Jio-Ken

Jio-Ken is a martial art used by Lao G.

Description
Jio-Ken is a martial art style that allows practitioners to utilize strong and speedy attacks such as fists and kicks in their old age. The user's physical body becomes so strong, they aren't affected by physical pain. The user can also utilize qigong to store up their energy from youth for future usage.

Although seemingly for a comedic effect, Lao G can pull his soul back when he was apparently dead from senescence, coming back to life.

Techniques

 * Yotsu no Kamae (腰痛の構え): Lao G takes a stance by bending his knees, leaning forward, and stretching his arms in front of himself while having both of his hand make the shape of the letter G.
 * Me no Tsukare (目の突枯): While in the Lower Back Pain Stance, Lao G jumps forward and strikes his opponents eyes. Me no Tsukare (目の疲れ) means "eyestrain". This technique was first used against Chinjao.
 * Kata Kori (型氷（かたコリ）): While in the Lower Back Pain Stance, Lao G jumps forward and strikes his opponents shoulder. Katakori (肩こり) means "stiff shoulders". This technique was first used against Chinjao.
 * Fushi Bushi no Itami (不死武士の痛巳): While in Yotsu no Kamae, Lao G jumps forward and strikes all of his opponent's joints before landing behind his opponent. Fushibushi no Itami (節々の痛み) means "joint pain". This techniques was first used against Chinjao.
 * Jioken Kyukyoku no Higi: Sento Ho-Ken (地翁拳究極の秘技戦闘保拳):  This technique allows Lao G to conserve his muscle powers from his youth, storing it for future use against any bodily degradation that may otherwise hinder his combat abilities such as injuries, sicknesses, and old age. After activating stored muscle power, Lao G's body enlarges, gaining drastically increased musculature, and releases steam-like smoke from his body. His strength and speed increase dramatically, effectively returning his strength to his prime. He can use new techniques in this form. This technique is very similar with Life Return and Gear Second. Hoken (保険) means insurance.
 * G no Kokuin (Gの刻印): After activating his stored muscle powers, Lao G dashes his enemy with high velocity and punches them with his G-shaped fist. Lao G leaves a G-mark on his enemy. It was first used to defeat Chinjao.

Anime-Only Techniques

 * Hie Sho (冷重衝): While in his Yotsu no Kamae stance, Lao G strikes his opponent's abdomen with both fists, resulting in a powerful impact. This was first used against Chinjao. Hieshō (冷え性) means "sensitivity to cold".


 * Gikkuri Goshi (菊栗腰): While in his Yotsu no Kamae stance, Lao G kicks his opponent's lower back, causing them great pain. This was first used against Chinjao. "Gikkuri Goshi" (ぎっくり腰) means "strained back".


 * Sento Ho-Ken: Manki Kaiyaku (戦闘保拳 満鬼解焼): After activating Sento Ho-Ken, Lao G gathers all of his energy for a final blow, becoming surrounded by an aura of electricity in the process. The impact of the attack was not seen, as Sai interrupted it by kicking Lao G's hand before defeating him with his Kiryu Kirikugi. Manki Kaiyaku (満期解約) refers to cashing in an insurance policy for emergency funds.
