I draw my inspiration from action video games and fighting games more often than not. Jana's fighting style is loosely based on Wei Shen's from Sleeping Dogs, a fast combat system with a lot of light punches leading into heavier attacks and a strong emphasis on countering. Jana may not use the latter very much in RP because it'd require the other RPer to let their character get grabbed, but she'll happily do it to NPCs. Speed and reaction time matter more than power, but it isn't as if she's lacking in it; big knockout punches and kicks and Power Geysers Howling Fists wait until the enemy's been suitably knocked off-balance.

(Not the best video, but skip the first few minutes to see how it goes against more than 1 opponent.)

In terms of fighting with weapons, Jana has no real style, but carries what she knows fighting unarmed with her in that it usually boils down to "be fast enough to hit the other guy and not get hit yourself." Like with the fighting style in Sleeping Dogs, there is some martial artistry but a lot of it is improvised movement. She's more than happy to surprise an enemy by throwing out a punch with her shield arm, or swing at them with the butt-end of her spear instead of the tip when they get too close.

And in terms of archery, Jana usually uses a shortbow at short ranges in cramped conditions, so she's more focused on putting out a lot of shots quickly than taking a long time to aim and fire, as with a more powerful longbow. She can fire fairly quickly with a compound bow as well.
