Chojin Kung Fu

Chojin Kung Fu (超人拳法 Chōjin Kenpō)

About[]

Taught to Victory Ramenman by Chen Zongming are the Chōjin Hyakuni Gei (超人一〇二芸, 102 Chōjin Attacks) techniques that Ramenman fought with. For generations, each successor devised a new technique and added it to the Toryu Gokui Sho. Because Ramenman had already contributed the Camel Clutch (機矢滅留・苦落血(キャメルクラッチ), Camel Clutch), they are technically now the Chōjin Hyakusan Gei (超人一〇三芸, 103 Chōjin Attacks). Furthermore, each techniques is numbered, although only the Zukotsu Kirimomi Kyaku (#1), Hyakusen Haykushō Kyaku (#8), Meidatsu Hōkai Ken (#72), and the Rekka Taiyō Kyaku (#82) were ever established.

The majority of the techniques are kicks, but there are Kenpo attacks and spells as well. Additionally, in earlier chapters Ramenman is shown to be able to use the Toryu Gokui Sho as armor (by wrapping it around his body), as well as transforming it into a pair of nunchaku.

Top Techniques[]

The highest level techniques of the Chōjin Hyakuni Gei (頂上拳 Chōjō Ken). Because it is believed that whoever learns them is capable of becoming a god or devil, only those with a reasonable mind were allowed to study them. However, after the Chikinmon San Akunin Arc the studying of them became prohibited, with the sole exception of Ramenman.

Five Element Forms[]

Chojin Kung-Fu uses the five classical Chinese elements to metaphorically represent five different states of combat. Also called the "Five Fists" or "Five Phases," (Wǔ Xíng 五行) the Five Elements are related to Taoist cosmology although the names do not literally correspond to the cosmological terms.

Chojin Kung-Fu practitioners use the five elements as an interpretative framework for reacting and responding to attacks. This follows the five element theory, a general combat formula which assumes at least three outcomes of a fight; the constructive, the neutral, and the destructive. Chojin Kung-Fu students train to react to and execute specific techniques in such a way that a desirable cycle will form based on the constructive, neutral and destructive interactions of five element theory. Where to aim, where to hit and with what technique—and how those motions should work defensively—is determined by what point of which cycle they see themselves in.

Each of the elements has variant applications that allow it to be used to defend against all of the elements (including itself), so any set sequences are entirely arbitrary, though the destructive cycle is often taught to beginners as it is easier to visualize and consists of easier applications. Some schools will teach the five elements before the twelve animals because they are easier and shorter to learn.

Movement	Fist	Chinese	Pinyin	Description
Metal	Splitting	劈	Pī	To split like an axe chopping up and over.
Water	Drilling	鑽	Zuān	Drilling forward horizontally like a geyser.
Wood	Crushing	崩	Bēng	To collapse, as a building collapsing in on itself.
Fire	Pounding	炮	Pào	Exploding outward like a cannon while blocking.
Earth	Crossing	橫	Héng	Crossing across the line of attack while turning over.

Animal Forms[]

Chojin Kung-Fu is based on twelve distinct animal forms (Shí'èr Xíngquán 十二形拳). These emulate the techniques and tactics of the corresponding animal rather than just their physical movements.

**The twelve animals**
	Chinese	Pinyin	Onyomi
Dragon	龍	Lóng	Ryū	The only "mythical" animal taught. In some lineages it is practiced separately from tiger because they are said to clash.
Tiger	虎	Hǔ	Ko	Features lunging with open-handed clawing attacks mimicking the pounce of a tiger
Monkey	猴	Hóu	Kō	Performed with light, empty movement, simple striking combined with parrying and deception of distance.
Horse	馬	Mǎ	Ba	Combination of Metal and a hand movement that mimics the action of a rearing a horse. Performed with tension, however.
Alligator	鼉	Tuó	Da	The animal it is meant to represent is the Yangtze River alligator. Sometimes referred to as a water-skimming insect, or water lizard. The movements of a yangtze river alligator have been compared to those of a pig crossed with a dragon.
Chicken	鷄	Jī	Kei	Mimics the pecking movement of a chicken. This form also mimics the quick and aggressive combat style of the rooster.
Sparrowhawk	鷂	Yào	Yō	This can mean 'Sparrowhawk,' though the more common word for "Sparrowhawk" used to be Zhān (鸇), which has fallen from use over the years. The Chinese word for "Goshawk" covers both the Goshawk and the Sparrowhawk. Note - in some lineages this animal is translated to mean the Grouse or small pheasant, as well as the phoenix.
Swallow	燕	Yàn	En	Follows the swift and random movements of the swallow by rotating position and circling the enemy with strong but quick foot movement. May refer to the Grey-headed swamphen.
Snake	蛇	Shé	Ja	Includes both Constrictor and Viper styles.
Paradise Flycatcher	𩿡	Tái	Tai	This is a flycatcher native to Asia. Due to the rarity of this character it may be translated as ostrich, dove, hawk or even phoenix.
Eagle	鷹	Yīng	Yō	In Kung-Fu, "the Bear and Eagle combine," meaning that the Bear and Eagle techniques are often used in conjunction with each other. There is a bird called the "Bear Eagle," which covers the characteristics of both forms.
Bear	熊	Xióng	Yū
