All martial arts memories that Sekiro has mastered: Core principles: Ashina-ryu·Wuxin-ryu Sekiro's martial arts foundation stems from the ninja skills taught by his adoptive father Xiao, but after repeated training in his personal actual combat, he finally formed a unique style-Ashina-ryu·Wuxin-ryu. Its core lies in: The state of "unintentional": abandon distracting thoughts, ignore life and death, focus on the battle itself, and achieve the state of maximizing perception and speeding up reaction. This is the psychological basis for its ability to "see through" fatal attacks and perfectly block/rebound. "Flowing Water" Momentum: The movements are continuous like flowing water, and the transition between offense and defense is seamless. Use all terrains and environments (wall kicking, head stepping, hook rope assisted displacement) to drag the opponent into your own rhythm. The key to "one strike": Pursue accurate, fatal and efficient strikes. Don't pursue gorgeous combos, but look for flaws to cause maximum damage or destroy the opponent's posture at the minimum cost. The soul of "endurance killing": The ultimate goal is "endurance killing" - the skill of instantly ending the opponent's life. This is not only technology, but also a manifestation of determination and will. 1. Swordsmanship·Knife Technique This is the core of Sekiro's battle, with swords as the main weapon. Basic knife skills: "Knock": A quick, tentative light slash, used to harass, measure distance, interrupt the opponent's movements or connect subsequent moves. "Slash": A heavy slash or thrust with greater power and greater flaws, used to break defenses, cause considerable damage, or deliver a decisive blow when the opponent is unbalanced. "Construction": Different starting hands and preparation postures affect the focus of offense and defense and the connection of subsequent moves. Sekiro prefers a flexible mid-section. "Receipt": It is not a brute force block, but a "block" or "block" with precise angles, strength and timing at the moment when the opponent's weapon is about to hit. It not only defuses the attack, but also violently shakes the opponent's weapon and body, causing it to lose balance, expose huge flaws, and even directly destroy its posture. It requires extraordinary reaction speed and a deep understanding of distance and opponent's movements. "Cut off"/"See through": Counter skill. At the moment when the opponent's thrust is about to reach the body, use precise steps (usually sliding sideways or stepping forward) to avoid the sharp edge, and at the same time use the blade (or foot) to violently step down/suppress the opponent's weapon or arm, causing the opponent's attack to become ineffective and fall into a huge stiffness. It embodies the prediction and decision of "unintentional flow". "Thrust Technique": A basic and deadly straight-line thrust. Quick movements, long attack range, focusing on one point penetration. Often used to launch attacks from mid-range, counterattack, or finish off an unbalanced opponent. The essence lies in the coordination of steps and arms, and the pursuit of ultimate speed and accuracy. "Whirlwind Slash": Rotate the body quickly and drive the blade to perform a wide range of circular or semi-circular slashes. The basic version is a single spinning slash, mainly used to clear multiple enemies in close proximity or create space when being besieged. Advanced/Acquired Sword Skills: "Wei Mingliu·One-Character Slash": One Style: Concentrate the whole body's strength to make a powerful single slash from top to bottom or horizontally. The movements are steady and majestic. It has a strong "knocking" effect on the opponent's posture and can also interrupt most attacks. Contains the will to "kill with one strike". Second Style: The second, more violent slash that follows quickly after the "First Style" is more powerful and has greater flaws. It is used to chase or completely destroy a shaken opponent. It reflects the continuity of "flowing water". "Ashi Mingren·Cross Slash": extremely fast Iai sword drawing technique. The action trajectory of drawing the sword, slashing horizontally, and sheathing the sword is completed in an instant, shaped like a "ten". The characteristic is that the moves are concealed, sudden, extremely fast, and difficult to defend. "Iai Slash": Broadly refers to the technique of quickly drawing a sword to attack, and is the basic principle of "Cross Slash". In a narrow sense, it refers to a cutting attack that focuses on the explosive power of the sword at the moment of drawing it out, emphasizing the swiftness and lethality of cutting as soon as it is drawn out of the sheath and finishing as soon as the sword is sheathed. "Secret · Flying across the Floating Boat": A secret technique that elevates Iai's sword-drawing technique to the state of transformation. It is not a single slash, but Iai draws and retracts the sword multiple times at an ultra-high speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye. His figure shuttles and slashes around the target like a ghost, and the sword light interweaves into a network, as if he is walking on the water. Every draw of the sword is precise and deadly, and every draw of the sword is a preparation for the next faster slash. This is the perfect combination of speed, precision and lethality, embodying the ultimate concentration of "Wu Xin" and the ultimate smoothness of "Flowing Water". "Whirlwind Slash·Second Combination": After the basic whirlwind slash, use the remaining momentum and waist strength of the rotation to immediately follow up with a second powerful spinning slash in the opposite or same direction. The attack range and duration are expanded, causing continuous oppression to surrounding enemies. "Whirlwind·Three Levels": The ultimate evolution of Whirlwind. Perform three high-speed spinning slashes in a row, each one faster and faster than the last, with a wider range. "Wei Mingren·Climbing the carp/falling the carp": This is not a specific move, but refers to the instinctive choice of the most effective counterattack method based on the degree of collapse of the opponent's posture and one's own position after the rebound is successful. "Ash Mingren·Secret·Dragon Flash": Iai draws his sword at super high speed, and swings out a condensed vacuum sword energy (or understood as sword wind). It has super long distance and powerful penetration and impact. It is the embodiment of practicing swordsmanship to the extreme and using "qi" to control the "sword". "Ashi Mingren·Secret Biography·Isshin": After witnessing the ultimate secret of Sword Master Ashina Isshin, he realized it. A lifetime of swordsmanship condensed into the ultimate continuous slash in a single moment. The movements include a seamless combination of basic slashing, thrusting, spinning slashing and other techniques, pouring out like a storm without any gaps, embodying the ultimate concentration of "Wu Xin" and the ultimate coherence of "Flowing Water". 2. Taijutsu As a ninja, Sekiro's physical skills are an indispensable part and are closely integrated with swordsmanship. Basic body skills: "Footwork": Fast, flexible and changeable moving footwork. Including sliding steps, stepping steps, sprinting, retreating steps, side movements, etc. The core is to keep the center of gravity stable and be able to attack, defend or dodge at any time. Taking advantage of the terrain (wall pushing, jumping) is also an important part. "Suffering from the body": When being knocked down or blown away, the technique is used to resolve the impact by rolling and other methods, and to quickly restore the fighting posture. Advanced physical skills: "Kick": Mainly used for close combat, breaking defenses or creating distance. "Head Stomp": At the moment of the opponent's attack, accurately step on his head or use the force of your weapon to jump up, not only to resolve the attack, but also to occupy a high position, creating opportunities for aerial attacks or ground counterattacks. "Xianfeng Temple Boxing Method·Kowtow Combination Boxing": An ancient boxing method derived from the monk soldiers of Xianfeng Temple. It uses a unique "kowtowing" hand gesture to confuse the enemy, but in fact it hides rapid and fierce continuous punches. The hand starts like a devout kneeling, and instantly turns into a storm-like combination of short-distance straight punches and swing punches. The punches are fast and high-density, focusing on the center line of the opponent's torso and head, aiming to destroy the opponent's balance and defense with continuous impacts, making it difficult for him to parry. "Senhoji Boxing·Bodhisattva Kick": A powerful finishing move of Senboji Boxing. After suppressing the opponent with a series of kowtow punches or seizing his weakness, accumulate all the strength in the legs and launch a powerful, top-down heel drop or powerful side kick, like a Bodhisattva's angry Vajra delivering a thunderous blow. It is powerful enough to severely injure or even knock down an opponent who is unbalanced or whose defenses have collapsed with one blow. "Xianfengji Boxing·Dragon and Snake Flow": The secret of Xianfengji boxing combines the rising agility of the "dragon" and the entwining treachery of the "snake". When performing, the body undulates and twists like a dragon and snake, and the steps are weird and unpredictable. While dodging the opponent's attacks, it uses short hitting techniques such as palm strikes, elbow strikes, and knee strikes from tricky angles (such as under the ribs and inside the joints), accompanied by grappling and throwing movements. The core is to use softness to overcome hardness, use skill to offload force, destroy the opponent's center of gravity and rhythm through close combat, and throw him or give him a critical blow. It reflects the ultimate application of "flowing water" in hand-to-hand combat. "Throwing skills/joint skills": As a ninja, close grappling, joint locking skills, and throwing are essential skills, which are used to subdue enemies silently or deal with specific targets. This is the basis of ninja training. "Truncal Breathing": A deep breathing method that can quickly adjust the breath and restore physical strength between fierce battles. 3. Ninjutsu Silent footwork, breath blocking, shuriken, fire tube/fire breath, poison, and rope hooks; the ninjutsu mastered by Sekiro is more focused on practical applications and assassination techniques Summary: All these skills serve one ultimate goal: "Ninjutsu" - to complete the mission of protecting the master in the most efficient and decisive way.
