Punches, kicks, elves of the gladius, and istigating the opponent ... it seems more a wrestler than a hero, but it seems fun to use XD.....

Historically speaking, European martial arts very closely resembled wrestling in a lot of ways. You should watch some of the videos online depicting proper swordsmanship and use of a halberd/poleaxe.

Also what people refer to as the Centurion's "glove" or "hand", since he's only carrying a gladius and nothing in his off hand. The proper term is a Caestus. A fortified "boxers glove", often with some kind of studs or spikes or something to make the punch more damaging to the person on the receiving end.

Indeed, lots of wrestling and bare hands techniques come from pugilat (antique boxing), pankration and antique wrestling.
But the cestus wasn't used by centurions. It was used by gladiators, in pure pugilistic encounters, or in mixed encounters, where the only type of gladiator which used it was the ... Cestus (often slaves and low rank gladiatords, even if it could be effectivelmy destructive in trained hands). and only that, in pair, with no gladius.

Said centurion, regarding his fighting style, the way he moves, his body and corporal expression, looks far more like a gladiator entrertaining the crowd for the sake of bloodthirst, than what you can imagine from a military and a strategic chief that leads campaigns that could make or dislocate empires.

I think it's this point particulary that annoy some players (and the fact that some of us expected him to also wear a scutum).

agreed, he should have been called "Gladiator" not Centurian. even his face masks and the non use of a shield makes me feel more like a pit fighter than a military soldier
