I mean, technically I'm a full contact "foam fighter" but to compare me to an actual fighter would be like comparing a paintball player to a real shooter.
I definitely play Dogberry as more of a heavyweight boxer than anything else, but as he grows he's sure to take on a much broader style. Thinking about the lore and the animalistic style of the stances and forms given in canon, one could make an argument that a Blue Mage style of class that uses enemy attacks could come out of Pugilist. This is pure speculation, with little to back it up, but I can definitely see a martial artist using more animal based forms to perform more complex techniques.
Thank you! I could really see them growing out the class with having a job or class that comes from Pugilist that allows you to get hit by an enemy's attack and "learn" it so you can use it yourself in the future. That would be cool.

In my mind, Zarek is somewhere between Isshin Ryu with some flash from JKD-esque moves thrown in due to his time actually fighting in the arenas.
Thank you as well!
