Line 131:
* One optional skill in ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' is Kung Fu Hustler. With it, when you fight without a weapon or offhand item, you periodically gain intrinsic buffs. First you get bonus damage equal to three times your level, then 50% additional combat initiatve, spooky damage equal to three times your level, and bonus item drops. If you adventure with a weapon, you lose them all instantly. You also get new barehanded hit and miss messages.
** There's also [[New Game+|an optional]] [[Self-Imposed Challenge|challenge path]] called Way of the Surprising Fist, which restricts the use of weapons or off-hand items and severely reduces meat drops, but allows the player to learn path-specific skills.
* [[Pirate]] classes in ''[[Maple Story]]'' either use firearms or this sort of fighting.

* Ty Lee from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* In the 2011 version of ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats]]'' Thunderian princes Lion-O and Tygra are both adept at this type of combat. Lion-O uses it to beat all but the leader of a gang of muggers in a street fight, but is himself bested by older brother Tygra after impulsively challenging him to a match of Thundera's [[Gladiator Games]].
* Jedi Master Mace Windu uses a lightsaber like all Jedi do, but in a pinch, he needs no weapon... He ''is'' a weapon! Proven by one episode of ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', where he loses his lightsaber and is surrounded by an army of Battle Droids, but [[Crowning Moment of Awesome| takes ''them all'' down with his bare hands.]]
