Jyuuken with Typhon

[-Cobalt-]

Couple of problems.

1: If you're attacking the abdomen, you're not hitting the stomach. The stomach is a little bit up more and to the left, kind of sitting just at the base of the rib cage. The area you struck would be the intestines.

2: Right chest area isn't going to his the diaphragm, you would just be hitting the lung. The diaphragm arc across your body just below your pecs. Its more of the mid-torso than chest area.


Do it again. And this time add 2 more strikes to the back of the clone.

After this failed attempt Giovanni begins to feel discouraged and angry at himself for making stupid mistakes. Instead of feeling bad about it he takes a deep breath and assumes the standard Jyuuken stance being somewhat turned to the right with his left leg forward having most of his weight on it and his left hand leading with the right one slightly behind and above. Both hands are set up in a relaxed and lean manner. Giovanni then begins his new assault on the clone. He extended his right arm which was at a higher position than his left. Extending his arm he delivered a gentle push with his palm to the clones stomach damaging the soft tissue, and the burst of chakra knocking his breath out. This causing the clone to double over due to the pain. Using this, Giovanni pulls his left hand back and slamming it down from above onto the clones nape releasing a burst of chakra upon contact. The chakra would cause choking as well as muscle restraction making it troublesome to breathe properly. Sending his right arm lower, beneath the clone, Giovanni upper cuts him with a push and a burst of chakra, making him stand up straight again. With the strike aimed below the chin, the chakra would affect his tounge numbing his entire mouth and damaging the lower jaw, possibly dislocating it. For the fourth strike Giovanni thrusts his left arm forwards aiming for he clones heart releasing a burst of chakra causing increased heart rate and maybe even heart damage. Immediately after that Giovanni thrusts his right arm to the clones left shoulder numbing that part while at the same time turning the clone counterclockwise so his back is facing Giovanni. For the final strike Giovanni thrusts both his arms forwards releasing a burst of chakra into the clones back damaging the nerves in his spine with his chakra and causing the clone to fall to the ground.

 

[Typhon]

Good.

Just be careful not to get to exact with what you're affecting. Targeting nerves is something we'll cover with the "needle" form. The ghost palm isn't exact enough to directly target nerves. Its better suited for major organs and muscle groups.

*makes a hand seal spawning 2 more clones*

The two clones immediately dart towards you, one falling slightly behind the other. The first clone lunges at your with a right fist aimed at your face and follows it with a jumping left knee which he drives into your stomach. The second clone leaps over the first one as you're keeling over for the knee to the stomach and punches down on the back of your head sending you into the ground.


Defend and defeat the clones with your ghost palm!

Seeing as the two clones rush one after the other Giovanni desides to take them out systematically. Defend from one clones assault, disarm and kill it and then the other one. Taking on both of them at the same time would be a pain so Giovanni carefully times his assault. With his Byakugan tracking the enemy and with the clones right fist raised as the clone launches his punch, Giovanni turns to his right clockwise while at the same time raising his left hand. With the right arm of the clone stretched for a punch, the right side of the clone below the arm would be exposed and Giovanni, not wasting this opportunity sends his left palm into the clones side, just beneath the arm pit, hitting the rib cage and releasing a burst of chakra from his palm as he strikes the clone. The burst would cause a cramp in the muscles of the right side upper body along with difficulty breathing. With the clone being hurt, Giovanni strikes him with a right handed palm strike, slamming his palm into the clones face with a burst of chakra that sends the clone away. With the other clone following, seeing as he leaps up to jump over the first clone Giovanni too leaps up, aiming to encounter the clone in mid air. As he jumps and clashes with the clone, he sends his palms flying three times, alternating between them (left, right, left) releasing bursts of chakra with each strike aiming for the stomach, heart and the area below the chin dealing damage in the general vicinity of the areas hit dispersing the clone in mid air. Giovanni lands using his hands to keep balance.

 

[Typhon]

Good.

Now, with your Byakugan you're capable of locating the Eight Inner Gates. Using your ghost palm you can strike these spots and disrupt them. This can be very useful if fighting against an EIG user. By striking a gate, you can close it, and thus prevent them from opening gates past that one.

*makes a clone who then opens the first three inner gates*

Do it to my clone.

My clone rushes at you at high speeds and as he nears you he leaps and kicks out at your chest with his right leg.

Seeing as the clone is created and chakra rushes through three of his first gates opening them, Giovanni does not waste time. Allowing the clone to open more gates could be fatal even though this was training. Seeing as the clone rushes towards Giovanni at high speed, the moment he leaps up for the kick Giovanni, being able to track the speed of movement thrusts his right palm into the upper area of the upper body, the burst of chakra striking the spinal cord, and the 4th gate, the Gate of Pain. This will prevent the clone from opening any more gates.

Can I use this technique to close gates that are opened already?

 

[Typhon]

Yes, though you can't use it as an alternative to learning the gates by opening your own.

Also, while what you did is helpful, instead of preventing them from opening more gates its better if you close the first gate. By closing the first gate you cut off chakra flow to the following gates, preventing the use of any of them.

The idea popped up, to open my gates with the technique. I wasn't sure if I can close already opened gates, that's why I wrote my move like that.

Similar to a large wind technique, this attack was strong enough to push back one of the arms of the Jubi and works by using the chakra to push the air outwards in a blunt wall-like blast.
Note: Can be used with a clone to make the second user.

I think some other can be added, though I'm not sure.

 

[Typhon]

That list looks pretty good. Do you have any questions about those techniques?

 

[-Cobalt-]

No questions, everything is clear so far. We can continue ^^

 

[Typhon]

Sorry for the delay.

Next we'll move on to the the "needle fingers" as we'll call them. For this style you will strike the enemy with your fingertips at very specific points while inserting a small burst of chakra. Unlike the ghost palm where you struck organs and muscle groups, for this style you'll be targeting nerves and blood vessels with extreme precision. Its not sharp enough to cut these things, but it can damage them enough to impede their function. It is also the style you'll use when shutting down your opponent's tenketsu points, as staple of our gentle fist style.

*hands you some papers*

Now those are some diagrams of the human body showing key nerves, blood vessels and pressure points. Study them thoroughly and let me know when you're done.

 

[-Cobalt-]

It's okay ^^.

Can you actually tell me some key nerves and vessels I can assault?

 

[Typhon]

Which joint/area would you like to cover first?

 

[-Cobalt-]

Well, let's start with the upper body/chestal area and move onto limbs, head, etc.

And thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

 

[Typhon]

For the upper body there aren't really any specific nerves or blood vessels for us to strike that would cause a noticeable effect on the body. When targeting the torso I prefer to use the ghost palm, while when targeting extremities and joints I prefer the needle.

So lets start at the shoulder joint. Take a look at the diagram I handed you.

Those are very important nerves and blood vessels in that joint. What do you think targeting those structures will do to the opponent?

 

[-Cobalt-]

I'll go from top to bottom. Starting with the scalene muscles, by targeting them with the needle style of the Jyuuken one can damage the muscle tissue and cause neck stiffnes and hindering their neck movement so they can't turn their head which can give me the upper hand in a battle.

Subclavian artery, again a needle style place. Can be used to damage the artery of the opponent, decreasing/increasing the blood flow and damaginf the tissue.

Median nerve, again needle style. Can be attacked to sever the bond between shoulder and arm paralyzing the arm.

Clavicle, ghost palm can be used to create a fracture and slowing down arm movement and dealing damage to nearby arteries/nerves.

Ulnar nerve, needle style; can be attacked to paralyze smaller muscle groups connected to it like in the hand creating trouble when making hand seals or doing other actions similar to that.

Human anatomy is not really my best but I think this should do. I go by logic.

 

[Typhon]

Very good.

I was asking more about how striking each thing would make the opponent feel, but what you did works too.

Moving down the arm lets go to the elbow.

Do the same thing for that.

Well he'll feel numbness in the muscles with each strike I presume.

Biceps muscle: Either needle style or ghost palm, both will work. Needle style would be used for a more specific attack, ghost palm to strike a larger area. Striking it would cause the muscle to stiffen up making arm movements difficult and painful, restricting it's usage.

Biceps tendon: Needle style is more suitable, striking it would restrict the arm even more making the bending of the arm difficult.

Humerus: Ghost palm area, a numbing pain in the arm would be caused.

Ulnar collateral ligament: Would paralyze the joint making it impossible for the opponent to rise it up and use it properly.

Same goes for the Ligaments and other things stated there.

 

[Typhon]

Okay good. But don't worry about the bones. The chakra bursts from Gentle Fist aren't strong enough to deal significant damage to bones. Standard strong fist taijutsu would be better fit for breaking bones.

Moving down to the wrist/hand:

Blood vessels and nerve cords of the fingers: Damage can be dealt on those areas making the opponent unable to move his fingers and cause inner bleeding.

Thumb tendon sheath: Needle style, can be attacked to paralyze the thumb.

Double loop of arteries: Can be used to paralyze whole fist and cause inner bleeding if enough damage is applied.

Nerves (median and ulnar): Can be stroked at any point to deal damage to everything the nerves go to (mainly fingers, fists etc.)

 

[Typhon]

Good. That's the three main sections you can target along the arm. Now lets move on to the lower body, starting at the hip.
