outside of PIS/CIS, of course.

Well yeah, Batman and his MA wouldnt do shit against Juggs...so the match ups would have to be kinda fair.

So tell me, do you think Wolverine would be more formidable if he only had skills with his claws and no healing, or healing and claws with no MA?

MA is just one part of his skills.

Sounds about right, it is how you apply it and it enhances your ability (possibly), but it doesn't make the beast by itself.

Herc does know Martial Arts.

Hes a practitioner of Greco-Roman wrestling.

Heh! You couldn't use MA if the mind is not up to the challenge; IE. afraid of getting hit, low confidence, etc..

I agree, but people seem to think MA is only kicks and fancy punches, boxing is a MA.

Where do they say that?

Well mental factors definitely affect fighting capacity, with or without Ma. Which is why MA's get beaten by guys on the streets because they don't play by the same rules.

That they seem to think that MA only applies to kicking and chops etc...

Remember Faora? She handled supes like a child with her skills.

You might not find any MAists beating up polar bears in the real world but in comics.. it wouldn`t even be a high showing for many, even without other powers. The Phantom breaks the necks of lions and tigers all the time. Doom downed one with one strike.

well most people here voted that martial art skills is everything so the majority speaks for itself

'treadmill reflex'?

negates flying?

😐

Now I haven't read that comic, but she says she's as powerful as him *and* a much better *fighter*.

See if they are equally powered then yes skill matters, if they are equally skilled then yes power matters. I'm a MA myself, I believe in tech, but I train speed, strength, and everything else. There is a possibility you will face someone with more of one attribute than them, so why not have the others in your favor?

Also that is an exotic MA, but that's not my point. She can utilize her abilities better. Now would anybody who had learned that art automatically stood up to Superman? I don't think so myself.

plus, iirc, that's pre crisis.

The hell? We have multiple accounts? I left an hour ago and only 1 person voted that. But overall it is still losing to the people who disagree, I was just trying to specify what I meant if people thought MA was or wasn't the end all and be all of skill.

I personally think polls are useless on KMC
