These are the four skill groups associated to with the Body attribute. During character creation a player decides whether their character will focus on Body or Soul. Each sub-attribute has eight associated skills which the stat governs. Character classes are built with a focus towards one particular stat. So there will be two classes which are strength focused, two which are agility focused, two which are toughness focused, two character classes which are grace focused and so forth. While a player can develop their character's skills outside of their class focus the class will tend to do those things best.
Every stat has its associated unarmed combat skills and a weapon skill. This allows what typically might represent weaker character types (scientists...merchants) to have their own particular weapon and unarmed combat style of choice. In RSE I want to steer away from min-max to some degree. A Grace stat based Aristocrat with Savate / Fencing and Small Arms - Lasers is just as dangerous in a character to character encounter as an Agility based Flying Ace with Kung-Fu or T'ang-su and Small Arms - Pistols.
