Default Re: Ayo Gorkhali!

As it happens, I was just in Nepal over the December vacations, and I bought myself a high-quality kukri as a souvenir (I also drank lots of Gorkha beer, which is how the natives spell and pronounce Gurkha.) So I'm also very interested in learning more.

Looks good to me. I assume you intend Choke Hold to be for Judo, but I think it's possible to default that technique from Knife so you should specify.

Also, it's worth mentioning that Nepali is basically a dialect of Hindi--the two languages are mutually comprehensible. I'd make their Cultural Familiarity Central Asia. They share borders with India, Tibet (China), and Bhutan, but the Indian border is the only one not consisting of the tallest mountain range in the world.

Nepal is 80% Hindu and has more cultural similarities to India than to any other place.
