Description: Gentle Way was designed for its simplicity and ability for Iwagakure's military to adopt despite not being Taijutsu professionals. This technique focuses on grapples and redirecting an attacker's energy, utilizing the strength an experienced close-quarters user would have and pin it against them. This would in turn give the weaker opponent an advantage and allow them to either flee to a safer distance or quickly finish off a weakened opponent.
As mentioned, this style revolves around redirecting an attacker's energy into powerful throws or slams. Because of this, the technique is purely defensive in nature. The user gains +1 tier in Coordination when taking control of an opponent or sprawling. When a throw or take-down becomes successful, the user's strength and opponent's strength of the attack are combined to determine impact force. Upon a successful throw or slam the +1 tier in Coordination becomes +1 tier in Strength.
Weaknesses: Due to the defensive nature and dedication this technique takes the user has to remain completely stationary, or in sprawling cases be working around a stationary opponent. In addition, the power is determined of the combined strengths of the user and attacker. This will also only on creatures equal or lower to the user's size.

Description: Being the Taijutsu standard enforced for experienced Taijutsu users and those capable to learn it effectively, Hard-Soft Style is one based around striking primarily with speed and precision first before dedicating a powerful attack when an opening comes within a weakened opponent. This technique revolves around softening up an opponent's defenses using their hands and sometimes legs to execute accurately timed strikes to gradually weaken their opponent before using dedicated leg-only Taijutsu to deliver the powerful kick to cripple their opponent.
The style itself is based around the soft style. When using this Taijutsu the user loses -1 advantage to their Strength and gain +2 advantages to Coordination and +2 advantages to Perception in regards to saves and perceiving your opponent's actions maximizing your ability to land successful attacks.
