SIGNATURE STYLE

Many fighte rs dis tinguish the mselves from their peers

by ado pt ing and perfecting a pa r ticula r style or method

of waging combat. Although this style m ight be a na tural

outg rowth of a fighter's personality, t hat's not a lways t he

case-someone's approach to the world in gene ra l does

not necessarily dic ta te how t hat pe rson operates w he n

lives a re on the line.

Do you have a combat style that mirrors your outlook

on life, or is something e lse inside you un leashed whe n
