Description
Rarity will....damn, I got nothing.....haha! bet y'all never saw this one coming! oh, and long description coming, but I suggest y'all read it.
okay, let me explain. I was trying to figure out what form would rarity practice, and one keyword keeps popping in my head: gracefulness.
now, I remembered watching somewhere once about a form of martial art that is said to be the precursor to tae kwan do, but I can't remember it's name. all I remembered was how beautiful and graceful the movements were. so I did some searching, and I've found it!
taekkyeon (or taekkyon/taekyon/taekgyeon), said to be one of the oldest form of martial arts in Korea, dating back to the 3 kingdoms era. a discipline with movements that are beautiful, graceful, and...dare I say...fabulous!!
here's some links with more info on taekkyeon:

Makes sense in context, though Tai Chi might have some up--though Granny Smith might use that one for longevity and health purposes more.

Personally, I actually think a China dress would fit her better for whatever Chinese martial art she would take. Like this one , maybe.

heheh, I did consider that, but then I thought "hmm, why not go with something...obscure..."
then again, rarity in a cheongsam is hot....

Though not so much a hand-to-hand martial arts, I expected her to use Iaido with a katana.

Another one I had to look up (thanks for the links!). It seems to fit Rarity to a T. I also love the fact that even her combat outfit is stylish! Another great work!

This reminds me of Final Fantasy V where Faris was sporting a similar outfit for the Monk job.
