Grab-Fu is the nickname to the unarmed combat system. Grabbing a target opens up a whole range of hostile options, albeit from a mere one-tile range.

Passive and Aggressive Grabs

The GRAB intent by default grabs with a passive intent - that is to say with no intention of causing harm. This is good for transporting injured characters without causing additional wounds (as opposed to pulling them). Grabbing a player this way also occupies the hand used, meaning that it cannot be used to wield weapons.

A passive grab can be upgraded to an aggressive grab by activating the grabbing hand (default key: Z). Aggressive grabs can be chained into hostile actions such as throwing or choking out a target. Activating an aggressive grab again chains it into a neck grab/stranglehold.

Special Moves

Certain combinations of attacks can have additional utility besides causing damage. Nearly all of these can be started from a successful aggressive grab on a target.
