Realistic or Modern [Interest Check] Martial Arts Anyone?

[FaceYourFear]

Being the fanatic that I am, I've had an idea for a realistic, martial arts-themed RP for a while now.


Every player would be a marital artist of some type: you can practice any form, even fictional ones, so long as they are realistic. So, flying around and injuring people without touching them: impossible, so not allowed.


However, you are allowed to push the limits of what people can do. So, ripping someone's nose off with a wooden sword: unlikely, but not impossible, thus it's allowed.


The story would be centered around the characters' determination and what they're willing to risk to become the best martial artist they can be. Much violence and abnormal psychology would likely follow.


This spark anyone's interest? Light anyone's fire? Give you an idea for a similar RP? Do tell.

Well, this is certainly more of a response than I thought I'd get. I expected this to be a 1-on-1, but looks like I might have a change of plans.

Sorry, still new at this, not quite sure how to go about it.


Plus, I thought I'd stall a little to give me more time to decide on a plot.

 

[Yanipurr]

Is it fine if the martial art I pick is a non sport martial art?
