Fists of Creation & Destruction

Nature: Technical Origin: Kun'lao Flourish: Crippling

A unique and highly technical martial arts style developed for use by doctors and originating from Mt. Tien. Located at the top of Mt. Tien is Kun'lun Sanctuary. While the martial artists that protect this sanctuary practice Heavenly Mountain, there are healers and doctors who live alongside these martial artists. Just as people climb Mt. Tien to learn martial arts, doctors climb the mountain in search of the lost medical secrets these healers hold. In addition to numerous highly advanced and effective medicines, these healers can teach doctors Fists of Creation & Destruction. This style revolves around the use of pressure points, with the left hand being used to hit pressure points related to healing others, while the right hand specializes in striking pressure points intended to disable attackers.

Fists of Creation & Destruction's Flourish is Crippling, representing its users' ability to strike pressure points on an opponents body. Striking these presure points can result in the loss of feeling in a limb, or total body paralysis.

Core Principles

There are a few key elements to those who practice Fists of Creation & Destruction. These elements are central to the martial art's key concept: Using one's advanced medical knowledge to strike pressure points that can either heal or damage one's opponent.

• Creation: Adherents to this style are taught numerous pressure points that can assist others in pain. Possible pressure point strikes include ones capable of nullifying pain, curing disease or poison, or even increasing the healing process.

• Destruction: At the same time, adherents also learn pressure points that allow them to severely destroy the bodies of attackers, or at the very least send them into great pain. This can include paralyzing limbs, causing extreme pain in the body, or even blocking Qi.

• A Style for Doctors: Although the style seems extremely powerful, the bar for entry is high. One must already have a fair amount of medical knowledge to even start learning this style. The pressure point strikes are also not all the style is capable of. It has access to numerous kicks and elbows as well, with the pracitioner taught to strike at weak points across the body where such attacks woud be most effective. The style also teaches grappling to neutralize an opponent without harming them, or crippling submission holds capable of breaking the body.

Weapons

Weapons associated with Fists of Creation & Destruction are typically weapons associated with doctors.

• Acupuncture Needles: Adherents are taught how to strike pressure points from afar with the use of acupuncture needles.

• Scalpels: Although the use of scalpels is quite lethal and likely against the oath most doctors take, adherents are taught how to use the scalpel either aggressively or through use of misdirection to cut arteries or even kill.

• Bonesaw: Doctors are used how to wield a bonesaw like a cleaver, using it as a blade. Most of the techniques taught using this weapon are defensive, and more so in the case a blade is drawn on the doctor and they need to use a blade of their own to fight their attacker off.
