Re: [Martial Arts] Technique to offset -4 for grappled
Thanks, mate, for digging those up! Very edifying. Eliminating the penalty seems right out, but I might still go with Dell'Orto's option b) and cap the technique at Skill-2. (I think there's some confusing stuff in there, though - I don't think anyone would suggest a technique actually making fighting while grappled easier than ungrappled, just not as difficult as without specific training.

Re: [Martial Arts] Technique to offset -4 for grappled
Well another option is to consider what penalties your trying to buy off.
Concentrate distraction? I can see that. Penalty to attacks? Either a specific move (like a back kick, reverse headbutt, or elbow strike you can do on someone who has you grappled. Pretty specific move, but I can see it. Having a form that prevents being grappled or penalties is more like Slipperiness or IT:Diffuse and involves you getting away from being grappled.

Right. The skill in question I'm thinking of is actually Fast-Draw. The idea is that these guys would specifically train to pull out a knife when seized.

If the knife needs to be reached by a hand that is grappled its useless but if other parts of you are grappled then ok. I would make it a Hard technique though. Edit: This would be for the Grappling Rules in Basic only. Technical Grappling is much more precise and already specifically addresses what parts are grappled, directly or indirectly (Referred control).
