Māipō

Māipō (間合い歩, "Interval Steps"; meaning "stepping within a space") is a Hohō technique used by humans whom have rigorously practiced martial arts in order to greatly develop their speed. It is likened to the Shinigami art of Shunpō due to the form of "swishing" sound the Māipō technique generates when used to move from one point to another, but resembles Hirenkyaku due to Māipō's very fluid motions and due to the fact that it possesses the same limitations as it is being utilized by those with a physical body. Because it is a byproduct of advanced martial arts, training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Māipō can move. Those who possess little skill and have never truly advanced beyond the novice stage of training (such as those who would not be awarded black belt status in their respective martial arts) would obviously be out of practice and unable to invoke the true speed of the Māipō, causing those individuals to be considerably slower and quickly find themselves exhausted after attempting even a few steps.
