The Splendid Seven’s Martial Arts Monikers

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, we are delving into the nicknames that define Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as martial artists and as individuals.   Whether one is an athlete in the Olympics or a fighter in the arena, it seems like second nature to have a moniker that appropriately and, to an extent, perfectly describes the individual and their skills. This is what also makes them stand out against their competitors and leave a hallmark based on high self-esteem and hard training. For Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran, their monikers are more than just titles, they are badges of honour that they were with pride, distinction, and reverence.   Sesshoumaru: The Lord Executioner of Death Dragons and demons better be prepared to be slain by Sesshoumaru’s punches, kicks, and grapples because he can do all of that and more, showing no mercy whatsoever. With his extensive background in Karate (Shotokan, Shito-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shorei-Ryu, Motobu-Ryu, and Uechi-Ryu), Jujitsu, Shootfighting, Judo, Taekwondo, Mixed Martial Arts, and Marine Corps Martial Arts, Sesshoumaru would never hesitate to serve his opponents a meal consisting of a roundhouse kick to the head, hook and cross punches to the chest and stomach, an arm bar, and a chokehold, all with a side of honour, decorum, and reverence.   Shuran: The Grappling Sasquatch of Voracity There is no wrestling ring, no MMA cage, and no underground arena potent enough to contain this hulking Panther Yokai of a fighter known as Shuran. As a professional wrestler who focuses on Pro Wrestling, Ssireum, Mongolian Wrestling, Sumo Wrestling, Malla-yuddha, Pehlwani, Sambo, and Vale Tudo, he does not hold back on his brutal grapples that leave his foes with broken bones, frightened looks, and damaged psyches. Just one bearhug and stranglehold from Shuran complete with ground and pound attacks, knee strikes, and one a huge palm strike to the face and it is all over before his opponents know it.   Inuyasha: The Psycho Bludgeoner of Bloodshed As fighters can already see, Inuyasha is known for his powerful blows and takedowns that make mortal men weak in the knees. His expertise in Full Contact Karate (Kyokushin, Seidokaikan, Wado-Ryu, Ashihara, Budokan, Enshin, and Gosoku-Ryu), American Kenpo Karate, Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, Bokator, and Kapu Kuialua all denote his euphoric ecstasy in getting close to his opponents with a scary grin, raining a series of uppercuts, Superman punches, and axe kicks, then finishing his opponents off with a double axe handle and a piledriver that could permanently hospitalise them.   Hakkaku: The Charging Bullet of Ferocity With his knees of steel, shins of iron, elbows of stone, and will of platinum, Hakkaku springs into action to launch a series of strikes and clinches to paralyse his foes inside and out. His striking and clinching are evident in his boundless penchant for Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Panantukan, Dambe, Moraingy, and Taekkyeon, which he does with passion, drive, and determination. Hakkaku would unleash a cavalcade of knee strikes, elbow strikes, shin kicks, punches, and kicks in order to make his opponents fall like banana trees.   Ginta: The Speeding Acid Rain of Chaos Speed, agility, endurance, and quick reflexes are the hallmarks of Ginta’s capabilities as a warrior who never quits even when the chips are all down. His rapid speed is incredibly evident in his skills in Lethwei, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, Pencak Silat, Hwa Rang Do, Tang Soo Do, and Eagle Claw Kung Fu to the point where he uses his fists, feet, elbows, knees, shins, and even head to do his foes in. He would do this by unleashing a powerful flying kick to the head and proceed to whale it on them with elbow strikes, knee strikes, and shin kicks before culminating it all with one potent headbutt to make his opponent fall.   Ayame: The Tiger Queen of Furious Fists Mighty fists of iron, a steely will, Herculean strength, Mercurial speed, and bundles of confidence do not even begin to illustrate how much of a figurative and literal powerhouse Ayame really is. With her unparalleled prowess in Dutch, American, and Japanese-Style Kickboxing, Savate, Boxing, Koppojutsu, Hapkido, Nippon Kenpo, Shorinji Kenpo, Taido, Aikido, and Krav Maga, she never misses an opportunity to rain blows on perpetrators. She could very well attack her opponent with a rainstorm of jabs, uppercuts, hooks, cross punches, leopard blows, and spinning backfists and emerge as the victor to high acclaim.   Shunran: The Fiery Angel of Tricking Treats Tricking, kicking, flipping, leaping, striking, and flying through the air with the greatest of ease is Shunran whose physical flexibility and ambidexterity are nothing short of miraculously phenomenal. Her experience in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, Ninjutsu, Wing Chun, Savate, Koppojutsu, Systema, Wushu, Baguazhang, and Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu demonstrate her prodigious speed and accurate timing. This is demonstrated when she launches her flip kicks, spinning hook kicks, butterfly kicks, spinning back kicks, split kicks, backfists, and knife hands against her opponent, all while performing dance-like gymnastics.   With monikers that define The Splendid Seven in terms of martial arts skills and personalities, they are a definite shoe-in for emitting honour to themselves, their families, their mentors, and their martial arts institutes. Enemies better beware when these seven powerful Yokai martial artists are on the prowl because they wear their monikers with pride, dignity, and integrity.   If you agree with Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ayame’s, and Shunran’s monikers, please let me know in the comments below. Stay fit and kick butt, everybody.

The Splendid Seven’s Finishing Combo Attacks

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 Splendid Seven’s finishing attack combos which can leave their opponents thoroughly lacerated, brutally injured, and pale with a near-death experience they would have had.   Do you enjoy the thrill of pressing the chosen buttons on your joystick while playing your most favourite fighting video game in the whole world and seeing characters just completely whale it out on their opponents with their finishing moves? If your answer is yes, then you have come to the right place. Whether you are familiar with Tekken’s Rage Art and Rage Drives or Street Fighter’s Ultra Combos, you will automatically recognise that these attacks are no joke. They can leave foes with a quick knock out and an instant victory to the attacker who does this. Now, it is time for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran to unleash their finishing combo attacks which would not only leave their foes and opponents writhing in a world of pain but will make them realise that these lethal, powerful, and ferocious Yokai martial artists are never to be messed with. Moreover, their finishing combo attacks promise extremely high degrees of collateral damage and boundless pain.   Sesshoumaru: Rampaging Kraken Typhoon Sesshoumaru starts in his Shotokan Karate stance, pulls his left fist back but keeps his right fist forward, all while an aura charged by a mighty wind surrounds him. He lunges a series of front punches, cross punches, jabs, and gut punches. He then launches a powerful spinning roundhouse kick to the opponent’s head and takes them down with a twisting arm bar.   Shuran: Stampeding Mammoth Volcano Shuran begins in his powerful Sumo wrestling stance, fists by his sides and his aura charged by lightning and thunder. He charges to his opponent with an overpowering tackle plus a knee strike to the gut, throws a series of hammer fists to their head, lifts them up, launches a painful bearhug, and drops them savagely to the ground.   Inuyasha: Punishing Dragon Meteorite Inuyasha powers up in his Kyokushin Karate bow, gets into his stance, and pulls his fists back with his aura charged by fire. He speeds towards his opponent with a huge Superman punch plus a flurry of jabs, uppercuts, and hooks. He lands a double axe handle and an axe kick to the head before giving them a piledriver and a neckbreaker.   Hakkaku: Devouring Crocodile Cyclone Hakkaku commences in his Muay Thai stance, places both fists in front of him, raises his right leg up, and has an aura charged by metal formations. He advances towards his opponent with a clinch, which is followed by a flurry of shin kicks, front punches, an uppercut to the face, and a massive elbow strike to the head.   Ginta: Wailing Orangutan Monsoon Ginta propels the action in his Lethwei stance, places both fists in front of him, puts his right foot forward, and bears an aura charged by a gushing waterfall. He sprints to his opponent with a clinch, lands a barrage of jabs to the face, low kicks to the legs, and one massive headbutt to finish it all.   Ayame: Pouncing Lion Earthquake Ayame jettisons her combo attack in her Dutch Kickboxing stance, pulls her left fist back, keeps her right fist straight for the aim, and an aura charged by rumbling rock formations pervade her. She launches a stampede of uppercuts, jabs, hooks, and cross punches, and ends things with a spinning back fist to the nose and a foot sweep to knock her opponent cold.   Shunran: Charging Condor Tornado Shunran initiates her combo attack in her Capoeira stance, complete with her right leg bent, left leg stretched, right arm arched to her face, and left arm extended, as an aura charged by cherry blossoms encircles her. She leaps to her opponent with butterfly kicks, flying kicks, spinning kicks, cartwheel kicks, and an incisive knife hand to the face to make them fall.   There you have it, martial arts aficionados, The Splendid Seven’s finishing combo attacks. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I would love to know which ones you like, if you agree with these attack combo moves or if you think something could be tweaked up a bit. Please let me know in the comments below, and thanks for reading.

The Splendid Seven’s Martial Arts Types

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees and martial arts aficionados. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. This time, I will be delving into what type of martial artists each member of The Splendid Seven is based on their fighting styles as well as their personalities.   On a general level, each of these Yokai martial artists has something special in not only the attacking moves that they have against their opponents but also what they are defined by. This is also evident in showing that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are not the carbon-copy fighters defined by their moves but by their personalities and the diligence, hard work, intense training they have done, and focus they have placed in their chosen martial arts. If it were not already clear, Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran make martial arts a way of life full of honour, respect, cooperation, and discipline.   Sesshoumaru is the old-school traditional martial artist embracing historical tradition, boundless discipline, military precision, and sharp focus, given that he is a Karateka with special foci on Shotokan, Shotokan, Shito-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shorei-Ryu, Motobu-Ryu, and Uechi-Ryu as well as a Jujutsuka and a Judoka. Because he is a specialist in Karate, Jujitsu, and Judo, he is also aware of their respective histories, does his very best to never forget his Japanese roots, and, most of all, honour the importance of tradition and discipline in and out of the dojo. He even implements Kata when he does Taekwondo from Korea, Mixed Martial Arts and Marine Corps Martial Arts from the USA, and Shootfighting also from Japan, thus demonstrating that he is also adept at various martial arts with the hawk’s focused eye, a soldier’s military precision, and a pure saint’s patience. In fact, both the American and Japanese armies laud Sesshoumaru for combining tact with brutal punches, kicks, and grapples that leave his foes writhing in pain and terror. Acquiring acclaim as a warrior aside, Sesshoumaru despises showing off because it is a sign of shallowness and dishonour. He defines the martial arts as a journey to balance, self-respect, and honour.   Shuran is the large-and-in-charge showman thoroughly taking advantage of Professional Wrestling’s grand bravado and larger than life matches. Whether he finds himself in his native Japan, The United States of America, The United Kingdom or Mexico, audiences would definitely tune into Shuran obliterating his enemies thanks to his background in not only Pro Wrestling but also Ssireum, Mongolian Wrestling, Sumo Wrestling, Malla-yuddha, Pehlwani, Sambo, and Vale Tudo. Furthermore, Shuran does not just limit himself to fighting in Pro Wrestling arenas, but viewers would also find him competing in Vale Tudo cage matches, underground tournaments, Sambo gyms, and even outdoor arenas in order for the grapplers and the spectators to breathe in some good fresh air from nature. What makes Shuran popular among Pro Wrestling, Sambo, and Vale Tudo circles is not only his devastatingly brutal moves but also his majestically towering size, driven champion mindset, and high levels of endurance. Behind the scenes, Shuran would never be the type of person to chase fame and fortune but pursue grappling martial arts because he is passionate about them, practices them everyday, and has his family to thank for being supportive of his endeavours.   Inuyasha is the fiercely dangerous man of action mixing historical tradition and modern innovation with bloodily brutal takedowns in one lethal package. Just like his older brother Sesshoumaru, he has an extensive background in Karate, Taekwondo, Jujitsu, and Judo. He may be a Karateka with specific foci on Kyokushin, Seidokaikan, Wado-Ryu, Ashihara, Budokan, Enshin, and Gosoku-Ryu, but he also loves American Kenpo Karate, Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, Bokator, and Kapu Kuialua. Inuyasha’s fearsome fierceness is what propels him to revel in close contact combat and give his opponents the punishing flurry of beatings they deserve. Yes, there would also be a lot of blood being spewed onto Inuyasha, but he looks at his opponents’ blood on himself as a badge of honour and victory that he has worked hard to attain whether in the 100-Man Kumite or, his personal favourite, K-1 Kickboxing Tournaments. Therefore, opponents better defend themselves when Inuyasha gets close to them with a scary grin on his face and a haunting chuckle because he could ruthlessly beat them up to a bloody pulp. Inuyasha is not one to slack off as a powerful combatant because he loves facing new challenges bravely.   Hakkaku is the excitably reverent warrior ingraining himself in great sportsmanship, deep reverence to sovereigns before battle, and willingness to remain at his top game regardless of whatever situation he gets himself in. As Hakkaku is a specialist in Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Panantukan, Dambe, Moraingy, and Taekkyeon, he is always looking forward to fight opponents who are stronger, faster, and more skilled than him because new challenges always excite him. There are occasions where he does feel scared of whatever new experiences may come his way, but that never stops him from doing his very best. Hakkaku does everything he can to perfect his punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, shin kicks, leg kicks, foot kicks, and headbutts, for he knows that slacking off can only lead to an easy loss. His work ethic in improving and growing as a fighter is also evident in how he never takes triumphs and/or losses for granted, as they are experiences that him learn a lot more about himself and accept plus address what he needs to change in order to keep on growing. This also means that there are two sides of Hakkaku in which his fighter side is speedy and formidable, while his normal self is enthusiastic and good-willed towards his opponents.   Ginta is the lovably adorable pretty boy thanks to his cute dimples endeavouring to play fair, have a great attitude, and constantly show grace in…

The Splendid Seven’s Radical Martial Arts Moves

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees and martial arts aficionados. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do because they work wonderfully effective together. The fact remains that, although Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are strong fighters on their own, they work outstandingly well together when it comes to giving their foes a barrage of explosive blows as well as maintaining a sense of honour, dedication, cooperation, and brother- and sisterhood. Therefore, The Splendid Seven live, breathe, and thrive on the martial arts as their way of life.   Coming from somebody who has been playing fighting games as a young lad, watches let’s plays revolving around fighting games on YouTube, and watches a bevy of martial arts documentaries, I have also conducted research on various fighting game characters in terms of moves and attacks. I did this as a means to implement what specific punch, kick, and/or grapple Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have up their sleeves. Trust me when I say that what these seven Yokai martial artists do is neither a joke nor a game nor anything to try at home unless with parental consent or proper training. In essence, Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s strikes, grapples, and clinches could be potentially fatal if neither careful nor well-prepared, Shuran’s grapples can cause bodily trauma, Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s strikes and clinches can cause nerve damage, Ayame’s strikes can cause broken bones and concussions galore, and Shunran’s strikes can cause unconsciousness. Trying to pick fights with them and, worst of all, inciting any form of violence against them as a family plus their families as a whole are akin to demanding for a quick and speedy death sentence, so I would never recommend picking a fight with Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran if I were you.   With that said, let us delve in to what I believe are their most powerful and most effective moves in the martial arts. As a reminder, I will also put in their signature martial arts in order to formulate their most powerful attacks they would launch against their enemies. Hajime!   Sesshoumaru’s deadly accuracy and strength in the strikes and blows of Karate (Shotokan, Shito-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shorei-Ryu, Motobu-Ryu, and Uechi-Ryu); Taekwondo’s speed; Brazilian Jujitsu’s, Japanese Jujitsu’s, and Judo’s tackles, grapples, and takedowns, Mixed Martial Arts’ brutality, and Marine Corps Martial Arts’ military precision offer his foes a bitter taste of pain and punishment. This is evidenced in his following signature moves that promise clean attacks, precise timing, and boundless power. Rumbling Mastodon Hook Punch Furious Sabre-Toothed Tiger Spinning Reverse Punch Raging Tyrannosaurus Front Punch Fierce Triceratops Roundhouse Kick Punishing Stegosaurus Roundhouse Kick Seismic Brontosaurus Guillotine Choke Fast Pterodactyl Foot Sweeps   Shuran’s grappling abilities in British, American, Japanese, and Mexican Professional Wrestling, Mongolian Wrestling, Ssireum, Pehlwani, Sumo, and Malla-yuddha plus his brutal ground and pound attacks in Sambo and Vale Tudo all mean serious business when he launches these attacks against his opponents. They would find themselves badly bruised and choked out of their lives when he launches his attacks he has in store for them, which take advantage of unrelenting leverage and brute strength. Explosive Elephant Body Slam Freezing Snow Yeti Bearhug Stampeding Rhinoceros Hammer Fists Olympian Sasquatch Ground and Pound Quaking Tapir Leg Strike Raising Wild Boar Boston Crab Majestic Gorilla Full Nelson   Inuyasha’s combat versatility in the strikes and blows in Karate (Kyokushin, Seidokaikan, Wado-Ryu, Ashihara, Budokan, Enshin, and Gosoku-Ryu), American Kenpo Karate’s boundless array of powerful blows, Pankration’s formidability in brutal takedowns and grapples, Ancient Greek Wrestling’s might, Ancient Greek Boxing’s ruthlessness, Bokator’s explosion, and Kapu Kuialua’s fury demonstrate his penchant for full close contact combat. Thus, Inuyasha’s moves against his opponents promise indubitably bloody defeats. Rising Hydra Uppercut Punch Mighty Nemean Lion Superman Punch Rampaging Minotaur Liver Punches Charging Cretan Bull Double Axe Handle Flashing Pegasus Axe Kick Fiery Chimaera Spinning Back Kick Ferocious Kraken Piledriver   Hakkaku’s fists, feet, shins, knees, elbows, and head are put to lethal yet phenomenal use in Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Panantukan, Dambe, Moraingy, and Taekkyeon, for he revels in striking and clinching attacks. Whenever Hakkaku launches his attacks rich in striking and clinching regardless of distance, he ensures proper timing combined with speedy fatal blows as well as full contact towards his foes. Therefore, he shows a surprising amount of tact when it comes to entrapping his foes with his fast and sharp blows. Voracious Crocodile Swing Punch Hungry Alligator Overhand Punch Poisonous Komodo Dragon Shin Kick Vicious Viper Knee Strike Venomous King Cobra Elbow Strike Snapping Boa Constrictor Low Kick Lunging Anaconda Headbutt   Ginta’s unstoppable brand of propelling his fists, feet, shins, knees, elbows, and head is what makes him thrive so exceptionally in Lethwei, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, Pencak Silat, Hwa Rang Do, Tang Soo Do, and Eagle Claw Kung Fu. His striking and clinching attacks combine surprising his foes, quick reflexes, and relentless stamina in order to be consistently ahead of the game every single time. Even more evident is high degree of sportsmanship and dedication when going all in with his clinching and striking moves. Screaming Mandrill Haymaker Punch Jumping Baboon Crescent Kick Howling Chimpanzee Chain Punch Leaping Lemur Flying Knee Strike Sprinting Spider Monkey Shin Kick Rambunctious Orangutan Lunge Punch Gliding Tarsier Elbow Strike   Ayame’s devastatingly phenomenal and terrifyingly astounding leverage of her fists and feet make her blows in Dutch, American, and Japanese Kickboxing as well as Savate brutally explosive and full of stamina. Furthermore, the same use of her punches, kicks, and grapples are evident in Boxing, Koppojutsu, Nippon Kenpo, Shorinji Kenpo, Hapkido, Taido, Aikido, and Krav Maga. Every strike she commits towards would leave her opponents writhing in pain as well as praying for quick repose from all the excruciation they found themselves in.
