DESCRIPTION
Willow has learned how to perform this unique style from having grown up on Outset Island. Thanks to all of the old marines and government agents occasionally showing off their stuff, Willow has learned through example and trial and error. Inspired by the rankyaku, shigan and geppo, meaning that he uses the times he has seen these moves performed to influence the special features of his style. Willow seeks to emulate these with his own twist on them. This style has shown to be quite formidable for Willow to bound around the field like an acrobat.

Rookie Style: Willow can perform basic feats such as going as far as a short dash with a few kicks against the ground, or delivering a swift combination of kicks to send someone away. Most moves are reminiscent of single person performing dance moves on their own in a free stage setting.
Junior Style: At this level, Willow can conduct breezes with his legs and with his hands, having incorporated hand movements in to his style at this point, pushing people just a short distance. He also becomes more coordinated with his attacks. Willow takes inspiration from geppo at this level.
Journeyman Style: At this level, Willow has managed to conduct the wind in arcs similar to a swordsman sending out a slash of wind with their weapon. Learning how to kick off of the air once or twice at this level. While the skill with his arms remains the same, he has takes to using his hands in his pockets and drawing them out for swift punches and occasional swiping motions, or to use as supports for elaborate kick attacks. Willow takes inspiration from rankyaku at this level.
Expert Style: At this level, Willow's control over his style has warranted him the ability to perform an Iai style series of punches, taking his hands from his pockets and getting breezes of wind to follow the motion of his arms before putting his hands back in to his pockets. Willow takes inspiration from shigan at this level (using his iai hand in the pocket technique, which is where the "puts his own twist on them" comes in in case this part wasn't already clear enough for the mod grading this)
Master Style: At this rank, Willow's control over his style has reached its peak. He can kick off of the air freely and move around as if flying. The movements of his body, if given the right force, can send a gust of wind to a specific predetermined location, not control the wind.
