For the record, I wouldn't say it's "not quite" the styles in 3e. I'd say it's "completely different from" the styles in 3e. The only thing that stayed constant is the concept of buying a few required skills and having a list of techniques. What you do with those techniques, as well as how advantages, disadvantages, perks, and other ("secondary") skills are handled, is 100% different from 3e.

This is not GURPS Magic here. This is a unique book with pretty much nothing carried forward from any earlier books.

Targeted Attack (Karate Punch/Face).

If you want them to use it for both punches and kicks, you need to list it (and learn it) separately.

Also, Ground Guard isn't so useful a perk if you don't have a ground grappling skill; it's not a perk I can see many practitioners picking up. They'd spend 1 point for a +1 to grapple when both they and their opponent are on the ground, but 1 point in Wrestling would be better spent - you get vastly more for it.

I'd suggest Rapid Retraction (Punch) might be very cat-like, if you are going for the housecat type rather than the big pouncer type. But with Sumo Wrestling and Wrench Limb and Neck Snap, it sounds more like a pouncer type.

Thx for the input, will update Cat-Fu style tomorrow...

We probably should also consider two lenses, the light Catgirl-Fu Lense and the strong Tiger-Fu lense...

Keep the input flowing...

Updated (In post #1)

- Incorporating Peters suggestions
- Added Stealth to the primary skills for a Sneak / Pounce Combo
- Added Roar (Kiai) and Growl (Shtick)
- Kicking was moved to optional techniques, as this style should more represent big pouncing cats
- Added a very short description

Is it wrong that I find hissing growling deadly catgirls sexy?

Yes, report to the nearest termination center immediately, citizen.

Eh, I prefer the "do it yourself" style. And to do it to other people.

I had this idea a while back for a setting where TL4 Humans are the prey and playthings of super tech Catgirls. They made great villains since they would let people escape purely to chase them, thus keeping foolish PCs alive. I really should try and turn that into a setting with this Martial Art now.

1) Seeing Dangerous P. Cats post in the Cat-Fu thread has made me very happy.

2) Catgirls, shmatgirls. Where's the catboys, says I?
