	'''Unarmed combat''', referred to, by default, as the standard '''fists''', is considered a weapon due to the existence of extra [[List of Handgear\|handgear]] to improve damage done with fists. When fighting unarmed, a [[Contestant\|contestant]] is capable of performing '''combos''', which consists in hitting multiple times on a single dice roll. There are a few combos, ranging from simple punches and kicks to more complex combinations of those.

	Unarmed combat has both advantages and disadvantages. The most obvious advantage is that, as the name implies, it does not require a weapon to perform, and may be an effective 'weapon' by itself when well-used. However, the more interesting combos are harder to perform and are subject to FT increases.		Unarmed combat has both advantages and disadvantages.

-	~~=== Techniques ===~~
-	Techniques are '''chains of moves performed by a fighter''' in a single turn. A correctly executed technique may have additional devastating effects. However, the more complex the technique, the harder it is for a fighter to successfully complete it.<br />
-	Each move, or step of a technique requires a dice roll (a standard 2d6, as with normal attacks). A technique with 3 steps requires three 2d6 rolls in a row. The difficulty lies in completing it successfully; if ANY of the roll results is a failed hit, the technique is said to be '''botched''' and only the previous successful rolls, if any, may cause any damage, without extra effects.<br />
-
-	~~Example:~~
-	*In a typical situation with FT 6, the fighter tries a 3-step technique. He rolls '''8''', '''7''', '''9''' ; all three hits land.
-	*Same situation, the fighter tries a 3-step technique. He rolls '''7''', <span style="color: red">3</span>, '''8'''. Despite two of the rolls are successful, the second one is a failure; he could land his first hit, but not his second, thus he can't chain with the third hit because the technique was botched.
-
-	Note that when performing any martial arts technique other than single punches and kicks, [[Gameplay mechanics#Combat\|Inaccuracy]] does not apply, as such the associated 0.8x damage multiplier also doesn't apply.
-
-	'''During gameplay, the player MUST announce he/she wants his/her contestant to attempt a technique, as well as which one, exactly as if describing an attack by telling the name of the weapon. This is important for clarification and proper resolution of effects!'''
