Lee Kwan Choo

Lee Kwan Choo is a totally non-violent martial art. It is simply impossible to hurt anyone using it. The bonuses and techniques of the form may be introduced into other forms and katas but Lee Kwan Choo itself can not be modified.

Students learn to meditate while fighting. Techniques are ALL avoidance (Parry/Dodge) and leaping from combat. There are attacks in Lee Kwan Choo but they do NO DAMAGE. For example, while fighting in the Lee Kwan Choo style, the combatant would avoid all attacks. Suddenly, she will lash out with a devastating punch between the eyes of the opponent. In any other style this would be a killing blow, but here the fist stops a fraction of an inch from the victim. The defender would take NO DAMAGE, but the shock will cause a stun that lasts from 1 to 6 Melee Rounds.

Learning the art requires a retreat to a remote monastery for the study of the meditative skills. While at the monastery the student is expected to participate in all the domestic arts needed to produce the community's food and clothing, as well as helping in the ritual recopying of ancient manuscripts.

All attacks do NO damage, instead they all can K.O./Stun.
