I'm trying to get ideas for this myself (I have a couple of maneuvers of
Carromeleg on my WWW site), but I can't remember anything in any rule
books, although one of my players said there was something in one of the
first three SR novels where two characters at Prof Laverty's place face
off and drop into Carromeleg stances -I don't remember it myself though.

I personally see Carromeleg as focussing on speed and agility- perhaps
with similarities to Aikido and Cappoera (sp?), I definitely don't see it
as getting in close with teh target and grappling like Judo.

If you do come up with any decent manuevers please email me them.
