Anyone else thinks it's idiotic that no one seems to know how to fight free-hand???

It just wouldn't be effective. The only thing that can kill monsters is celestial bronze. They wouldn't naturally know Asian free-hand style unless they took lessons in it. They only have an edge in sword and/or archery because they're naturally hardwire to know greek styles. Now, if they had super strength,then it might be और useful. Since 95% of the monsters they fight have super-strength, using swords also helps level the playing field.

Dude for one Greek Gods and warriors never fought free hand. Two: आप wouldn't get even close to a person free hand. AND THREE: I don't like this idea of yours Thx Xscash232-Former Percy Jackson Fan

i kinda see where you're coming from, if demigods are supposed to be natural born fighters, then they should know all fighting styles,not just with weapons. and hey, if आप got a fanfic going then i have an idea for a character that i think is pretty cool, if you're interested.

I totally agree. Greek या not आप should probably know how to fight free style. Me and a friend are making a प्रशंसक fic. it's way और modern and has just enough reallness to it that it sort of makes आप wonder if percy jackson is real.
We're gonna post ch.1 द्वारा march 3rd.Hope आप guys read it it'll be really awesome.

I think it's because the enemy is a freaking monster. To पंच through solid flesh is like... well, not really as tough as punching concrete but still, आप get the point.

To somewhat reiterate what others have said:

#1 - Greeks/Romans never fought free-hand.
#2 - When we're talking para-normal powers, hand-to-hand seems to slow things down.

#3 - Most importantly, it's a book. All the Asian free-hand fight scenes sure look cool in movies. But imagine trying to read about a weaponless fight! It would be lame.

That said, hope आप can write an interesting blow-by-blow account of fight scenes of your character.

Peace.

but there is! in the लॉस्ट hero Jason attacks the king of giants barehanded. okay, after that he takes a sword out of the giants hair and strikes his ear but he was weaponless for an attack time.

No, the only way to kill a monster is with celestial bronze and if they use hand, monsters won't die. But fighting free-hand with a monster would be bold but useless.
