Stylist would need to be fluent (slight accent or less) at Dwarven
language, or be held in more than a little disdain.  In my world
there is also a generic brawling style or three, and Dwarves can
take two styles to make them fearsome bare-handed.  I also do not
use cinematic combat in my fantasy world, but have included the
cinematic portion that seems appropriate-Mental Strength and
Immovable Stance for that stubborn dwarf "tower of iron/sheer
willpower" type who stands immobile despite the best efforts to
move him, and Power Blow primarily for feats of heroic strenth-picking
up the opponent and bodily hurling him 12' or so.  There is a 5
point unusual background for a non-dwarf to start with this, plus
other appropriate skills, the UB climbs for unfriendly races.

If you make a conglomerate style including brawling, etc., Boxing
is probably what you want-stubby legged people would not kick much
anyway.  Then give them Brawling so they can buy down the default
for Head Butt...
