Twisted Tree Style

Index | Time Under Chaos | Player Characters | Damien | Twisted Tree Style

Internal style of Jade Domain war arts which focuses on twisted postures and hand grips which are said to resemble a gnarled bonsai. It focuses on "death touch" pressure points as well as feigns and deceptions. Training in this style, especially the achingly slow forms, is said to be so physically painful that it prepares the student for not just combat, but death and torture as well. Most human students are forced to retire from study of this style after a decade of intensive training, but Damien has clearly practiced it longer than this.

(Along with Western Fist Martial Arts, this will be worked into a Johann/Damien background story)
