Specialities
Dodging: This enhancement speciality is concerned with avoiding injury by anticipating where a blow will land, and avoiding it. Commonly used against armed and unarmed attacks alike, dodging is an excellent way for a quick combatant to avoid harm.
Grappling: Unarmed attacks are not only punches and kicks. This enhancement speciality is concerned with attacks involving throws, often using an opponent's own momentum or weight against them.
Resilience: While many fighters focus on not being hit, most true brawlers know it's all about taking a hit. Resilience is an enhancement speciality used when resisting damage from unarmed attacks. While no attack can be entirely blocked with the body, it can be taken on a tougher bodypart, or have its momentum interrupted by a skilled unarmed fighter.
Restraint: This enhancement speciality is primarily concerned with holding and individual immobile, either to prevent them from moving and acting when attempting to apprehend or pacify them, or to prevent them from defending or avoiding further attack. In cases of athletic competition it can also be use to inflict enough pain on a restrained opponent to secure surrender.
Striking: This enhancement speciality deals with using hands, feet, head, and other body parts as weapons to strike at opponents and inflict injury.
