Every Fighting Style in Gakuran, From Basic to Capoeira

Gakuran is a slice-of-life Roblox experience whose community, in the developer’s own words, loves to fight — and the combat side revolves entirely around swappable fighting styles. The latest showcase runs through eight of them in one sitting, folding in the recent reworks and the brand-new legendary addition, so you can see how each one stances up, throws its M1 and M2, and carries itself in a scrap before you spend anything rerolling.

Every Gakuran fighting style in the showcase

That is the full roster the showcase demonstrates, in the order it appears. A handful carry a clear rarity — Basic is the common starter, Karate is uncommon, and both Wrestling and Capoeira sit in the legendary tier. The rest are shown for how they play rather than where they rank, so treat this as a tour of every style, not a locked-in power order.

Changing your fighting style with Robux rerolls

Styles in Gakuran are not unlocked through a quest line — you roll for them. Opening the stats or combat-style menu lets you reroll your fighting style for a random result, and that roll costs Robux each time. It fits the wider game, where even cosmetic tweaks are paid: making your character taller, for example, is a 2 Robux chance.

Community guides commonly list the reroll at 5 Robux per roll, landing you a random style such as Boxing, Muay Thai, or Hikari. Prices in the menu do shift between updates, though, so confirm the current figure in-game before you commit a stack of rolls to chasing one style.

Fighting styles one at a time, in video order

Basic is exactly what it sounds like — the common style everyone starts on. Its M1 string is honest but exploitable, since the block breaks on the third hit, and its toolkit leans on small quality-of-life perks like a little extra damage on your next swing after a perfect block and a chunk of posture regeneration. It works, but the ceiling is low.

Karate is the uncommon step up, and it plays as clean as its stance looks. It is built around sustain: perfect-blocking nudges your posture regeneration up for a few seconds, and landing an M2 refunds a good slice of posture, so it rewards patient, defensive players. The parry is meaty enough to feel genuinely threatening.

Slugger is one of the fresh additions, and it commits hard to raw output. The animations look great and the walk has real weight, but it is noticeably slow — the trade-off for hitting like a truck, and it rolls with an aura on top. Its passive leans all-in, giving more damage out at the cost of taking more damage in, which fits the heavy-swing identity.

Hakari/Hikari is the momentum pick, with a stance that reads as one of the most stylish on the roster. The M1 animation is deliberately loose, and the payoff is a black flash if you land four M1 in a row — feeding into a black-flash M2 alongside a normal M2 for its finishers. Note the spelling: it shows up as Hakari in some places and Hikari in others, so check the exact in-game label before you go hunting for it.

Muay Thai is one of the standout styles and one of the reworked ones. It is built for aggression, with ragdoll-oriented M2s and heavy posture pressure, backed by a high God Pierce that chips through blocks — reported somewhere around 30–35% — and a strong chance to clash into a grapple. The rework keeps it firmly in relentless-pressure territory.

Boxing is the other big rework, and the improvement is obvious across the board. The new stance is a clear upgrade on the old one, the M1 is much cleaner, and the M2 got a real jump in quality — with its passives making those M2s uninterruptible. It reads as one of the more forgiving pressure styles.

Wrestling is a legendary, and its M2 is the highlight: it grabs the opponent and slams them into the ground for roughly 1.5× damage, backed by solid guard-break damage on both M1 and M2. It is the grappler of the set, built around takedowns rather than chip.

Capoeira closes the showcase as the newest legendary style. The M1 looks decent and the M2 is clean, leaning into fluid, evasive movement that makes it a flashy PvP option. Its exact numbers are less nailed-down than the older styles, but its role — stylish, mobile duelist — is clear.

Reworked styles and the new legendary additions

Two of the showcase’s headliners are reworks rather than newcomers. Boxing is the clearest glow-up — the old stance is gone, the M1 flows better, and the M2 is meaningfully stronger, which nudges it toward the top of the pile for newer players who want safe, reliable pressure. Muay Thai was reworked too, keeping its aggressive, ragdoll-heavy identity intact while sharpening it into one of the best-feeling styles to play.

Which style to reroll for by playstyle

These are early impressions and playstyle fits rather than a hard ranking, so lean on what you actually enjoy pressing. If you want a dependable, low-maintenance style, Karate‘s sustain and Boxing‘s safer pressure are the easy recommendations, while Basic is the one style most players agree you should roll away from as soon as you can. For aggression, Muay Thai and Slugger hit hardest — just remember Slugger’s all-in trade means you take more damage while you dish it out, so over-extending punishes you fast.

Checking style details in-game after updates

Gakuran updates often — the Roblox page was last updated July 7, 2026 — and combat data shifts with it. Exact passives, reroll prices, and even a style’s spelling can change between patches, so treat the numbers here as your starting map, then open the in-game menus and confirm the current values before you commit Robux to a roll.
