Martial arts styles are typically developed over decades, even centuries of refinement before they have become what they are in the modern day. But due to being 20 Minutes in the Future or existing in a fantastical setting a fictional style may be devised that has no direct real-life counterpart, though may still take inspiration from others. It could also be just naming something at random and claiming it exists. Sometimes it's to account for the evolution of weaponry or altered physical abilities, such as Multi-Armed and Dangerous, psychic abilities or Charles Atlas Superpower. Also highly likely to run into Artistic License – Martial Arts because it is handled according to what looks good rather than actually plausible. It should be noted too that a number of martial arts forms have been developed because a practitioner found some aspect of their original form lacking and refined some principles to account for that, calling it a new form entirely. So it is not as far-fetched as one might believe at first. See also I Know Kung-Faux and Supernatural Martial Arts. |

The Rihannsu series has llaekh-ae'rl, a Romulan martial art whose name translates as "laughing murder". It requires the practitioner to root themselves to the ground and control their movements. Ael's crew member N'alae is a master but Ael herself isn't—her temper tends to get the better of her. | |

Star Trek: Picard: Although the hand-to-hand combat practiced by the Qowat Milat sisterhood hasn't been named onscreen, it's nevertheless the first time in the franchise that a specific Romulan martial arts is showcased. It's more "fantastic" than that of the Klingons or the Vulcans because the Romulan warrior nuns develop Super-Reflexes during their training that are fast enough dodge multiple energy weapons fire note which is a very rare ability in the Trek Verse because it was only exhibited beforehand by Soong-type androids and Augments. This Amazon Brigade is remarkably adept at wielding a tan qalanq while also utilizing Combat Parkour, Hit-and-Run Tactics and stealth to single-handedly defeat several opponents. This featurette focuses on a Deleted Scene from "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2" where Narek uses a Capoeira-like Romulan martial arts to take on five Soong-type androids. |

Naruto: Killer Bee uses seven swords to attack, without using his hands. There is no such thing as Frog Style Kung Fu either. In it, even punches that miss actually still hit. The Hyuga clan's "Gentle Fist" fighting style involves lightly tapping the opponent in near-microscopic Pressure Points to damage nerves and internal organs. Only the Hyugas can use this style, because those pressure points' locations vary slightly from person to person and thus it requires X-Ray Vision to know where they are. |

Dark Forces Saga consolidated the seven lightsaber forms into three; Fast Style, Medium Style, and Strong Style. Fast was a combination of Soresu and Ataru, a defensive style utilizing the blade held close to the body to more easily deflect shots or launch quick jabs & cuts, while also making use of acrobatic jumps and rolls. Medium was an upgraded form of Shii-Cho with elements of Niman, simple in technique while providing reliable offense and defense. Strong was a combination of Juyo, Shii-Cho, and Makashi and was based primarily on wide, powerful strikes to batter through an opponent's defenses. |

The Kingkiller Chronicle books feature the Ketan, a martial art practiced by the Adem. It seems to be inspired by both Karate (it contains kicks, punches and even chops, and it can be trained solo in a sort of kata system) and Aikido (it includes grappling techniques, most of which seem to be standing armlocks and pain compliance throws, and it also contains swordfighting and a deep philosophical base). It's so effective that a mediocre Adem is a match for three or four professional soldiers. Proficiency in the Ketan is based on understanding of the Lethani, the moral code of Ademre. Adem believe that women are more naturally moral than men and therefore are also better fighters than men. | |

Discworld: Deja-Fu from Thief of Time: The feeling you've been kicked this way before... There's also a string of others of which we learn nothing except their punny names ("No-kandu", "Okidoki", "Upsi-Dasi") and the fact Lu-Tze doesn't take any of them seriously. Sloshi, first mentioned in the Fools' Guild Diary, and later shown in Making Money, is the Fools' martial art, also known as "battle clowning". It's basically slapstick taken to the next level. A Sloshi master can take out a squad of attackers with nothing but a stepladder and a bucket of whitewash, and do horrible (yet somehow hilarious) things with balloon animals. |

However, he doesn't realize that it was developed by a race of Actual Pacifists who intended it to be used for getting berries of a bush without harming the bush itself; whenever he tries to use it for violent purposes, his body spasms and he pulls a muscle, the result of subliminal conditioning in the meditative chants. | |

Katanagatari: The members of the Yasuri clan, absolutely unable to wield a actual katana, use the Kyotoryu technique, a martial art in which the practitioner is considered to be both the swordsman and the katana. It is extremely effective against swordsmasters. It is, in a way, Kiki Shikizaki's final and ultimate Deviant Blade, as a master of Kyotoryu can destroy any of the other Deviant Blades, as Shichika himself does ins his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons has a number, with the most well known one being the Art of Cutting. Meti Ten Ryo was supposedly so good at Cutting that she was able to kill fifteen master swordsmen with a stick, needing nothing more than the sheer will that the opponent be cut in order to cleave them in half, and in the comic itself Mathangi Ten Meti demonstrates this by cutting a bullet in two without even drawing her sword. Also mentioned is an archery style that uses a gigantic bow to make impossibly precise shots from miles away with arrows the size of javelins, a style that involves using magical acupuncture to make one’s own head an indestructible bludgeon, and diverse forms of unarmed Supernatural Martial Arts, colloquially known as “fist arts�. | |

Eon featured several: The Elven Cinneach sword-style involves holding the sword in a backhand grip, and confusing your opponent with series of lightning-quick attacks ended with a heavy "killing blow". The one given most page time was the Dwarven axe/hammer style Zûr-Khan ("Stand Still"), prominently used by fluff character Kharzim clan Ghor. Zûr-Khan involves standing still (ideally, the only movement done should be a step with the first movement, back if it's a parry or forward if it's an attack), and instead relies on parries and attacks with both haft and head of the axe. |

The Asterisk War: Volume 2 (episodes 5-7 of the anime) compare and contrast Ayato's Amagiri Shinmei Style with Kirin's Toudou Style. Amagiri Shinmei is about five hundred years old, dating to the heyday of the samurai in the Sengoku Period, and is noted to be a little bit slower since it's designed with the weight of armor in mind (Kirin recognizes its age because Ayato's stance puts his hips lower). The Toudou school dates to the end of the Edo Period and puts the user in a more upright stance. However, since it's a style developed for the battlefield rather than the dojo, Amagiri Shinmei includes more than just katana moves: Ayato ultimately defeats Kirin by combining katana, spear, kodachi, and hand-to-hand combat. | |

The original films did not have a consistent style between characters, though it was partially inspired by samurai films. Vader himself, after his injuries as Anakin Skywalker, had to modify his style to be wholly unique with a greater focus on force powers, basically his original Form V without any flourishes. Luke Skywalker is mostly self-taught and far more heavy-handed than the more graceful moves seen in the prequel movies. It lacks acrobatics and relies on light footwork and power more than elegance. In The Last Jedi, he demonstrates far more grace and agility, easily evading Kylo Ren's wild attacks, not directly engaging because he's not actually there and just acting as a distraction, suggesting he rediscovered something while training Leia and the others. | |

Choujin Sensen has at least two Experts who are masters of their own unique fighting styles. Ye Hao Yue is a Kung Fu Master who channels the mysterious Dragon Pulse from All-Creation using his "Meiyouken" style to shatter boulders, and Mishima Daigo is a Bare-Fisted Monk that hones both his body and mind through his Buddhist mantras into his signature "Fudoushinjuken" style. | |

Pathfinder: A whole host of "style" feats exist, which range from the mundane, like Monkey Style or Brute Style, to the fantastically inspired, like Dragon Style or Orc Fury Style, to the obviously supernatural, like Maddening Style (which draws inspiration from Eldritch Abominations to drive enemies mad by hitting them) or Marid Style (which generates ice from nowhere to trap its foes). Some of the more obviously supernatural are mostly utilized by the monk, and involve Ki Manipulation. The divine fighting techniques are a number of combat styles named for the deity who created or inspired them, such as Cayden Cailean's Blade and Tankard - going into battle with a rapier in one hand and an ale tankard in the other, throwing it into an enemy's eyes or drinking it yourself, and refilling it mid-battle. The Path of War 3rd party supplement includes a number of "disciplines" with individually named moves, for maximum Combat Commentator potential. Some disciplines are nonmagical, most definitely not; Thrashing Dragon is mostly about using two weapons and dirty fighting, but Elemental Flux focuses on manipulating elemental energy and Veiled Moon involves a lot of teleportation. |

Played with in "From Bajor to the Black, Part II". The Bajoran viewpoint character draws a comparison between the Israeli art Krav Maga, which is part of Starfleet's training regimen, and the Cardassian-derived "military boxing" she learned when she was in the Bajoran Militia. The Wrong Reflection gives the Cardassian name of the art as chakar daran and even shows two practitioners (Eleya, the protagonist, and her mirror universe counterpart) sparring with it. | |

The Stormlight Archive: Wielding a Shardblade in is based around a structure of ten stances, each one a fighting style and combat philosophy named after one of the Ten Essences (Windstance, Smokestance, Flamestance, etc). Shardblades are supernatural light, extremely large, cut through any inorganic material and pass through organic things, killing them instantly, meaning that they require an entirely different set of moves to use effectively. In one specific combat scene, the hero switches from the elegant Windstance he usually favors to the Combat Pragmatist style of Ironstance to deliver a brutal beatdown to remind his fellows that they are in the middle of a war. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: 3.5E's Tome of Battle introduced a series of nine martial disciplines in an effort to offset Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards. Each consists of a series of maneuvers and stances that incorporate supernatural elements into combat. In the setting Forgotten Realms, the elves have a sword-fighting style called Bladesong, which is available only to elven fighter/mages. It is described as being deceptively graceful and appears like a dance. The focus of the style is on putting the opponent off balance before striking home with a mixture of spells and lethal swordwork. |

Dwarf Fortress hand-to-hand combat is a mess of possibilities, most impractical, so the community has boiled the most effective attacks (whether realistic or exploiting the game's Good Bad Bugs) into a brutal and pragmatic art named "Kisat Dur" (literally, "Empty Fist"). Techniques include "Sodel Ar" ("Shield of Flesh"), "Idrazoluth" ("Dog Combat"), "Enkos Nitem" ("Vision Taker"), and the Simple, yet Awesome "Stot Abodsuton" ("Surprise Gut Strike"). | |

Stargate SG-1: "The Warrior" introduces the Jaffa martial art mastaba, which is really just capoeira with the serial numbers filed off. In "Affinity" Teal'c gets an apartment in Colorado Springs and practices a martial art called loc'nel, which he teaches to his neighbor Krista. Then she uses it to kill her abusive boyfriend in self-defense. There is also an unnamed martial art used by the Sodan, a tribe of rogue Jaffa. They teach the basics to Cam Mitchell in order to fight one of their own to the death (his teacher, who fakes his death). When SG-1 is ambushed in a later episode by a group of Sodan, Mitchell and Teal'c are the only ones to successfully hold them off, while Sam and Daniel are quickly taken down (granted, Daniel is an archaeologist, but Sam has no excuse considering the third episode in the series stated she had advanced hand-to-hand training). |

Dune: The Weirding Way, which is derived from the Bene Gesserit prana-bindu skill. Due to the presence of kinetically-sensitive personal Deflector Shields, knife and sword fighting styles have evolved to include slow strikes that can penetrate shields. The Honored Matre fighting style involves incredibly fast kicks delivered with no nervous input from the brain, which makes one wonder what triggered the attack in the first place. Reflex action? |

There is also the Grayson sword arts.

Honor ends up influencing one of the schools by showing historical records to its master, which inspires him to try Dual Wielding the traditional Grayson sword with a wakizashi as well as adding some kendo moves to his repertoire. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Next Generation: This series introduces the Klingon martial arts Mok'bara, which includes unarmed combat and the use of traditional Klingon weapons such as the bat'leth. A special effects director and Technical Advisor had martial arts experience and designed Mok'bara katas to be similar to Tai chi chuan except with clawed hand gestures. The episode "The Icarus Factor" features anbo-jyutsu, a Japanese-developed staff art taught to Riker by his father that requires the combatants to fight blindfolded. Kyle Riker stated he considered it the ultimate form of human martial arts. Dr. Pulaski thought it was incredibly dangerous. Star Trek: Enterprise mentions a Vulcan martial arts, Suus Mahna, which doesn't get nearly as much screen time as Mok'bara. It appears again in Star Trek: Discovery. Star Trek: Picard: Although the hand-to-hand combat practiced by the Qowat Milat sisterhood hasn't been named onscreen, it's nevertheless the first time in the franchise that a specific Romulan martial arts is showcased. It's more "fantastic" than that of the Klingons or the Vulcans because the Romulan warrior nuns develop Super-Reflexes during their training that are fast enough dodge multiple energy weapons fire note which is a very rare ability in the Trek Verse because it was only exhibited beforehand by Soong-type androids and Augments. This Amazon Brigade is remarkably adept at wielding a tan qalanq while also utilizing Combat Parkour, Hit-and-Run Tactics and stealth to single-handedly defeat several opponents. This featurette focuses on a Deleted Scene from "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2" where Narek uses a Capoeira-like Romulan martial arts to take on five Soong-type androids. |

One Piece has a whole bunch of these. Roronoa Zoro uses Santouryuu (Three-Sword Style, one in each hand, one in the mouth). The octopus Fishman Hatchan uses Rokutouryuu (Six-Sword Style, with six arms). Many higher-ups in the World Government including CP9 use a set of seven techniques called Rokushiki (Six Powers). These techniques include Razor Wind, bullet-like finger jabs, Super-Speed, Double Jumping, two methods of No Selling (one that makes you Made of Iron but unable to move much and one that makes you flexible like paper), and one Ultimate Technique that's basically a two-fisted one-inch punch. One often seen is Fishman Karate and its variants. These fighting styles, used by the Fishmen (Though humans can use it too, albeit far less effectively), are all about controlling and using water to their advantage, while sometimes taking advantage of a particular Fishman's attributes (Fins, tentacles...). Part of what makes this an interesting and formidable fighting style is that because every living being is made of water, it can hit virtually anyone, even our rubber-bodied hero. Hasshouken (Fist of Eight Impacts), a fighting style used by the Chinjao family where they manipulate the vibrations produced by their blows to bypass defenses and augment their blows. Okama Kenpo, which basically combines Karate with ballet dancing. The Longarm and Longleg tribes have a second elbow and knee joint in their arms and legs, respectively. Members of these tribes thus have fighting styles which work in tandem with the increased reach they have as well as the ability to coil and spring their double-jointed limbs almost like a snake striking. The number of Fantastic Fighting Styles just go on and on and would take way too long to list them all. Basically, anyone who doesn't have a Devil Fruit will have one. |

The Matador Series by Steve Perry has sumito (a.k.a. the 97 steps), developed from silat by professional fighter Lazlo Mourn in The Musashi Flex and focused on footwork and body positioning. It eventually became associated with the monastic order the Siblings of the Shroud, then the Siblings taught it to Emile Khadaji in The Man Who Never Missed. Khadaji in turn passed it on to the Matadors. Sumito relies heavily on footwork and positioning, with practitioners training by walking a pattern of 97 footprints stenciled onto the floor. The series includes a number of other examples as well, including oppugnate, a military mixed martial art fusing elements of boxing with bits of several other arts. | |

A key gameplay element in The Witcher is switching between Geralt's three styles of two-handed swordsmanship on the fly, since each works best on particular opponents (i.e. they play into a Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors with each type of enemy): "Strong Style", also called the "Temerian Devil" style, was adapted from Temerian knight training. Geralt becomes a Mighty Glacier with this style: it has the highest damage per strike but the longest cooldown between attacks. "Fast Style", also called Addan Anye ("Fiery Dancer"), was adapted from elven sword arts and has a higher attack rate but lower damage than Strong Style. While most effective against faster opponents such as ghosts and vampires, it can also be used to interrupt enemy attacks and deal the Death of a Thousand Cuts. "Group Style", also called Viroledan Naev'de Feaine Glaeddyv ("Nine Sun Swords"), was adapted from the sword arts of the Nilfgaardian town Viroledo, and relies on lots of spinning and broad slashes to rapidly cut down large numbers of weak opponents. Be prepared to see lots of flying heads if used against human enemies. While discussing the sword styles, Witcher swordmaster Lambert also comments that the higher fragility of the silver sword used to kill some monsters requires modifications to the sword arts, namely less parrying and blocking and more use of footwork to dodge incoming attacks. While the game averts Breakable Weapons, the rest of this statement is reflected in gameplay, with separate perk trees and slightly different animations for steel and silver swords. |

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: The game discusses the Echani fighting style, which is said to be dance-like in its movements and your party members Handmaiden and Atton are skilled in. The game also allows the player to learn some of the seven different lightsaber forms depending on their class, each having different bonuses and penalties. Shii-Cho (Form I/Determination) is the first one the player learns and the most basic technique, ideal for using when heavily outnumbered. Makashi (Form II/Contention) was specifically developed to defend against other lightsaber users, but leaves the user open to blaster fire. Soresu (Form III/Resilience) enhances the user's ability to defend against blaster fire, but is unsuited for combat against multiple opponents. Ataru (Form IV/Aggression) is especially useful against a single opponent but like Makashi leaves the player open to blaster fire. Shien (Form V/Perseverance) works similarly to Soresu, but is unsuited for single opponents rather than groups. Niman (Form VI/Moderation) combines elements from the previous six to create a single form useful in all situations, but with no apparent strengths. Juyo (Form VII/Ferocity) is a precarious fighting style that is best against single powerful opponents, but weakens the user's defense against Force powers. |

Dead or Alive: Ryu Hayabusa fights using Hayabusa style ninjutsu, the martial practiced by the shinobi of his village. His shrine maiden Momiji also uses elements of this fighting style. Hayate, Kasumi and Ayane of the Mugen Tenshin clan also practice a style of ninjutsu exclusive to their clan. Kasumi and Hayates use the Tenjinmon style which focuses on evasion and defense, while Ayane uses the more offense-focused Hajinmon style. Rachel, another transplant from the Ninja Gaiden games, uses Counter Fiend Combat as her fighting style. It is based on the CQC moves used by Spartan-458 from Dead or Alive 4. |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades has several styles of fighting used by its Magic Knight-styled mages. There are three main schools of sword arts practiced in the Union, though in practice they're usually mixed and matched by most practitioners. The Lanoff Style, favored by main character Oliver Horn, is the most widely used and considered the easiest to learn. It emphasizes staying on defense while quickly analyzing your opponent's fighting style for weaknesses that can be counterattacked, as well as spatial magic targeting the footing of either the wielder or opponent, and techniques such as gravity manipulation. The Rizett Style, favored by Chela McFarlane and a number of other mage aristocrats, is a more offensively oriented fencing style. One known technique is the Hero's Charge, a sudden headlong rush ending in a thrust at full extension. The Koutz Style emphasizes mobility, flexibility, and footwork, and tends to be much flashier than other styles. Pure Koutz practitioners such as Ursule Valois are exceedingly rare: most, such as Tullio Rossi, combine it with elements of other styles. For her part, Nanao, a samurai from the far east, learned her family's self-titled Hibiya Style from the moment she was big enough to pick up a sword. It's a pretty typical Japanese-style sword school, which Nanao modifies to her liking once she begins learning magic, including inventing a "Two-Handed Flow Cut" (named after a similarly named technique from the Koutz Style) that allows her to deflect incoming spells with her katana. "Magicombat", unarmed techniques combined with spatial magic, is regarded as a sort of counterargument to Sword Arts. Several members of the Campus Watch practice it: Lesedi "Hard Knocker" Ingwe can kickbox in midair, while Alvin Godfrey wins his opening bout in the combat leagues with wrestling moves mixed with Lanoff Style spatial magic. |

The earlier story arcs of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure give us Hamon, a martial art technique wherein practitioners can harness their vital energies through proper breathing techniques and project them as sunlight to combat the forces of the undead and the Pillar Men. The applications of Hamon are incredibly varied and versatile, with skilled users capable of healing injuries or projecting Hamon energy through various objects to increase their lethality. | |

It's not terribly often, but for all the high-tech weaponry taken for granted in the Perry Rhodan universe martial arts, including alien ones, do make the occasional appearance. Prominent examples are the recurring traditional Arkonid martial art Dagor (trans. All-Fight) and the Upanishad style once taught on a mass scale by the warrior cult that had taken hold in the twelve galaxies once ruled by the super-intelligence ESTARTU — and which involved among other things the regular drug-assisted conditioning of practitioners of the fourth and higher ranks (of ten) at the time. | |

Bait and Switch (STO): Played with in "From Bajor to the Black, Part II". The Bajoran viewpoint character draws a comparison between the Israeli art Krav Maga, which is part of Starfleet's training regimen, and the Cardassian-derived "military boxing" she learned when she was in the Bajoran Militia. The Wrong Reflection gives the Cardassian name of the art as chakar daran and even shows two practitioners (Eleya, the protagonist, and her mirror universe counterpart) sparring with it. In Red Fire, Red Planet, an Orion character mentions Klingon Mok'bara, Andorian shan-dru-shaan, and human jujutsu as arts she's learned. |

Dragon Ball has the Turtle and Crane Schools of Martial Arts, and while animal-named fighting styles exist in the real world, ones where a Kamehame Hadoken is the ultimate move...not so much. That said, aside from the Kamehameha, the Turtle School is mainly a way of life rather than a specific fighting style. There actually is a real-life Crane Style Kung Fu school, but it sadly doesn't teach students how to fly. | |

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has "Breathing Styles", martial art techniques that use controlled breathing patterns to increase physical prowess via oxygen saturation in the bloodstream, allowing practitioners to fight against demons on equal footing. There are different kinds of Breathing Styles, each of which provide their users with varying benefits and signature attacks known as "Forms", including (but not limited to): "Water Breathing", the style taught to Tanjiro at the beginning of the series. Considered one of the more beginner-friendly Breathing Styles to learn, Water Breathing grants its users the flexibility and fluid motions of water. "Thunder Breathing", the style utilized by Zenitsu. With techniques derived from iaijutsu, Thunder Breathing grants its users the blinding speed and power of lightning. "Beast Breathing", a self-taught style utilized by Inosuke. By using two swords in tandem, Beast Breathing grants its users the heightened senses and raw strength of a wild animal. |

Star Wars Legends: Dark Forces Saga consolidated the seven lightsaber forms into three; Fast Style, Medium Style, and Strong Style. Fast was a combination of Soresu and Ataru, a defensive style utilizing the blade held close to the body to more easily deflect shots or launch quick jabs & cuts, while also making use of acrobatic jumps and rolls. Medium was an upgraded form of Shii-Cho with elements of Niman, simple in technique while providing reliable offense and defense. Strong was a combination of Juyo, Shii-Cho, and Makashi and was based primarily on wide, powerful strikes to batter through an opponent's defenses. Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: The game discusses the Echani fighting style, which is said to be dance-like in its movements and your party members Handmaiden and Atton are skilled in. The game also allows the player to learn some of the seven different lightsaber forms depending on their class, each having different bonuses and penalties. Shii-Cho (Form I/Determination) is the first one the player learns and the most basic technique, ideal for using when heavily outnumbered. Makashi (Form II/Contention) was specifically developed to defend against other lightsaber users, but leaves the user open to blaster fire. Soresu (Form III/Resilience) enhances the user's ability to defend against blaster fire, but is unsuited for combat against multiple opponents. Ataru (Form IV/Aggression) is especially useful against a single opponent but like Makashi leaves the player open to blaster fire. Shien (Form V/Perseverance) works similarly to Soresu, but is unsuited for single opponents rather than groups. Niman (Form VI/Moderation) combines elements from the previous six to create a single form useful in all situations, but with no apparent strengths. Juyo (Form VII/Ferocity) is a precarious fighting style that is best against single powerful opponents, but weakens the user's defense against Force powers. |

Everything Everywhere All at Once: One of the first Alternate Selves Evelyn taps into is a version of her who was trained in martial arts. Later, as her powers grow, she ends up tapping into an alternate self of that alternate self, who was trained in martial arts using only her pinkies. Her first demonstration of this is to send a mook flying into the air with a jab from her now incredibly muscular pinky fingers. | |

Rurouni Kenshin gives us Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, a deadly sword style used by Himura Kenshin, the Hitokiri Battousai, focused on blinding speed, reading the opponent's emotions and battoujutsu. This is just one among a great many fighting schools introduced in the series; among the more prominent is the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu taught by Kenshin's Love Interest Kamiya Kaoru, a Martial Pacifist style that teaches its users to conquer their opponents rather than kill them (e.g. breaking a kneecap to disable an opponent). | |

Street Fighter: Ryu and Ken were trained in Ansatsuken, which was loosely based on Japanese martial arts. Dan Hibiki created his own (ineffectual) fighting style known as Saikyo-ryu which was a combination of his late father's fighting style, Muay Thai, and the little he learned from Ryu & Ken's master Gouken. Laura from Street Fighter V was a practitioner of Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu, which was inspired by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. |

Spider-Man, prior to the Spider-Island event, trained under Shang Chi to compensate for the temporary loss of his Spider Sense. After the martial-arts equivalent of boot camp, Shang Chi and Spider-Man developed The Way of the Spider, a unique fighting style that utilized Spider-Man's physical strength and agility to their fullest. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: This series introduces the Klingon martial arts Mok'bara, which includes unarmed combat and the use of traditional Klingon weapons such as the bat'leth. A special effects director and Technical Advisor had martial arts experience and designed Mok'bara katas to be similar to Tai chi chuan except with clawed hand gestures. The episode "The Icarus Factor" features anbo-jyutsu, a Japanese-developed staff art taught to Riker by his father that requires the combatants to fight blindfolded. Kyle Riker stated he considered it the ultimate form of human martial arts. Dr. Pulaski thought it was incredibly dangerous. |
