It's even fairly easily possible for Infernals.
I mean, I could build an Infernal character without any major holes in their capabilities using only Revlid's SWLIHN rewrite and his Isidoros, Elloge, and Metagaos - and my Oramus.
I mean, hell, Isidoros, She Who Lives in Her Name, Elloge, Metagos, Oramus - that's five Yozis. That's the same number as in the Infernals core.
Maybe post something to that effect in the thread? I'd been wondering what happened to it.

There's a martial art explicitly created to honor and emulate the Unconquered Sun, so sure, totally.
In general, it's plausible to build a martial arts style based on pretty much any concept that exists in Creation. (And for stuff that doesn't exist in Creation, there are other worlds.) 2E gave us an animal style emulating an entirely hypothetical animal, and 3E has a style based on beating people with a ladder ready for inclusion at an appropriate point. Go wild.
Already a thing, actually. And since Cannibalistic Renewal Incitement is in Medicine, you can use it on other people too.
Although the long pork has to be fresh for it to work. Which is annoying as hell for both the inconvenience, since it's a lot harder to reliably lay hands on someone who won't fight back much and you won't need later than it is to just make some jerky whenever you have a spare corpse and keep it on hand for when someone's injured, and the thematic stuff, because most of the fun stuff to do with cannibalism involves meat that's been dead for a bit.

what about medicine?
But anyway, must martial arts involve large-scale movements? Must it always involve fighting?

Yes. Martial arts must always involve fighting.

Aw, man.
But it's based on basically emulating something in Creation to fight better, right?
What if you emulate something without fighting? What's it called?

Not necessarily. Unless you stretch the definition of "emulating something" so that First Pulse is emulating "guy who's really good at street fighting." Exalted martial arts are just codified forms of combat. They always involve fighting because that's what they are. They're defined by the fighting. They have no shared identity beyond the fighting.

Social Martial Arts. Or the end result of a Sidereal creating a MA collaboratively with Oramus and Elloge. Granted, that better describes the origin of a social MA made to emulate impossible languages that are paradoxical and self-contradictory, to the point where the only reason those who hear it used don't go permanently insane is the fact that the user is intentionally butchering the grammar to prevent reality from shitting a brick and having the Engine of Extinction take a look at you from the potential future it lives in for having such a lovely voice.

Exaltation.
If you want to emulate Isidoros or Elloge without fighting, become an Infernal Exalt.

Can you do it without exaltation?

No. For rather obvious reasons.
(Hint; its in the title of the game.)

Alright fine.
Though I still think you can... nvm
Jade Mountain style means you can still emulate things using terrestrial martial arts.........
Maybe something else?
...are you reading the responses people are giving you? Jade Mountain style, while yes is imitating the strength of the Imperial Mountain is a martial art that is good for standing strong against assault and applying the crushing power of the Earth. It has fighting built into it.

Fine then. Sorry. Just found myself confused out by the whole martial arts thing.

... It had the word Martial in it. It means related to combat.
By the way, @EarthScorpion, why don't you like Jarish?
Jen Art: Revlid's Punsovi/Kervoni
Yugash is the nation they made into a hamfisted God's America metaphor (from a slightly-less hamfisted, recovering post-WWII America metaphor), complete with unnecessary Christ-figure. Jarish is the small and hidebound nation of devout believers, more akin to Rome/the Vatican, which got turned into equal parts Paris the City of Love and Suicide Forest Japan.
Traditional art done in a classical-evocative style is always really cool to see in execution, nice job on that!
