Martial Arts Tea Ceremony is an ancient fighting style. The basis of this style stems from the seiza position one adopts when performing the Japanese tea ceremony, and it is considered highly improper to leave it. The combatants must move and fight entirely from the seiza position. As a consequence, practitioners develop very strong toes, allowing them to push along the ground at considerable speed and even jump from place to place through toe-power alone. The style is one of those to appear that does not involve direct hand to hand combat and uses its own specific weaponry. This takes the form of tea ceremony tools and implements adapted to combat use, from poisonous herbal teas to using spoons as throwing darts or ladles as bludgeoning weapons.

  • Martial Arts Tea Ceremony is an ancient fighting style. The basis of this style stems from the seiza position one adopts when performing the Japanese tea ceremony, and it is considered highly improper to leave it.

Martial Arts Tea Ceremony is more fleshed out in the anime version of Ranma ½, with four full-length episodes dedicated to it, whereas it appeared in only one story in the early manga. Because of this, the anime also presents the nature of the style in a different fashion to the manga.
