Iron Claw is a taijutsu technique in which the user grabs the opponent by the face and squeezes it with their hand. Most often the technique is used as a crude but effective way to pacify an overreaching ally or to threaten them. In battle, the same grip can also be used to hold the target's head in place. It can also be used on other parts of the body, for example, by grabbing the neck and, with sufficient effort, simply breaking it. But to successfully master the technique, sufficient physical strength is required.
