Tekura

The skill of Tekura was perfected centuries ago during the Wars of Succession. It was thought up by the Grandmaster of Flowers of the Sentaari as a means for his guild to fight against Castomira's Royal Elites on Judgement Mountain after they confiscated all of their weapons. The skill involves control of the body to kick, punch, and throw the opponent and is used by those of the monk class.

A person's proficiency in the skill can be noted by the belt that they have attained. To obtain a new belt, a person must first learn the required lessons for that skill level and then master a kata. Upon demonstration of the kata to one three belts higher than them, that person will be awarded a new belt. Below are listed the belts a tekura practitioner may achieve as well as what kata must be demonstrated to obtain it. For reference, the skill ranks and ability are listed alongside the belt to which they correspond.
