Taishingen Martial Arts

Translated to 'The Art of Solemn Malice', this martial arts originates from Sunagakure of the Wind Country; It's founder being Tami Nihano. This Martial Arts style promotes flexibility and Longevity with it's focus on balance of mind and body. It revolves around two 'paradigms' of attack; Yin promotes strategy play and moving your opponent into vulnerable positions whilst Yang promotes singular, destructive attacks. Components from across the ninja world have combined into the style now wielded. The Chakra control empowered taijutsu from the current Hokage, Stances and gestures from the Hyuuga, Training practices from the Shindou and secrets hidden within the jungles of the Monkey Clan.

Tami is the only master current and seems very select of who she will teach. She seeks those who have skill in both ninjutsu and taijutsu, those who fit her moral and philosophical views and those she deems as 'true ninja'. Those coming to ask for her lessons have been turned away despite obvious skills; so be prepared for your test against her.

Yin Stance
As stated before, the Yin stance promotes ninjutsu and setting up of advantages. This manifests as set of tricks, feints and jukes that mislead or set-up their opponents into specific situations.
