Kareel-ifla was a martial art known amongst the Vulcan species. Created many millenia ago when Vulcan suffered a more violent time in its history. Kareel-ifla was best described as the Vulcan equivalent of Karate and focused on the quick as well as direct application of force in order to end a fight as quickly as possible. Due to its unsavoury origins, it was often considered quite brutish to modern Vulcans. Despite this being the case, practitioners of the art were quite formidable and effective in combat allowing them to fight against such opponents such as Klingons and Nausicaans.
