All unarmed combat techniques call for the '''Martial arts''' [[Skills|combat skill]]. Like other melee weapon skills, Unarmed Martial arts has its own range of [[Weapons#Melee weapon modes|maximum attacks per turn]], which varies depending on skill level.
At the core of unarmed combat are the two basic melee attacks, the '''punch''' and the '''kick'''. These basic moves are the "weapons" of unarmed combat, and may be selected alongside a target and an amount of attempted attacks, just like any other weapon. It is possible to attempt multiple basic punches or kicks, depending on your skill level and corresponding max attacks per turn, but it is not possible to mix basic punches and kicks in the same turn.
