Barbarian. What you're describing is a Barbarian that uses brawling for a primary weapon.

Naaah, everyone knows theres a difference between FURY and RAGE and BESERK and FIRE of a Barbarian who wields his weapons as a force of nature, and the calm, focused, and refined art of channeling your inner spirit to strike at the enemies weaker points. It is comparing ROCK LEE to Neji/Hinata, almost literally. :P

I think you need to do some more research on Barbarians.

It is not a perfect fit, but have you considered the monks of the crystal hand?

It's all in how you play it. I'm fairly sure that you could make the kind of character you're describing, using a Barbarian as a template, by simply not using berserks. In any case, the last new guild required years of dedicated development to create, so the chances of a Monk guild coming around any time soon is pretty much exactly zero. If you want to play this monk-stylized character you're envisioning anytime in the next decade, you're going to have to do it within the existing guild structures.

I think he needs to do any research on them, honestly.

The name is deceptive (and harks back to ancient game design), barbarians are currently just 'fighters'. Berserks are a tiny fraction of their abilities.

Or I just have to make a suggestion about it, and lo and behold in some years maybe it will come about.

Monks of the Crystal Hand. They can even do that jump up from prone thingy that all the real monks do.

Most of the time when I try that I strain my neck. But it looks cool, so I keep doing it.
