Ansatsuken

Ansatsuken (Assassination Arts, Killing Fist, etc) is a name for various martial arts made intently to destroy the target/opponent. It is also the name of a style simply known as 'Ansatsuken,' possibly being the original Killing Style in history. Another name for a Killing style could be 'Satsujinken (Murder Fist).'



Various Styles of Ansatsuken have been made, but often practiced in secret due to their horrific killing power.

The most powerful styles of Ansatsuken tend to literally annihilate the opponent through a gruesome means of death. However, An Ansatsuken fighter is capable of holding back their killing intent, or 'Satsuki.' It depends on the practitioner.

Ansatsuken inspired A Martial Artist named Kong Lee into creating 'Tiger Style.'

History
Very little is known about the first, and original style of Ansatsuken. It is often suggested that if a style carries killing techniques, Ansatsuken is the cause. Some tend to consider it the first martial art in existance, attributing it with dozens of powerful abilities that make it seem godlike. Humans have always been its practitioner, being granted incredible amounts of power from intense, harsh training that could kill a person without the dedication to train through such hellish regiments.

It is thought to work as Yin And Yang in terms of its Ki. On one hand the original Ki Energy. On the other, Matouki (Demonic Aura). Matouki is a kind of Ki that is difficult to master, so much in fact those that fail to understand and control it may be driven to madness. It was often used to diffrientiate good and evil practitioners of a Killing Style.

In the end however, Both Ki and Matouki are given the power to take lives thanks to 'Satsuki' (Killing Intent). It is a spiritual force in a person that gives their style and techniques the power to become a true Murder Fist User. Like Matouki, it can drive one insane. Usually those who master it into perfection are considered Immediate threats while those who can at least control it are not entirely evil.

Not all techniques are made to use Ki. Many are based on various methods, ripping the opponent apart, crushing limbs and bones, or strikes that tear through into the body. Other less common methods include but are not limited to supernatural uses of pressure points to cause abnormal effects in the body, such as exploding, being paralyzed, or worse. This however is differing with each art.

In the Modern World, Master Kong Lee of the Tiger Style was inspired by old scrolls Master Mutaito happened to own on Killing techinques for his Kung Fu. It is suggested Mutaito himself may have known Ansatsuken, or a similar style, but this is highly doubted, as Mutaito told Kong himself he could never use such a dangerous style, even if he had to take a life, and that he would use normal martial arts.





The Twin Paths of The Asura
Ansatsuken has Three Branches every practitioner must know perfectly in order to master the art. They are known as the 'Twin Paths of The Asura.' It is thought a perfect mastery of all both ways would grand the power of a deity to those who trained successfully.

Might Of the Fist: Mastery of Physical Power. A Practitioner's Strength, Speed, And Agility, the most basic of physical skills, must be honed until Superhuman in nature, but the objective is always to try and keep them all at the same level, at the same time increasing them all at once whenever training. The user is taught forms and the martial art of Ansatsuken itself, how to punch, how to kick, where to strike, using forms not unlike Kung Fu, Karate, Muay Thai, and various other modern arts.

Open Mind of the Spirit: An alternate version is known as 'Heart of The Sky' for those that are pure of heart. This is the Mastery of Ki. The user must be able to concentrate blasts into the opponent with enough accuracy to not only pour every bit of energy into the blast (unlike an attack like the Kamehameha or Galick Gun that prefers to engulf the opponent, some of its energy wasted and hitting the environment instead of the opponent), but to be able to strike even something as small as a pressure point with a giant beam, or a fireball. The blasts usually don't home in on targets or curve in their original form, but that can be changed by a strong practitioner.

Lesser Paths
These are a few of the options available with the above main two ways.

Mystic Path: This is the study of Magic. It's first forms were through studied incantations left behind presumably by old beings. Little is known of this path, but its important is little. All practitioners are able to learn some of the Mystic path in order to understand the History of Anstasuken.

Penetration of the Shield: This is a more in depth viiew o the manipulation of the enemies body, generally through special pressure point manipulation.



Techniques
There are only a rare number of techniques known to today's martial arts world:

Satsuzan (Kill Slasher): This Technique set the basis for high speed punches, kicks, etc. It violently attacks Vital points on the enemy to cause total destruction of the body.
