Welcome aboard, Fox! The Guild is definitly a good place to test your own system (most of the guild has become very familiar with my own "Dice-Works" system) I'm fond of GURPS' system and I'm familiar with the Star Wars you mention and prefer it over the d20 version. I'm actually not a huge fan of D20 in genral, but it has its place.
As far as CQC... its not a martial art per se, but rather a mode of tactics. The Metal Gear series erroniously refers to this as a martial art but actual CQC is conducted from a tactical stand point. using small unit tactics and refering to combat purly in a sence of being in an area where space is limited. ie: Close Quarters. Any Close Combat defensive or offensive art is considered "close Quarters" in a hand to hand and melee sense. Cool that you use that sort of style tho.
That said the Guild also has an airsoft team, and has a few WWII afficianados... including myself. Also its fair share of martial artists and former military personel, so I think you'll fit right in. You're our first Parkour practioner I do believe..... unless you count some of our younger days.. but back then it was just called "jumping off of things that may very well kill you" XD
Also love the fact that you ran a Mystery campaign. always wanted to run something like that. Possibly in a pulp fantasy setting. Nothing like having the Chicago Mafia run by Halflings.

Only one objection: CQC in the modern (eg, Metal Gear sense) is a very different beast. I misused the acronym, its Fairbairn-Sykes Close Quarters Attack Training, but it got called CQC after its appearance in MGS3. Really more of a knife-fighting style. Sorry 'bout that.
I think I also misused the term 'mystery campaign'. I meant that as in "a campaign high in mystery," not an established genre. But i do like the idea of a Halfling mafia... Thats gonna get used...
