Martial Artist

Description

Competitive and disciplined, constantly striving for perfection of their skills, martial artists are warriors who see the art of combat not as a means for an end, but as an end in and of itself. With long hours of tiring and painful training, and the will to win every combat they may face, they wander the world seeking opportunities to learn new techniques, improve their skill set, and prove themselves against powerful opponents; martial artists are always ready for a fight.

A Closer Look at Martial Artists

Although martial artists share a love for fighting and the discipline to master a technique, they differ in the paths to perfect the art of combat. Some martial artists follow the path of tradition and try to follow the steps of great masters of old, emulating their technique and keeping the teachings of these ancestors, to someday pass those same techniques to new disciples.

Others prefer not to limit themselves to a single tradition, absorbing the teachings of many different masters and teachings, bit by bit creating an individualized style, carefully crafted by their body and skills. Some perfect the art of fighting through constant brawls, adapting their way of fighting through instinct and letting their reflexes dictate how they fight.

Street Brawler

The best fighting teacher is fighting itself. Street brawlers learn how to fight through experience, after surviving lots and lots of fights. These martial artists learn how to use their bodies and anything they find around in their environment as weapons, and although they lack the refinement of martial artists trained on Dojos, they compensate it with strong punches and a body hardened by constant fighting.

Ancient Arts

You seek the principles of ancient martial arts and devote your training to both internal and external mastery of your art. Your training invariably relies on learning the ancient forms of your style, and sequences of movements developed through generations of masters inside your chosen martial school.

Tactical Warrior

Tactical warriors study their opponents, mastering martial arts through a deep understanding of their techniques, their enemies, and their combat experience. Tactical Warriors have a deep knowledge of the inner workings of each technique and can morph and change such techniques.

Weaponsage

Weaponsages study the weapon-based fighting techniques to aid them in battle and do battle with their foes using their knowledge of weaponry mixed with discipline.

Freestylist

Freestylists learn from teachings of different styles to cover all bases of hand-to-hand combat, and their fighting style shows a balance between striking and grappling techniques, and flow from one range of combat to another with ease. These martial arts are more fluid and seek out their own path when it comes to fighting and perfecting multiple arts.
