Help me build a martial arts themed team /vp/

I'm using:

Hitmonlee (Taekwondo)
Hitmonchan (Boxing)
Sawk (Karate)
Throh (Judo)
Hitmontop (Capoeira)
Mienshao (Kung-Fu)

Yes, I know it's a bad team of mediocre pokemon that are all the same monotype.

Help me think up some decent movesets that embody the fighting styles they represent.

Post your themed teams as well.

Hitmonchan should have Feint, Fake Out, Sky Uppercut and Mach Punch.

No it's not a good set, but I think it has a pretty "Boxing" feel to it.

I've come across similar teams on Showdown, but I still like my Aerodactyl, Tyrantrum, Bastiodon, Rampardos, Aurorus, and Archeops dinosaur team

Circle Thow, Reversal, Facade and Storm Throw would embody Judo pretty well

>Machamp

Pro-wrestling isn't a martial art, but other forms of wrestling are incorporated into martial arts.

>Blaziken

Muay Thai/kickboxing? It uses both punches and kicks.

>Gallade
>Chesnaught

Knight/warrior. Martial arts incorporates weapons as well.

>Infernape
>Pangoro
>Conkeldurr
>Scrafty

Brawlers. Not really martial artists. I could be wrong about Infernape. I don't know if Son Goku in Journey To The West had some sort of specific style or if he just smashed the shit out of everyone with his strength and magic.

>Hawlucha

More pro-wrestling than even Machamp. Hawluca is the high-flyer type. Machamp is more of a grappler.

>Medicham

Kind of a monk I guess?

>Lucario

Well Bulbapedia says it's possibly a boxer, since boxing has origins in Egypt.

OP should run an Aegislash, Eviolite Doublade, Absol, or Zangoose to give him some type variation.

I considered Blaziken for Muay Thai, because I love the style, but that bumps the team up to Uber and they'll be slaughtered.

I should add that I'm open to amendments on the pokemon, I just like these guys cause they're clearly designed with a style in mind.

Those are all pretty good, I really like that throh, embodies using the opponents weight and momentum like Judo should.

Hitmonlee @ Wide Lens

High Jump Kick
Low Kick
Double Kick
Bounce

I mean, it's Taekwondo, it's all about jumping around, throwing crazy kicks until you get KO'd

Machamp knows ALL martial arts in one of his entries, so there's that.

Greninja isn't even Fighting-type.
Toxicroak = Krav/Knife-Fighting

Yeh, Ninja's weren't warriors, they were assassins, you can kill someone without knowing how to fight, the myth of ninja as hyper-capable fihters is just that, a myth.

>because Machamp learning a lot of Karate-based moves and other moves that draw inspiration from other martial arts isn't good enough for you
>because you think wrestling isn't a form of martial art

you're losing a lot in ignoring other fighting types anon

It's not a myth. They trained in regular martial arts of the day like other warriors. Fuck, Togakure-ryu was invented by a samurai.

Ninja fought directly, if ordered to. They were *mercenaries*, not just assassins.

Not mediocre, but can't carry that team on its own.
