Name: Kakusareru Hakusha (Concealed Spur)
Rank: E
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: The user must have prepared a shin or forearm guard or some other appearal ahead of time to carry a kunai or some other small bladed weapon. By moving the leg or arm in a violent and abrupt manner (such as stomping the foot or yanking the arm back) while tensing and relaxing particular muscles, the user can cause the blade to slide out enough to be used to stab or slash an opponent. Typically combined with a knee or elbow strike, this is usually the option of last resort - used to inflict a lethal blow on an enemy too close to dodge that has the user at a disadvantage.

Name: Rakka Tasuku Ouda (Falling Wing Strike)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: Done when the users upper body is at least a foot higher than the target, the user brings their fist inwards and lifts their elbow up then simultaneously sends the opposite leg to the side or back, folds the other knee, and brings their elbow down onto the target while bending their body such that when the strike hits both upper and lower arms are perpendicular to the point of impact. Due to the extreme force of the attack those so hit and not heavily braced will be knocked down. Victims unfortunate enough to be hit in the soloplexus or kidney will have the wind knocked out of them or be in immense pain for 2 posts.

Name: Tasuku Toukkyuu (Wing Throw)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: A full-body throw using both strength and leverage, the user starts by grabbing one of the opponents limbs or weapons then turning while simultaneously dropping to one knee so that the target travels over their back in an arc. The combination of leverage and rotation is enough to easily throw a large adult male up to 5 meters and have them land within a foot of the practitioners intended target.

Name: Aki Higyou (Autumn Flight)
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: A three-blow combination that starts with a spinning backhand or forearm strike to the targets head then is followed up by a low sweeping kick at the knees and finally a rising knee to the targets face as they tumble forward from the kick. Due to the extra force generated by the victim falling into the knee as it comes up, the attack is easily capable of snapping the target back up into the air for several feet.

Name: Bunretsu Kusa(Splitting Grass)
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: One of the most direct and violent moves in Kage Tsume, Splitting Grass is used by first occupying the enemies hands (usually by grabbing them) then forcing them to the sides while stepping in to deliver a vicious headbutt to the targets nose or a knee to the groin. The most destructive part comes afterwards as the user lets go of the dazed opponents hands and jumps upwards while curling into a tight ball until their body is at chest level with their target and their head pointing down. From this position they extend their body so that their hands reach towards the ground while both feet make violent contact with the opponents face or jaw. The resulting hand stand/ mule kick combination with extra rotational energy is easily capable of launching a man sized target over 3 meters into the air and up to 4 meters away as well causing extensive damage to the face. Due to the burst of speed required this can be the only offensive action performed by the user in their post.

Name: Haiboku Yabu (Beating Bushes)
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (melee)
Description: Starting in close the user will make, in rapid succession, an elbow strike at the victims face then a knee strike at the floating rib followed by striking with the heel of the plam at the soloplexus before ducking and spinning under the victims arm to come behind where they will deliver a spear hand to the knee, a knee strike to the kidney, and an elbow strike to the base of the skull followed up by a downward forearm strike at the junction of shoulder and arm and a snap kick to the back of the other knee. Those who are unable to defend against this flurry of strikes will end up on the ground as their legs collapse from the strikes to the knees and risk a punctured lung (from the strike to the floating rib), internal bleeding (from the kidney strike), and a concussion (from the strike to the skull).
