Name : Kiruken (Cutting Fist)
Origins : Created by Kirito Samejima
Characteristics : The style is characterised by a series of slashing movements coupled with piercing like attacks. This, with the addition of causing protrusions of steel spikes and weaponry to emulate the usage of weapons. As it uses blades created around and protruding from the body, this is considered a Bukijutsu and Ninjutsu martial arts style. When extending a strike, the user sends chakra from their extended extremity, forming it into a spike or blade of steel. These are used to slice or pierce in various ways.
History : Kiruken is an external style based on extending the body and long, aggressive techniques that emulate cutting and piercing to drive through the opponent. It was developed by Kirito Samejima while experimenting with mixing his Taijutsu with his Steel Release chakra. He found that he was able to cause steel to form around his arms and legs to form a serrated edge to add cutting power to his strikes. Upon further practice, he was able to form actual blades and even fire kunai and senbon made from his chakra.
