Pure Violence (暴力, Bōryoku, is a wild and unpredictable boxing style used by Bryan Hawk.

Stance[]

Pure Violence Stance

The Pure Violence stance.

Hawk lets both his arms hang from his sides limply as he slouches with his knees bent, with a rhythm of swinging his body side to side. The stance has no guard, however. It allows Hawk to reach his opponents easily. From this stance, Hawk is able to perform sways fluidly and repeatedly, avoiding many blows and counter-attacking with wild swings from unusual directions.

Usage[]

A unique style created by Hawk prior to his boxing career, Pure Violence is what Hawk used to survive the slums of New York City. It was further evolved and refined throughout his career as a boxer. It is claimed to be a form of fighting that cannot be considered a style in boxing, but simply violence.

As an essentially unpredictable and unorthodox style, Pure Violence allows Hawk to throw punches at every possible angle in every position, even whilst bending over backwards. Hawk's flexibility, raw power, natural talent, and boxing sense makes this style a deadly combination with his punches.

Negatively, Pure Violence is a style that defies all pre-existing boxing basics and rules created by a boxer who has no knowledge on the fundamentals of boxing. Therefore, it is easy for a user of this style to fall to an individual with good physical conditioning and honed knowledge on boxing. For example, one is able to identify Hawk's instability during his numerous sways, thus one can step in to knock Hawk off balance, albeit with no significant damage.
