For obvious reasons, this chapter has been split into multiple parts. In addition, the names of the martial arts styles have been changed from their real-world counterparts.
"Konotash" = Shōtōkan Karate
"Timakwo" = Taekwondo
"Goryjun" = Gōjū-Ryū
"Domnal" = Wing Chun

Chapter 8: The Wungkan Path
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/8/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/8/Their-True-Names)
"Wungkan" is the collective name for martial arts in the Redwall's Legacy universe, encompassing Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Filipino martial arts collectively. I created this name from combining the Chinese terms "kungfu", 'wushu", and "quanfu" together.
Due to chapter length, I have split this chapter into two parts. I will be moving scenes that would have been included in this chapter to the next one.
"Kuanzai" - Drunken Boxing
"Ganguen Huk" - Hung Ga Kuen
"Halichit" - Tai Chi
"Tuah Mann" - Muay Thai (mentioned only)
"Shonjin" - Shorinji (mentioned only)
"Ahkdap" - Aikido (mentioned only)
Log-a-Log Tiraqoo's demonstration of Kuanzai with the Eight Warriors is based directly on the Daoist style of Drunken Boxing and the concept of the Eight Drunken Immortals.
DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this chapter are not reflective of those of the author. I do not condone alcohol consumption of any kind in any quantity. Nor do I support or encourage alcoholism. Furthermore, I do not recommend actually being drunk while practicing Drunken Boxing!

Chapter 9: Crouching Squirrel, Hidden Shrew
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/9/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/9/Their-True-Names)
"Tuah Mann" - Muay Thai
"Halichit" - Tai Chi
The title of this chapter is a play on and obvious homage to the 2000 wuxia film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (dir. Ang Lee and starring Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Chow Yun-fat, and Chang Chen). The title itself is based on a Chinese idiom ("暗石疑藏虎，盤根似臥龍", which means "behind the rock in the dark probably hides a tiger, and the coiling giant root resembles a crouching dragon.") which describes a place or situation full of unnoticed masters. Put simply, the meaning of the idiom is to never underestimate anybody.
The dialects that Jared and Madeline Sandeye speak to each other are both real-world Tagalog and Ilokano. Tagalog is an Austronesian language traditionally spoken as the first language of the ethnic Pinoy, or the Filipino people. Ilokano is likewise Austronesian, and spoken primarily as a lingua franca ("common language") by the Igorot people as well as by the native settlers by the Cagayan Valley. This is done intentionally to further solidify the Sandeyes' status as foreigners to Mossflower Woods, as well as to imply that their parents are likely natives of two different regions of the Eastern Islands, as they speak two different dialects. For reading convenience, the foreign words have been marked in italics.
"bunso - A Tagalog honorific of endearment to address the youngest sibling of the family.
"kuya - A Tagolog honorific of endearment to address the older brother.
"manong" - An Ilokano term given to the first-born male in a nuclear family. In this context, Jared is the eldest sibling to Madeline (since the first-born sibling, Edoran Sandeye, is deceased, having been murdered by Deathblade's vermin prior to the events of the fanfiction).
"Naku'po" - A Tagalog exclamation of shock and surprise, similar to saying "Oh, no!" or "Yikes!" in English.
"Hay nako!" - Another Tagalog exclamation, typically meaning "Oh, my goodness!", or to express a sigh.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/10/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/10/Their-True-Names)
Jared's Karate Styles ("Akret Branch")
Shotokan - "Konotash"
Goju-ryu - "Goryjun"
Shito-ryu - "Rtuyoshi"
Kyokushin - "Hoskinyuk"
Tagalog to English:
"kras" - "crush", as in romantic infatuation
"Nakahanda!" - "Ready!"
"kapatid" - the Tagalog word for sibling
"Naimbag a gasat kenka!" is a Ilokano way of saying "Good luck!"
Jacob's flashbacks to Dallas Irontail's wrestling match with a large Toad refer to a roleplay on The Grand Redwall RP Discord server.

Chapter 12: Masters & Apprentices: Greatest Hits
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/12/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/12/Their-True-Names)
Jared Sandeye explains to Larina Skyleaf that the Akret Branch has a fifth style named "Hayisōkū". This is in reference to Yoshukai Karate, a separate style from Chito-ryu. The three kanji, or Japanese symbols, that make of Yoshukai translate to "Training Hall of Continued Improvement" (called "the School of the Ever-Evolving" in-universe). The standardized English translation is "Striving for Excellence" (called "the Ascension to Brilliance" in-universe). The other four styles of the Akret Branch (based on Karate–dō, meaning "Way of the Empty Hand" in Japanese) are Kōnōtash (Shotokan), Hoskinyuk (Kyokushin), Gōryjūn (Gōjū-ryū), and Rtuyoshi (Shito-ryu).
Tipuka's "Ganguen Huk" techniques are references to actual moves and styles in the real-world Hung Ga Kuen style. Their names have been changed to fit within Redwall's worldbuilding.
"Taming the Wolverine in Ganguen Huk" - Gung Ji Fuk Fu Kuen (Taming the Tiger in Hung Ga Pattern)
"Wolverine and Heron Twin Figure Fist" - Tiger and Crane (Two) Twin Shape Fist
"Unshadowed kick" - Shadowless kick
The Five Elements
"Gilded Bridge Divided" - Gold Bridge Divides (fun gum kiu)
"Clenching Wood Clutch" - Squeezing Wood Punch (Ghat mok choy)
"Pushing Water Waves" - Water Wave Punch (soy long pow choy)
"Fire Arrow Strike" - Fire Arrow Punch (faw gin choy)
"Plum Blossom Fist" is a preliminary form of Hung Ga. The in-universe technical name is "Miszukhean", referencing the real-world name for the form, Meihuaquan.
The "Twelve Bridging Paws" are directly inspired by the Twelve Bridge Hands of Hung Ga, and are somewhat identical copies of the techniques.
"The legendary Ganguen Huk master Zackary Reones Bayot" is a reference to famed Chinese martial artist Wong Fei-hung. It was said that the Fire Arrow Punch (faw gin choy) and the shadowless kick were among his favorite and most famous techniques.
The "Bayot Family Style" is based on the "Lau Family Fist". This is a fist set originally from the "Mok Gar" style, and it was incorporated into the Hung Ga Kuen system by grandmaster Lam Cho.
The Githinsteel rings that Tipuka wears on his wrists for the fight are based on iron rings that Hung Ga Kuen practitioners wear during training and combat to increase their strength and endurance, as well as to provide defense.
There are more Hung Ga Kuen techniques beyond what Tipuka showed and used against Jared in their exhibition match. However, the combatants were limited by the two minute timeframe of their fight.
---------------------------------------------------------
Antonius' Halichit (Tai Chi) sword is called a "Naijiat". It is based on the real-world Chinese double-edged sword Jian. In his ambush by Nagrig Deathblade, Antonius uses the "32 Sword Form", or Yang Taiji Jian.
"Wolverine Holds Head" - Tiger Holding Head
"Wild Horse Leaps Over Matutinao River" - Wild Horse Leaping Over Creek
"Monitor Lizard Contemplates the Moon" - Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon
Matutinao River is a river located in Badian, Cebu Island, Philippines, and is considered to be the cleanest river in the country. Since Halichit is said to have originated in the Eastern Island of Eseltharis, it is safe to assume that the island is based on the real-world Filipino province of Cebu.
"4 Tails can Move a Thousand Pounds" is based on the Tai Chi phrase "4 ounces can move a thousand pounds", which refers to a very skillful deflection.
Nagrig Deathblade's technique used to disarm and incapacitate Antonius is based on the Snake form of Shaolin Kempo Karate.

Chapter 13: The Scornful Tyrant's Might
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/13/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/13/Their-True-Names)
Nagrig Deathblade: Lonxai (Snake Style Kung Fu). Nagrig name-drops the names of various Snakes featured across the Redwall series, including Asmodeus Poisonteeth, Berussca, and Slariss of Volcano Island, among others.
Zakrul Bloodeyes: Shonjin (Shorinji Kempo)
Dragel, chief mercenary of Terramort Isle: Akhdap (Aikido)
Adhuxnuo, helmsbeast of the Scornful Tyrant: Nata Shundua Uft (Choy Li Fut)
Madeline Sandeye: Lunkuthwo (Southern Dragon Kung Fu). Though Madeline's primary style is Tuah Mann (Muay Thai), she picked up learning Southern Dragon to honor hers and Jared's late eldest brother, Edoran, whom Adhuxnuo had murdered some time before the events of the fanfiction. Her style references Slothunog, the water-dragon who inhabited the Deeplough of the Green Isle.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/15/Their-True-Names (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13850809/15/Their-True-Names)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baduanjin_qigong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baduanjin_qigong)
The energy which Jared mentions to Larina, called "Hangaw" (from Filipino meaning "breath") is a natural life energy inherent in all living creatures. The style "Hangaw Daloy" is directly based on Baduanjin Qigong, or the "Eight Section Brocades", one of the most common forms of qigong used as exercise. Think of "Hangaw" as the Redwall's Legacy universe's equivalent of qi/chi energy.
