DHALSIM

Few know the mysteries of mind, body and spirit so well as Dhalsim, yoga master from India. Dhalsim has nearly perfected his existence and is almost ready to enter a higher state of consciousness, as did his predecessors. But he first needs to perfect himself through, testing his physical power and resolve to their fullest. There is no better place than in the Street Fighter arena.

SCHOOLS

Schools can be found scattered all over the world, but they usually admit only a select few. Kabaddi is one of the more strict and rigid styles. Classes begin with a full hour of meditation. Kabbadi exercices test the limits of even the most dexterous fighters.

FIGHTING STYLE

An art involving physical manipulation of the body, Kabaddi relies on mysticism and extension of kicking and punching ranges. It is a slippery art; its practitioners nimbly avoid blows. A single strike may lack power, but a kabbadi barrage can wear down even the toughest opponent.

APPEARANCE

Dhalsim is a tall and rail-thin man. His skin varies from dusky gray to brown to ebony black depending on his desire. He paints stripes onto his bald head and wears a necklace of skulls said to be taken from former opponents. However, given Dhalsim's nonviolent nature, some other explanation is undoubtedly correct.
