Martial arts

Yeah.

So I started martial arts when I was about five years old.

I'm currently 34 years old.

I originally started in Taekwondo, a Chung Moo Kwan style, so ITF.

Absolutely, man.

Absolutely.

So who was your biggest influences in martial arts?

Man, I've had so many.

Well, they did it.

Wizards of the Coast went ahead and just finally fulfilled every single D&D fantasy I've ever had for one single character, a master of martial arts who can throw fireballs.

It's time to do a thorough treatment of the new Way of the Mystic Arts monk and, spoiler warning, yeah, they're an incredibly powerful kung fu spellsword.

Spell fist? Spell fist.

And then for our equipment, all we really need is, like, a quarterstaff or other favorite monk weapon.

We won't necessarily need that weapon until later, so feel free to just punch and kick and elbow for now, though the quarterstaff is a versatile weapon, which means it would do a D8 of damage if we were using two hands for it, right? And until level five, that's more than our unarmed strikes would do, so might be a slightly better option, unless, of course, we wanted to be pushing them via Tavern Brawler, which requires unarmed strikes.

As a monk one then, we get the Martial Arts feature, which says that as long as we are unarmored and unshielded and only wielding monk weapons, which are simple weapons and martial melee weapons with the light property, we get the following benefits.

We can use our martial arts die for the damage of our unarmed strikes and monk weapon attacks, a D6 for now, but scaling up with monk levels.

bit more kung fu.

I think perhaps I'd have to try maybe a little bit more of a Chinese or Japanese variant.

But, yeah, the words that sparked is super interesting, and I love that your clients get that as well because, like, we were chatting about – us as coaches when we work with people versus what AI could write for someone who wants to become a boxer or you know perhaps you bought an online course and you're following a video of some person some probably very good accomplished person teaching you little videos and things like that.

What to you is the main purpose and difference and importance of actually working with one-on-one in a person, in a personal sense?

She has both Team Player and Underworld.

She got Heroes for Hire, Marble Knights, The Hand, Thunderbolts, Assassin, and Martial Arts keywords.

She has a trait, Assassin's Edge, Precision Strikes Stealth.

When Electra rolls a single D6, if she isn't adjacent to a friendly character, increase the result by plus one.

And on his 40 point, he's a 8 flurry, 11 steel energy, 18 super senses, and that same perplex damage power.

I forgot the inherited technique part, didn't I? Same as from Fight for Gotham.

When Iron Fist is KO'd, you may attach his card to an unequipped friendly character with the Martial Arts keyword.

This game, that character can use any technique special power on this card.

嗯。

然后把式呢，是以前，很多以前练武术的人。

嗯。

他们的这个本领，他们的武术可以叫把式。

Why would you want to do that?

Finding martial arts gave me a place where I could be the tough guy.

And you've got a festival on the beach in the prison.

Coastal combat.

And I said to my dad, oh, dad, I want to be able to beat up 10 guys if they attack me and stuff, which is just unrealistic.

And I want to try Kung Fu.

And I think he thought, where am I going to find a Kung Fu class? And he sent me down to a Thai boxing school lied to me told me it was Kung Fu and I didn't know the difference I was just happy to be there and so then I had my first cage fight when I was about 13 years old and then just sort of stuck that out through my teens which was a bit of a wild time and that sort of led me into martial arts really ended up owning a gym and yeah crazy ride really.

Wow and so what's the difference from being in martial arts like sort of fighting and then actually operating a gym and owning a gym?

Nice, nice.

So you said your child got you into martial arts?

Yeah, definitely, yeah.

So he was like a child star in martial arts.

He picked things up very quickly and got scouted by some of the great sensei quite young.

But I was the mom that sat in the crowd that was yelling at him that he got things wrong.

Nice,

nice.
