Default Re: Allowing Technique Mastery with Dual-Weapon Attack

Should this be forbidden? Or do the drawbacks of Dual-Weapon Attack (no shields, no Rapid Strikes, no two-handed weapons) compensate for the bonus?
If I feel a perk, technique, or advantage in Martial Arts is overpowered for its cost, I tell the player that in order to take it he has to take an appropriate style as a template and tack on disadvantages and extra costs to the style as part of the overall cost.
