Moto Bushi



The Moto Bushi school has only been teaching in Rokugan for less than a century, but is nevertheless a feared institution. It teaches a fierce unrelenting attack pattern and its complexity means there are few who understand how to defend against it properly. The fighting style originated from the Burning Sands, where the Moto tribesmen faught against all manner of foes. They learned that their best chance for victory was attacking without thought to their safety, and became widely feared. The style is most commonly used with a katana like most schools in Rokugan, but unlike most schools they are not restrictive in only teaching one weapon. The Moto are taught a wide variety of weapons including several with gaijin origin. The Dragon and Lion have the most experience of the Moto fighting style due to the War of the Rich Frog. (3E p. 142)
