Style and Flair

Many fighters distinguish themselves from their peers by
adopting and perfecting a particular style or method of
waging combat. Although this style might be a natural
outgrowth of a fighter's personality, that's not always the
case — someone's approach to the world in general does
not necessarily dictate how that person operates when lives
are on the line.

Do you have a combat style that mirrors your outlook on
life, or is something else inside you unleashed when
