Heihachi-sc2fix2

Mishima Style Fighting Karate (三島流喧嘩空手 Mishima-ryū Kenka Karate?) is a fighting style that is used by members of the Mishima Clan as well as many other characters in the Tekken series.

Description[]

Real-Life inspirations[]

Despite Mishima Style Fighting Karate being a fictional martial art, its influences do originate from real martial arts. Furthermore, it is curious to note that all Mishima clan members reflect the different styles of Karate.

  • Heihachi's style is heavily influenced by Goju-Ryu Karate, using a lot of low horse, open hand and front stances, chops and hammer fist attacks.
  • Jin (in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament only), and later his Devil form, depicts the art of Shito-Ryu. After Tekken 3 Jin rejects Mishima Karate, learning a new style based on Kyokushin Karate (though it says Traditional Karate in the game).

Practitioners[]

  • Heihachi Mishima - Officially stated in all official profiles from Tekken to Tekken 7[1].
  • Devil Jin - Stated as "unknown" in Tekken 5Tekken 6Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and Tekken 7, Devil Jin fights using an updated version of the mixed Mishima Karate-Kazama Martial Arts practiced by Jin Kazama in Tekken 3.
    • Although he retains almost all of his old moves, some are rough and crude in execution, with a few extra moves based on his demonic powers.
