Storm Fist

Storm Fist (Arashi no ken, 嵐の拳) is the national fighting style of The Croshen Islands. It is a fast and powerful style that is adapted by the various cultures and major families across the islands. Some families prefer unarmed fighting where as others prefer using swords or other weapons, the sole thing they having in comman is the power and common heritage the styles hold.

The style was created long before the World Government was formed by several powerful warriors amoung the Croshen tribes who met in combat and formed a strong brotherhood that promoted honor, loyalty, martial skill and enlightenment. After many years the leader of the group became the first high-king of The Croshenese people and ruled for nearly a hundred years before he died in his sleep. Over the years more kings came and went but the martial art the first king and his friends created stayed and adapted amoung the descendants of the group.
