Recently we revisited martial arts in Metahumans Rising series, adding Sumo wrestling to the options. This got us thinking: Are there other styles out that that people might want to see? So far we’ve covered everything from Aiki-jujutsu to Wing Chun, but there are so many others we haven’t touched.
