			The many refinements of hand-to-hand combat have
			produced thousands of martial art styles, from brutal Greek
			pankration to sublime t’ai chi. You pursue one or more of these
			disciplines, so your fighting techniques are more effective than
			simple punches and kicks.

			In game terms, the Martial Arts Skill reflects hard-won
			expertise in some combat form. Because of the intense training,
			specific techniques, and discipline involved, this Skill must be
			learned through practice and taught by a teacher who’s skilled
			in the same martial arts form you pursue. A savate teacher, after
			all, can’t teach you drunken-monkey kung fu.

			In return, this Skill grants access to a variety of special
			combat maneuvers described in the '''''Combat''''' section of '''Chapter'''
			Nine. An accomplished martial artist can also use her practice
			to focus magickal Effects: powerful strikes, healing techniques,
			Mind-based powers, and so on. (See the '''''Martial Arts''''' entries in
			'''Chapter Nine''', pp. 423-426 and '''Chapter Ten''', pp. 580-581.)
			And because martial arts involve scientific applications, and
			are very much a part of accepted reality, Technocrats often use
			them too. If it’s good enough for Agent Smith, after all, then
			any good Technocrat can employ such arts!

			In real life, most martial artists pursue many different
			styles. Rather than buy this Skill separately for every different
			form your character knows, you may choose the '''''Well-Skilled Craftsman''''' option to reflect a different style of combat. Someone
			with lots of dots and specialties also has lots of options when
			it comes to kicking ass.

			As suggested above under the '''''Optional Rule: Minimum Abilities''''', a mage who uses martial arts as the practice and/ or
			instrument of her magickal focus should have at least one dot
			in Martial Arts for every dot she has in the highest Sphere she
			uses for martial arts-based Effects. Otherwise, the Effect-Ranks
			she can focus through her martial arts are limited to the dots
			she has in this Ability; a mage with Martial Arts 1, therefore,
			could not focus Rank 2-5 Effects through her martial arts. As
			noted earlier, '''Chapter Ten''' contains details about focus, Sphere
			Ranks, and Effects.

			:••••• -- Master: Formidable master.

			'''Suggested Specialties:''' Soft Style (snake, monkey, drunken style, etc.), Hard Style (tiger, mantis, etc.), Aikido, Judo, Karate, Muay Thai, Kuei Lung Chuan, etc.
