Canon Taijutsu
Name: 16-Hit Combo
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: CQC
Description: This technique requires the setup of getting in close on an opponent and grabbing them by the collar or clothing. Once this is accomplished, the user follows up with a barrage of strikes that add up to the number sixteen: The user opens with an open hand slap, followed by a returning back hand slap, followed by another open hand slap and returning back hand slap. Once contact is made with the back hand slap, the user releases their grip on the opponent and performs a jumping side kick, followed by a falling spin kick. Upon landing, the user performs a spinning sweep kick, and uses that momentum to perform a standing step kick. The user then performs four hooking punches to the midsection, starting with the left arm and alternating to the right, then back to the left and altering to the right once more. The user then performs a spinning axe kick to the opponent’s head, a short-hopping side kick to the solar plexus, a rising heel kick to the chin, and ends with a rising straight punch to the solar plexus.
This technique is considered to be sixteen individual attacks.

Kona-Approved Taijutsu
Name: Sudden Spinning Elbow Strike
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: CQC
Description: After leaping into the air and spinning twice, Kona appears to move her body to go for a kick aimed at the opponent’s face. However, instead of doing so, she shifts her weight so that she begins to drops faster and delivers and elbow strike right in the crevice of the neck and shoulder. When striking with the elbow, she tightens the hand of the striking arm into a fist and abruptly slams the open palm of the other hand into the fist, in an attempt to apply more force to the elbow strike.
Since this technique is striking a more vulnerable area, and with such force and has lured the opponent into a false sense of security, if successful, this technique treats the user as if they had 10 more Strength than their current amount

Name: You’ll Knee’d Heeling
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: CQC
Description: After getting her opponent either very close in a contest of strength or trapping them in a grapple, Kona then delivers a strike with a knee to their lower jaw right behind the chin. While they are stunned from that strike, Kona places her hands on the opponent’s shoulders and pushes herself up and them down. She uses this momentum to roll forward in the air and strike their now-exposed back of their neck with her heel. From this position, she is open for either further attempted attacks or setup due to having the opponent in a very disadvantageous position.
Since this technique strikes the opponent in two vulnerable areas, if successful, this technique treats the user as if they had 10 more Strength than their current amount and is considered two separate attacks. In addition, any attacks that successfully hit the opponent after this one within the same post treat the user as if they had 10 more Strength.

Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: CQC
Description: Kona came up with this technique to handle bigger guys that she might not be able to take down normally. First she wraps one arm around opponent's neck, with the opponent's throat fitting in her elbow. She then takes the hand of the arm that’s around their neck and grasps the bicep of her other arm. She places her free hand behind her opponent's head and pushes their head forward. Then she brings her elbows together so that pressure from the biceps and radius bone is applied to the neck on both sides.
