====Usefulness====
The M.A.'s skill Wind Sickles is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the M.A. is required in order to become a [[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]]. The great thing about Martial Artists is that these two classes combine to make a [[Champion]]. The Champion is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the [[bonus dungeon]]s.

The M.A.'s hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a [[Dancer]] to do so.
