I ran a couple of martial arts TFT campaigns inspired by Circle of Iron.
I had 8 years of Tae Keon Do (Moo Duk Kwan) and was assistant instructor in our dojang (Korean for dojo), so I of course wrote a TFT martial arts supplement. I’ll see if I can find it; it worked though I suspect it would be horrible by today’s standards. Basically, there was a menu of techniques that martial artists could learn (front kick, side kick, roundhouse kick, jab, roundhouse, etc.) and use. Kicks did more damage but had DX penalties; that kind of stuff. At higher IQ levels, you got some AD&D monk abilities.
Didn’t really care for the Kung Fu 2100 game, but set a Traveller Adventure on a Kung Fu 2100 inspired planet.

Wow, I swear we must be brothers from different mothers LOL! I won't even bother to give my cv in that department, as this so eerie. Anyway if you haven't watched The Five Deadly Venons, check it out on YouTube, it's like no other Kung-Fu Flick, and started a crazy of about (10?) films from those guys.
Yes, I would love to see your old Martial Arts supplement for TFT, please post it if you like.
Sorry you didn't think KF2100 wasn't much fun; we thought it was a hoot! LOL!
