Otu kæɲi Thylasalha

It is called the Guarded Path, or "Otu kæɲi Thylasalha". The Path that one walks and uses to guard against enemies that might cause. The Martial Art of the Nation found its beginnings supposedly thousands of years ago under the tutelage of the woman known as "High Fall", one of the three daughters of First Chieftain.

The actual Art would not fully evolve for centuries until the modern day. A mixing of early Amazon teachings and influenced by other combat forms, Otu kæɲi Thylasalha, is focused upon two key ideasl. The Defense of the user and the removal of threats to the user. Adopting similar punches and kicks used in Thai Kick Boxing, Otu kæɲi Thylasalha uses the joints as extra points of pressure to deliver harsh strong jabs to weak areas. The primary weapon of this format is the Tonfa. Usually the weapon is held at the side so that the user is free to punch at the open with quick light strikes. If necessary the bladed end of the tonfa can then be used to slash the opponent or provide a hard block to an oncoming punch or swipe.

The other aspect of the martial form us the usage of body pinning and minor locks to disable an opponent. This evolved out of Greek wrestling brought to the Nation via liason with Sparta during the era of the Delian League. For years the Amazones taught this art to their sons and daughters and it was nearly lost after the Roman invasion. In modern times, many young Amazones are taught the art as part of their heritage and as a method of self defense. Some outside the nation have learned it, but teaching Otu kæɲi Thylasalha to outsiders is considered very disrespectful if the teacher did not gain permission from their Ozikon.
