Sleeping Dogs

The easiest and fastest way to defeat every martial arts challenge (and to win every hand to hand fight in the game) is to use the "leg breaker" B,X,X(hold) and "rib breaker" (B,B on a stunned opponent from behind) combo together. This incapacitates the two most common types of enemies instantly (the basic thug and the brawler) and it can't be interrupted after the first grab (B).

To get the leg breaker, you need to find two statues for the martial arts master (you need to do his training quest first). The two nearest is in Winstons restaurant (Most Main Mission early in the game) and in the Bam Bam club (Main Karaoke Mission), the leg breaker is in the bottom row. You know the rib breaker without any upgrades.

What you need to do:
After a fight starts push the analog stick in the direction of the nearest common enemy and grab him (B), this is the only time you need to wach out for counter. So just push the B then put your thumb on the Y. Wei has a great reach so you don't need to mash B anyway. If you successfully grabbed him then you're safe, no one will attack you till you finish! Then go for the X, X(hold), the opponent falls to his knees. Now you need to push the analog stick in his direction again and mash B,B. While Wei starts to break his ribs you can rotate the camera around to search for another victim. Repeat.

Don't forget, the only time you need to watch out for counters is when you go for the first grab. This combo let's you safely eliminate most opponents usually leaving you with only a few slow thugs. They can be defeated easily with the X,X,X(hold) attack. Just mash the X twice and watch out for attacks (the reason why you don't go just for the strong attacks is because you can't counter properly while doing it and if the opponent didn't attack for two X they will not for a while). There is 4 things that can happen during the first X,X
Red attack: Y
Grab below waist: mash Y
Grab above waist: B
Grab from behind: (X if there is an opponent in front of you), mash Y

This way you don't even need (health) upgrades and most fights is just you breaking peoples legs and ribs while the opponents watching and doing nothing 8)

This achievement requires you to win all the martial arts clubs. There are 4 one for each district. They are marked on the map with two boxing gloves. You have to survive 6 waves each of enemies. I'd recommend waiting til you have some melee and health upgrades as they can be a bit difficult.

UKGamingBureau take you on a very simple guide to getting this achievement. We show you how to find each one so if you are having issues with the Central one this will clear all that up for you.

Each of the 4 sections of the map have their own Martial Arts Club, marked on the map by two orange gloves. Go to each of these and talk to the guy with the yellow conversation bubble above him.

The most important part for me was to attack one guy at a time, then when another enemy started glowing red, I would counter it. It's even possible to beat them all just on counter-attacks.

My strategy was to go for the bigger guys first, the ones that like to grapple you. Those guys were the most annoying and typically did the most damage. They don't block your attacks so feel free to go haywire, just be weary of the other guys. USE YOUR COUNTERS!

For the guys with taped-up wrists that block almost every hit, make sure to use grapple attacks because they don't counter those. They just block the basic attacks.

Then you got the regular skinny-looking dudes who are pretty easy to beat. They eat every attack you throw at them, so I'd focus on these guys last.

A big advantage I had was finding all the health shrines, thus having a double health bar, however this achievement can still be completed relatively easily without the boost.

Hope this helped!
