[Fred Brackin]

Considering he limited benefits of knowing a style that no one else does (until you start teaching it to others) I think that 1 cp's worth for the Style Familiarity was enough.

Since you can't claim it as a Style Perk until after you invent the style I requires 20pts of Skills as a prereq. Making those 20 pts be in the Style's primary Skills and Maneuvers would be logical.

Add in other Styles to train in first and acquire your base Skills plus cp to count as prereqs for desired Perks (definitely including Style Adaptation) and no one who isn't an accomplished Martial Artist is going to be starting their own Style.
