What has Outside System Skills have to do with Martial Arts?

Anyway, Martial Arts Sword Skills work just like Sword Skills of any other category - you assume a specific intial motion to trigger the skill and the system takes over handling it.

Non-Sword Skill techniques don't even require Martial Arts. But regular punches and kicks are pretty much useless as they don't really deal a lot of damage like Sword Skill techniques do. The ability to use Sword Skill techniques of that category is one of the main reasons to learn and train a weapon skill.
