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: This technique is a powerful bind using the user's legs to wrap around the target and using their muscles to constrict the opponent's body. The goal is to put tremendous pressure on a muscle group, in most common cases the abdomen, to lock the muscles from contracting robbing the victim of their control. When locking the attacker from the abdomen this naturally disables their legs leaving them nearly helpless by only leaving their arms free.
This technique increases the user's Strength by +1 tier for the leg bind.
Weaknesses: In order for the technique to be executed properly the user must have equal or greater the victim's strength in order to successfully bind them. Having less strength would allow the victim to break free.

Parent Technique: Shadow Clone Technique
Hand Seals: Clone Seal
Description: This combo attack utilizes the Shadow Clone Technique as its primary function, though can easily be done by multiple people who know this particular combo. The target is sent airborne usually by an upward palm strike to their bottom jaw. The user may then perform the Shadow Clone Technique when the user is stunned if they haven't already. Four clones must be used to execute this combo properly. Upon pursuing the stunned victim airborne the four clones will attack in unison with lateral kicks in a single direction, each kick striking a different location on the victim's body (four locations being: leg, waist, upper torso, and the head.) The different angles, location, and physical finesse of the user makes it almost impossible for a helpless opponent to protect against.
These kicks generate enough force to spin the victim violently. Two of the clones disperse while the remaining two deliver a spinning back kick to the victim's body sending him straight towards the ground. The original user, who anticipates this, prepared a final ax kick maximizing the impact force from the fallen victim.
Each of the Shadow Clone's kick patterns gain +1 tier to their Strength. The user gains +1 tier and +1 advantage to their Strength for the final ax kick.
If more than two of the lateral kicks are successful the victim is spun violently in air, dropping their Perception by -1 tier.
Weaknesses: This technique relies on the user always having the upper hand on the opponent leaving no room to focus on other events around them. The user receives a -2 advantage to their Perception when using this technique. In addition to this the technique suffers the same drawback as the Shadow Clone Technique does due to it being a major part of the technique.
