What Guru said. I can go on with lengthy ramblings detailing my approach to RP combat - but it's a much more efficient process when there's actual questions to answer or at least some sort of topic that needs to be explained.

Also, is nobody gonna go hand-to-hand? I mean, if you need teaching to be done, i'm already offering my help on understanding a purist brawler approach, reccomendations on character build included.
