| Anyone have a favorite fictional Martial Art? What are would you like to learn? Mok'bara of the Klingons? The Drug-enhanced, prescience MA Prana-Bindu of Frank Herberts Dune? Déjà-fu is Discworld? The Gun Kata of Equilibrium? Lightsaber fighting? Rex Kwon Do? Ameri-do-te? Frank Dux style ninjitsu? |

Unfortunately, Dux-Ryu or F.A.S.S.T is very real. Sadly, it is one of the better formulated systems with a faux history, so still manages to have traction.
In terms of fictional martial art, I would not call myself a fan of any; however, I do enjoy light-saber fighting choreography. As they are not authentic swords, flinning is forgivable and can be interpreted as just how the weapons are used. I find suspension of disbelief easier with them compared to poor fencing practice with actual swords in films.
Prana-Bindu is perhaps the most compelling I have encountered with regards to sci-fi/fictional martial arts, as it is part of a broader narrative on the human condition. In that sense it captures the inability to render martial arts divisible from conflict and politics, which are deeply human affairs, and brings forth the question the benefit of the use of performance enhancing drugs with relation to enhanced capacity in the realm of violence.
I do enjoy wielding the bat'leth; it is a terrifying weapon with regards to it's versatility and practicality. I sometimes prefer to practice with my bat'leth over my traditional weapons when ever I find myself feeling under motivated.

The anime history strongest disciple Kenichi- There really isn't a name other then MMA really. I love the main characters martial arts. There is another one in that one that all his art is prediction and retaliation. I can't think of his name tho  . |
