Issen

A rather rudimentary movement technique developed and used by those Hakuda disciples that lack the time or skill to master Hohō. This technique was therefore developed of a much less complex variation of the Shunpo that required a lot less time and skill to perform to a high degree, and increased in power with the students martial skill, making it an equally viable technique among masters of the art.

Unlike Shunpo, Issen is a whole body movement in which the user effectively uses the control and proprioception afforded by their martial arts to manoeuvre their bodies into advantageous positions over long distances by using their physical strength and control to move their body in such a way that is similar to leaping. Although this may seem like a relatively crude form of movement, it is this unrefined action which allows users to cover great distances in the blink of an eye, whilst simultaneously using their increased momentum to deliver more powerful blows, though to do so the user must stop their movement.
