Alright, so I've gotten to the point where I'm bored so much that I decided to make a new class. Yippeee.
Basic information
The Martial Artist class is from a volcanic island off the shore of Perion. It's tall mountain tops tend to be covered by volcanic ash 98% of the time. Hotsprings are a popular attraction here. The island is called Volcan Bay.
Martial Artists are broken up into two branches: Combat Specialists and Weapon Specialists. As the name implies, Combat Specialists use the feature of a new weapon: Fist and Foot gears. They come in all different types: Firey Set, Spiked Set, etc. As you can imagine, Weapon Specialists can use a variety of weapons. All of them, actually ('cept wands and claws, of course).
The job instructor, Grandmaster Kim, is a very witty fellow. He's spent thousands of years studying martial arts. He knows the way of everything, and ends up being a very tough fight. He resides at the summit of the volcano, Mt. Soo. You can refer to him for training references and such basic stuff that other job instructors give.

Notes:
-If you are wondering why the Weapons Specialist class is so strong, it's because many of their skills are VERY slow, even with booster (imagine slow without booster divided by 2), and many of the skills require cooldown and do not mob.
-Combat Specialists attack very fast (a bit faster than Vipers) and the majority of their moves mob and do not require cooldowns.
-For specific critical inducing moves, the critical rate is always the specific percentage multiplied by two (IE. 200% with 60% critical=400% damage 60% of the time.)
-Combat specialists have many attack increasing moves. The reason for this is their significantly lower damage then Weapons Specialists.
Pros and Cons
Combat Specialists
Pros:
-Very Few Cooldowns
-Many multi-hit moves.
-Many mobbing moves
-Very fast
-A lot of attack increasing skills.
Cons:
-Not very many single hit moves.
-Not nearly as strong as weapons specialists
Weapons Specialist
Pros:
-VERY strong moves, especially Final Strike.
-Tons of single hit moves.
-Overpowers Combat Specialist
-Can use a variety of weapons for the same effect.
Cons
-Slow as molasses

-Very few mobbing moves. Those that do are generally slower than usual.
Inspiration
I take the Martial Art, Tae Kwon-Do, in real life, and got bored one day. I started thinking of ideas for moves and felt like typing them out, so I did. Eventually, I got to this thread, which I have tried to update daily with skills of the new, imaginary job, Martial Artists.
Background on Martial Artists
As stated earlier, the Martial Artists are based on a volcanic island of the northern coast of Victoria Island, named Volcan Bay. Volcan Bay is covered by volcanic ash 98% of the year, making it very dangerous. Only the wise and courageous dare to live here, hence why it's the Martial Artists. The island is also famous for its Hot Springs.
Grandmaster Kim, the job instructor, was on a quest to find a harmonic place to live with his fellow monks, where their humbleness and modesty would allow them to train like no other people. With more people journeying to the island, it is now a very popular tourist attraction and place to train and become a martial artist.
On the island is the volcano, Mt. Soo, which is incredibly active. If you are unfortunate enough to come to the island during which there is an eruption, you will be immediately evacuated. This island would be one of the first places to implement background happenings, such as weather.
There are two ways to get to the islands. The first way is the lazy way: taxi. The other way is somewhat cool. Head to Perion and talk to the NPC, "Master Yun". He will take you to the beginning of a tunnel system. Each tunnel is underwater and has a different background, along with its own map. Each time you change a map, the background and monsters change with it. In all, there are 15 tunnels to pass through to get to the island, and finally, you'll be able to be a Martial Artist.
