 Combat Hapkido
Master Acevedo has attended various seminars and trained with the creator of "Combat Hapkido", Grand Master John Pellegrini and has also participated in the basic course of PDTI (Police Defense Tactics Institute) that specializes in defense techniques for officers of Law and Order.
The tactics and techniques learned in Combat Hapkido are applied with fluidness, but very dynamically using the less amount of force possible, which makes this style easy to learn for men and women.
Combat Hapkido is ideal for parents that want to protect their loved ones, spouses that want to protect themselves against domestic violence, people that work night shifts, officers of law and order, high school and college students and all citizens that like to feel safe and comfortable when walking on the streets.

 James Bond Rules in Traveller - Modifications to the Personal Combat Rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
A draw is generally made at the start of the combat round to determine the order of action, but there is nothing to preclude the GM from stating what the order of action will be if that is appropriate to the situation.
The original JB combat rules were designed to account for the weapons technology available in 1985 in the James Bond milieu.
Likewise, the Traveller universe provides for increased personal protection in the form of Battle Dress, Combat Armour etc. While personal armour is available in JB it is, once again, clearly inadequate in the face of the expanded scope of the Traveller universe.

 WingTsun Australia - Self defence training for bodyguards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Even in the case of a would-be assassin armed with a handgun, for example the attempt on the life of former US President Ronald Reagan, the use of a firearm is often inappropriate.
As soon as the threat materialises the client must be screened by the bodyguard using his entire body width, however the majority of martial arts favour an angled pre-fight stance to offer the opponent a smaller target area.
The need is therefore for a martial art which is effective whatever the strength and size of the opponent, and which also makes it possible for protection personnel measuring less than 2.00 metres and weighing less than 130 kg to overcome an attacker.

Characters perform personal combat actions in order of their Agility, modified by the current weapon’s Speed (this can result in negative numbers in particularly slow characters), highest going first.
While quite capable of reaching such speeds, combat would be impossible as the fighters would only be visual range for a couple of seconds at the most, taking visual range to be a few kilometres at best.
