hand to hand combat?

Been thinking of adding in some hand to hand combat weapons in. Not quite sure the route I should take because I don't know what my limits are. Looking for some general advise and feedback on this before starting it.
Should it be stuff like fans, disk, and wrist blades? If so then it would end being a new weapon type and could use existing sword animations. Is there a tutorial available for doing this? A problem I can see happening is the size of the weapon. The classes have different size hands, so they would look huge on the vanquisher.
Is it possible to add in new animations to existing player classes? This could be taken to the next step and have some kicks or more punching animations. If this is possible, then stuff like brass knuckles and claws could be done. Once again the size of the weapon in the hand could be an issue.
Any help and advise for this is much appreciated

However not sure if it's still WIP...
Guy whose fist weapons jadewah linked here are using sword animation I think.

Never enough.
So be sure to learn even more than they teach.
But seriously.
There are several schools of thought on the nature of hand to hand.
One says in the dark fighting an enemy hand to hand it's best to know what moves your own side knows best. That way you'll shoot / stab less of your own, thinking your side has no "fighting style".
Thanks....
Brass knuckles is the perfect weapon in hand to hand combat, for sure this is an effective weapon in that kind of combat.
