Hakuda (白打, "Hand-to-Hand Combat"; lit. white hits), known alternatively as Taijutsu (体術, "Body Skill") or Martial Arts (武道, Bodō), is one of the four main combat fields practised by the Shinigami. Hakuda deals with striking the opponent in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat; as such those of the old Onmitsukidō excelled in this field, though this is not a requisite for mastery. Notable Hakuda practitioners include Kensei Muguruma and Rosuto Shiba. Following the defeat of Ryan Kuchiki and the Gotei Remnant the main institution of Hakuda became the newly reopened Shinō Academy under Shiju Shūdō and Ashido Kanō.
Terminology & styles[]
Terminology.
Hard technique -- direct actions, whether in attack, defence or counter-attacks, that meets force with force; the key is interrupting flow. Examples include a kick aimed low to break the target's leg or a chop which breaks or halts the target's arm.
Soft technique -- movements and actions meant to diffuse or redirect an opponents force, whilst using the bare minimum of effort or force yourself. Examples include arm-locks and throws. Hanki is a further example of soft applications applied through Kidō.
Maai -- the space between opponents during combat. Kenji Hiroshi created the Shukuchi to eliminate this distance instantaneously.
Tai sabaki -- whole-body movement designed not only to evade an incoming attack but to do so in such a way that the receiver ends up in an advantageous position.

Katashi's lightning-based Shunkō.
Shunkō (瞬閧, Flash War Cry) -- an advanced application of Hakuda and Kidō, combining the former's physical techniques with the latter's spell-craft. It can be expressed in multiple elemental forms; an example of this is the lightning-based variation utilized by Katashi of the Imawashī.
Hanki (反鬼, Reverse Demon) -- an ability designed to nullify Kidō by striking it with perfectly opposite speed and power. It can also be used to completely immobilize one's movement.
Mukyū Shunkō (無窮 瞬閧, Tireless Flash War Cry) -- an ability which enables one to encircle their bodies multiple times with their reiatsu, resulting in a Shunkō that can be maintained indefinitely once activated.
Raiōken (雷王拳, Thunder King Fist) -- an improvement on the Sandbag Beat technique where the practitioner launches multiple ultra-high-speed punches against a single target.
Ikkotsu (一骨, Single Bone) -- an absurdly powerful single-hit technique with the potential to completely destroy the area struck.

Super Harisen Slipper (スーパーハリセンスリッパ, Sūpā Harisen Surippa) -- a near-comical technique employed by Hiyori Sarugaki, most of the time against Shinji Hirako and Kenji Hiroshi. She simply slaps them with one of her sandals, often to great effect.
Super Gatling Harisen Slap -- a variant technique of Super Harisen Slipper, it was employed by Kei Yume and Hiyori Sarugaki. The technique was used once on Kenji Hiroshi, snapping him out of his Hollow Form. The target can either be straddled or grabbed by the collar while Kei/Hiyori slapped them with their free hand in extremely quick succession.
Enka (煙火, Fireworks) -- a technique utilized by Kenji Hiroshi that combines Hakuda punches with Hadō #31. Shakkahō. The spell is set on a delay and passed onto the foes skin following physical contact, and then explodes, allowing for a swift follow-up.
