The Spirit Boxing Federation (SBF) was created not so long ago as the discovery and proper classification of Fighting Spirit as well the techniques to refine it from raw Spiritual Energy. The SBF was founded by Magnus Von Panzer, sometimes called Magni, a German soldier in the WWI that discovered the Fighting Spirit upon dire situations. He studied this technique and travelled to the East, finding about the masters of the Inner World, capable of similar or even greater feats with Kiai. He learned what he could yet he noticed the crucial difference between both energies, the Kiai comes from steady training and meditation, meaning is built upon the balance between physical and spiritual energy of the user, the Fighting Spirit (Originally called Kampfgeist by Magnus) is fed by the user resolve and determination, feeding from his desire to fight or another desire such as blood thirst, power or pure and unaltered emotions like hatred or rage. Mostly negative or not quite positive emotions are what feed the Fighting Spirit. Magnus started looking for other prospective fighters and he started a journey around the world identifying other Spirit Boxers that suddenly started to pop up.
With the WWII starting the count of Spirit Boxers was at least 50 all over the world, and a dozen or more potential candidates. During the war some of the Boxer participated in each side and some of the first duels started in the battlegrounds all over the world. The duels before this had some rules or gentlemanly rules, but after a taste of the excitement of no-holds-barred matches the Spirit Boxers duels changed into what we know in modern times, fighting until one breaks, drops, surrenders or dies. Magnus, now an old man (circa 1950) decided to create an official association to rank the fighters. The SBF was born and the 100 position ranking was established, yet until the 70’s the ranking was never completely full. The SBF have 5 rules.
• Fight with all your might
• If you defeat an opponent higher ranked that you, you climb one rank he lowers to your rank
• Never surrender, anybody that surrenders or throws a match he will be pushed a rank under
• To enter the 10-1 Ranking you need to complete your Winning Combination
• You can’t use another Boxer Official Winning Combination Technique in your own Winning Combination.
Apart from that five rules, the fights lack any control and a lot of great fighters ended up dying, as a lot of no names that barely started also did when trying to bite more than what they could chew. The Spirit Boxers can be separated into 5 categories:
- Strength Boxers, that usually manifest their Spirit as a wind around them and can hit harder than the other
- Speed Boxers manifest the Fighting Spirit like Lighting and focus on defensive offensive combat dodging every attack and raining hits against the enemy.
- The Durability Boxers show their Spirit as a Thick layer over their bodies and can take more punishment than the most
- Technique Boxers demonstrate their Spirit like water flowing around them and place the technical aspects of fighting over anything else, mostly focusing on counters.
- Guts Boxers, like Gen, are covered in flames of Fighting Spirit and usually tend to have a balanced out skillset yet they excel with the use of Fighting Spirit.
All of the Spirit Boxers must complete their Winning Combination during their careers, a special Fighting Spirit Technique for every basic Boxing movement. In addition to that all the Boxers possess what is called a Sunday Punch, a signature technique that most of the times tends to be their finishing blow in a fight. Most of the High Ranked Spirit Boxer gained their nicknames from their Sunday Punch, like Quan the Silent, capable of a hyper-fast, invisible straight known as the Silent Fist, that can’t be heard or felt coming by the opponent.
