Without pistoleer skills, you'd rarely hit while running into melee range.

Teras Kasi gives you some medical skills, in terms of healing your wounds and diseases after battle. Some argue that Novice Medic is a must, but 9 out of 10 times the damage you heal is taken away immediatly in the next round. You can always try without medical skills, and if you don't like it drop some of your Pistoleer skills and take up Novice Medic again.

I'd go with Pistoleer. My reasoning is based on the fact the Pistoleer shots for the most part are terrible, but the other benefits of the prof (aiming, and accuracy mods) go well with the Smuggler shots. Again the true answer depends on what you want to do. If you want to focus on the unarmed go with master TKA, and dabble into Pistoleer. If you like ranged go the opposite route.
TKM-Master Brawler-Master Smuggler leaves you with 18 points.
Master Pistoleer-Master Smuggler leaves you with 66 points. More than enough to get some good stuff from TKA & Nov Medic.
No matter what I'd suggest keeping Nov Medic and get some BE clothes for med use.
My current template is Master Smuggler-Master Pistoleer-TKA 4314-Nov Medic, and works well in PvE and decent in PvP(in a 1 on 1 fight). Nothing like starting melee & when they start kiting you, changing to pistol & shootingthem in da nutz, then applying a nice unarmed dizzy before they get back up!
