Any grappling skill can be used to perform the initial grapple, and then comes the strike. Technically, this move is an All-Out Attack (Double), and if you hit with the grapple, you get the benefits of an All-Out Attack (Strong), that is, +2 damage. The attack itself is an AoA (Double) though.

This means, by the way, that you can grapple with DX if you're untrained in a grappling skill, and still be stabby-stabby-man.

For the classic DF Thief type with sky-high DX, if you don't want to be an unarmed combat expert/ninja type, you don't have to be . . . and you can still pull off this stunt.
