Talk:Martial Artist

minor improvments
hay guys sorry to bother you, first off i LOVE this page. anyways i was just thinking maybe on this page somewere (as well as swordsmen) we should mention that "when opposing crews encounter the martial artist/swordsmen tend to face off" (but better worded) cus yeah i mean sanji/zoro fightes all tyhe martial artst/swordsmen of who ever they fight.

arlong fishman kuroobi/hachin, cp9 jyabura/kaku, buggy pirates dont have a martial artist but got cabaji & don krieg didn't have a swordsmen but had gin.

also maybe a seperate section listing known martial arts/swords styles in one piece so black leg, santoryu, fishman karate, okama kenpo, jyabura's kenpo, fencing etc.

and lastly this isn't much but many people on this list althought do fight or use swords are not really like martial artists/swordsmen infact many people on the swordsmen page are just pirates with swords, i mean givin the nature of onepiece thats gona come up alot. and again i thank you guys i love this wiki

Nico Robin?
Could Nico Robin be considered a martial artist? She does use her arms and legs, and now body after the timeskip. Free-style of course.

Revamp or delete
This page makes no sense. The introduction and contents are contradictory; are swordsmen martial artists or not? Theoretically, martial arts are not strictly "fighting techniques without weapons", so they could be. Moreover, while I can see why Okama kenpo and fishman karate are classified as martial arts, including for example Luffy in the martial artists seems far-fetched to me.

It needs a revamping. It should only apply to people who know specific non-weapon fighting styles, like Sanji, CP9, Fishman Karate users, and Okama Kenpo users. I don't consider someone a martial artist because they know how to fight. By that logic, anyone who's taken one self-defense class could be considered a martial artist. 16:06, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Agree with DP. I think if we don't have a named Art for the person's fighting style, then they shouldn't be included here. So that includes getting rid of Luffy, Jaguar, etc, and the reference to Chopper in any form other than Kung-Fu Point. 16:12, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
