Hmm... Well, you'd have to break down what poison essentially is in terms of combat. It's subtle, assassination-type style rather than a direct fighting, so naturally, that means movements revolving around it would be soft-style. But it doesn't have to stop there. We can look at striking movements found in snake-stype kung fu or wing chun, et cetera. Hakuda Meijin would be like... if in the human world, a martial artist strikes because their attacks are meant to incapacitate, either by striking pressure points or shaking up muscles in the victim in order to induce internal damage, then you'd look at it from a spiritual point of view. The intention in the strike would be to poison, so every time your guy would attack with his strikes, they'd leave no actual damage, but each one would be equivalent to a snake bite; sending a shockwave of poison, in a sense, penetrating the enemy's body.

Perhaps one technique is designed to induce paralysis by using soft strikes with just fingertips or knuckles. And another could be poison designed to mess with the enemy's senses. Another can be a "heavy" attack, like your own personal "Ikkotsu", which deals a massive influx of poison designed to kill or perhaps even poison akin to acid, designed to dissolve whatever the martial artist's hands touch.

You could even take it further, mixing it up with Hakuda Ōyō, by having normal hand strikes materialize as waves of snake-like apparitions that manifest in the wake of every hand strike, in order to attack from a distance with the intended poison. Lot of fun can be had there.

Hope this helps
