Nanto Ho-oh Ken

(南斗鳳凰拳, South Dipper Fenghuang Phoenix Fist): the ultimate form of Nanto Seiken represented by its successor, Souther, as head of the Nanto Rokusei Ken (Six Sacred Fists of Nanto). This freeform style typically has no stances and instead focuses on incredible speed and power. However, there is one stance which is only reserved for when facing a worthy opponent - Tenshō Jūji Hō (天翔十字鳳, Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix).

Similar to Hokuto Shinken, this style is taught in the ways of Isshi Sōden (一子相伝), meaning there can be only one master and one successor. The student must kill his master in order to complete his training.
