Combat Clarification - Kengan Styles Explained: The Niko Style

[@LiShuBen]

This style is like a modern version of water boxing. The flowing body of taichi, the footwork of Bagua, the strikes and explosive energy of xingyi and the grappling of shuai jiao. I need to watch this show

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@LiShuBen I would very much recommend! There are even straight up Kung Fu reps, and when you see certain movements, you can actually recognize them as things like the famous swinging, looping punches of some styles of Kung Fu and Chin Na locks!

[@izzymosley1970]

It feels like niko style was meant for practically anyone to use not only because it can adapt to pretty much any situation but also how customizable it is. From how I see it basically anyone whose limbs function properly could make their own form of niko style and probably make it effective.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@izzymosley1970 absolutely, and that way of thinking, that it’s for basically anyone and everyone, aligns with Mukaku’s original goal: to train as many Tokita Nikos as possible and have them spread the legend of Niko Style and conquer the Inside as an army

[@Meldrick-jv7sy]

That second part of your comment made me remember the way Koga used a disadvantage to his advantage against Leonardo Silva. The issue with Iron breaker is that your hand goes completely stiff from it. And he used that to his advantage, by putting pressure on Silva's arm until he(Silva) decided to stop the choke.

[@nicokrasnow1851]

​@@Meldrick-jv7sy yes, it's also how Koga dealt with his incomplete knowledge of the Niko Style, as there's another technique from the Niko Style that specialize in hardening the fingers.

[@magvs_mæstro216]

Your comment ("anyone who's limbs function properly") alone is encouraging me to create my own style utilizing the limberness that is obtained through yoga

[@KaseySendou]

I actually created a fan-made style that is inspired by not just Niko but IRL arts like Boxing, Muay Thai, Aikido etc. Instead of Niko's 4 katas, there are 12 symbolizing each of the Chinese Zodiac. For example, Rat is Fire's equivalant focusing on movement, Dragon focus on kicks, Boar on punches, Dog on Grappling and so on and so forth.

[@NuevoExistence]

Nobody has "mastered" the Niko style. They have adopted it's general uses.The whole point of the Niko style is that "It is up to you" So it can only be "mastered" individually.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@NuevoExistence wouldn’t that mean that everyone’s mastered it? Like obviously you have to get the fundies down, so Ohma hadn’t really mastered Niko Style as taught by Four until like the tail end of the Annihilation Tourney and Koga only has a partial mastery of what little Ohma’s taught him, but the point at which you can make Niko Style your own and adapt things to your liking rather than trying to do it as taught incorrectly is the moment I’d consider it “mastered”. It’s an interesting thought experiment and one of the reasons that the style is so fun and entertaining to watch in action and growing as an art

[@nicokrasnow1851]

Ohma has perfect mastery of Four's version which is cristalized in him using Demonsbane and currently has also complete mastery of the Advance which he can use strategically in short-time burst to overwhelm his opponents without sacrificing precission and reducing the dangers to his heart.

[@NuevoExistence]

Just rewatch the anime or read the Manga. Niko style cannot be perfected, because it is all.

[@nicokrasnow1851]

@@NuevoExistence it actually can. For example, Ohma was able to cope with the Niko Style lacking in very close range fighting by learning Kure Family Tradition. And he's already going further beyond after being corrected by Shen Wulong and starting training with Kuroki

[@BayushiAramoro]

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@Sonu-9 w comment, it’s certainly one of the most dynamic and fleshed out ones I’ve ever seen and definitely takes a front seat on the plot for Kengan

[@glazcanon8593]

The Niko style isn't just a martial art based on adaptability, but also survivability, the 4 kata's ultimate techniques exemplify this. Niko 4, during one of the flashbacks in Asura, said (I'm paraphrasing here) that the Niko style was designed to be used in nearly any combat encounter, in almost any physical condition. he also mentioned that the ultimate techniques aren't instant win moves, they are designed to help you survive whether you're in peak condition or not. Water Kata's "water mirror", has the application of strangling the opponent with their own arm, however, by 4's own admission, you could perform the technique with your own arm, damaged or not, should the situation call for it. Fire Kata's "shrinking earth" could be used to escape a situation/fight too dangerous or difficult to handle alone, or to close the distance and engage in grappling/striking. Adamantine Kata has "Body Binding," a technique that uses delicate & precise muscle control to use body parts with broken bones. Finally, Redirection Kata has "Marionette", reduceing your movements to their minimum, conserving energy and stamina.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@glazcanon8593 good point, and it makes sense: you can’t adapt a style if it’s practitioners don’t survive lol

[@alienalchemist]

Maybe the truest form of Niko Style is the friends (and enemies) we made along the way.

[@matheusalves5160]

Niko style base and guard reminds me a lot of old boxing stances, specially those before the wide use of gloves and/or before the Marquess of Queensberry rules era. And it makes sense when you analize the philosophy behind these two arts: a few basic rules - bare-knuckle - parry heavy - belt wrestling street self defense style. Which also makes it similar to Muay Thai, Pankration (the real ancient Greek sport, not the modern dojo's style of "Pankration") and the Cai Li Fo Quan family of chinese martial arts, and consequently, Karate and Sanda. It really shows how limited the hunan body is, and how we've been doing pretty much the same thing trying to hurt each other.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@matheusalves5160 that also makes sense considering it’s origins as a street fighting style, it would be more similar to those bare-knuckle style than something like Boxing that uses gloves for defense and allow for full power strikes to hard parts of the body. Very cool observation

[@haddy106]

As a full on Kengan fan the only thing I dislike about the Niko style despite the magic stuff is that in-universe the Water kata was portrayed as the "grappling and body manipulation" form, but in the later parts of the series its mostly just used for impact dispersion by going limp in your muscles

[@ItsJustMarty]

Niko style always struck me as a combination of martial arts concepts that Sandrovich and his collaborators like the most, either for their real world applicability or for the cool factor of their hypothetical abilities, rolled into one. Redirection is basically Aiki, Adamantine kata contains visual similarities to Bajiquan and shares the basic idea of pushing your body all together as one to become difficult to move. Most fighting styles in Kengan can be summed up as "MMA with fewer rules" (so Vale Tudo I guess), and he really likes to demonstrate that with small joint techniques and finger gore. Something that probably comes from a clear fascination with classical jujutsu. All of this seems to be represented in the Niko style. Also the concept behind the Formless style is almost word for word the same as Jeet Kune Do. Even if the end result is visually very different, and we already have a JKD rep in Himuro, I still think Jeet Kune Do and Bruce Lee more generally was an influence on the Formless style. Particularly how it's depicted in a very liquid manner, calling to mind Bruce Lee's most famous quote. "Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. You pour water into a cup it becomes the cup, you pour water into a bottle is becomes the bottle, you pour water into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now that water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend." Considering that, the similarity is a little too strong to be a coincidence. W vid. I only just recently found the free time to finish watching your backlog and I can safely say you're in my top five favorite youtubers now. Really looking forward to the Total Fighting video, especially since I feel Baki's style doesn't get enough attention, with his success often simplified to "Hanma Blood TM" or "because he's the main character".

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@ItsJustMarty wow, thank you! I’ll try to deliver on that Total Fighting video!

[@Thekumasir]

its would be cool to see cosmo learn water kata

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@Thekumasir I dunno, might be redundant seeing as he already has his own grappling style that did well enough against the whole of Niko Style

[@nicokrasnow1851]

Funnily enough, Ohma offered to teach him Niko Style and Cosmo refused. I think he just need to refine Zone and Foresight as he already is a master grappler and a proficient striker

[@vitoralexandre8325]

Also i would like to ask... does Baki style like Jeet Kune Do??? because sure looks like it,the stance,the becoming water thing,the fact that baki loves to take what is usefull from a lot of different martial arts to his kit... and a detail that i notice that a thing no one ever get it... the lighting speed jab from Baki its EXACTLY as the interceptive punch is described from Bruce Lee in The Tao of Jeet Kune Do... and if you read it you are going to see that Bruce Lee describes it as "the fastest move in all off martial arts" which is also how Yujiro describes it... that a good look and you will see what i an talking about

[@Epicthomas1000]

I just love how Niko style is basically what I imagine Jeet Kune Do to be if Bruce Lee ( rest in peace) lived long enough to fully develop the style and add more to it then just strikes. Not to mention that Niko style was basically developed in the same fashion as the old Bruce Lee quote “Take what is useful and discard what doesn’t work” which is what Mukaku basically did. Even funnier is that the Niko Style was developed by Mukaku when he was in the Inside and Himuro Ryo grew up in the Inside and he is a practitioner of Jeet Kune Do which is a sort of roundabout loop of styles and how the Niko style was written and why it is the best simply because it is the most practical. Cheers

[@RedFoxGrappler]

@@Epicthomas1000 I’d think that JKD is closer to MMA than Niko Style myself since the Niko Style is more so about creating new techniques to fill certain roles rather than collecting styles and techniques like JKD or MMA, but it’s very much like a halfway point between the two!

Furthermore, it’s taking techniques from other styles and incorporating them into one’s own style, whereas Niko Style is a martial arts style that has its own techniques that are simply based on or modified from existing martial arts styles. They have their similarities, but for the most part the two arts are diametrically opposed in their ideology

@RedFoxGrappler Yes very similar. Great explanation and reply 💚
