Shadow Fist is a reemerging style created by the original Mandalorians. At the time of its conception, their victory - and their very survival - depended on secrecy. As such, they engineered a form of combat which emphasized quick, precise strikes, aiming for the weakest possible points on the body. The axiom of Shadow Fist is that you can't hurt what you can't hit. It revolves around deception and misdirection, relying on quick, erratic movements, and stealthy attacks, to cause damage over a period of time, while wearing out the opponent. With the technological advances which led to the rise of the Mandalorians, Shadow Fist slowly disappeared. Recently, it has risen again from the ashes of time; while the modern incarnation's origin is unknown, rumor holds that it is the product of a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter, possibly Boba Fett himself.

Stance

The stance of the Shadow Fist is calculating and alluring. Almost as if ‘sizing up’ an opponent, the stance is a relaxed swagger that is almost always misleading.

Striking

Strikes come from out of the blue, seemingly from nowhere with precision. The chosen hand is, more often than not, a loosely thrown fist which tightens just before impact.

Defense

Not relying on defense, due to the stealthily aggressive nature, the Shadow Fist practitioner prefers to be on the offensive.
