Martial arts are controlled.  Different just by the mechanics of the movements.  At fourth lvl (first lvl of Martial artist)  I find that you are capable of doing about the same amount of damage with out brass knuckles.Feats Simple weaponcombat martial artsdefensive martial artstwo weapon fighting2nd lvlpower attack3rd lvlheroic surgePRC living weaponTalents are the same melee and improved melee smash.3 attacks that deal d6's plus 2 for str, plus 2 for IMS.  22 points of dmg max.Both MA and Brawler can do some dmg, I'm not arguing that.  I'm saying that combining the two can get you into trouble.  Why not go for the super man combo of KOP and MA prc?  The idea is balance.  If you combine both it gets crazy.At 6 lvl you could take improved combat MA and improved two weapon fighting.  You would be able to make 5 attacks in one round with a crit range of 19-20.</blockquote>
