Notes: These are "enhanced", pseudo-mystical versions of the basic martial art in question. Fighting game/wuxia versions of Kung-Fu, Kendo, Krav Maga, etc. The basic styles, one assumes, are much less powerful.

Kung-Fu-A Chinese martial art that has withstood the test of time.
Moves Available:

  • Countermove
  • Iron Hand
  • Iron Shirt
  • Tiger Leap

Shaolin School-The Shaolin School is an "internal" school, generally based on more relaxed, fluid movements.
Additional Moves Available (over Basic Kung-Fu):

  • Iron Soul
  • Flow Like Water
  • Golden Gloves
  • Pressure Points

Wudang School-The Wudang School is based more heavily on aggression and eliminating opponents.
Additional Moves Available (over Basic Kung-Fu):

  • Shattering Glass Blow
  • Pressure Points
  • Fist of the Prophet Star
  • Deadly Whirlwind

Kendo-An ancient Japanese martial art, Kendo is one of a small group of weapons-based martial arts.
Moves Available:

  • Countermove
  • Weapon Style
  • Claws of the Five Dragons
  • Flow Like Water
  • Flow Like Wind

Judo-Japanese Wrestling.
Moves Available:

  • Grappler
  • Joint Lock/Break
  • Countermove
  • Iron Shirt
  • Iron Soul

Fencing-An European equivalent to Kendo, Fencing is based on stabbing/lunging weapons rather than slashing ones, but is similar in that it is one of a comparative few weapons-based styles.
Moves Available:

  • Countermove
  • Weapon Style
  • Golden Gloves
  • Iron Hand
  • Claws of the Five Dragons

Parkour-Not a martial art, but the physical conditioning and training that it forces on traceurs allows them to do what many would believe impossible without magic or cybernetic enhancement.
Moves Available:

  • Freerunning
  • Tiger Leap
  • Flow Like Water
  • Iron Shirt

Basic Military Martial Arts-Without the spiritual trappings of other martial arts, military martial arts are typically based off of killing or incapacitating a foe as quickly as possible. Whether learned from hard-earned experience or lovingly developed by thousands of hours of physiological research they are effective and efficient if lacking in the esoteric abilities others grant. They often focus on brutal force and counterattacking versus the deflection or redirection of attacks.
Moves Available:

  • Grappler
  • Joint Lock
  • Countermove

Commando Martial Arts-Commandoes generally have at least some martial arts training, but a handful of nations go above and beyond in this way. Well-known commando martial arts include Ninjitsu and COMINSTEL's Commando Sambo. All are based on speed, stealth, and violence of action, however.
Additional Moves (Based on Military Martial Arts):

  • Death Grip
  • Pressure Points
  • Freerunning
  • Deadly Whirlwind
