Reshotengi pronounced: rea-sho-ten-guy

What is it?

Reshotengai is a very new form of fighting that combines martial arts, parkour(free running), and "spiritual" techniques to create a special kind of fighting. The spiritual aspect of Reshotengai is more of the flow of energy within the body. sword fighting is also included with Reshotengai due to the style of swordplay native to Reshotengai.

flow of energy

On the body there are four places where energy is released from all respectively marked by a symbol. The "soul energy" flows around the entire body until a release point. Each of the symbols are drawn on the body pre-fight, or tattooed for constant acknowledgement. The soul of the body is located by finding the sternum and moving the finger down until finding a small indentation where the sternum ends. At that indentation a symbol is tattooed as a sign of the placement of the soul. Now that we know the four places of energy release and "soul placement" the energy being released must be controlled. This is done by using a arrow-like symbol that directs the flow of the energy. The underside of the two wrists, two of the four energy release points, have the symbol drawn or tattooed on them. Then to direct that flow of energy a arrow-like symbol is drawn from the release point to the tip of the middle finger. This allows the energy to be directed to the hands for fighting. Likewise the flow can be directed towards the elbow for those who use the elbow as a powerful strike rather than the hands. The legs are done the same way, except the energy release point is on the kneecap. However, unlike the arms the arrow-like symbol only goes down to the tip of the middle toe for the use of the shins and feet for fighting. No alteration can be made to the legs' flow.

Technique

the technique of Reshotengai is all stated by a single phrase. "Meditation, rengatsu, practice, fight" meditation is crucial to the technique of Reshotengai. when you meditate in full you can develop a bond between mind and soul and allow for greater ability and control over energy. Rengatsu pronounced Ren-got-soo is a rigorous workout that pushes the mind, body, and soul to the max ability to maximize control and movement. Rengatsu is very fluid and difficult. Only attepmt after an instructor has explicitly shown how to do it. Parkour can be learned through youtube videos or gymnastics. This is a crucial part on the style of Reshotengai. Practice and workout with swords and fighting techniques with sparring partners to further your strength and control of the body. Fight is the application of these skills however, it is wise to listen to this next statement. The only use of Reshotengai is strictly to protect yourself and others. Do not use it because you can.
