Percute

Percute (meaning "Strike" in Latin) is a well known martial art that revolves mostly around striking. It teaches how to attack with and defend against most kinds of strikes, focusing mostly on combat in the standing position. It is a relatively new martial art, emerging in the last 100 years and incorporating elements form many older striking based martial arts. In addition to teaching people how to perform a large verity of strikes, using nearly every part of the body (the overhand right, spinning backfist, elbow strike, flying knee and head kick to name a few), it also teaches how to aim these strike to maximize their effectiveness. Experts in Percute can land their blows to the weakest points on the human body, such as pressure points. They are even taught how best to deliver strikes to a downed opponent from a standing position, though the martial art lacks any form of grappling, submission or ground work. Percute is best neutralized by use of grappling techniques or taking the user off their feet, though they still may try to utilize up-kicks to defend themselves while they attempt to get back to their feet.
