Description: Dancing Fist is a style taught to Marcus by his old mentor... Marcus. It's a style focused more on defense and endurance. Dodging, parrying, blocking, grappling, submissions, and countering are the main tenets with an emphasis on quick reactions. Despite its name, this style is effective on the ground as well. There are offensive patterns available, they're just not pushed nearly as much as the defensive side of things is. Grants one tier to Coordination and a + to Strength for defensive actions.
Weaknesses: While attacking Marcus only receives a boost of + to Coordination and Strength. A style excellent for defending but mediocre at best on the offensive.

Description: This technique is meant to be quick in its execution. It is comprised of two movements, one being a defensive maneuver where Marcus blocks and attempts to grab whatever struck him be it a body part or a weapon by snapping his arm around it and pinning it to his body. The second maneuver is a single, quickly delivered strike to a vulnerable part of his opponent. This strike can be a kick or a strike with his other hand, but it is a very straight to the point strike and as such he can't kick high or strike low with his hand. Boosts Coordination and Strength by a +.

Description: This technique utilizes an opponent's momentum against them. When they go in for a strike, Marcus will deflect the blow to one side or the other with a soft block before grasping his opponent and twisting to perform an over the shoulder toss if it's a strike utilizing their upper body, similar to the one used in Judo. If it's a kick, it must be aimed higher than his knees to use this technique. Marcus will block the kick with his own leg while his arm on the same side snaps down to wrap it before his opponent can pull it back. Marcus then spins with the momentum of the kick and pulls his opponent off balance and tries to force them to the ground. Grants a boost of ++ to Strength and + to Coordination.
