 ===Jaia===
+The origins of this art come from the southern, Sez Toural Polar Regions of Leya-I. It utilizes fast, harsh strikes from any limb. Fists, elbows, forearms, knees, calves, feet. It's quite similar in most respects to ancient Terran KFM. It's designed to be used in tight confined spaces where one doesn't have room for more traditional fighting styles. Though it was originally intended to be used by climbers who came under attack while hanging from the side of a mountain and who needed to keep one handhold and or foothold in order to not fall from great heights.
+Unlike Sore, which relies on a singular kick to end a fight. Jaia seeks to overwhelm an opponent with a dizzying array of strikes to the chest, head and occasionally legs. While the hits can be quite powerful, enough to dislocate a jaw, blind, or otherwise disorient an opponent, often it's used in conjunction with other martial arts when an enemy has gotten too close for Sore. Jaia's intense volley's of close strikes often give incentive for an attacker to retreat to a safer distance if possible.
+Some of Jaia's practice movements borrow from aspects of Klingon Mok'bara, so many practitioners of the art are also skilled in or masters of Mok'bara as well.
+In recent generations, a few have taken to adding in techniques to use climbing ropes as apart of the art. Giving the user momentum with their strikes when swinging. It's risky, as there's a chance that ropes can become frayed and snap when caught on jagged rocks.
+There is no set location one can learn Jaia from, though there are bi-annual festivals that happen concurrently to the two largest Sez Toural mountaineering competitions that run for several months. During which time, masters of the art offer to instruct anyone willing to learn. Concluding with a sparring match with their Tai're (Sensei) several thousand feet up on the side of a mountain.
