Hey, is there any information on the the pets from Oroās new Generation cave? Are those his pets and if so, what re their names?
Iāve been wondering that for a while, especially his turtle.
Anyway, on a lighter note, Iāve been doing some research on Ken and Ryuās fighting style. According to the guide, Ansatsuken is a term used to describe a powerful killing martial art and is not a martial art itself. I know that their original style was Kyokushin Karate back in Fighting Street. But, they seem to have changed it. Itās definetly not Shotokan or any form of Okinawan Karate from what I can tell. The plot guide statted that it had elements of Judo, Karate, Koppo, and other japanese martial arts. It sounds alot like a style known as āNihon/Nippon Kenpoā
Developed in 1932 by Muneomi Sawayama ,Nippon Kempo is a Japanese martial art that engages in full-contact bouts using a full range of techniques wearing specially developed protective gear.
the art places an equal emphasis on striking techniques using hands and feet, immobilization and controls, projections and take-downs. Nippon Kempo is a defensive art that does not restrict students in methodology. It has gradually developed through the years and has become widely known and popular ? especially in Japan and Europe.
From a technical point of view, Nippon Kempo is a martial art system based on techniques of striking and kicking, (atemi-waza), blocking (uke-waza), throwing (nage-waza), reverse joint locks (kansetsu-gyakutori-waza) and ground combat (wrestling and submission holds). Nippon Kempo uses techniques that are present in other arts like judo, jujutsu, aikido, karate, and wrestling. In Japan, Nippon Kempo is practiced in over 100 universities and is part of training with many police forces.*

Some more notes:
Nippon kempo is a practical combat sport which is not steeped in the usual martial dogma associated with most traditional martial art forms.
Nippon kenpo is scientific. However, it does retain in training some of the traditional, spiritual and ceremonial aspects of the Japanese martial culture, which aid efficiency in training. Sawayama studied numerous fighting forms and created a system that incorporated whatever was realistic and practical from each.
