Gakuran styles are a big part of how your character fights in Roblox Gakuran. Each style changes your combat feel, from basic strikes to grapples, movement-heavy attacks, and pressure-based damage. If you want to win more fights, it helps to know what each style does and which one fits your build.
At launch, Gakuran has eight fighting styles spread across multiple rarities. Some are easy to roll, while others are rare enough that you may spend a while rerolling before you get them. Below, we break down every known style, what it seems best at, and which one stands out as the strongest choice for most players.

Basic
Basic is the starter-style option and the most common roll. It is not flashy, but it still has useful effects.
What it does
- Faster posture regain
- Bonus counterattack damage after a perfect parry
- Chip damage through guard
- Faster heavy attack cooldown
How it plays
Basic is a solid choice if you want something simple and dependable. It seems to work best for shorter builds and players who like direct, steady exchanges rather than elaborate setups.
Karate
Karate is one of the uncommon styles and leans into clean, traditional attacks.
What it does
- Heavy attacks ragdoll enemies
- Perfect parries boost posture regen
- Heavy attacks partially refund posture
- Some bleed damage through guard
How it plays
Karate is functional, but it is often described as one of the more forgettable styles. If you want a style that feels smooth and easy to understand, it can still do the job. If you want a more dynamic option, other styles may feel better.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is one of the strongest uncommon styles and a favorite for aggressive players.
What it does
- Heavy attacks ragdoll enemies
- Every hit deals posture damage
- 30% bleed damage through guard
- 55% chance to clash into a grapple when M1s meet
How it plays
Muay Thai is built for pressure. It rewards players who stay on top of opponents and keep the fight moving. It also appears to work especially well on taller builds, where the animations and reach feel more natural.
Slugger
Slugger is the risky damage style in the uncommon group.
What it does
- 25% more damage dealt
- 10% more damage taken
How it plays
Slugger asks you to trade durability for raw output. That can work if you know how to avoid getting punished, but it can also backfire fast if you play carelessly. It is the kind of style that can feel strong in the right hands but punishing in the wrong ones.
Boxing
Boxing is one of the epic styles and is widely considered one of the strongest choices in Gakuran styles.
What it does
- Heavy attacks have i-frames, so they cannot be interrupted
- Perfect parries reduce heavy attack cooldown
- Chip damage on attacks
- Heavy attack is a two-punch combo
- The first punch cannot be parried; the second can be
How it plays
Boxing is excellent for duels because it forces opponents to guess. The two-hit heavy attack can bait players into reacting too early, and the first punch creates pressure that is hard to ignore. It is also especially strong on short builds, where the style’s pressure game seems to shine.
Hakari
Hakari is the other epic style and focuses on burst damage.
What it does
- Momentum is unique to this style
- After landing a full M1 combo, heavy attack damage triples
- Heavy attack can ragdoll without needing a charge
- Strong animation set
How it plays
Hakari rewards rhythm and timing. If you can land your full basic combo, your follow-up becomes much more threatening. It seems to work best on short and medium builds, and its heavy attack looks versatile enough to be useful in both duels and messier fights.
Capoeira
Capoeira is one of the legendary styles and leans heavily into movement.
What it does
- 5% extra damage on guard break hits
- 25% shorter dash cooldown
- Heavy attack ragdolls enemies
How it plays
Capoeira is more about repositioning than brute force. Its movement tools make it useful for players who like to stay mobile and keep opponents off balance. The ragdoll on heavy attack can help in crowd control, but the short knockdown window makes follow-up combos harder.
Wrestling
Wrestling is the other legendary style and is built around grabs and control.
What it does
- Hyper armor after landing the grab attack
- Grab attack deals 1.5x more damage
- 15% extra damage on guard break hits
- 15% chip damage
- Stuns nearby enemies when you knock someone down
How it plays
Wrestling can be devastating if you land your timing correctly. The grab-based pressure and nearby stun effects make it strong in group fights, and it looks especially good on taller builds. It is less about flashy movement and more about forcing awkward situations for the enemy team.
Kerei
Kerei is the newest style mentioned in recent gameplay coverage and appears to be a hard-hitting option with some limitations.
What it does
- Heavy attack is a headbutt that ragdolls enemies
- Enemies cannot parry for 2 seconds after the hit
- 15% extra total damage below 25% health
- 15% chip damage through guard bleed
How it plays
Kerei looks fun and has strong pressure potential, but it also seems more situational than Wrestling. The heavy attack range is very short, and it does not have hyper armor, so timing matters a lot. Some players may also notice long cooldown behavior, though that could change with updates.

Tips for choosing the right style
A good fighting style is not just about rarity. It should match how you actually fight.
Use short builds if you want:
- Boxing
- Basic
- Hakari
Use taller builds if you want:
- Muay Thai
- Wrestling
- Possibly Capoeira
Choose styles with pressure if you like:
- Constant attacks
- Forcing parries
- Guard chip and posture damage
Choose styles with control if you like:
- Knockdowns
- Grapples
- Disrupting groups of enemies
Should you reroll your current style?
If you already have a style that fits your build and playstyle, you may want to keep it rather than chase a rare roll right away. But if you roll something like Slugger and do not enjoy the risk, a reroll can be worth it.
Because fighting style balance may change after updates, it is always smart to check your current in-game options before committing too hard to a single choice.
Final thoughts
Gakuran styles give the combat system a lot of personality. Some are straightforward, some are flashy, and some are built around very specific strengths.

If you want mobility or grapples, Capoeira and Wrestling offer unique tools that can be fun and effective.
