In addition to gatka (mentioned earlier in the thread), styles of interest to me would include bartitsu and pankration, Filipino martial arts (such as panununtukan, eskrima, and sikaran), plus (since the Bangkok book exists), styles players could encounter in SEA such as silat, pradal serey, l'bokator, lethwei, naban, and bando.

I kept a spreadsheet with my math, so I could analyze proposed changes to the values.

Interesingly we must think on the same lines as the first three are already added.

When you get ready to release the new document, I have a pair of possible revisions that I noticed. First, Muay Thai only has a "3" under kick rather than "+3". It's clear what it should be if one is familiar with Muay Thai, but it doesn't hurt to fix it. Second, and this may be a difference between dialects that I'm not familiar with, but I've always seen "headbutt" with two t's, whereas the document has "headbut".

Finally, I thought of another style to add - Wushu would be useful since it's the culturally approved form of martial arts in the PRC. Possibly some of the other 20th-century Chinese styles like Hung Ga or Eagle Claw would find use in campaigns as well.

Thanks, will change.
