Rōga Fū-Fū Ken is a combination martial arts technique used by Yamcha. It is introduced in Dragon Ball chapter 8 which was published in the 1985 #08 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
General Overview
Rōga Fū-Fū Ken is a style of kenpō invented by the desert bandit Yamcha. He moves just like a wolf trying to bite its opponent to death with sharp fangs. It is a rapid-fire attack which uses punches and kicks, letting loose attacks which stress speed, then catching the opponent off guard to smash them with a single powerful, two-handed blow. He first uses this technique to knock out an empty-stomached Goku as he tries to take away his money and capsules.[1]
