    Most Kata are just as applicable to armed as unarmed combat, as I noted above, so in most cases you can apply what you know how to do with a sword as with a kick or punch, unless it is specifically say, a technique to use a spear or the like. In most cases though, your damage & lethality is obviously superior using a sword than a fist, unless you supplement with supernatural effects like Kiho. 

    Ahhhhh I see.  I haven't read that far into the book yet.  Ok.  And yeah, swords/daggers are obviously more lethal than empty hands.

    Samurai were traditionally quite skilled at unarmed.  See Aikijujutsu, etc.  In fact, Aikijujutsu is based on kenjutsu.  When you learn kenjutsu, you're also learning unarmed combat.  I think that's what Musashi meant when he said "learn one thing, learn 10,000 things".  So I am wondering if we will have options reflecting that.  Maybe it doesn't matter for the game.

    Dag mutters some choice expletives under his breath as he gets to his feet and readies his rifle, bringing the stock to his shoulder, practicing proper trigger discipline, and pointing the barrel slightly down to the ground.  He drops to one knee, waiting for the others, keeping his attention on the main entrance to/from the roof.  He's not in charge of this op, so he waits for orders.

    Dag checks and rechecks his gear.  Doublechecks the charge on his rifle and pistol.  He was hired to fill holes in this squad's ranks, but he didn't really know these guys well yet.  He hoped that would not be a problem.  He also wondered to himself about the Jedi.  He seemed less serene than expected.  He put those thoughts aside and began reviewing the mission details.  He began "quizzing" the other members of the squad, making sure he and they recalled important details.

     

     "Did anyone get the details of our extraction plan?  Is there any support in case things get hairy?  Do we have any intelligence regarding the numbers, type, and disposition of opposing forces?"
