Martial Arts vs. Brawling

        Greetings Gang! Hi Bob!

     A question, if I may... How do some of you handle a Martial Arts
skill? I know that a while back there was an article about MA in
either Chall. or Travellers Digest, but I found it a bit confusing. If
I recall the author equated MA skill level with dan rank. This would
seem to suggest that you'd need a skill of 12 to be a beginning black
belt!! I must have missed something and the issue is not available to
me at the moment.
     Or, would the Martial Arts be lumped under Brawling, with
extentions to take care of weapons such as Katana (long blade), etc.?
Have any of you done anything with `ninja-esque' PC's or NPC's?? Do
you break down the skill among things like stealth, blade, brawling,
etc?

     Sure, a FGMP is great... but sometimes ya gotta be subtle....
