Daijo Nanken

    From Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia | HnKWiki

    Daijō Nanken style

    Daijō Nanken (大乗南拳, Daijō Nanken? "Southern Fist of Mahayana") - The martial art of the Sava Kingdom's royal family. Its successor is the King of Sava, Asam and his three sons: Kai, Bukou and Satora. It is a powerful style which can cut through flesh and bone with a single strike and is one of the few martial arts styles which includes weapons in addition to one's bare fists (as evident by the three brothers' use of swords and mace). According to its legend, when the Daijō Nanken successors are in chaos, the Hokuto Shinken successor will come to establish order.
