We put our heads together (no beer analogies please) and eventually decided to adopt the fighting style known as Opening A Big Ol' Can Of Whup-Ass (a fighting style originally developed by monks . . . or truck drivers . . . who wandered about the American South). The technique stresses the virtue of hitting (A) hard and (B) first, and is usually supplemented with a variety of semi-automatic weapons

The native foxgirl population of the Confederacy of Ravenspire had developed several martial art styles. These include kitsudo, a soft style focused on evading attacks and turning the enemy's force back against him, as well as nerve-strike techniques; mushijutsu, the art of using a whip, rope, or other flexible weapon to best advantage; ro zhen, a hard style focusing on flurries of fast, powerful blows; mi goo gon, the art of improvised weapons; kitsukenjutsu, a style of sword techniques; and lathreya, focusing on joint-locks and incapacitating strikes. These styles remain popular among the foxpeople, and have spread to some extent among the human population, though human arts such as judo, karate, aikido, fencing, savate, kung fu, and others are also widely practiced.

We use the forms of Tai-chi and Shoalin for the most part.

There's some self-defense styles that the elite in our armed forces learn.

It's restricted to special forces and fighting monks (weird mob who kick and chant Latin). The general public don't give a toss apart from immigrant Asians.

In addition to Hanganah and various fencing styles, the native Automite martial art of Wyiyata (which sounds like "Why I oughta...") is extremely popular. Techniques generally involve doing something like the chicken dance (to intimidate the opponent), followed by a swift point-blank charge at the ribcage. Surprisingly, injuries from this maneuver are rare.

The elven fencing could be related to Iaido, the Way of the Fast Draw, and Iaijutsu, The Art of Killing with One Stroke.
