Here's a question I've been pondering for some time. Which Martial Art does Kurt Wimmer practice? I'm pretty certain he has some kind of background in the martial arts world, not only from the fact he was able to develop one from scratch (albiet a fantasy based art), but also from various commenteries and interviews, such as MJ's statement in her recent interview that Kurt's skill with Martial Arts contributed to his ability to direct and understand action. So, what does Kurt do? And Gun-Kata is not a valid answer

My take: Kendo and Tai chi.
Just imagine someone practising Tai chi, place a couple of guns, speed up the process and you got the perfect Gun Kata.

Yeah, I can certainly see him having some sword training, what with both EQ and UV featuring Katana fights. Kendo, Kenjitsu or Ia-jitusu. I'm sure he must have weapons training of some form because he conceptualised Gun-Kata along the same lines as one would use a close combat weapon i.e as an extension of the body.
I think he might have Kali training as well, as that seems to be a recurring EQ-UV motiff.

I suppose I meant REAL martial arts as Gun-Kata, much as we'd all love it to be, ain't real. He might well regularly practice it though. After all, he invented it!
