Self Defense and Martial Arts in TS4
I was walking outside last night, and as I passed through the city, female, an idea occurred to me. We don't have self dense or martial arts in TS4 yet. In TS3 you could learn martial arts in china, if you kick the doll long enough. And I was just thinking that there should be something like that in TS4.
With the different cultures we've gotten in game recently, and since City Living came out, we could definitely do something with the various martial arts of different cultures. Like Karate, Tai Chi, Capoeira, etc. We have a dancing skill, and skills related to supernatural stuff. In the supe stuff, you level up and gain new actions. Somewhere between those two, and the wellness skill, or all 3 together would work well for this.
And I think Self Defense should be another skill/martial art. You could have clubs like this. It could help you fend off vampires looking for a snack. It could go with the vampire hunting/supe hunting, options I mentioned in my previous thread.
It could be an aspiration (Self defense and martial arts each). You could want to become a Master Martial Artist, an MMA fighter, or a Self Defense Guru/Coach. It could line up with Wellness and be something you learn in dogos, or a community center option, or even a tai chi class at one of the spas. I think it'd be a really cool idea. And go with the new after-school options we're finally getting. Like the scouts. Maybe it'd even lead to us seeing after-school option in real time. Like the babysitting job, and we could actually go with them. Families could come to cheer their kids on. There could be contests. And maybe that would lead to other contests being created, like strongman/sim contests.
I think it would be pretty cool. And really easy to add to your storytelling.
