Close Quarters Combat (CQC)

CQC is a fighting style that focuses on hand-to-hand close-quarters combat. Unlike Krav Maga, CQC is primarily an aggressive fighting style that focuses on the user being offensive. The art is designed to quickly subdue opponents and overpower them with pressure technique and crushing blows. This art requires a thorough knowledge of Intent. In addition, the user has a passive 75% chance to block melee attacks while on throw mode. Chef has access to CQC, which in their case stands for Close Quarters Cooking - they can use it only within the Kitchen and the Bar, but it is otherwise identical.

Disarm While using CQC steals what they're holding out of their hand, rather than dropping it on the floor.

Chef CQC

The Chef automatically knows CQC. However, they only know how to use it when they are in the Bar, Kitchen, and Freezer. No one knows why they can only use it in those places, but it is rumored that a NNO got upset after they found the chef dead and his kitchen empty when the NNO had a particularly ravenous case of the munchies. As a result, they implanted a geo-activated martial-arts implant into every chef that teaches them basic self-defence when they're cooking.

Krav Maga

Krav Maga is a self-defence style that was developed by ancient militaries on Terra six centuries ago. It can be learned through years of training or be given to a user by advanced nanomachines stored inside gloves. On the station, a singular pair of Krav Maga Gloves can be found the Warden's locker. Nuclear Operatives can use Combat Gloves Plus for the same effect.

Disarm While using Krav Maga steals what they're holding out of their hand, rather than dropping it on the floor.

Harm While using Krav Maga, one is more adept at hand-to-hand combat, increasing the damage dealt when punching by 10, and by an additional 5 against floored targets.

Leg Sweep Sweeps the legs out from under a target to knock them down for four seconds.

Neck Chop A hard swing with the side of your hand deals some damage and disables the target's ability to speak for twenty seconds

Lung Punch Deals 30 stamina damage and prevents breathing for ten seconds. Four of those will incapacitate a target less-than-lethally, but beware of the loss of breath you cause.

Way of the Sleeping Carp

An ancient art learned through intense study and meditation. It is modeled after the graceful movement, combat, and flow of Space Carp. Ancient masters of this art are rumored to have studied among great schools of space carp and survived, some have even befriended the aggressive creatures. This art is often utilized by zealots and extremists especially among The Syndicate.

Due to the graceful nature of this martial art, users are able to completely deflect almost all incoming projectiles when on throw intent and reflect them back in random directions. This includes all ballistic and laser based projectiles but not explosives. However, part of becoming a Master of Sleeping Carp is to take an oath to abstain from using projectile weapons. This includes wielded firearms and firearms attached to equipment such as mechs. It isn't quite clear why, however, it is thought that it allows the user to intensify their focus on perfect flow and deflection. Others believe that it is part of the drive of the master to further emulate the way of the Carp, so as to completely focus on the attack of the Carp: its Bite. This does not prevent the practitioners of Sleeping Carp from throwing items, bolas, floor tiles, or people- all useful ranged weapons.

The aggressive bite of a carp crushes bones and breaks the spirit of its target. Much like the carp's bite, the user of this martial art will crush the bones of others through heavy blows from their hands, resulting in extreme brute damage. To reach full damage potential the user will commit fully with all of their strength, and in the heat of the moment will yell out expletives such as "CARP STRIKE" and "COWABUNGA". May God have mercy and anyone who finds themselves on the other side of the fury a Master of the way of the Sleeping Carp. Masters of the sleeping carp will never miss their punches and their crushing blows will deal 10-15 damage.
