Bosatsuken (菩薩拳, Bosatsuken; literally: "Bodhisattva Fist") is a special fighting technique from the Nadashinkage-ryuu martial art.

Named after the spirit of compassion, the technique involves the user hitting the opponent right when their going to strike; utilizing all of their body and soul to stop them in their tracks.

Description[]

The heart of Bodhisattava is merciful, his decaying punch is alive in the mortal realm. In order to utilize this technique, the user must renounce their defense, neither fearing or hiding from their opponent’s attack. Even before death, they must not flee but instead pray for their attacker with compassion and know when to receive, in their body and soul; This is the spirit of Bodhisattava and the whole philosophy of the technique.

The Fist of Bodhisattva is a desperation technique aimed at the "Suigetsu" (or heart) used to spring up life in the heart in order to kill it. A technique of sacrifice that requires one give up their guard user accumulates strength, by using both arms and the tension of the muscles at their paroxysm. This makes it very difficult to hit the vital point. On top of that, like all techniques that emit energy from the body, the amount of effort required is incalculable. Stretching out your effort leads to the contraction of the muscles, and this contraction diminishes half of your ability to maneuver hitting then just becomes impossible. But even when you’ve given up to your death your spirit will continue on. That is the state of conscience of the Bodhisattva.
