Hi there folks...I'd like to ask your help on some
translations into Japanese of some "techniques"
I've got planned for a fanfic character, since I
have little knowledge of the Japanese language 
(I actually know only insults and simple things,
mostly from watching Ranma 1/2 :P )
I'd like for some of you on the fanfic list who 
have a better command of Japanese (which would just
about be anyone out there, I think) to translate 
the following technique names into Japanese:
Wolf's Claw Strike
Ascending Wolf Howling
Charging Wolf Howling
and Rising Wolf Claw Slash

Wolf - Ookami
Claw - Tsume
Howling - Tooboe
Rising - joushou
(to) Slash - kiritateru
Ascension - shoten
Rush/Charge - tokkan
Strike (to the body/pressure point) - Atemi


To get the slash/strike you can tack on the typical technique endings
like:
-ken - punch
-satsu - kill
-ha - defeat
-dan - shot (missile attack)
-sho - palm
-sei - strength

Wolf Claw Strike  -> Ookami no Tsume Atemi
Howling Wolf Ascension Defeat -> Tooboe Ookami Shouten-ha
Howling Wolf Charge -> Tooboe ookami tokkan
Rising Wolf Claw  -> Joushou Ookami no Tsume 

Hope this helps
