What's a good name for a far future fictional kind of martial art?

Thanks for all the previous answers - unfortunately it turns out there's already a martial art called Tetsudo. Torai Tetsu might work, but it might also be a little long - I can't think of any martial arts with a two word unhyphenated name right now, though I'm sure someone else could. Meanwhile, any extra suggestions? The original question follows, referring to a far future martial art:

I don't know enough to describe this art in detail, and its probably not possible to have all of these at once, but it was designed to benefit an entire planet rather than one group at the expense of another.

Ideally, it would be relatively easy to take someone down without injuring them (especially in an unequal combat), healthy to practice with a minimum of injuries but good exercise, useful against all unarmed combat styles in the real world, and even useful against armed opponents in the right circumstances.

Its been suggested to me the form might be related to both Jui Jitsu and Tai Chi.

I'd like an oriental sounding name, if possible with a real meaning.

That's easy...

Vidyā Capoeira or Capoeira Veda ... whichever rolls off the tongue and resonates in the ear the best.

Capoeira from Brazilian style Jiu Jitsu that is supposed to minimized body injury while immobilizing an opponent, and Vidyā or Veda from the Indian Sanskrit term for knowledge, often used in the context of fighting.
