Martial Arts

Martial Arts is a fighting skill that hails from the New World.

Background
Martial Arts is considered a natural-born fighting style developed by the native inhabitants living in the New World. For unknown reasons, players from YGGDRASIL are unable to instinctively demonstrate any skills in using martial arts without the use of spells from Rank Magic firsthand. This was shown when Ainz uses one of his spells called Perfect Warrior during his fight with Shalltear, enabling him to perform extraordinary feats that seem to have the same effects and look like they are based off martial art skills, but are actually not. Additionally, there were several warriors in the New World from different races rather than magic casters alone, who are already capable enough of using martial skills with their own physical might without the need for magic.

Furthermore, they can practically utilize martial art techniques in unison, so to enhanced their power, resistance, and create more devastating combos, using them in succession as one skill altogether. Nevertheless, it is still possible for other natives such as Hamsuke to be able to learn martial arts over a given period of time, while training oneself. There were also methods, like the one used by Climb, who is able to develop and learn a martial skill in deadly battles, from facing blood lust directly against opponents that are stronger than him. On the other hand, another possible method is the one that Brain uses, where he tries to copy and perfect another user's martial skill himself and adding it into his arsenal.

Mechanics
Martial Arts is a skill that can only be cultivated through intense training. The applications of martial arts are vast, ranging to altering one's physical prowess, strengthening weapons, to even altering another's spatial and temporal awareness.

In terms of acquiring martial skills, it usually takes a novice around a year to achieve. This is through real battle experience, healing when injured, fighting stronger opponent with enhancement magic, etc.

Martial Arts is limited through physical and mental stamina. The more powerful a martial skill physically is, the more mental concentration is needed. However, this would also mean that concentrating too long will fatigued the user's mental and physical stamina overtime.
