Unique/Realistic Fighting Styles

Here's the deal...

It's easy to understand why someone like Batman or Captain America would incorporate leaping and kicking into their fighting styles: beings such as these are bound by gravity. Thus, they have to make the most of momentum and large muscle groups for their most powerful h2h strikes.

But then you have someone like, say, Wonder Woman: someone who can fly. Yet, she often incorporates the same kind of martial art moves as gravity-bound combatants. Why? Where are the martial art moves that would be unique to a gravity-free fighter?

The bigger question: Given a being who is not bound by gravity, what would be a "realistic" fighting style for him/her? What basic principles and moves would such a fighting style entail?

Actually I found DBZ styles to be quite bound. You often see them exchanging normally like the bound by gravity.

I would say that for being that can fly really trying to be fancy is almost stupid.

Basically all you would to be able to do is fly at each other and throw haymakers and jabs in front of you. Kicking would be useless unless your trying counter simple blows or catch someone of guard. Basically fly at them as hard as you can and use a punch backed up by that momentum.

On the smae note on defense should be even simplier. Basically if someone is trying to get into a martial arts match in reality all you have to is fly over there and double hammer. Or just fly to the sides to avoid punches.

Grappling and throws would also be key to help get people confused or turned.

So yeah aireal flight should basically be all about haymakers, quicks jabsgrappling, and trying to manuever around your oppenent

Yeah for me that would be the best way to fight in arieal combat.

Just think about if someone was trying to kick me in say the head. I would fly backwards grab their ankle and throw them into the ground.

Depends on the relative speed of the combatants, look are Goku Vs. Raddich after Goku had finished training. Or JLU Superman Vs. Darkseid speed advantage. speedblitz ftw!!!!

For a humanoid the only advatage that can really be gained in combat from losing the restriction of gravity is dodging and possibly greater momentum for strikes.

Sure you could fight in any position but why bother?

I would agree most of their combat is in the air, and it happens to be martial art type of fighting.
which is why Goku would kick Superman's arse.
