Honed and refined by saiyans over generations, the Way of the Saiyan is about overcoming personal limitations and using one's ki and spirit to reach new heights of power.

Despite advances in their technology, when their back's against a wall, a saiyan's first instincts are to use their fists. The forms and techniques of the way are sharp and minimalist, engineered to channel fight-or-flight instincts into explosive speed and power. The first goal of the training of the way is to draw out those responses, then to sharpen self-awareness and control those responses, and even further beyond to cultivate spiritual awareness and strength.

Never large in numbers, the saiyans nevertheless were fierce warriors, and would often send just a few well-trained monks to face their enemies. Their speed and ferocity were second to none, utilizing their ki for devastating attacks and to soar into position, wreaking havoc with their bare fists. The Way of the Saiyan served to amplify the already enormous fighting spirit of the saiyans, and it helped them to conquer lands far and wide.

At present, it is not just saiyans who follow the way. Worthy warriors of many races now follow it, looking to unlock their hidden potential. While the saiyans were always warlike, the training has been too much for some, shifting their ideals towards tyranny and brutality. Those that do make it through training come out transformed, something new; ready to face any evil, and to test their limits.
