Description: A martial arts style taught within Konoha to those wanting to be proficient with polearms. The Swift style is unforgiving in its art of taking advantage of openings and quickly dealing out punishment from a distance in a flurry of rapid strikes, fast hand placement, and flawless footwork. The style relies heavily on fluid body transition, graceful acrobatics, and sharp senses to continuously maneuver around opponents and strike from numerous angles, while always keeping their weapon in line to defend.
This style boosts the user's speed by ++ and coordination by +. These boosts can be swapped when on the defensive to block, parry and repel attacks.

Description: A technique of the Swift style, where the user applies both hands to quickly twirl their polearm in a show of proficiency. This is done in a number of ways be it to their right side, left side, or overhead. However, this isn't just a flashy maneuver. Whether stationary or moving this technique is done in preparation to attack as it boosts the user's speed by + for the following attack whilst debuffing the target's perception by -. This technique is often quicky used between attacks and blocks and thus can be kept up in such a way when in close combat.
Weaknesses: The twirl can be interrupted by catching the polearm in some manner to render it unmovable, thus overpowering the wielder. Or clashing with it prematurely to establish a deadlock.

Description: A simple technique. The user proceeds to unleash a flurry of rapid thrusts at their target aiming to either pierce them many times or pummel them in the case of blunt polearms. The onslaught of strikes are delivered with a speed that creates a number of afterimages of the weapon debuffing the target's perception and coordination by a -.

Description: The first big step to working towards the advanced Rend style of the Pole arts. The training for this technique works along the arm muscles to harness them for optimal use. The user brings the polearm to their side and pulls it back bending the elbow and pushing it outward. The wrist is quickly rotated clockwise before in a burst of speed the polearm is jutted forth whilst rotating the wrist counter-clockwise to deliver a deadly strike of force. The process of how the weapon is thrust forward boosts the user's strength by ++ and speed by +.
Weaknesses: The technique leaves a mere moment of time before actually initiating. If the arm holding the weapon is struck at this moment the built up muscle tension acts against the user dropping the strength and coordination in that arm by - for three posts.

Description: A staple technique of the Swift style, the user clashes with the opponent's attack(limbs, projectiles, weapon) in such a way to redirect it off course and away from the user. In the swift style, the practitioner uses their speed and coordination to offset the opposing strength to successfully parry. Thus in the situation of either being higher than the opposing strength tier by more than a +, however, both must be within the same tier or higher as the strength, a parry is possible. If successfully done against a weapon in hand of the opponent, they are thrown off balance. This debuffs their coordination by -. This technique can defend against multiple projectiles, as well as disrupt and end multi-strike techniques as long as one of the strikes is successfully parried.
Weaknesses: If the speed tier of the incoming attack is above the user's own speed by more than a +, this technique would be rendered ineffective.
