MARTIAL ARTS
Martials Arts means playing a level in a way that emphasizes combat styles of movement. Show off a real-life kata, or channel your favorite stylish action movie. However you play, you should look like your targets are threats and you are doing serious damage to them. Don't just hit, destroy.

Scoring
