I tend to view Hakuda as a "complex hybrid martial art", though this is solely a matter of personal preference. Your approach may be the more accurate one in that regard.

Good thing you emphasised the importance of Reiatsu usage when employing Hakuda. It doesn't seem to be common knowledge even though it should be. Spiritual beings like Shinigami can be extremely physically strong, but only with the application of spiritual pressure and resolve they get to level entire settlements with what is basically a series of punches.

I've been interested in your Buki article before. While I think I've got basic techniques covered, I still find my take on advanced Hakuda lacking. Buki might help me expand that element so that Hakuda would rise to be equal to Zanjutsu and the infamous Kido.
