For some reason YouTube has been feeding me goose videos lately, like this one and this one. So as an offering to the GURPS gods for the not-upcoming bestiary, I present this martial art (to go together with my earlier Cat Fighting Style).

Geese are very protective of their goslings, and will use Acting to fool people into thinking they've broken a wing, only to fly away at the last second. If that fails, they will bite, whack with their wings, and fly into people. them. Since they weigh up to 15 lbs. and can fly at speeds up to 40 mph (Move 20), that's quite a punch. Geese have been known to knock over people and break bones.
When fighting other geese, they will bite and whack with their wings.
Cinematic geese, like the Nordlondr skelfileg gæs can have access to skills like Flying Leap and Power Blow.These geese are bred for combat, and betting on geese fights is a popular pastime in Nordlondr settlements.It is said that the wizard Skolle Gaesfadhr had such a goose as a familiar, and they fought together, the goose distracting his enemies while he was casting spells.

Skills: Aerobatics, Brawling, Intimidation, Sumo Wrestling.
Techniques: Evade, Eye-Pluck (with beak).
Cinematic Skills: Flying Leap, Kiai, Power Blow.
Cinematic Techniques: Flying Jump Kick, Springing Attack.
Perks: Aerobatic Feints, Alternative Training (Can use Flying Jump Kick with Brawling), Biting Mastery, Iron Beak, Penetrating Honk, Trademark Move (Flying Jump Kick to the torso).

Optional Traits
Advantages: Acute Sense (Vision), Ally Group (gaggle), Extra Attack 1, Higher Purpose (Defend goslings), Unfazeable (Only when protecting goslings, -60%).
Disadvantages: Bad Temper (brooding season), Dependents (goslings).
Skills: Acting, Flight, Karate, Survival.
