Through my extensive research I've discovered that all fighting styles in Kengan can be broken down into 3 main components.
Principles is what all martial arts are derived from, any physical movement is an implementation of principles, although only Shen and those who've "scaled the wall" because of him can truly make use of it.
Jobber hexes and humble boons a mix of psychological warfare and tempering with the fabric of the universe. A mere utterance or simple action can reduce a champion into a tongue lolling punching bag, but most fighters seem unaware of the use of these.
And finally there's the most mysterious of them all, the Premonition. Despite its basic form, Foresight, being incredibly prevalent in the work we've yet to see how powerful the peak of it can be. The only two instances of it occurring in the work at all are Lolong's Premonition, which has yet to reach a conclusion and as such we can't know whether the predicted events can be changed, and Shen's Premonition of Luohan disrespecting Joji. In Shen's case however, we can't know if he saw the event beforehand and prevented it, or if he peered into an alternate universe after the fact and decided to punish Luohan, that villain. With only these two instances of the Premonition it's impossible to definitively say anything about it.
Some might argue that Shen didn't have a Premonition at all, that Luohan unconsciously performs a sort of reverse Premonition on anyone who perceives him, causing them all to see every possible horrible thing he performs in alternate universes, but such propaganda isn't to be trusted. Luohan is hated because he's evil, not because of any sort of curse he was born with.
