Drunken Fist (酔拳, Suiken)^[3] is a technique used by Master Roshi.

Overview[]

A fighting style that imitates the movements of a drunk person.

Usage[]

Drunken Fist! — Jackie Chun using the Drunken Fist

Jackie Chun uses it against Goku in the final of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. Using this style, he is able to emulate a set of unpredictable movements. Goku responds by using his own Crazy Fist attacks. When Yamcha reveals the name of the technique, Goku says that the Drunken Fist is one of his grandfather's special techniques.

Jiya instinctively uses it against Steth (possessing Vamp) when his suit was powered by Kaede's alcohol instead of the usual water.

Video Game Appearances[]

In the Butōden series, it is named Drunken Turtle Dance.

In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, it is Roshi's grapple throw.

Trivia[]

The name and actions of the technique mimic that of drunken boxing, a real-life style of fighting that was made famous by Jackie Chan (in the film Drunken Master), who is in turn the real-life counterpart of Jackie Chun and the reference behind his name.
