Re: Paladin Martial Art?
Good on the disarm. I envision paladin martial arts to have an emphasis on subdual, as you say, so disarms, throws, and perhaps grabs are in order. Maybe a choke hold, and on the defensive side, I'd picture paladins as preferring to block rather than dodge.
I don't envision paladins as being heavy brawlers, so I'd deemphasize kicks and strikes, as well as any maneuver that would result in the paladin rolling around on the ground in an undignified manner.
