You can repartner for the martial arts event now that it has been revealed.

You are strongly encouraged to do the rolls one at a time, since opportunity spends might affect your rolls.

Also, is fatigue being inflicted with these throws as per normal unarmed strikes? It's not a skirmish, but it's not just doing unarmed kata by oneself, so that wasn't clear

Honor is the Ideal * Glory: Unremarkable Retainer * Status: 30 * CP: 16

Commonly worn: Clothes!; wakizashi with crab tsuba; small knife; scroll satchel--tied closed with blue & brown kumihimo braid and dangling apricot pit netsuke; elaborately woven ribbon tying up her hair; a jade necklace carved into a Badger head, carved wooden charms of crab and moth looped around a wrist with lavender ribbon.

Does the "Quick reflexes" advantage apply to some rolls here, all of the rolls or none of them?

So, as I understand it:
No stance bonus
These rolls do not count as an "Attack action" for the purpose of abilities/techniques

However, can the default opportunities for Martial Checks be used? Though there are only two that could be relevant here:

The relevant ones are:
1Opportunity symbol (Air): Add a bonus Opportunity symbol result to your next Martial skill check.
2Opportunity symbol (Earth): Do not apply one of your disadvantages to checks until the end of your next turn.

So, just to clarify, because 5E is fucking weird... does Bishamon's Blessing apply only to Water rolls? (Not gonna ask if it applies at all, since Unarmed Comabt is a specific example listed in the description :P )
Phoenix Clan * Bushi * Soldier* Blunt * Cynical * Seasoned * Strong
Your Wingman Anytime, Whether You Want It Or Not
Glory: 42 * Honor 41 * Status: 30
Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.
