Bare-Fisted Monk	comment	The Bare-Fisted Monk excels in melee attacks without wielding weapons. Due to the discipline required, this is pretty much exclusively the province of Warrior Monks, sometimes, even those from Western religions. (Ironically, the monks that popular culture usually equates with bare-fisted fightingâ€”those of the Shaolin Templeâ€”also learn to master multiple weapons for holistic development.) Rather than finding flashy new equipment or learning new spells, a Bare Fisted Monk draws on their own strength. Their main advantage is that they can passively keep improving their skills without shelling out cash. Their main disadvantage is that they can't rapidly leapfrog ahead in power by shelling out cash. Bare Fisted Monks are often subject to a unique case of Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards, as they have significant inherent ability but being unable to actually use any weapon-based upgrades gives them unfortunate tendency to fall behind in the endgame. Armor restrictions are also typical. As a result, when everyone else is wielding mighty artifacts of yore, they're still throwing punches. Of course, this is just as frequently averted, especially when Competitive Balance is a concern, typically by giving them access to specialized weapons only they may use, such as a Power Fist, which is a piece of equipment that augments unarmed attacks, letting weapons act as pure Stat Sticks, or granting the monk Next Tier Power Ups such as Ki Manipulation or Magical Martial Arts. In either case, the monk is still extremely likely to display no visible weapons. Sub-Trope of An Adventurer Is You. Super-Trope to Boxing Battler. Contrast with the Heavy Equipment Class, who are defined by the heavier weaponry they use. Much like you can't have a Badass Normal in a world without actual superpowers, this trope is not applicable in settings where everyone fights unarmed, of course — there's nothing surprising about Rocky fighting with bare fists, since... well... that's the point. Also not to be confused with Good Old Fisticuffs, which is when someone with a complete lack of both a polished fighting technique and a weapon on hand defeats people who have one or both.

His natural abilities as a ghoul have been honed to perfection through these teachings, making him one of the most powerful characters in the series. He rarely uses his kagune in battle, instead devastating his opponents with precise strikes with hands and feet. While greatly feared for his strength, he is also noted for being a moderate that avoids needless violence or killing.

She always fights without weapons and only ever uses armour once, when protecting her arms and legs to fight a supernaturally empowered Aizen. Although Soi Fon has basically the same fighting style as Yoruichi, she relies more on her zanpakuto than Yoruichi does. Yoruichi can empower her unarmed combat style with a unique Ki Manipulation called Shunkou to strengthen her physical attacks beyond the physical limit, a technique that Soi Fon can also use.

Her hidden artes use wrist blades, but all her martial arts use her legs. Eizen is more exclusively bare-fisted, utilizing stomps, a few kicks, and mostly bashing things with his fists... because if he uses anything more complicated than brass knuckles, his Reaper's Curse will cause the weapon to fall apart when he tries to swing it.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Brawling is a relatively recent addition to the series, first appearing in Three Houses. All of its associated weapons have a built-in "Brave" effect, meaning that they will always strike twice, or four times, if the user is sufficiently faster than the enemy. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Most Brawling weapons in this game are actually Gauntlets, but there's an ability called "Unarmed Combat", found on Brawler, Grappler, and DLC War Monk/War Cleric classes, which allows characters to fight with their bare fists. The Unarmed "weapon" has zero Weight, making the brawler faster, and has infinite uses in a game with otherwise-Breakable Weapons. In exchange its attack power is based solely on character's Strength, making it far weaker than actual weapons. Raphael canonically follows this class line. Fire Emblem Engage renames Brawling into Body Arts, and revamps all Brawling weapons into scrolls of martial skills. This time around scrolls only hang on user's wast, and all attacks are carried out barehanded. The game's Break system gives brawlers an advantage, because while Swords, Lances, and Axes can be Broken by each other according to the Weapons Triangle, and other weapon types can be Broken by Body Arts, brawlers themselves can't be Broken by normal means. You can't drop your fists, after all. Classes that can use Body Arts include Martial Monk, Martial Master, and High Priest, who all can also use Staves, and provide literal examples. Framme, Jean, and Pandreo all start in classes of this line.

Naturally, such characters use claws to keep up — something hinted at by a character revered for taking down a bear in hand-to-hand combat. Dragon Quest IV: Alena's one of the game's physically oriented fighters, along with Ragnar. She doesn't wield weapons, other than claws, but she hits real hard. Dragon Quest VI has a Martial Artist class (a retranslation of the Fighter class), though in this game weapon and armor selections are not based on class so unarmed combat is not a strict requirement. There's also one in Dragon Quest VII, though it only has a partial effect on what the user can/cannot equip. (Mainly it's used to teach special moves.) All the playable characters in Dragon Quest VIII get an Unarmed skill set, though weapons are generally more useful in most cases. Dragon Quest IX has a Martial Artist class, which has access to the Fisticuffs skill set, which if maxed out increases the amount of damage done while bare-handed. One common way to avoid doing massive damage to your own party when one or more of your characters are confused is to deliberately leave fisticuffs undeveloped and then simply unequip the weapons as necessary.

As shown during her stint as one of the masked men in A's, she fights using unarmed combat exclusively, never using offensive spells even once. Also, all of the fighting until now in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid has been carried out in melee (at most, with magic-augmented melee attacks).

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Virtually all ninja from the series Naruto are trained in unarmed combat, but there are characters that are specialists. Might Guy and his pupil Rock Lee utilize a style that emphasizes incredible speed and power and neither character uses other techniques (Rock Lee being literally unable to), and they don't often use weapons, either. That said, when Guy does bust out his nunchaku, you know shit's getting real. Another set of characters that specialize in unarmed combat are the Hyuuga Clan. They use jyuken, or 'Gentle Fist', which uses energy-based strikes to disable the ninja techniques of the opposition. The Raikage is an atypical example, preferring techniques that enhance his already insane speed and strength while utilizing a professional wrestling-esque martial arts style. Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin utilizes her massive Super-Strength to pummel enemies. Her punches are enough to kill anything that isn't an Edo Tensei immortal zombie, but even Madara was worried about being hit by her.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY Cinder Fall has displayed the ability to fight competently without weapons, such as when she infiltrated Vale's CCT and when she ambushed Amber. However, when she returns to Little Miss to collect the information she's requested, she's forced into a bar brawl. She abstains from using her Maiden powers in public and is thus limited to unarmed combat. The skill that had been previously hinted at is shown in full against her more specialised opponent and shows a full range of abilities that encompass punches, kicks, acrobatics and claw swipes from her Grimm arm. While Ren does use guns for weapons, his first combat sequence has him killing a snake-like Grimm by breaking of it's fang and jamming it into it's eye. Hazel doesn't rely on a weapon for battle, he fights with his fists and arms. Although when he carries Dust crystals that he can stab his arms with to power up, his style changes to lightning-powered bare-fisted blows.

If you learn the "brawler" license ability, the game will calculate damage in line with how Final Fantasy V did it.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV monks return as one of the game's first two melee DPS jobs as an evolution of the pugilist class. Their immediate damage output isn't quite as high as their rivals, but they get a stackable bonus which means the longer they fight, the faster and harder they hit, meaning that if they're played well they become a dancing tornado of destruction, and are perfectly suited for burning down bosses. This is counterbalanced by their lack of utility skills, to the point where despite having the highest damage output for any single class, because it doesn't buff the party's overall damage enough compared to one of its rivals, it's considered suboptimal for high-level content. They also have no ranged attacks to speak of other than a fast-moving shoulder tackle that brings them in to melee distance, making it more difficult to contribute to a fight if the enemies are moving. With the addition of the "Emperor's New Fists" glamour weapon Monks can now appear barefisted in battle.

Although monks equip weapons, it's only for the status they give, since most of their attacks rely on unarmed maneuvers. There are two exceptions: Jab, where the use of the weapon is purely cosmetic, and even then, there is a glyph that makes jab to be always unarmed; and Fist Weapons, which the Monk does wield and use for all of their attacks. No Monk repertoire would be complete without Kenshiro-style Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, a flying kick and a spinning kick!

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: Skyrim does away with both classes (including Monk) and the Hand-to-Hand skill itself. While you can still attack with your fists while unarmed, there is no way to increase your effectiveness, nor are there any weapon perks to help. Instead, you need to build up your Heavy Armor skill until you unlock the "Fists of Steel" perk, which adds your gauntlets' armor rating to the base damage of your punches. If you find the Gloves of the Pugilist item, which has a unique "Fortify Unarmed" enchantment, you can apply it to your own equipment for even more damage. Once you have these boosts, you suddenly go from long, grueling fist fights, to merely counting the seconds before the brutal unarmed kill-animations occur. Khajiit are an excellent candidate for this sort of build. Right at the start of the game, they can actually hit harder than two-handed swords, with 22 base damage. Add Fists of Steel and Fortify Unarmed, they can out-DPS Destruction mages and their proficiency with Sneak can let them close distance and get the drop on enemies.

Eizen is more exclusively bare-fisted, utilizing stomps, a few kicks, and mostly bashing things with his fists... because if he uses anything more complicated than brass knuckles, his Reaper's Curse will cause the weapon to fall apart when he tries to swing it.

Then train them as wrestlers and they will literally scatter limbs and body parts of their enemies across the landscape with their bare hands. Or even better, go on Adventure mode, level up Striker as far as it goes, and see yourself killing bandits by way of punches to the face. Few things are more satisfying than seeing the description of your character punching someone so hard they drive bits of skull through their brains... or, with force transfer mechanics in place, more frequently folding their spines at the neck with a well-timed right hook.

Strangely enough, in a series where Bare Fisted Monks are the norm, Fourth Ranger Gou/RJ is the only ranger to use this style, with the rest having possession of at least one weapon. Other notable users of this style are Rio/Jarrod and Master Sha Fu/Master Mao. Gekifire, the mecha the rangers can use in their Super Mode, is also this trope.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_717c5f25	comment	In Gamaran there are two school of martial arts focused on unarmed fighting: the first is the Kyosen School of the Daimaru clan, which is focused on attacks aimed at severely damaging inner organs with only one blow. However, as the sword-wielding protagonist points out, if their attacks don't connect, they're done for. Much later we see the much more formidable Kiyomori Yamanoue of the Genkon School, nicknamed "Lord of the Doom Fist" and capable of paralyzing peoples with his fingers by hitting the nerves and even rip the heart out of his opponents barehanded. The sequel has two downplayed examples in Kamada (a warrior who fights with unarmed combat but wears metal protections on his arms and legs to enhace his attacks) and Ise Ramon, who actually looks like the typical bonze and is a beast in unarmed Chinese martial arts.

Sawyer of the canceled Van Buren project said that he intended unarmed fighters to be 'like mobile grenades', and that's a good description for them in Fallout 2 and Fallout 3. In both of those, barehanded attacks have a quicker attack rate and markedly higher crit rate. In both of them, a single strike to the head has a good potential for instant kills, even against tougher opponents. In both, the unarmed fighter was somewhat left behind at the finale, against Frank Horrigan in Fallout 2 and during Liberty Prime's march in Fallout 3, but the form is still a viable game-finisher.

Interestingly, said immunity is implemented differently for Balthazar than for the other two, in a way that actually allows bypassing it in the right circumstances and implies it might have something to do with his monk abilities and not just him being a Bhaalspawn. It is an automatic counter-move done in response to Time Stop being cast. As such, if Balthazar is kept from acting, he will not be immune. The Updated Re-release adds the recruitable character Rasaad, a monk from the Sun Soul order who augments his fists and feet with a fiery Kamehame Hadouken and other fire-based abilities.

The original Persona has Reiji Kido (boxing), Persona 2: Innocent Sin has Lisa Silverman (kung fu), Persona 2: Eternal Punishment has Ulala Serizawa (boxing again), Persona 3 has Akihiko Sanada (boxing again), Persona 4 has Chie Satonaka (often called kung fu, but her fighting style carries a lot of traits of Jeet Kune Do), and Persona 5 has Makoto Niijima (aikido, according to the artbook). Among them, interestingly, Akihiko and Makoto are the only ones who received official training for their martial arts, as the former is the captain of his school's boxing team and the latter has self-defense training; the rest either do it informally (you can see Ulala make a cameo boxing at the GOLD Gym in Innocent Sin), or even master it by merely imitating it (an art book mentions that Lisa's talent is imitating Kung Fu).

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series (until Skyrim did away with both classes and the Hand-to-Hand skill), the Monk class is a premade class. Hand-to-Hand is it's primary combat skill, with Blunt Weapon often a secondary skill. By selecting the class, or otherwise developing your Hand-to-Hand skill, you can play as this trope, crossing over with Heroes Fight Barehanded. Throughout the series, Khajiit characters get a natural boost to their Hand-to-Hand skill and/or damage, thanks to their claws. Khajiit, as a race, are known for the Fantastic Fighting Styles they employ in their martial arts. As a result, they make the best candidates for Monk-type builds. Morrowind: A character build in line with the trope can be quite effective. Unencumbered for maximum maneuverability, with high speed no fatigue cost strikes, a monk build could render any opponent useless from fatigue loss in the first second, then take them down at leisure. Their weakness was finishing an opponent due to inability to deal health damage unless the opponent was unconscious, so at times it was a tedious exercise keeping an entire room knocked down while slowly chipping away at their life. Even the Big Bad can be defeated this way. He really is a Physical God with Complete Immortality, so his constantly regenerating health in the final fight makes him impossible to kill. However, you can damage his fatigue with hand-to-hand strikes, rendering him less of a threat while you perform the actions necessary to remove his immortality. Blades Spymaster and initial main quest Quest Giver Caius Cosades fights unarmed and unarmored, and can train you to do so as well. In fact, he is one of the highest level trainers of the Hand to Hand skill in the game. Oblivion makes this character build even more viable, as unarmed attacks now damage both health and fatigue. At skill level 50, Hand-to-Hand attacks can even hurt creatures normally unaffected by standard weapons, such as ghosts. At the master level, Hand-to-Hand blocks can outright disarm opponents. Unfortunately, the damage output of unarmed attacks, even by a maxed-out Hand-to-Hand master, fall far below the damage output of high-end weaponry. Skyrim: Skyrim does away with both classes (including Monk) and the Hand-to-Hand skill itself. While you can still attack with your fists while unarmed, there is no way to increase your effectiveness, nor are there any weapon perks to help. Instead, you need to build up your Heavy Armor skill until you unlock the "Fists of Steel" perk, which adds your gauntlets' armor rating to the base damage of your punches. If you find the Gloves of the Pugilist item, which has a unique "Fortify Unarmed" enchantment, you can apply it to your own equipment for even more damage. Once you have these boosts, you suddenly go from long, grueling fist fights, to merely counting the seconds before the brutal unarmed kill-animations occur. Khajiit are an excellent candidate for this sort of build. Right at the start of the game, they can actually hit harder than two-handed swords, with 22 base damage. Add Fists of Steel and Fortify Unarmed, they can out-DPS Destruction mages and their proficiency with Sneak can let them close distance and get the drop on enemies.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Sanji is the only member of the Straw Hat Pirates who doesn't use any weapons or Devil Fruit powers. Hell, he doesn't even use his hands, he only uses his legs and feet so when he's fighting he doesn't risk injuring his hands, a chef needs his hands to cook after all. He is perfectly capable of using knives to great effect, but refuses to do so because they are for cooking, not combat. He makes one exception when fighting an opponent who uses weaponized noodles (seriously!) in combat. It's revealed later Sanji was actually trained in swordplay by his father, but he still refuses to use one in combat. Given Sanji can break steel swords with his feet, he probably doesnâ€™t need weapons. And then, there's Luffy, who is a unique example. As a Rubber Man thanks to eating the Gum Gum Fruit, he incorporates this ability into his bare-handed fighting style. This in turn allows him to create very unorthodox, yet effective attacks against his opponents. Of course, he does perform punches and kicks, but his ability to stretch gives him far more range in physical combat than many other characters throughout this article. Luffyâ€™s grandpa Garp "the Fist" is also one of the few characters who doesnâ€™t use any weapons at all, just his legendary fists and incredible strength honed through decades of training as a Marine. However unlike his grandson Garp has no Devil Fruit power, which makes him taking on the likes of Shiki (whose a Gravity Master) and countless other superpowered Pirates all the more impressively badass. Then we learn he's a master of Armament Haki, a technique which can be used to negate Devil Fruits. Thus why even Luffy can feel his gramps's punches. Garpâ€™s student Coby fights unarmed and is strong enough to fight Luffy and redirect torpedoes while underwater. All thanks to Garpâ€™s Training from Hell which unlocks his own Haki. Invoked with Fishmen Karate e.g Kuroobi (despite being skilled with swords) used no weapons in the Arlong Park arc had his martial arts empowered while under water though he still lost to the aforementioned Sanji. Jinbei who later joins the crew proves to be a Master of Fish-Man Karate and strong enough to knock back Big Mom herself, he also has plenty of range attacks which is rare for this article. Itâ€™s also revealed Humans can learn Fish-Man Karate as shown with Koala from the Revolutionaries. Vergo is one of the few non-Devil Fruit user villains in the New World that fights entirely with his strength (which is immense) and when he coats his entire body in Haki his foes are in for a world of pain. Vergo only brings out his bamboo stick when shit gets serious, earning him the name Demon bamboo. Excluding his leopard form's claws and teeth, Rob Lucci relies purely on unarmed combat.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_a81325d3	comment	Most of the Final Fantasy games have Monk-type characters, such as Sabin from Final Fantasy VI, Yang from Final Fantasy IV, Tifa from Final Fantasy VII, and Prishe from Final Fantasy XI. Of course, most of these don't go without weapons, per se: they are typically given claws or gloves to help them keep up with more traditionally-armed allies, though in some cases said claws or gloves offer no or very little attack power increase, instead giving other bonuses like elemental properties or a chance of inflicting status effects. The Black Belt/Master of the original Final Fantasy (known as Monk/Super Monk in the original Japanese version). At the maximum level (50, in this case), a Master will, in one attack, do enough damage to kill Chaos, the final boss, twice over. Cast Fast on him, and he'll double that. Final Fantasy II is a strange case. All characters can learn to tear enemies apart with their bare hands by attacking without weapons often enough and fists are one of the faster 'weapons' to Cap if the player focuses on them. Yang's daughter Ursula in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is a monk (though her class is listed as Princess during her debut chapter), but she has different commands from her father aside from the standard "Fight" and "Item", and the traditional Monk move "Kick". The Monk job in Final Fantasy V. Monks can't wield any weapons, but have the Brawl ability, which allows you to do as much damage as an armed fighter with your bare hands (without this ability, the damage you inflict is usually a single digit). Final Fantasy Tactics goes here as well. As with the FFV Monks, the Monks in Tactics fight barehanded but can do just as much, if not more, damage as the armed characters. They also have the "Brawler" support ability which allows non-Monk characters to also fight barehanded and deal comparable damage. And this is a particularly good idea too, as barehanded attacks are potentially some of the most powerful attacks you can put out, with only some of the rare weapons being able to out-pace the damage done by a Monk that's properly equipped with mere store-bought items. Final Fantasy Tactics A2 has the upgrade of the White Monk (which use knuckles and gloves): the Master Monk, which is stronger unarmed than with all except one weapon, but can equip poles to learn some really strong attacks. They can however, wield shields with a special ability, making them insanely hard to hit. At one of the major points of Final Fantasy VIII most of the party is in a high-tech prison with no weapons, they all give up hope until Zell realizes he's the group's martial artist and doesn't need any weapons. He then proceeds to beat the crap out of a couple of guards and get their weapons back. Monks in Final Fantasy XI ditch the weak endgame trend of barefist fighters; they start off with naturally high vitality and HP, getting to the point where they have several hundred more hitpoints than "tank" jobs of their level, and with multiple passive traits and abilities are among the best damage dealing and PvP jobs in the game. Interestingly, Vayne of Final Fantasy XII reveals himself as one, using several of the class's techniques in the first of his final boss forms. If you learn the "brawler" license ability, the game will calculate damage in line with how Final Fantasy V did it. However, it's not the best approach to combat, since you can't equip a shield, bare-fisted fighting means no fancy weapon buffs/elements, and you have to sacrifice your accessory slot to keep up with everyone else. In Final Fantasy XIV monks return as one of the game's first two melee DPS jobs as an evolution of the pugilist class. Their immediate damage output isn't quite as high as their rivals, but they get a stackable bonus which means the longer they fight, the faster and harder they hit, meaning that if they're played well they become a dancing tornado of destruction, and are perfectly suited for burning down bosses. This is counterbalanced by their lack of utility skills, to the point where despite having the highest damage output for any single class, because it doesn't buff the party's overall damage enough compared to one of its rivals, it's considered suboptimal for high-level content. They also have no ranged attacks to speak of other than a fast-moving shoulder tackle that brings them in to melee distance, making it more difficult to contribute to a fight if the enemies are moving. With the addition of the "Emperor's New Fists" glamour weapon Monks can now appear barefisted in battle.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Some warriors and mecha in Super Sentai (and its adaptation Power Rangers) are this. The Kakure Daishogun, being the second Combining Mecha in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, is this. Appeared in Power Rangers as the Ninja Megazord. Dekabreak, the official Sixth Ranger of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger is a user of this style in a police themed series, where almost every other character uses a gun. While this may seem highly impractical, Dekabreak does posses a bracelet that augments his fist with various offensive effects, including the ability to catch bullets out of the air, allowing him to fight on an even level, if not, completely surpass most of the gun wielding enemies. In Power Rangers S.P.D. this character is adapted into the Omega Ranger. Juken Sentai Gekiranger, adapted in the US as Power Rangers Jungle Fury, being based on the Wuxia genre, has so many examples of this type of fighter, that it is almost easier to list the exceptions. Strangely enough, in a series where Bare Fisted Monks are the norm, Fourth Ranger Gou/RJ is the only ranger to use this style, with the rest having possession of at least one weapon. Other notable users of this style are Rio/Jarrod and Master Sha Fu/Master Mao. Gekifire, the mecha the rangers can use in their Super Mode, is also this trope. Two of the extra rangers in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger use no weapons at all in their fighting style. Most notable is Tessai, also known as Kyoryu Grey, who actually is the spirit of an ancient Chinese monk. During the All-Red Ranger Team up in Power Rangers Wild Force, Jason and Tommy are the only Red Rangers seen fighting unarmed in Ranger form. In fact, they have an easier time defeating the villains than the other Red Rangers. During Season 2 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the team relied on their weapons less and less. By the time they acquired their Ninja powers in Season 3, they stopped using their weapons entirely.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_bb931b09	comment	Fire Force: Shinra is an Extremity Extremist who exclusively fights with his legs. Given that his pyrokinetic ability revolves around ejecting flames from his feet, this is more a matter of pragmatism and necessity than choice, but in return he possesses great mobility both on solid ground and in the air. Maki of Company 8 may be a Second Generation pyrokinetic, but because she's a former soldier with military training, she's perfectly capable of folding mooks with her bare hands. Captain Obi and Lieutenant Hinawa, who served with her in the military, can do the same, though Hinawa relies more on his pyrokinetic ability. Obi, being a muggle, relies more on standard issue firefighting gear. Captain Burns of Company 1 fights exclusively with his fists. His particular brand of pyrokinesis enhances his martial prowess by increasing the heat inside his own body, lending devastating power to his punches. Rekka, one of the Lieutenants of Company 1, specializes in fighting people with his fists, with his pyrokinesis increasing the strength of his punches by allowing him to propel them forward or punching fireballs at his target. However as Shinra finds out during their fight, Rekka has a glaring weakness in that he needs to maintain a stable foothold in order to maximize the strength of his punches. Once Shinra kicks him into the air, where he is far more mobile than Rekka, the fight doesn't last much longer. Captain Shinmon Benimaru of Company 7 is already a gifted pyrokinetic, possessing both Second and Third Generation abilities, but he can still take on an entire army of elite assassins with his bare hands. His Lieutenant, Konro, was no slouch in his prime, either. Charon of the White Clad possesses a strong body that allows him to tank most attacks and deal powerful blows and counters. Ogun Montgomery of Company 4 can use his pyrokinesis to perform a technique similar to Captain Burns and tattoo flames across his body to enhance his physical attributes, which complements his martial prowess in combat.

Unless you have the bare-handed fighter Ayla in the party, in which case she can start tearing through bad guys as soon as you get out of your cell. Ayla is notable also because she is an exception to the "weakens by endgame" tendency. At higher levels she can still do more damage with her bare fists than Crono with his Infinity +1 Sword. At level 96+,note Way higher level than you'll ever need to be in order to win the game critical hits with her fists do a guaranteed 9999 damage. Among the cast in Chrono Cross, a few are 'unarmed' in the traditional sense. However, not many of them are actually martial artists. The unarmed (and, in two cases, nonhumanoid) fighters still use 'glove's though.

As with the FFV Monks, the Monks in Tactics fight barehanded but can do just as much, if not more, damage as the armed characters. They also have the "Brawler" support ability which allows non-Monk characters to also fight barehanded and deal comparable damage. And this is a particularly good idea too, as barehanded attacks are potentially some of the most powerful attacks you can put out, with only some of the rare weapons being able to out-pace the damage done by a Monk that's properly equipped with mere store-bought items.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_d4f6f3fb	comment	Captain Falcon and Ganondorf in Super Smash Bros. share a moveset that only utilizes physical attacks. The main difference between them is that Ganondorf is slower and much more powerful while Falcon is the second fastest character in the game. Sonic also takes this approach in Brawl, except weaker and much much faster. Donkey Kong also fits into this trope, as his moveset is all physical attacks, bar his Final Smash in Brawl onwards. Unlike the aforementioned three, he both moves fast and hits hard, making him a Lightning Bruiser. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, one of the three classes of customizable Mii Fighter, the Brawler, fits this mold. They fight almost entirely with their hands and feet, and although they have one projectile option, said projectile is slow and short-ranged, so it's very situational.

He relied on charged-up physical attacks (punches, kicks, etc.) as well as his "Laser Arm" (contrary to the name — and Metal Heroes tradition — it wasn't a Laser Blade; it was simply his arm vibrating at an ultra-high frequency). He didn't have any reservations about using weapons belonging to his opponents, though, or to any nearby objects. This carried over into season 1 of VR Troopers with Ryan Steele; this was subverted in season 2, when the show ran out of Metalder footage and had to switch to footage taken from Space Sheriff Shaider, which gave Ryan a VR Laser Blade and a laser pistol.

Yamcha used to use swords, guns, and explosives but these proved to be ineffective against Goku, especially in the anime, and his Wolf Fang Fist attack, while still being The Worf Barrage, proved more reliable. Goku himself often used the Power Pole when facing armed and or flying enemies until he lost it after having to use it to connect Korin Tower to Kami's Lookout. Future Trunks has initially fought with a sword until it was broken in the initial battle with Androids 17 and 18, and afterwards he switched to fighting with his bare hands like everyone else. Dabura had a hyper space arsenal of swords and spears. Pretty much every other fighter of note just punches things, unless you watched the Non-Serial Movie. Krillin is the only one who fits the "monk" part of the trope, as he shaves his head regularly (to the point Goku thought he was just bald) at least up until the Buu Saga, post marriage and has Moxibustion points on his forehead. Everyone else is just an extreme martial art enthusiast.

When a group of badass hunters display their ability to use garrotes to ensnare and kill their quarry, a Bloodguard examines one of their cords and dismissively snaps it.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_f120845f	comment	One optional skill in Kingdom of Loathing is Kung Fu Hustler. With it, when you fight without a weapon or offhand item, you periodically gain intrinsic buffs. First you get bonus damage equal to three times your level, then 50% additional combat initiatve, spooky damage equal to three times your level, and bonus item drops. If you adventure with a weapon, you lose them all instantly. You also get new barehanded hit and miss messages. There's also an optional challenge path called Way of the Surprising Fist, which restricts the use of weapons or off-hand items and severely reduces meat drops, but allows the player to learn path-specific skills, including the final one that gives passive boosts to damage and damage resistance while unarmed.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has two monsters that fit this trope — Monk Fighter and Master Monk. Both are (inexplicably) Rock-Types, both are seen smashing rocks with their hands (Fighter) and feet (Master), and both come with useful effects — when your Fighter battles, your life points don't feel it, and Master Monk can attack twice. They also get two support cards — Lone Wolf, and Kaminote Blow. Kaminote Blow, in particular, makes it so that, during the turn it's played, any monster attacked by your Monk Fighter or Master Monk will invariably DIE at the end of the battle. This is made sufficiently noteworthy due to the fact that its card picture shows Master Monk shattering the (3000-Defense-to-his-1900-Attack) Millenium Shield with his BARE FIST. Thus securing the Monks a spot on this page.

Bare-Fisted Monk / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes: The Martial Arts powerset exemplifies the superhero version of this trope, and is a favourite for Natural origin characters. Super-Strength is similar, except it has a ranged attack where you rip up a chunk of the ground and throw it. More recently added was "Street Fighting", which contains quite a few more circular motions than more realistic fighting styles, but has a very Mixed Martial Arts look and can be brutal when taking out groups of weaker foes.
