Would this be an inappropriate style of combat?

A fighter highly skilled in CQC and BJJ, because of his crude personality, usually gropes or grind against his opponent while getting them in awkward positions during submissions (he usually does this to throw them off guard and had admit to enjoy doing so) before breaking their arms and legs in many different angles or just simply knocking them unconscious. For a character archetype, I don't know what this would be.

And yes, he's a villain. A creepy one.

The only thing that comes to mind is "violent sexual offender".

That's practically a rapist.

Well yeah

That sounds hilarious. Do it.

Because implied rape is hilarious, right?

If it suits him as a character (ie he's supposed to be a creepy sleazeball), go ahead. But keep in mind that that's pretty damn creepy, and it paints him as such for the reader.

So grinding and groping your opponent before crippling them is implied rape? I thought of the character as a more brutal Voldo.

@OP idea - Mother of God, it's like there's no filter...

Incredibly so, in fact.

I think that actually depends on how you define 'inappropriate'. Certainly I wouldn't try to paint this character in any kind of positive light, but there's no reason why a villain shouldn't have a nasty fighting style.

Yes, he's a villain, and a creepy one at all. He's basically a more crude version of Travis Touchdown. Or Gauron. Or Voldo.

Why do you need an inappropriate style of combat anyway?

A villain can be class or crude in combat, there's no rule saying that a bad guy can't be Wicked Cultured.

Besides, its not like the Villain will rip of the heads of his defeated foes and shit down their neck right?

• cough* Duke Nukem *cough*

I think is pretty much like an adult version of a character of mine that I usually use on the "What would your character do in the above situation?" forum. He's basically a sociopath and probably he loves to torture people. My character does it because he has a weird kind of synesthesia that turns personalities, voice tones, scents, everything into a taste and a person getting freaked out, for him, tastes like red, juicy apples.

As above tropers have said, it's definitely got some disturbing, and effective characterization potential, but as a combat style it may leave some severe gaps in their defense.

This is not a bad thing- portraying them as someone who lets their desires rule them in such a way, making their combat style less effective in the process, and (perhaps) still being competent despite it, is a completely valid characterization.

Alternatively, it could just be a measure of their confidence in their abilities and their disdain for their opponent.

You know how they say that rape is about power and intimidation, right? Intense sexual harassment runs down the same lines.

It would look something like this

And now I must coin the term "gropler". A portmanteau of "grope" and "grappler".

Pardon me; I feel dirty, and need to go shower now.

I have a villain like that too.

Hector Gibbs is his name. He does it to just about everyone from his victims to Matthew, Sorata, or even Angie...

I can't imagine this being a useful 'style of combat'. More like a quick, cheap way to get a vasectomy.

Maybe this style is just Powered By Perversion.

Just like Tiger Kung Fu is supposed to be all about Aggression, Drunken Master is Confusion and Judo is about Redirection, this style may capitalize on a person's high Libido in place of hostile feelings.

Because realistically, a person can be horny pretty often. Being angry all the time is a bit harder to handdle.

A teenage omni-sexual could be a terror with this style.

@Double G: I find it amusing that you described this character as like "a more inappropriate version" of Gauron. Really, can you get more inappropriate than Gauron...?

(OK, the answer is always "yes." But that doesn't make it any less extreme a choice of comparison.)

I can so see this guy being the Camp Gay.

@20 ...vasectomy?!? Perhaps if your world has FATAL rules for combat or something?

@OP: inapproppriate? That depends entirely on the setting. In our world? Well you have a choir chanting "yes it is" right here. In some other world... I can easily think of a macho culture where you simply didn't win the fight until you've disminished your opponent's manhood and pride by groping and dry-humping them like he was your, eh, bitch.

@ Natasel: Which is what Hector Gibbs is. 19 years old, and he's flirted with / made moves on a pre-op M 2 F Transexual, a pre-op F 2 M Transexual, boys, girls, absurdly human robots, homunculi, ghouls, vampires, crystalline energy constructs, statues, demi-gods, "Chaos" Markhene, and others.

And, with this kind of fighting style, he successfully defeats most of the above.
