Vanguard Brawling
By danzig138

This is a rough-and-tumble pseudo-martial art that is popular with those known as Vanguard Brawlers. The exact origin of this particular way of fighting is unknown, but is believed to have started with a gang known as "The Flow". Over time, the Flow's way of fighting was imitated and duplicated by other gangs until it approached the level of an actual martial art.

This is a pretty basic fighting style. There are no rules. Anything goes. It's not uncommon for someone to pick up a weapon to use when they fight with this style.
