'''Nanto Sei Ken''' (南斗聖拳, ''South Dipper ~~Holly~~ Fist'')

'''Nanto Sei Ken''' (南斗聖拳, ''South Dipper Holy Fist'')

Is a fictional martial arts style featured prominently in the manga/anime series ''[[Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]''. It is the primary rival style of [[Hokuto Shinken|Hokuto Shinken]], the main fighting style of the series, and specializes in destroying the enemy, from the outside, through the use of hand-to-hand stabbing and slicing techniques and oftentimes using air pressure in order to do so without direct contact. In the anime, a light effect is usually added, which may be intended to mean that it uses ki to cut, but this remains ambiguous.

==Nanto Goshasei==

The five guardians of the Last Nanto General are each trained in their own unique fighting styles. With the exception of Juza, who uses a self-taught style, the origins of each of the Goshasei's fighting styles are never fully explained. They are not counted among the 108 sects of Nanto Seiken. However, their techniques can "cut" like the Nanto Technique with the exception of Ocean Style. Hyui and Shuren manipulate wind and flame respectively to slice their opponents, whereas Fudoh fractures his opponents with brute force. Juza's self-taught style focuses on wrestling techniques, contorting and breaking his enemies. In the TV series, Rihaku veritably uses powerful flying kicks and lunges befitting a tidal wave.~~~~
