Talking about PF 2nd ed there is; Basic, expert, MA, Assassin, and 'no h2h'. All in the core book.

Maybe it was with the barbarian text in Northern hinterlands...or the ¿Byzantium? book?

Greetings and Salutations. There's a HtH: Wild in Rifter 40 on page 35. This is part of the Walk on in the Wild Side Part II article (for PF2 Barbarians from Northern Hinterlands). As a Rifter article, this is Unofficial material. Hope some of that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.

There is also H2H Gladiator and the Monk specific one (pacifist h2h).
Gladiator one is in High Seas.

Wasn't there also a "Hand to Hand: Janissary" in Western Empire?

Character class: yes. H2h skill: nope,...unless it is buried in the city descriptions.

Greetings and Salutations. Not to my knowledge. The only official Hand to Hand included in Palladium Fantasy 2nd Edition are ...

None
Basic
Expert
Martial Arts
Assassin
Evasive Combat (Book 2: Monk Scholar)
Gladiator (Book 3: Gladiator)
Skudasa (Book 9: Gosai race)

There is a Hand to Hand Combat: Janissary in a Rifter, but that's for Rifts (Rifter 28, page 79, part of The CS Janissary Project). The Western Empire Janissary ( Book 8 ) just gets HtH: Martial Arts, along with additional combat bonuses as part of the O.C.C. There are also a variety of additional Hand to Hand in various Rifters (I don't believe any are official, but that doesn't make them bad).

Sounds fun. I only noted the status so players can be sure to ask their G.M. for permission and/or Game Masters may want to look it over for balance and such. In the end, I hope you really enjoy and have a great game!
