Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Miyagi-Do Kata: The foundation of Miyagi-Do Karate. This Kata, is based around the workings of the Bonsai Tree. You start with your fists pointing down to the ground, your roots. Then you move your arms up to your chest and push them outwards, while opening your hands. The palms facing upwards as you do. Representing the branches growing and the leaves blooming. Then you raise your right hand up to your forehead with your left hand pointing downwards. Your body turning and facing right as you do so. Then alternate positions, switching your hands and your stance so you're facing left. Representing the tree growing up and the limbs waving in the wind. Then repeat the pattern until it becomes a natural flow to you.
• Miyagi-Do Pressure Point Attacks: A highly dangerous technique in which one strikes vulnerable nerves on a person's nerves, temporarily paralyzing their limbs. Being a pacifist, Miyagi doesn't use this technique during fights and refused to teach it to Daniel.
