Are the martial art techniques in Kenichi real?


I've been wondering for a while are all the martial arts and martial art
techniques in this series real? I used to be a former karate student, so I do
know that the karate techniques used in the beginning 200~ chapters are legit.

As the series progressed, however, the karate techniques started to become a
lot more complex and I have never even heard of them before.

Then they also started deviating from the standard martial arts and introduced
some like pencak silat (which I never knew existed before).

If there are some fake styles or techniques, which ones are there*?

*Please don't use unreal fights to disprove. For example, when Akisame fought against that other master and they proceeded to counter-throw each others counter-throw, ultimately leaving them suspended in midair for half the chapter. The technique of a counter throw is real, but the manga just used it unrealistically.




Check [this](http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Martial_Arts_Styles) for a list of
the martial arts used in Kenichi.

Some of the martial arts are of course just fictional **or** adapted, like
_Nyakwondo_ (a combination of cat moves and _Tae Kwon Do_ ) and even Furinji's
own style. However, majority of the martial arts in the manga/anime is still
legitimate and--based on personal experience as a former wrestling competitor
in university days--relatively accurate.

Also, I won't rightly consider "fake" some of the variations, as martial arts
in real life are mostly just variation of one another. _Kung Fu_ alone is
credited for inspiring at least a couple of major styles, and die-hard
practitioners and fans alike will call fake on these other inspired arts.
However, I must admit that Kenichi deserves an amazing suspension of disbelief
with some of them.

Also, a bit out-of-topic:
