The Iron Fists of Ta’Kio was the most legendary fighting style of the postmodern world. It was also the most dangerous. Because of it, decorated Martial Artist Yoshino Akira, walked away from the National Martial Arts Association on the brink of winning his sixth title. He retired and, oddly enough, took his talents to the arena of government. Twenty years later, Yoshino’s grandson, Katsuma— a self-proclaimed martial artist, has one goal: to revive the legendary Ta’Kio fighting technique. But the truth of the matter is, well, let’s just say Katsuma is better at the idea of martial arts than the actual practice. His signature moves are charging in headfirst, and when that fails, retreating to fight another day. Everything changed one summer evening during an unexpected run-in with the Mountain Raiders—local bandits who pride themselves on preying upon the weak. While fleeing for his life, Katsuma stumbles upon a hidden shrine, where he inherits a mysterious orb—one that could be the key to elevating Ta’Kio to the forefront of the martial arts world… or so he hopes!
