[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 8426033, member: 6750235"] To anyone who has issues with the setting for monks... Boxing existed as one of the first martial arts from over 3000 BCE and is typical in MMA today. Pankration was created over 4000 years ago. It is attributed to Theseus and Greek in nature. Greek mythology stressed superhuman an supernatural abilities in it's heroes. The roots of parkour stem from a martial art developed prior to WWII based on the observations of a French naval officer observing African tribes and his position was strengthening the body, the energy, and the morality of the practitioners. The origins of parkour (African and European) fit the monk extremely well. The class was based on a fictional Korean martial art using Remo Williams from [I]The Destroyer [/I]so there was clearly some pop-culture reference but that doesn't mean the class doesn't apply to a typical European setting, especially in a fictional world anyway. I would point to Western martial arts and parkour as the basis here. [/QUOTE]
