Book one down, not much but a passing mention or two of Aikido. ([email protected] "Aikido Trophies".) Into Book 2 and the bullshido is starting to work its way to the top of the sluice pit.

His kung-fu and grappling were the only things that actually won him fights, though.Last edited by Goa Tse; 9/04/2012 9:31pm, .

I once read a fantasy novel where the hero was some kind of BJJ black belt.
There was a great fight scene about a third of the way through, where the hero and his opponent both started on their knees. The hero took a side mount very early, and then there were 15 blank pages where fuck-all happened.
Eventually, the bad-guy got gassed, did something silly, and the hero subbed him with an arm-bar. Sadly, it was all tangled in Gi, and the hero's back was in the way of the view, so we (the reader) didn't get to actually visualise it.
I tell you what though... it made for some really engaging and exciting mental imagery.

If it's good and realistic fight scenes we're after, Louis L'amour's fist fighting scenes were always both convincingly written and fairly engaging.
