Source In ancient times, many members of the Hamon clan were born with an unusual breathing pattern that left them able to channel life energy throughout their body, allowing them to heal each other, reach distant places, and even have their body burn like the sun. Rebelling against their perceived gods, the Hamon clan waged their own war against the Pillar clan, though their eternal nature made the Hamon clan of little note to their enemy. The vast majority of the Hamon clan would eventually be wiped out by only a handful of the Pillar clan in 39 AD. In modern times, any human can train in the art of Hamon should they find one of the few Hamon coaches spread loosely throughout the world. The earliest training a disciple of a Hamon master receives, save for in a handful of very rare scenarios depending on the severity of their situation and the pureness of their heart, is how to generate basic amounts of Hamon, and how to administer it as a remedy to minor injuries. It isn't until they have mastered this, which can take anywhere from weeks to years to their entire life, that they receive combat training.
