One nice feature is the sybstyles section that follows each martial art. ... You get a dozen varieties of Karate, and even eight flavors of Arnis, Escrima, and Kali, the Filipino martial arts. ... The next, somewhat smaller section, is Fictional Martial Arts, covering a few super-heroic fighting styles, some mythic China flavors of Kung Fu, and Zen Riflery. ... The Martial Arts in Other Genres gives some helpful suggestions for fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero martial arts, accompanied by somewhat uninteresting examples of new styles.

Ranged Martial Arts covers the (somewhat less varied) maneuvers used for ranged weapons such as shuriken or bows. Power Advantages for Martial Arts cover an optional system for adding a Power Advantage to a Maneuver, perhaps of most utility in a Heroic campaing featuring some moderately fantastic martial arts abilities; Superheroic and fantasy wuxia characters should probably stick with Powers. ...
