'''Nanto Sei Ken''' (南斗聖拳, ''South Dipper Holy Fist'') [[File:Nanto_Sei_ken.jpg|thumb|250px]]

Nanto Seiken is a martial arts style featured in the ''[[Hokuto no Ken]]'' anime/manga series. It is the opposite assassination art to ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'', as their names serve to reflect their contrasting natures (Hokuto is the North Dipper, whereas Nanto is the South). While Hokuto Shinken targets vital points to destroy enemies from within, Nanto Seiken teaches how to kill from the outside. This style not only incorporates weaponry but the more advanced schools allow fighters to kill with their bare hands, ranging from hand-to-hand stabbing techniques to slicing enemies apart with air pressure (pictured right).
