Shadowrun isn't the right system for cinematic martial arts. =) Try the
MEGA-damage or Palladium systems for that. =P (I just like saying that. MEGA
damage. ;P)

That said, for cinematic martial arts, it is all in the roleplaying. Quite a
few times, one of our physical adept martial artist has managed to take down
Trolls, other ma's, and things of that nature on the basis of a single roll.
We have always said that the single roll represents a round of moving
around, kicks, punches, counter kicks, etc.
