[General] How would a 4 armed alien race's martial arts differ from our own?

4 armed martial artists are common enough in fiction, but when they're depicted fighting their style is usually similar to human martial arts but with more punching. But if a race has 4 arms naturally, how would their technique evolve to best make use of their extra limbs?

I imagine grappling would have a larger focus. Four arms would give plenty more ability to grab one’s opponent, and plenty of opportunities to do damage while grappling. It also means that long-range punching will likely become less-effective, as the alien species has more arms to block more of its body. Considering both of those facts, we’d likely see a more close-range fighting style that prioritizes immobilizing and then repeatedly attacking their trapped opponent. However, things also depend on other factors of their biology.
