Well, ZGJ OBVIOUSLY needs microgravity to work.
And microgravity spaces are a little hard to come by, unless you are outside in space.
(Please do not engage in fighting in naked space. The risk to your fragile suit is too great and also maneuverability is lacking.)

Where are we going to learn this?
Is there a space designed for practice, or is it wherever is handy?
What does it look like and feel like there?

Why so hard? A reusable engine has to survive extreme heat and wear, restart reliably (even after coasting in microgravity) and work at very different power levels, then be checked before it flies again.

Microgravity work means your tools and work area are always slowly drifting away from you. Straps, snaps and carabiners are simple, dumb, incredibly pragmatic and efficient solutions. If you're gonna gonna get a body for long hours working outside in space, it just makes sense

"There is no war in the 5GC."
😬
I mean, realistically, there isn't. There are no fighting factions or pitched battles.
But there are occasional "security issues" and at worst, minor skirmishes.
Even then, microgravity is not the primary setting for these conflicts...

Let's talk about the conflicts in your world where fighting might be necessary.
Are we at open war? Cold war? Secret magical urban-fantasy war? Or are the conflicts much more personal?
Under what conditions might a character have to whip out this specific can of whoop-ass?

Microgravity makes complete sense for crystal growth and drug discovery — but the Starfall thread immediately derailed into an argument over space-based datacenters. #tech 1/4

😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Bechet et al. used simulated microgravity landing tasks as experimental paradigm to further investigate timing and amplitude features of anticipatory kinematic adjustments.

I guess I wanna point out, too, that it's not an especially common sport.
Microgravity is common in some parts of the world, but even those who regularly go weightless dont necessary feel especially insecure about who is in there with them.

Astronauts get upper extremity DVT at a pretty shockingly high rate. On earth Passive drainage does the job, but in microgravity you’ve got stasis, only one valve in IJ etc. they all end up with gradeIII venous stasis. Gonna see what we can do about that.
