	{{Audio\|Hokutoshinken.ogg\|'''Hokuto Shin Ken'''}} (北斗神拳 ''North Dipper God Fist'') is an ancient Chinese martial art, dating back 1800 years to the [[Land of Asura]]. Its founder was [[Shuken]] of the ancient "Hokuto Sōke" ruling line, who combined his [[Hokuto Sōke no Ken]] and [[Seito Gek Ken]] to create Hokuto Shin Ken. This martial art makes use of the opponents' 708 [[Keiraku Hikō]], also known as tsubo or pressure points. These pressure points destroy the enemy from within. The Hikō can also be used to heal. While a normal fighter uses 30% of his natural abilities, a Hokuto Shin Ken successor knows how to utilize his remaining 70%. Hokuto Shin Ken follows the [[Isshi Sōden]] tradition: it can only be passed down from one father to one son, and there can only be one successor at a time. Sons that do not succeed in becoming successor must never practice the art again, or risk having their memories erased and fists shattered. The ultimate Hokuto Shin Ken attack is the [[Musō Tensei]], which can only be performed by one who completely understands sadness.		{{Audio\|Hokutoshinken.ogg\|'''Hokuto Shin Ken'''}} (北斗神拳 ''[[wikipedia:Big Dipper\|North Dipper]] [[wikipedia:Shen (Chinese religion)\|God]] Fist'') is an ancient Chinese martial art, dating back 1800 years to the [[Land of Asura]].
