MA campaigns and your experience

[AlonzoTheGurpsPlayer]

Hello everybody, I haven't GMed since early 2012 and I have been thinking about running a Martial Arts campaign. The plot I want to try is that the PCs either represent a real world style, or even their own style if they can make one up that isn't too outlandish, and they fight other people around the world.

For example, one player who is representing say, Taekwondo, might go to the middle east and fight one of the worlds best wrestlers in a close to no rules contest. Or maybe someone representing Boxing (I know it's not usually considered a martial art, but I would allow it) might fight someone from Brazil representing Capoeira or BJJ.

Now, what I have a problem with is redundancy. I want to make all the fights exciting and not seem the same, so I wanted some suggestions on how to do this. I was thinking that traveling around the world would represent it's own adventure but I still want to focus on finding the world's toughest fighter in a sense. I would like to know what you guys have done in MA or any other kind of campaign to keep combat exciting.


So again, I am open to suggestions, and the point limit is 150 points with 75 points in disadvantages. If you guys think a higher point limit with cinematic skills and techniques allowed would make it better, I might allow it. If armed styles being allowed and some leeway being used with unarmed against armed would also changes things for like say range and different tactics having to be used might make things change, I might also allow that.

TL;DR: I need help on making my MA campaign not too redundant in combat.
