Some people have a weapon of choice. Some people's weapon of choice is no weapon at all. And again others like to specialize even further. This trope is about fighting styles wherein people always use exclusively either their legs or their arms, with rare exceptions. Perhaps it's preference, or perhaps it's just their particular form of martial arts. Most characters of the kicking variety like to include elements of Tae Kwon Do and flashy Capoeira moves, which often makes this overlap with the Dance Battler. The fist-only variety is less common, and is obviously most closely related to boxing. The Kick Chick is a subtrope. A character who uses both hands and feet is a Bare-Fisted Monk.
