--This guide was written because there is no good English list of the martial
arts moves in this game. The lists are 100% accurate as far as I know. It is
very likely that I don't have every possible follow-up though.

--As far as using this guide, my direction are simple, but below is a key
anyway, because certain things about them may not be so obvious.
> Forward
< Back
A Kick
X Punch
B Throw
Y Guard/Evade
L Run
+ Means they are pressed together, (eg. X+A) there is an implied +
between the last step and a command (eg. < > X; > and X are pressed
at the same time)
() I put these around L to indicate that the button is held down
[] I rarely use these, they indicate a possible follow up move
, Instead of commas I use single spaces, it looks more orderly
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-- There are fifty moves, but four old ones are replaced so the list only has
fourty-six moves.
** Indicates that that move replaced an old one
NOTE1 In the game, moves aren't categorized by Punches, Kicks, Strong,
Running, Evasive, or Counter like they are here; they are all crammed
into three categories: Hand Moves, Leg Moves, or Throw Moves.
NOTE2 If you can't do a follow up or a move just seems to suck, try raising
the move to the moderate level.

NOTE1 This list is now shown as it appears when you start a new game. (As of
v1.3 of this document) Right to left on the move scroll in the game, is
the same as going from top to bottom on this list.
NOTE2 If a move doesn't have a button input shown, then you need to either do
the move, or wait until Ryo learns it. (Set training at night to Learn
All Moves Equally and he'll learn them after a few nights) Here are the
button inputs for the six unlearned hand and leg moves:
Sleeve Strike > < X
Rain Thrust < > X
Thunder Kick > < A
Hold Against Leg < > A
Brutal Tiger > < X+A
Dark Moon < > X+A
As far as the throw moves go, the only way to learn them it to wait
until Ryo learns them after a few nights sleep. VERY rarely you might
learn them in a fight or sparring match by performing them on an
opponent, so here they are:
Shoulder Buster > < B (in front of opponent)
Tengu Drop < > B (in front of opponent)
Tiger Knuckle X
Elbow Slam > X
Twist Knuckle < X
Elbow Assault > > X
Upper Knuckle < < X
