[/b] Strength: C Dexterity: B Constitution: D Wisdom: C
Style: Judo, Karate, Krav Maga Spetsnaz troopers are required to be good at hand to hand combat, and fluid movements. Judo is a disabling fighting style, more meant towards subduing an opponent than it is for hurting or beating someone. Karate is a more offensive, meant at beating an opponent into submission instead of choking or injuring someone with a specific hold like Judo. Karate is used more than Judo is until Boris has closed to a close range.
His focus on Krav Maga is interesting, as its not a required technique for a Spetsnaz trooper. Signing up to be in a specific training sequence for this as an observational test for the Russian military, Krav maga focusses on quick offensive strikes meant at disabling an opponent as quickly as possible, with little harm to its practitioner. It also has a component of weapon fighting, turning whatever is at hand into a deadly weapon through blunt strikes and otherwise 'dirty' techniques, such as below the belt hits and off handed strikes. Weaknesses: He's just not as strong as others. He spent more time honing in his abilities with weapons and his driving ability and less time with strengthening his muscles. This is not to say that he is weak; no Spetsnaz trooper is weak. Strengths: He knows how to disable an opponent as well as use whatever is at hand to fight. He is not too honorable to pick up a local weapon (piece of wood, broken glass, whatever at hand) to defeat his opponent, and is trained in disarming and disabling an enemy instead of killing them.[/ul]

Just need a proper explanation of Boris' figting style in relation to the three named styles and you should be set. Reason why I ask is simple: most roleplayers won't know the specifics of those three styles, and no one who is reading the biography will understand how Boris brings these three styles together. So please write a paragraph clearing that up and we'll be set.
