Shukenja

The art of the Shukenja was developed in the lands of Shokono. The people there held a deep devotion to their ancestors and the wisdom that was passed down through the ages. It was believed that a strength could be gained if one could speak to those spirits directly and use their power as his or her own. Through these studies the Shukenja forms were developed and allowed one to combine the power of their ancestors, healing magics and both single and dual wielding weapon techniques.

Who can be a Shukenja?
