I'm designing a style for sahuagin of the Forgotten Realms, who are similar to the shark men of Yrth. I have the Pyramid on Underwater Adventuring and GURPS Martial Arts: Yrth Fighting Styles.

This particular style uses only claws and teeth. It is the personal style of a sahuagin Baron who is smaller and weaker than his peers, a serious weakness in a society where rank is determined through duels with tooth and claw. He is, however, more intelligent and savvy and through skill and practice has been able to defeat any challengers.

I can represent some of it through using Karate instead of Brawling, with an appropriate Perk, which gives him higher damage for his ST. I was wondering what else I could add.

Is Judo worthless underwater, with Wrestling doing everything it can usefully do, but better?

What are good Techniques and Perks for intelligent duelling with tooth and claw?
