ATTITUDE

Style: Jeet Kune Do (Way of the Intercepting Fist) - "Absorb what is useful,
reject what is useless, add what is specifically your own" A style with no
set guidelines, techniques or forms, Jeet Kune Do insted uses all kinds of
methods and techniques from other martial arts to create a new style for use
in combat and self defence. Essentially it is a style that varies with it's
practitioner: Ash's style is taken partly from Wing Chun, Eight Diagram Pole
Fighting and Shotokan Karate. Ash is always eager to learn new techniques to
incorporate into his Jeet Kune Do style.

---

Methods: Most of his art is based around Wing Chun, with various elements of
Karate added in for aggression. He only uses low kicks, fights in close
quaters and prefers to concentrate on his punches and hand techniques. He
looks for an opening in his opponent art, strike hard, and then move on from
there, leaving his opponent without breathing space.

SPECIALS

Advantages

Standard Martial Arts Abilities.

Ash is always looking for techniques to learn to develop his own style of
Jeet Kune Do. Whenever he sees an impressive move, he tries to figure out
how to perform it. Any technique that involves hitting your opponent with
his fists or his feet can be analysed and eventually learned by him.

Disadvantages:

Despite being an expert in Wing Chun and Shotokan Karate, Ash has little
knowledge of chi and the ability to manipulate it. He was taught mainly by
martial arts instructors in leisure centers, and then moved up to a proper
martial arts master. However, it wasn't until he left for Nerima that he
learned of the reality of chi. Hence, none of his current attacks
incorporate it.

Ash has a rather nasty problem of severaly underestimating some of his
opponents, if they looked unassuming enough. To him, most of the feats the
Ranma 1/2 characters, and high-ranked GRITters perform are flights of fancy
you'd see in manga and Hong Kong fantasy swordplay movies. Expect him to get
some initial trouncings because of this.

Techniques

Ash hasn't developed many proper martial arts techniques before coming to
Nerima. He usually depends on just his art to fight his enemies.
