 Unless there's a good reason, **YAGS** tries to keep similar skills which would realistically be all known by a particular type of character as a single skill. For example, //Brawl// covers punching, kicking, wrestling and dodging - few characters would be interested in learning only one of these and not others, and it's fairly realistic to bunch all such abilities together. Exotic martial arts also come off //Brawl// - anyone specialised in such things is going to be good at //Brawl// as well, so it makes sense for them to be a specialisation of the broader skill.
-In fact, all combat skills are heavily simplified. There is a single //Melee// skill which covers all melee weapons not covered by //Brawl//. //Throw// covers rocks, spears and grenades. //Guns// covers all forms of personal firearms. However //Bow// and //Crossbow// are different skills.

 Likewise, //Science// is a single skill which covers everything from particle physics to genetics. Obviously, this is a broad range of subjects and it's unrealistic to have a single skill cover everything. This is where Techniques come in.
