Anything Goes Fuuchouin ryuu is a new branch of Anything Goes Martial Arts that is primarily based on the Omote and Ura Fuuchouin fighting form with a mix of the other Fuuchouin clan styles incorporated in it.
Overview[]
The Anything Goes Fuuchouin ryuu is an unpredictable and erratic style whose motions have been described as hypnotic like the wind itself. During his fight with Yohan Ranma bent, contorted and moved into impossible positions, and bombarded Yohan with a barrage of attacks; each one carrying the force of a miniature tornado, slicing and tearing apart where he struck. The style relies on ruthlessly exploiting the opponents weaknesses through extreme cunning and deviousness. With its wild movements it befuddles the opponent, as they attempt to strike at what appear to be openings, only to find themselves falling into one trap after another.
This art was created to actually fight the Fuuchouin-ryuu so unlike its other sub styles it liberally interchanges hand-to-hand combat and thread techniques. Anything Goes Fuuchouin ryuu much like the Materialization technique of the Nishi Fuuchouin focuses on making the threads an extension of the body, utilizing Fuuchouin techniques to distract, disarm, immobilize or strike against an opponent, and incorporate it’s many elements into a single fluid motion that gracefully encompasses kicks, blocks, strikes in an unnatural flow of unconnected attacks, transitions, and footwork. Ranma expanded on the basic Onmyōdō teachings of the Fuuchouin ryuu.
It is akin to fighting several powerful combatants at once; as a cascade of Fuuchouin techniques interrupts opponent attacks, confound their own strategies, and attacks with enough power to erode entire mountain sides, crash into their being. Yohan compared the style even in its infancy as fighting a force of nature unto itself, an avatar of wind, a master of magic, a cunning fox.
This style is mainly based on the ability to discern, and manipulate the flow of the energies of the world. By combining his on experience with sensing and manipulating ki with the Fuuchouin ryuu practice of manipulating vibrations Ranma gained an extraordinary sensory input in regards to energy, demonstrating a highly acute level spiritual awareness. He is able to detect what he refers to as "ripples in a pond", the subtle vibrations, wavelengths, the ebb and flow of energy as it propagates through the world. Though he has yet to match Yohan’s ability to detect the presence of spiritual beings, the use of supernatural abilities, and even the presence of magic as it is cast within a vast area.
