At the time I posted the snark comment about sports, I did (and still) have the opinion that the girl statue did appear, to me, to be wearing an armor sleeve. The statue also gave (and still gives) me the impression of “hidden weapon” in the right hand.

IF I was an appropriately pedigreed archaeologist, I’d proclaim that statue representing a young woman in combative training.

But, I suspect it’s a much much older martial arts form than the one you mentioned. Possibly an original predecessor art form.
