feints it and instead, moves his palm inwards towards his own chest, using his right elbow as means to either deflect a potential extension from the clone's left arm to defend, or to preposition his palm so that he may strike should the clone sway once again. The end result would be Izaku's forearm paralleled out in front of him, nearly below his chin area, using it as a means to defend. In that same motion, he pushed forward and took a step with his right foot, moving his body forward, although to the left side of the clone as a means to push him backwards. In that same motion, Izaku had already thrusted his left palm in a circular motion, performing a swinging side-palm strike with the bottom of his palm, striking directly at the clone's right upper thigh area while releasing a burst of chakra to the the area. If successful, the nerve should be severed, causing great pain to that leg and loss of balance.
As you bring forth your right palm once again the clone repeats his previous counter, bringing forth his left arm to push your palm away however instead he unexpectedly strikes your elbow and due to facing the unexpected the clone although noticing your left palm being shot towards his thigh he is unable to respond fast enough due to your sudden approach and is struck by a single burst of chakra, however although the burst has caused moderate damage to his thigh the clone in a futile effort brings forth his left fist to send a quick jab towards the left side of your face while his right hand his planted onto his hurting thigh.
Nicely done! Now finish him, wreck that arm and finish him off with five quick palm strikes.
Nicely done! Now finish him, wreck that arm and finish him off with five quick palm strikes.
Izaku quickly notices the clone attempting to deliver a strike to his face by using his free left hand. In reaction towards that, Izaku gets into a lower stance, having the blow pass by him. While getting low, he also pivots on his left foot while twisting his upper half of his body clockwise, allowing his body to perform a full rotation, having his right foot slightly glide, against the surface of the floor. While doing so, he maintains his arms stretched out enough so that he could use them as a defense. As his spin comes around, he extends his right foot and aims to strike the clone's right ankle, taking advantage of the struck nerve, knowing full well he might not be able to respond. This would cause the clone to be tripped and fall backwards. As that happens, Izaku instantly readjusts his body and stands up whilst releasing a barrage of palm strikes equaling to five. The very first strike would be with his left palm and directly in the center of the chest, spreading his chakra wide enough so that he could partially strike both lungs, this would cause heavy breathing as well as difficulty to catch his breath, hoping to stun him for a moment. He immediately followed through with his right palm and struck in the same area although a bit lower, hoping to make it even more difficult for the clone to breath as he is knocked backwards. It was then that Izaku stepped forward in order to get closer to the falling foe and performed two more palm strikes to the outermost side of the clone's rib cages to then finish it off with a dual palm strike to the abdominal area in a (Goku Kamehameha motion) motion, sending the clone flying backwards with a burst of chakra making his skin ripple and causing internal damage in the intestines.
I'm impressed Izaku-kun, you've covered the basis of the first style. However there is more! But it'd be best to show you this outside. Yuri gets off his chair and walks towards the dojo's entrance, walking off the stairs exiting the building. Then by stomping his right foot down Yuri rises up a single boulder of rock and thrusting his right palm forward he releases a wave of chakra which sends the boulder flying. How do you like that? Pretty neat huh? You give it a try. It's basically the same as a regular palm strike but this time you push the exertion of your chakra to it's limits to exert a larger amount from your palm to form a wave which can reach a target several meters away. This however primarily causes external damage although tender areas such as the neck, belly or the eyes would still receive internal damage-.. especially the latter resulting in blindness. But enough talk, get to work! Yuri stomps his foot down onto the ground once more, raising up another boulder several meters before you and then pats you on the back. She's all yours.
Thank you Senpai.
Izaku sees as his teacher effortlessly sends a large boulder flying off into the distance. His eyes widen in reaction to such a feat.
Amazing...
Izaku follows through by walking out of the dojo and onto the outside grounds where the other large boulder laid. Izaku's face was tainted with determination. He suddenly rushed towards the rock at full speed and stopped with his right foot, moments before reaching point blank. As he did so, he twisted his upper body clockwise while also extending his right hand forward in a thrusting motion with his stretched palm. He aimed to strike the surface of the ground as he released a burst of chakra from his pours. Once contact was made, Izaku felt a great deal of main as his defenseless palm hit against the rock with so much force. Speaking of force, the released chakra managed to do nothing, it simply spread into every direction, causing his clothing as well as her to move wildly in the air from the disruption that it caused on the currents.
*Tsk...* That hurt..
With his calm composure and his emotions always in check, Izaku concentrated heavily on his palm once again and tried to apply the concept of striking gently. With that in mind, he thrusted his palm once again and struck the same area. However before making contact, he focused and released a large amount of chakra that had been previously compressed. Unlike before, he stopped himself from striking the rock with full physical force and instead, relied on the air pressure of chakra released from his palm, "pushing" the rock away.
Excellent! This concludes the basis of the first style however-.. you're not quite there yet. This time you are to counter my clone's attack. Signal him to attack you whenever you're ready to proceed with the second style. As I explained before the second style revolves around jabs performed with merely the finger tips of your extended index and middle fingers like a needle while the rest of your hand is clenched best used to strike nerves or simply chakra points. Yuri weaves a single hand seal, creating a single clone assuming his position inside the dojo and Yuri returns to his seat, sitting his body down in a comfortable position before resuming. The clone will attack you with a right handed punch aimed for the right side of your jaw. I want you to use solely the needle strikes to destroy his arm internally from his wrist to his lower and finally to his upper arm. Then I want you to aim for his tenketsu and to do this you must assume the eight trigrams stance while the clone is temporarily stunned due to the damage he would have received to his arm. He'll show you to stance. The clone slides his left foot forward, lowering his body to the ground placing his upper body at a diagonal angle while at the same time he moves extends his left arm forward, slightly downward at an angle of roughly 30 degrees while he extends his right arm backwards pointed upward, perfectly alligned to his left arm while the fingers of both his hands are clenched except for his index and middle fingers which remain extended. This stance replies on the Byakugan's ability to see anything omnidirectionally around you while you would easily be able to turn your body around by continously rotating on your feet delivering quick jabs to one or multiple opponents depending on the situation. Ofcourse, the jabs don't have to be clean and precise as long as they connect! You should have noticed by now that through this training your field of vision has increased, so take on the stance and signal the clone to attack you and after wrecking his arm try shutting down 64 of his tenketsu to begin with.

Izaku follows the clone back inside the dojo as he sees his teacher sit on his seat once again. After being shown the stance, Izaku begins to imitate it as he shifts his right leg forward and lowers his upper body as well. After shifting his front left, he also spreads his back leg (left one) further apart behind him. While leaning forward he stretches his right arm forward at a slightly downwards angle, having his palm facing the sky as he flexed his hand, having only his index and middle fingers out-stretched. In order to find a center of balance, he also stretched his opposite arm, however behind him and upwards, aligning it with his right one and having his palm face the ground. Izaku bent his fingers back and forth, signaling the clone to attack. He quickly followed the clone's movements as he moved forward and extended their right fist. Due to his low posture, it was easy for Izaku to realize that the strike was coming somewhere around his face as that was the main direction of the punch, having the clone lean slightly forward and downward in order to potentially reach Izaku in his low 8-Trigram stance. Izaku stood completely still as the clone neared him. He timed it correctly and stood back up from his stance while still maintaining his arms in roughly the same angles and fashion. As he stood up and straightened up his body, he was able to dodge the punch as he began to drag his left foot across the ground and slightly move his body clockwise. While doing so, he swung his left hand forward in a circular motion and struck the clone in the carpal ligament whilst also pushing the clone's hand towards towards it's left side. In a single fluid motion, Izaku re-tracted his right arm inwards towards him to then thrust it outwards, aiming to pierce the median nerve roughly in the forearm area. He quickly exchanged and did the same thing with his left hand, although five inches higher, in the upper arm area. He then finished his arm striking combination by striking the brachial plexus near the shoulder area with his left hand, completely removing all motor functions from his right arm. All would be done in a very quick and fluid motion, stinging gently with each strike like a sewing machine up and down. As he moved up the arm and into the shoulder area, he then utilized his right arm to strike the pressure point of the neck which was located on the right hand side beneath his chin. This would cause momentary stun as Izaku then moves downwards, striking the gallbladder and the liver simultaneously with either hand using his left and right hands respectively. Izaku finalizes his assault by striking all pressure points starting from the thigh and up, finishing in the neck area once again. However, as a finisher, Izaku would strike the clone with his right fingers directly through his right pupil, injecting sharp chakra that would reach the brain directly.
Perfect, this concludes the basis of the second style aswell. Let's take a short break to allow you to rest up before we proceed and tell me-.. you have experienced both the first and second styles but which one do you personally prefer, and why? And what will you primarily focus on while executing either style? Just to give me an idea of your general understanding of Gentle Fist so far.
After you're rested up I'll have you fight two clones simultanously and you'll have to use a mixture of both the first and second styles when engaging them. However the clones attack you, or maybe you attack them first either way it's upto you just tell them what to do-.. perhaps have them engage you with an actual technique? I expect a great performance. Yuri then weaves a single hand seal, creating two clones his sit down on the ground, one on either side of the dojo awaiting Izaku's instructions.

Izaku suddenly stops and assumes a normal standing pose. He gently brushes his left hand across his hair to get all the sweat out of it. While doing so he takes a deep breath and slowly exhales steadily. It was then that Izaku was asked a question by his teacher who was still sitting a distance. He turned over towards him and began to explain.
Personally, I prefer the first style of the gentle fist. The reason why is because a battle is very random and there are opponents with varying in skill level. This means that I might not always have the luxury of striking with such precision. Sure I will have the upperhand with my Byakugan, however sometimes that might not be enough to accurately strike where I want to. I feel as though with a strong enough spread out palm strike of chakra, I am both making it easier for me to strike as well as able to deliver more blunt force damage as well as internal damage. This means if I focus on the first form, I would be more inclined in striking organs as opposed to pressure points which are in very odd places in the blade. This of course varies and depends on the pressure point. Because I would be able to strike in the inner thigh and such places. I've already noted down some general ideas as to what I would focus on the first form, so I will move onto the next one. Although I really like the nature of precise striking, it does make it more difficult to successfully accomplish it in the heat of battle as I previously mentioned. While using this form, I would concentrate on striking small areas, nothing big like the organs, specially not the heart or the lungs which are far too big for my two fingers to damage enough. The second form is better to close off tenkesu in hard places, or pressure points like the ones in the neck, or maybe the nerves like the one in arms. Having only your fingers extended allows you to both come in hot to strike as well as retreat faster, it seems more aerodynamic with the thrusting motions.
(That's no fair Senpai! It's very hard to come up with your clone's movements without thinking of something I can counter with ease :*()
Izaku assumes his previous 8-trigrams stance as he signals the clones to come at him. Suddenly, the clone stand up and rush towards him. Both are aiming to deliver a punch towards him, the left clone aiming low towards the abdominal area with his left fist while the other clone with it's right fist, aiming high to Izaku's face. Seeing the clone's rushing towards him, Izaku decides to do the same and suddenly leaps forward and enters a full on sprint, having his hands dangling behind his inclined body. As he nears the clone's short range, Izaku is able to notice both begin to extend their limbs for a strike. His attention is drawn as he sees the right clone aiming high and so, uses that to imitate his counter-attack. While still running, he pushes off the floor with his right foot and launches himself diagonally to the side of the right clone, opening himself up while laying low enough to avoid the punch. While zagging to the side, Izaku lands directly on the right clone's right side and pivots on his left foot inwards, allowing his body to turn clockwise in the process. While doing so, he extends his right hand outwards, aiming to "catch" the clone's thrusting wrist. In reality, Izaku was forcefully striking the wrist whilst releasing a burst of chakra at the carpel ligament, attempting to remove motor functions in the wrist. Due to the force of the strike, the clone's hand would go swinging inwards towards him. At the same exact time, Izaku was also flexing his left hand, delivering a tab with his index and middle finger in the clone's neck pressure point. After those two precise strikes, Izaku pushed off the ground at an angle again and went around the clones delivering a dual palm strike to the back of the other clone's spine, near the lowest part. aiming for half body paralysis.
Time for techniques u-u here is what you are capable of performing using either the first or second style.. or both!
These are the techniques you have learnt by practicing the first and second styles, any questions? ^^
P.S. Must be quite obvious why I chose to teach you this way :vincent:
