I don't think so. Fighting is not something Klingon-specific. Everybody
fights (nearly..) so there probably is a word for 'just fighting' like
animals do, children and other races and there will be more specific words
for special styles: fight like a lion, fight like a Klingon, fight like an
old man, etc. For the more common styles (i.e. fight like a Klingon) there
would be a specific word, not (let's see f I get this right) something like
{thlIngan Suvghach} but apparently {tonSaw'}, just as there is a specific
word for fighting dirty {HIghghach}, which probably originated from fighting
like a ----- (insert name of lesser race/culture}.
