Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into the updated main signature martial arts I have in store for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Some of them still have theirs intact, while others have changed up a bit because I figured that the martial arts that I have for some of them were more appropriate than the ones I initially planned. When it comes to the martial arts, it is common knowledge that cross-training in various martial arts other than either the first one or the signature one is beneficial to expand a combatant’s repertoire in either a fight or evading a compromising situation. Additionally, most martial arts instructors would highly recommend their students to train in a variety of other martial arts, not just the one they have. Nevertheless, the main martial art which the practitioner has not only defines them and the attacks they have learned and implemented regardless of the situation but also who they are as people. There is no shadow of a doubt that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are practitioners of seven signature martial arts. While they have been great at what they have done thanks to hard training and loads of discipline, there will always be that one signature martial art that has defined them throughout the years as combatants and as individuals. These main martial arts are not only measured by sheer lethalness but also by how closely they represent their personalities and characters. With that said, let us get ready to rumble with their updated main signature martial arts. Osu. Hajime. Sesshoumaru: Shotokan Karate Quick counterattacks, precise blows, eviscerating takedowns, and impactful attacks are the physical components necessary for Sesshoumaru to master Shotokan Karate, which he does by combining technical precision with relentless power, especially in knowing his opponents’ strong and weak points. Furthermore, he follows dojo conduct and observes the protocol of Kihon, Kata, and Kumite with discipline and commitment as a martial artist and as a person. Signature attacks that his opponents need to look out for are his spear-hand strikes, knife-hand strikes, ridge-hand strikes, ox-jaw strikes, low kicks, foot sweeps, and leg wheels. Shuran: Professional Wrestling Overpowering bravado, a large-and-in-charge presence, strangulating submission holds, and vicious throws are what Shuran embodies in the Professional Wrestling world thanks to him implementing brute force and abundant strength in order to make his opponents submit and fall to their knees. His strong will to combat bigger and stronger opponents fills him up with excitement and thrills him to never give in to resting on his laurels, which he instils in his students. Signature attacks his opponents need to look out for are his bearhugs, piledrivers, sharpshooters, torture racks, full Nelsons, German suplexes, and suplex powerslams. Inuyasha: Pankration Muscular strength, bloody ferociousness, lethal strikes, and brutal grappling are the fundamentals that Inuyasha has in store to triumph in Pankration, considering how he uses his magnificent muscles and muscular manliness to thoroughly conquer his opponents. Friends, family, and opponents alike would admire him for keeping his muscular body toned like a Renaissance sculpture and his spirit burning like a flame-filled vessel. Signature attacks his opponents need to look out for are his double axe handles, ground-and-pounds, Superman punches, hammer fists, tracheal grip chokes, rear-naked chokes, and armbars. Hakkaku: Muay Boran Iron limbs, steely stamina, rock-hard stealth, and energetic movements are what Hakkaku bears to open gates in the Muay Boran arenas, for he is unafraid to incorporate his voracious clinches and venomous strikes as his main weapons of choice against his opponents. All bets are off when opponents attempt to steal his thunder because he would strike back with a fantastic vengeance supported by his head, fists, legs, and knees. Signature attacks his opponents need to look out for are his elbow slashes, horizontal elbow strikes, spinning elbow strikes, upward headbutts, overhand punches, flying knee strikes, and knee bombs. Ginta: Lethwei Relentless excitement, metal elbows, granite knees, and steel shins are what Ginta needs to bolster his skills in the Lethwei environment, thus applying his shattering blows and piercing attacks to make his opponents scarce. Every occasion he uses his limbs, head, knees, elbows, and shins as weapons, his opponents should already realise that he is not one combatant they should go easy on because he can unleash a flurry of deadly strikes. Signature attacks his opponents need to look out for are his thrusting headbutts, side headbutts, spinning backfists, cross punches, flying elbow strikes, jumping knee strikes, and push kicks. Ayame: Bokator Boundless ferocity, titanium fists, lightning feet, and endless ambition form the cornerstone of Ayame involving herself in Bokator with all of her being and making her glorious punches and exceptional kicks all the more laudable in fending herself off against her opponents. Ayame’s opponents better prepare themselves for her attacks because the wounds they will acquire from her may take weeks or months to heal and may potentially land them in the hospital for good. Signature attacks her opponents need to look out for are her uppercuts, jabs, hooks, liver punches, reverse punches, spinning axe kicks, and roundhouse kicks. Shunran: Shaolin Kung Fu Accurate grace, fearless willpower, great cunning, and crafty cleverness form the foundation of Shunran immersing herself in Shaolin Kung Fu with all of her heart and making her bruising kicks and impactful strikes all the more exceptional in shielding herself from the attacks of her opponents. Shunran’s opponents should make it second nature to arm themselves against her attacks because they can leave them incapacitated, and she knows their weak spots. Signature attacks her opponents need to look out for are her leopard blows, finger strikes, palm strikes, nerve strikes, tornado kicks, double flying kicks, and split kicks. …
Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be covering the main martial arts spars I have for each pairing. As always, there are three platonic duos, two platonic trios, one beloved OTP, and one fabulous OT3. It is common knowledge that cross-training in various martial arts may be beneficial to the practitioners, but the martial arts they either first trained in or specialise in the most would be the Alpha and Omega of what would define their moves and their skills. This is especially true when two or three main martial arts collide together but end up uniting in order to defeat common opponents. With that said, let us get ready to rumble with my seven favourite Splendid Seven pairings in martial arts sparring forms. Osu. Hajime. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (BroTP): Shotokan Karate vs Pankration Focused precision, lethal stealth, fierce bloodiness, and muscular strength are thoroughly combined to breathe life into these two dog Yokai brothers. Sesshoumaru’s acerbic spear-hand strikes, ox-jaw strikes, and knife-hand strikes complement Inuyasha’s barbaric double axe handles, ground-and-pounds, and Superman punches to the point where they would make their enemies tremble at their magnificent strength. All powerfully vicious attacks against their foes aside, both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would cherish each other as brothers with all of their hearts and souls, thus genuinely upholding honour and fortitude. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): Professional Wrestling vs Muay Boran vs Lethwei Visceral force, eternal stamina, kinetic velocity, and powerful cooperation are rigorously incorporated to energise these three Yokai brothers consisting of one hulking panther Yokai and two athletic wolf Yokai. Shuran’s crushing piledrivers, sharpshooters, and bearhugs complement Hakkaku’s devastating headbutts, elbow strikes, and overhand punches as well as Ginta’s eviscerating spinning backfists, knee strikes, and shin kicks to the point where they would make their enemies’ bones break. Overlooking their penchant for doing damage to their foes, Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta have a brotherhood rich in support and respect. Ayame and Shunran (BroT3): Bokator vs Shaolin Kung Fu Ferocious fortitude, abundant ambition, bodacious beauty, and crafty cleverness are meticulously amalgamated to drive these two Yokai sisters comprising of one fearless wolf Yokai and one winsome panther Yokai. Ayame’s fierce uppercuts, jabs, and hooks complement Shunran’s glorious nerve strikes, palm strikes, and finger strikes to the point where they would make their enemies thoroughly incapacitated from head to toe. Besides delivering collateral damage upon collateral damage to their foes together, Ayame and Shunran truly cherish their sisterhood, which is abundant in allegiance and appreciation. Sesshoumaru and Shuran (BroTP): Kyokushin Karate vs Combat Sambo If the sound of breaking bones and jammed joints reverberates throughout the halls, that could only mean Sesshoumaru and Shuran demonstrating their great cooperation in terms of taking their foes down and making them have a taste of their own bitter medicine. Every time Sesshoumaru’s low kicks, ridge-hand strikes, and roundhouse kicks merge with Shuran’s German suplexes, torture racks, and full Nelsons, their attacks become even more brutal and eviscerating than the last one. Even as the most formidable fighters, both Sesshoumaru and Shuran can still have sufficient time to build each other up well in trust and understanding. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): Vale Tudo vs Muay Chaiya vs Sanda Spectators would have an astoundingly amazing time watching Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta smash, crush, and destroy their foes with every resounding blow they can muster. Whenever Inuyasha’s omoplatas, gogoplatas, and armbars join forces with Hakkaku’s upward headbutts, cross punches, and elbow slashes and Ginta’s front snap kicks, front kicks, and hook kicks, these three would never hesitate to do utter and total damage to their opponents with huge, scary grins on their faces. As much as they revel in full-contact combat, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta can encourage and empower each other in inspiration and integrity. Inuyasha and Ayame (OTP): Mixed Martial Arts vs Hapkido Beating enemies up to a bloody pulp then making steamily sexy love to each other may seem like just another daily routine for Inuyasha and Ayame, but it is part of their life as an unconditionally loving couple. Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles can power up his Superman punches, double axe handles, and gogoplatas, while Ayame’s laudable limbs can jettison her liver punches, axe kicks, and wristlocks, as they demonstrate just how awesomely muscles and motion can work. Inuyasha and Ayame are not only strong warriors, but their romantic relationship with each other is rich with unadulterated intimacy and unconditional love. Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran (OT3): Muay Thai vs Jeet Kune Do vs Baguazhang There is a multitude of lovely dynamics when Hakkaku and Ginta team up with Shunran to overcome their enemies then find time after their battle to make sweet love to her, for their way of life is a daily ritual they never get tired of. Hakkaku’s sumptuous sinews propel his headbutts, cross punches, and knee strikes just as Ginta’s astounding arms empower his hooks, jabs, and cross punches and Shunran’s furious feet mobilise her split kicks, tornado kicks, and double flying kicks to destroy their enemies. Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran bear a lovable three-way relationship steeped with gregarious purity and gorgeous harmony. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I would love to know which pairing in main martial arts sparring form do you love the most. Take care, see you in the next submission, and remember to defend yourself and your loved ones, everybody.
Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be covering my seven most favourite Splendid Seven pairings in the forms of martial arts spars. As always, there are three platonic duos, two platonic trios, one romantic OTP pairing, and one romantic OT3 threesome. For those of you who have been reading my previous Splendid Seven entries, you probably already know who they are. Whether platonic or romantic let alone in twos or in threes, the martial arts are always going to be about cooperation, respect, allegiance, discipline, humility, honour, integrity, and truth. It is not always about whose fists and feet get to fly the most or who gets to choke out their opponent in the most suffocating manner possible. Rather, it is about how two or three people can use their combat prowess well and work together as effectively as possible. With that said, let us sharpen our minds, clench our fists, jettison our limbs, and get into combat stances together, for these seven Yokai warriors are always prepared to work together in the pairings that make them the truly united family of martial artists that they are. Osu. Hajime. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (BroTP): The Most Powerful Martial Artist Brothers Stealthy lethalness and muscular strength are melded together by discipline, honour, integrity, and courage, as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha the two dog Yokai brothers prepare themselves to show their opponents that two is better than one. Combining Sesshoumaru’s spear-hand strikes, ox-jaw strikes, and kneebars with Inuyasha’s double axe handles, ground-and-pounds, and armbars makes them a winning fraternal duo, for they can dish out one huge serving of ownage. Powerful attacks aside, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha build each other up as inseparable brothers, thus encouraging each other in terms of strength and dedication. Kyokushin Karate vs Pankration Shotokan Karate vs Vale Tudo Nippon Kenpo vs Mixed Martial Arts Shorinji Kenpo vs Shootfighting Kajukenbo vs Kapu Kuialua Jujutsu vs Brazilian Jiujitsu Judo vs Luta Livre Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): The Most Fearsome Vanquisher Brothers Brute force, indestructible stamina, and quick reflexes are joined together by respect, self-respect, allegiance, and good attitude, for these three brothers consisting of Shuran the hulking panther Yokai as well as Hakkaku and Ginta the athletic wolf Yokai ready themselves to show their opponents that a bond of three makes for more dynamic attacks. Joining Shuran’s piledrivers and bearhugs with Hakkaku’s headbutts and elbow strikes and Ginta’s spinning backfists and knee strikes promises a world of pain to their attackers. Furthermore, Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s sturdy brotherhood keeps them united against animosity. Professional Wrestling vs Muay Boran vs Lethwei Combat Sambo vs Muay Chaiya vs Pencak Silat Malla-yuddha vs Muay Lerdrit vs Sanda Pehlwani vs Muay Thai vs Jeet Kune Do Sumo Wrestling vs Pradal Serey vs Bando Turkish Oil Wrestling vs Panantukan vs Naban Greco-Roman Wrestling vs Yaw-Yan vs Pongyi Thaing Ayame and Shunran (BroTP): The Most Dynamic Attacker Sisters Relentless power and fearless agility are united together by justice, valour, compassion, and dignity, as these two sisters consisting of Ayame the wolf Yokai and Shunran the panther Yokai arm themselves to show their opponents that they have the right to do battle with every fighter they meet, and they will never go easy on them. Melding Ayame’s uppercuts, liver punches, and reverse punches with Shunran’s leopard blows, palm strikes, and nerve strikes together as one aims to destroy their enemies both inside and outside. Outside battle, Ayame and Shunran possess a close, warm, and unconditionally loving sisterhood for life. Bokator vs Shaolin Kung Fu Koppojutsu vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Hapkido vs Baguazhang Yongmudo vs Wing Chun Taekkyeon vs Eagle Claw Kung Fu Taekwondo vs Savate Boxing vs Kickboxing Sesshoumaru and Shuran (BroTP): The Toughest Demolisher Duo Both Sesshoumaru and Shuran embody copious amounts of physical, psychological, and mental power, strength, formidability, and fortitude rushing through their bodies, minds, and souls. The result of Sesshoumaru and Shuran joining forces is the permanent evisceration they can deliver to their opponents with no chance of the pain ever mitigating from them. When Sesshoumaru’s ridge-hand strikes, ox-jaw strikes, and roundhouse kicks are united with Shuran’s sharpshooters, German suplexes, and torture racks unite, they will unleash terror and excruciation to their enemies while demonstrating allegiance towards each other. Kyokushin Karate vs Professional Wrestling Shotokan Karate vs Combat Sambo Nippon Kenpo vs Malla-yuddha Shorinji Kenpo vs Pehlwani Kajukenbo vs Sumo Wrestling Jujutsu vs Turkish Oil Wrestling Judo vs Greco-Roman Wrestling Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): The Strongest Bludgeoner Trio There is no doubt that Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta represent true strength, formidability, and fortitude coming in numbers, thus using this principle to their advantage when combating against stronger and fiercer opponents. Once Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta band together, they will let their penchant for close-range combat and powerful blows show with pure abandon. This comes to effect when Inuyasha’s omoplatas and gogoplatas, Hakkaku’s overhand punches and hooks, and Ginta’s thrust kicks and shin kicks merge together to cause enough bloody damage as possible all while maintaining a genuine and loving brotherhood. Pankration vs Muay Boran vs Lethwei Vale Tudo vs Muay Chaiya vs Pencak Silat Mixed Martial Arts vs Muay Lerdrit vs Sanda Shootfighting vs Muay Thai vs Jeet Kune Do Kapu Kuialua vs Pradal Serey vs Bando Brazilian Jiujitsu vs Panantukan vs Naban Luta Livre vs Yaw-Yan vs Pongyi Thaing Inuyasha and Ayame (OTP): The Mightiest Champion Couple The power couple that makes genuinely passionate love to each other sticks together even under the glaring heat of battle, especially if that couple happens to be Inuyasha and Ayame. They personify ferocity, fierceness, toughness, and super strength to the nines when combining Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles with Ayame’s laudable limbs, thus making their opponents quake at the sight of this mighty couple. Inuyasha’s Superman…

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be touching up and delving into the seven all-time greatest signature martial arts that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialise in. If you remembered the entries where I dealt with the countries that correspond to these seven Yokai combatants’ martial arts as well as their signature martial arts, look at this as a retouched and slightly revamped version. Ever since I made the previous entries involving Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ayame’s, and Shunran’s martial arts from around the world, I did some thinking and rethinking in terms of the worldly martial arts that truly define them. Some of them still stick true, while others deserve to be changed up a bit. Nevertheless, it is still going to be a fun and enjoyable ride, especially when these martial arts that I chose for them and ingrained into them would define them to the full, from their moves to their personalities to their choices of attacks. As always, I have to thank the inspiration I have been receiving from watching let’s plays of fighting games from Street Fighter to Tekken and most of the martial arts documentaries which I have loved so intensely. The seven signature martial arts I have chosen for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran shall be ranked in intensity, and knowing these seven Yokai martial artists, they would pull their signature martial arts off to a high degree to the point of collaterally damaging their enemies. With that said, let us get ready to rumble with The Splendid Seven’s seven signature main martial arts. Osu. Hajime. Sesshoumaru: The Honourably Traditional Martial Artist Preserving the code of the martial arts with all the valour, discipline, decorum, and integrity of a true warrior is Sesshoumaru who makes it his duty to represent himself well not only as a martial artist but also as a person. The dojo is his sanctuary, and he would never allow invaders to besmirch let alone vandalise it. Sesshoumaru observes proper dojo etiquette when bowing to his opponents and comrades as well as keeping his family safe from harm. His spear-hand strikes, knife-hand strikes, ox-jaw strikes, ridge-hand strikes, roundhouse kicks, kneebars, and small joint manipulations can cause physical and psychological damage. Kyokushin Karate Shotokan Karate Nippon Kenpo Shorinji Kenpo Kajukenbo Jujutsu Judo Shuran: The Mightily Powerful Martial Artist Being large and in charge inside and outside the arena while living with courage, stamina, fortitude, and might is Shuran whose reputation as one of Japan’s and the world’s mightiest and most intimidating wrestlers of all time far precedes him. There is no arena too grand, no gym too well-functioned, and no opponent too powerful to contain this brutish beast who has a softer side for staying loyal to his friends and family and using his strength to protect those he loves against invaders. His piledrivers, sharpshooters, torture racks, bearhugs, rear-naked chokes, German suplexes, and sleeper holds can cause permanent bone destruction. Professional Wrestling Combat Sambo Malla-yuddha Pehlwani Sumo Wrestling Turkish Oil Wrestling Greco-Roman Wrestling Inuyasha: The Lethally Bloody Martial Artist Serving up huge portions of big muscular power and bigger manly virility to his opponents is Inuyasha who thrives with fortitude, formidability, grit, and triumph as a super strong and magnificently muscular warrior. His muscles of steel combined with a mighty roar powerful enough to intimidate any lion or tiger makes him one of the most fearsome competitors anybody has the chance to do battle with, thus demonstrating his brutally sheer physical super strength. His double axe handles, hammer fists, Superman punches, ground-and-pounds, armbars, omoplatas, and gogoplatas can cause severe internal and external bleeding. Pankration Vale Tudo Mixed Martial Arts Shootfighting Kapu Kuialua Brazilian Jiujitsu Luta Livre Hakkaku: The Ferociously Destructive Martial Artist Rampaging through opponents using stamina and endurance as his weapons is Hakkaku whose great attitude for combat is endowed with high energy, gutsiness, drive, and courage, thus making a mark for himself as an instinctively shrewd fighter. Armed with his rock-hard limbs that can destroy even the sturdiest of trees, Hakkaku will never rest until he reaches his ultimate potential as a warrior and as a person. When he does combat with his opponents, he would give them the fight of their lives. His headbutts, elbow strikes, overhand punches, knee strikes, hooks, front kicks, and elbow slashes can cause painful bodily distortion. Muay Boran Muay Chaiya Muay Lerdrit Muay Thai Pradal Serey Panantukan Yaw-Yan Ginta: The Dangerously Quick Martial Artist Jettisoning himself while toked up on quick reflexes and enduring stamina is Ginta whose undying charisma towards his fans, friends, and foes is well-seasoned with zeal, passion, patience, and duty as a consistently willing trooper. What makes Ginta an effective trooper inside and outside the ring are his iron limbs, head, sinews, and spirit as well as the high levels of respect and allegiance he has for his friends and his opponents. Nobody can ever knock Ginta down. His thrusting headbutts, upward headbutts, shin kicks, spinning back kicks, cross punches, thrust kicks, and spinning backfists can cause internal damage to the organs. Lethwei Pencak Silat Sanda Jeet Kune Do Bando Naban Pongyi Thaing Ayame: The Formidably Steely Martial Artist Dishing out copious amounts of greatly ferocious strikes and fiercely effective takedowns is Ayame who has a lot to give to the world with her ambition, persistence, perseverance, and resilience as a powerful champion. Her combination of physically powerful attacks and psychologically formidable mettle forms the cornerstone of Ayame’s unbreakable spirit and determination to challenge herself against stronger and more skilled opponents. She is truly a disciplined and hard-working fighter. Her uppercuts, jabs, hooks, liver punches, reverse punches, spinning axe kicks, and wristlocks can cause devastating muscle evisceration. Bokator Koppojutsu Hapkido Yongmudo Taekkyeon Taekwondo…
