I haven't tried them but they look interesting, the various animal-named martial arts styles seem quite oriental in flavour. A bit rules-heavy, though - extra-special effects defined for every skill that could be adopted! And some odd things in it - e.g. creating magic items costing skill%-points? Also it seems based on a single MA skill, rather than the BRP version which has specialisms per weapon (i.e. Martial Arts(Fist), Martial Arts(Sword), etc).

Anyway, I'm not convinced an MA supplement is necessary. The existing BRP rules can probably be interpreted to do the job.

Related question: BRP MA skill gives double damage dice when attacking (like an impale), but shouldn't there also be some sort of benefit when parrying?
