Martial arts is a system of fighting. Instead of using heavy armours and weapons, the fighter relies completely on his unarmed fighting capabilities. This skill affects everything related to unarmed fighting. The masters of martial arts are usually people who dedicate their entire lives to art of war and self-discipline. These individuals are often called as monks, because of their ascetic appearance and lifestyle. Year after year these relentless monks punish their body and spirit to achieve a higher enlightenment.

The nature of this art requires lightning fast reflexes and unshakable control over balance. Therefore using any kind of weapon, medium or heavy armour dramatically decreases the performance.

Even the smallest mistakes often backfire fatally, because of minimal protection worn. Therefore this way of fighting requires more training, experience and commitment than any other way.
