The Otkhikhmali Style(Akannite: ოთხიხმალი ფორმა; Otkhikhmali Porma) is one of the forms of K'vari Khmali Combat, it was formulated near the end Second Generation Maradisoba by the Prophet Callistratus. It is unique as it relies solely on the Akannite Shinagani Mshvidoba, where four swords, typically Sit'q'vas, were materialized by the the combatant and would float behind the combatant. Use of the swords relied on the motions of the combantant. In order to dodge, the style required the use of levitation. The use of fists and feet, a rarely employed tactic, was encouraged by Otkhikhmali. Otkhikhmali would also require that swords were not materialized until they were to be used, to conserve energy. Otkhikhmali was employed typically by K'vari Councillors for the amount of the energy and mastery required for the style. Defined by its slow but graceful sword attacks, it relied on precision and form over fast-pacing and aggressiveness. Multiple swift attacks at the same time helped shape the form and its optimization in an aggressive environment, as typically many different slow but strong and precise attacks would be used. With the employment of hand-to-hand combat, levitation and sword materialization, Otkhikhmali was considered to be almost strictly defensive style, but has been optimized by several notable users to be aggressive.

Otkhikhmali Style dates back to between the Sphiridonic Era and the Abiatharic Era that was employed by the Prophet Callistratus against the Mepe Sphiridon. It's use was only mentioned within the Prophecy of Callistratus.
