Not a bad idea, but I would think that styles could better be represented
with tricks:
grapple, knockdown for soft-style
knockback, extra damage, etc. for hard-style

In my group (all two of us) I really don't worry too much about the
distinction between fighting and martial arts. If you wanted to you could
say fighting was hard-style and martial arts was soft-style.
