“

Pugilists are warriors who practice traditional martial arts. Their trained fists and feet possess strength beyond that of ordinary people, and when equipped with fist weapons, they become even more formidable, even capable of doubling their destructive power. Since armor hinders body movement, pugilists always go into battle lightly equipped. While their defense is reduced, their enhanced flexibility and attack power will make any enemy tremble.
