Fighting Stlye

 * 1) ==Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu==


 * 1) *Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu focuses on iaido. Iaido, derived from iaijutsu, develops the samurai skill of drawing the sword and cutting in the same movement, rather than cutting from a traditional stance after already having drawn the sword. Iaido aims to cultivate spiritual harmony in addition to the battlefield skill of iaijutsu. Eishin-ryu contains sitting techniques, standing techniques and techniques for use against multiple opponents, as well as for use on terrain.

Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu

 * 1) *Although the samurai carried both a katana and a wakizashi, they only used the katana outdoors and the wakizashi indoors. Miyamoto Musashi, the famous samurai who wrote "The Book of Five Rings", developed Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu. This style's name translates to "Two Heavens, One School" and refers to the trademark stance of both swords held above the head to attack. The swords work in a sequential rhythm; as one sword defends, the other attacks in the next step.

Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu

 * 1) *Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu remains the oldest surviving school of Japanese swordsmanship. According to Koryu, an index of traditional Japanese martial arts, Katori Shinto-ryu dates to 1447 and has had 20 headmasters based in Japan. The style encompasses training in the use of the katana, the bo staff, the halberd-like naginata, the spear and in empty-hand combat through jujitsu. Katori Shinto-ryu headmasters enjoy the status of Living National Treasures of Japan.

Mugai-ryu

 * 1) *The Chicago Mugai-ryu Study Group manual explains that this style has existed since 1691. It has both kenjutsu and iaijutsu techniques. Students train with bokken--wooden swords--or iaito, aluminum training swords with a dulled edge. Advanced students move on to tameshigiri exercises, which involve cutting targets to ensure proper form and blade angle during a cut. Mugai-ryu's iaijutsu curriculum incorporates two-person forms to help students achieve a sense of distance.

Ono-ha Itto-ryu

 * 1) *Ono-ha Itto-ryu's name translates to "one sword." The underlying principles of the style, and the branches of Itto-ryu that followed it, rely on a single powerful cut to defeat the enemy. According to Fighting Arts, Ono-ha Itto-ryu curriculum has over 150 techniques, many of which involve a direct downward cut through the center line of the body, often using the wrists as a target during their raised position when ready to attack. Modern kendo, the sport form of kenjutsu, derives its underlying philosophy from Itto-ryu.

Yagyu Shinkage-ryu

 * 1) *Yagyu Shinkage-ryu was the first style of the Tokugawa shogunate, before they began using Ono-ha Itto-ryu. Shinkage-ryu emphasizes flowing, subtle movements, and uses a longer and thinner blade. It contains some principles of aikido: instead of killing an enemy, the style encourages the use of disarming techniques.

Jigen-ryu

 * 1) *Jigen-ryu was founded in the late sixteenth century. It emphasizes a powerful first strike, intended to kill an enemy instantly. Students of Jigen-ryu stand in a modified Hasso-no-kamae stance, with the sword held vertically on the right side of the face with the guard at cheek level. The attacker makes a running hidari-kesa cut from the opponent's left shoulder to his right hip, cutting into the base of the neck where armor would not protect easily. You can learn Jigen-ryu in Kagoshima prefecture today.

Tamiya-ryu

 * 1) *Tamiya-ryu, founded in the late 1560s, makes use of a sword with a slightly longer hilt. A longer hilt gives the sword greater stability and power. When you stand in the high stance, Jodan-no-kamae, your opponent will have a tendency to look at the raised sword blade, and they will not notice foot movement. Tamiya-ryu requires large, precise movements.

Weapon of Choice

 * Katana blade that he usually keeps on his back, though he has two of them that also sit on his right hip  - Handle length: 10.9 Blade length: 28.5 Overall-Height: 5'5
 * Wakizashi blade that he keeps within his shirt- Handle length 5.5 Blade length: 12.99 Overall-Height: 3'5

Background
'''Kiken and his younger sister Kimiko were both children of a powerful Samurai who had all his life fought in wars for causes not to justified. Due to him slaughtering men upon men on the battle field. It caused him to grow bitter and cruel. Their mother was a simple field worker who owned her own tea shop on one of the islands of Japan under there fathers name. When Kiken was 15 his mother grew ill... and with that his father grew abusive. Taking a liking to beating the children and forcing them to work long and tiring hours. His mother... with her last breathes finally told her them to leave. She was too weak to go... and knew that there father would never attempt to hurt her as he did them. Their father being in the other room.... was  not taking this lightly. Barging into the room he met the young boy and began to beat him relentlessly. Kiken...fed up with the punishment lashed out. And managed to take his father down with 10 hard punches to the head, knocking him out. With sorrow in his heart, he took the money that his mother gave him... and  him and his yonger sister said there goodbyes. Taking a boat trip all the way through Japan they learned many trades.... how to steal and do whatever it takes to survivie. '''

'''When Kiken and his younger sister had hit there late Teens. Kiken had placed himself within the army''' to help pay for him and his sisters expenses times were hard but they were willing to make him work. When Kiken became 22. He was able to come home.... he learned many things along his travels and with the raging war going on during this era of time it had turned him into a well toned warrior. But... with the expense of a PTSD. Kiken had seen many die, and had lost his mind during the insanity. To help cope with the pain he began to drink, quite heavily untill it became his way of life. At the Age of 23 he was already a full-fledge alchohalic and a angry one. A young man who was once known for his Excellent Martial arts skill, was now pushed down to the towns local drunk. He now lives with his younger sister in a shack out of the town that they shop and interact with on a daily basis. Kiken wishes to make money on his own time... and is no hurry to do anything. "...Just... waiting for the clock to drop zero y'know.."
