This I can agree with. If it comes down to it, finish it fast and with no chance for an opponant to come back on you. Dead or incapacitated. There is no such thing as fair play in a life or death fight.

Krav Maga's excellent for that. Fed marines learn a reasonable smattering thereof, but the full art is something I don't regret taking the time to adapt into what I already knew.

Having graduated from the Ishukone officer program and earned a citizenship within the Caldari State I have, naturally, had some exposure to non-weapons combat training. The specifics of such training, however, are best not to be mentioned in public mediums such as the IGS. And being the original purpose of this topic was to ask if one practiced any form of martial arts, I will refrain from commenting on the nature of my personal security practices (something so many others seem to willingly declare in an easily accessible forum).

If you think you can work out someone's fighting style from a list of the types they've studied, you're going to have a bad day.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Of course not, but having a list certainly narrows it down. Besides, if I was interested in going after any of the previous commentators (I'm not), they would have long been incapacitated or worse before needing to make use of any martial arts.

I was in the Federal Marines, and yeah, there's some of a mix of things. ;)

Oh I didn't forget, trust me. :) I first picked it up from a Feddie before the Big Blame Game and the current war. The details are classified, but I can say that it offered a unique perspective on Federal soldiers.

Which fighting style a person knows is far less important than how well they know it, so narrowing down which style they use is mostly pointless.
