Melekatha

Melekatha is an exotic fighting technique designed by the vanished-archon Melek Taus.

This unarmed combat style is regarded as a soft art consisting of dodges, holds and strikes designed to turn the energy of the attackers back against themselves.

This martial art form is practiced by the Children of the Upper Reach, a group of monks in Cheliax who seek to combat the hamatulatsu fighting style. As of yet, the two techniques have yet to be properly tested against each other.
