With sufficient training, certain cinematic skills and techniques might work in reality. You've studied one of these. Unusual Training lets you buy a cinematic capability in a realistic campaign, or without a prerequisite advantage such as Gunslinger, Trained by a Master, or Weapon Master. Since what’s "cinematic" is often not the feat but the ability to perform it unrestricted, the perk might specify a set of "believable" circumstances that must be true to use the skill or technique.

Examples:

Tameshiwari – realistic breaking techniques – is Unusual Training (Breaking Blow, Only vs. well-braced objects out of combat).
Unusual Training (Dual-Weapon Attack, Both attacks must target the same foe): Lets you improve the Dual-Weapon Attack technique for use on one opponent. You still have the full -4 to attack adjacent adversaries simultaneously.
Unusual Training (Musical Influence, Only on tame pets): Lets you be a snake-charmer.
