Judo: This form is made to get your opponent on the ground and then get them in a position to where they can’t escape. If you do a successful grapple, as a bonus action you can try and pin them to the floor doing a an athletics check to do so. On your next turn you may use your action to keep the target pinned or to get up and release them.

Choose these if you choose the illegal street fighter route (if you picked Illegal Techniques).

Kyusho: This fighting style is focused on hitting pressure points to further damage the opponent. You can take a turn to study the exposed pressure points on a person.

The Underdogs Spirit

You have been through a lot of ups and downs, and yet you keep on fighting, no matter what, and when the odds seem unfavorable, you just fight harder. Whenever a teammate goes down you get advantage against the person that knocked them out for 3 turns and if they killed them you get advantage against them for the rest of the battle. If you are the last one on the team you gain extra turns every round equal to the amount of people in the party, excluding you.
