What are the techniques/fighting styles displayed in Bleach?


In the series, a number of different styles are shown among the different
characters. Some fight using their Zanpakutō, others use Kidō. Do all of these
derived from a similar source? Are there other fighting styles? Can they be
combine?




There are four fighting styles a Shinigami uses are:

  1. [Zanjutsu](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Zanjutsu) (Weapon arts) -- The art of using their weapon to it's full potential.

  2. [Hakuda](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hakuda) (Martial arts) -- The art of physical power and melee fighting skills.

  3. [Hohou](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hoh%C5%8D) (Movement arts) -- The art of moving, dodging, and countering.

  4. [Kidou](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Kid%C5%8D) (Magic arts) -- The art of using spells and magic.

They are often used in combination with one another in battle.
