When you reach character level 2, you may choose a fighting style. Once this fighting style hits level 20, you can pick a second style. You can switch your fighting style at any time, but it will reset to level 1.

Leveling up fighting styles:

• Level 1-5: 1 battle completed or complete 4 spars.
• Level 6-10: 1 battle completed or complete 6 spars.
• Level 11-100: 2 battles completed or complete 8 spars.

You can also gain a fighting style level for every 4 consecutive weeks of training with a master for stats. Keep in mind leveling a FS from one method (spar, battle, training) doesn't reset your counters toward the next level for something else (e.g. leveling up based on spars doesn't wipe out any battles you had toward the next level) and if you have two styles you pick which to level.
