It's fencing, i.e. self-defense.

"Fencing" technically encompasses all melee, but the sort Alexander excels at is "defending your civilian self from hooligans with your sidearm". Or, you know, being the hooligan in that situation, and/or ritual murder of your peers.

As for styles—

Happy Halloween all!

I'll plug two things-

First, my worldbuilding ⚔️martial-arts🥋 prompt game #FightClubNov, starts tomorrow!
(Info in my pinned.)

Also, you can find my debut novel, a contemporary archaeology mystery, on Itch, along with a free collection of short stories:

I'mma focus on Demon King Daughter's setting for this game! The eternal war between humans and demons keep martial combat more real and present than our actual reality. There's an emphasis on weapon-based techniques (because paladin hegemony), 🧵

I have taken #StageCombat lessons in broadsword & rapier, tourney lvl #Amtgard fighter (avoided the LARPing bits TBH), & lil #HEMA. #FightClubNov

#FightClubNov The zizzun themselves simply call it "drone combat forms" (including in writing), but because the zizzun "spoken" language is a complex system of signs, smells, dances, and buzzes, most outsiders call it by the sounds they make when naming this art: Biz-bizzun. (1/4)

Butt-Naked Redwoods Tukhé Grappling...

Is what I call it, but certainly not what they call it. 😅 They just say grappling. A modern person would see wrestling of some flavor.

Inspiration abounds. Sumo, Greco-Roman, Turkish Oil... 🧵 1/3

I'm Wrey, Science Fantasy writer hailing from the Caribbean.

Though Enclosure has numerous cultures, I will continue to focus on the Redwoods and the people inhabiting the longhouses therein, who are primarily tukhé (Neanderthals).

In short - aggression is ritualized. 1/4

My month was a roller coaster that went mostly downhill until exploding spectacularly.
Gonna have to spend the rest of the year picking up the pieces.
Trying to focus on the silver lining, but even that is stressful.

Looking forward to #FightClubNov and to winter writing projects.

The Elves don't call their style anything. They are tall and strong so mostly use long swords and broadswords.

The humans have curved swords and dont have a name for their style either.
(The Elves would call it fighting dirty).

In the real world they come from British and Japanese.

I think I will do some of #FightClubNov, although my swashbuckler has a historical setting and I wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable enough about real HEMA to educate others 🫣

But it's a heightened, colorful, fairytale-like 1660s Stuart Restoration world! The hero is a nobleman at a time when…

Lumina is a vast world with quite a few different cultures (Beeslingers is the Wild West; TNS is Belle Epoque Europe), but zizzun tend to be pretty consistent about fighting.

Namely, for the most part . . . (1/5)

I’m writing #Wuxia, which is a Chinese martial arts epic. Stylized exaggerated feats of physical prowess are normalized. My combat is a bit more grounded than high Wuxia. I’m a former tourney-level #Amtgard fighter & #HEMA combatant dabbler. I love writing fight scenes! And swords! #FightClubNov

Hello, #FightClubNov!

I don't really have 'styles' in my book? It's mostly just swashbuckling swordsmanship, and/or clockwork mecha beating on each other. I guess I could bring up various fencing schools and techniques, but it's not that kind of story.

I have two main types of fighting styles in Resist.
One is classic HEMA with a shortsword (broad) and polearms. The other is closer to Kali.

I am starting HEMA in January (only shortsword). I used to do lightsaber choreography.

No name, but all Mercies carry a long-sword called a godsword, which is infused with magical energy linking them to their patron god. Below are some of my MC's weapons he keeps on his person. 🧵

Nope. Absolutely nothing for real-world experience in combat, much as I wish otherwise.

As for real-world inspirations ... Jeet Kune Do is the one that I feel speaks to me the most, in terms of extant fighting styles.

Seina uses her fists and her magic to balance against weapons. Kyoka similar, but she does have a sword when she gets serious. Paladins however are defined by their blessed weapons. They combine real martial technique with holy magic augmentation to counter magic and harsher weaponry.🧵

Seina Sone in Demon King Daughter combines real boxing techniques from her father with her born Spellbreaking magic (looks like green fire/light). As expected, strong emphasis on upper body. She learns some leg techniques over time with Kyoka and Hasava. Seina focuses on quick, 🧵

Oh hey, just noticed this! But hey, I'm Niki~ And I'm working on an epic science fantasy based on jRPGs like Tales and Final Fantasy, so yeah--there's tons of fighting. With monsters present and the whole battle against the demon lord and his lackies, fighting's common enough~

Practitioners begin with a wooden staff, simple but consistently ranked among the best weapons. Later, they gain access🧵
