 What unites all Pugilists, regardless of their approach, is an unshakable belief in the supremacy of hand-to-hand combat. Whether they fight with grace, precision, or sheer force, the Pugilist has learned to overcome the disadvantages of facing armed enemies. Through resilience, speed, and a keen understanding of combat tactics, they can turn the tide of battle, exploiting the weaknesses of opponents who rely too heavily on weapons. For the Pugilist, there is no greater satisfaction than proving that, with nothing but their fists, they can take on any foe and emerge victorious. What unites all Pugilists, regardless of their approach, is an unshakable belief in the supremacy of hand-to-hand combat.
