Yoyodo - Way of the Dragon's Tongue

Yoyodo is an ancient and venerable martial art style (well, depending on who you ask) that focuses on a flexible and fast style of combat utilizing the combat yo-yo, or as it is called in yoyodo, the Dragon's Tongue.

Yoyodo is supposedly so powerful that its practicioners (the handful of them that there are) are urged to not publicize their victories, a tactic that has kept the style shrouded in the mists of history. The secret family history of [insert character's family name here] records one of the first masters of yoyodo as actually having fought Musashi to a standstill. The yoyodo master did not want to draw the attention of those who would seek to duel one who was the equal of Musashi, and Musashi did not want the stain of a draw upon his record, so the duel was kept secret (or so they say).

The only known practioners are [character's grandfather] and [character], who train at the small ancestral dojo and shrine (which supposedly houses the first and most powerful combat yo-yo used in yoyodo, the Heavenly Fire Dragon's Tongue) in [city]. There is a legend that there was another Dragon's Tongue made along with Heavenly Fire, the Earthen Wrath Dragon's Tongue, but not much more than that it had existed is known.

The construction of a Dragon's Tongue is a highly guarded (no one really cares to ask) secret kept within the family. It involves a mastery of carving, the creation and aligning of sacred ofuda to be placed within, the forging of the axle, and the making of the string. A process of meditation and craftsmanship.

Yoyodo utilizes a variety of lashing and sweeping strikes with a Dragon's Tongue, with a focus on being able to control the Dragon's Tongue as it wraps around an opponent's defenses to strike, disarm, trip or entangle them (the fine art of smacking someone with a yo-yo and having the yo-yo still come back and possibly not injure the wielder in the process). Masters of the style are capable of wielding two Dragon Tongues at the same time, able to strike multiple targets. Through secret techniques, a master can also change the alignment of the ofuda within the Dragon's Tongue to change the properties it possesses.
