The skill of Tekura was perfected centuries ago during the Wars of Succession. It was devised by the Sentaari Grandmaster of Flowers as a means for his Guild to fight against Castomira's Royal Elites on Judgement Mountain following their confiscation all of the monks' weapons. Tekura involves control of the body to kick, punch, and throw the opponent, and it is practised solely by members of the Monk class.
An adventurer's proficiency in Tekura is measured by the belt colour he or she has attained. To obtain a new belt, the martial artist must first learn the required lessons for that skill rank and then master the appropriate kata. Upon successful demonstration of the kata to a monk ranked at least three belts higher than the performer, 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 abilities are listed alongside the belt colour to which they correspond.
Tekura users may purchase special armbands of the Fist artefacts, which allow them to hit more often.
