--Description from {{Dragon Quest VII}}</center>

The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Butouka'') is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high {{Agility}}, {{Strength}}, and {{Resilience}}, but low magical capability.

Martial artists have a great amount of {{Agility}} and {{Strength}}. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, and can be equipped with a variety of weapons. However, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in {{III}}, a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her {{Attack}} power will lower considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists have a very limited armor selection, particularly when it comes to shields and headwear. This can be a boon to the party's finances as unlike [[Warrior]]s, it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armor consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement.

The M.A.'s skill Wind Sickles is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the M.A. is required in order to become a [[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]]. The great thing about Martial Artists is that these two classes combine to make a [[Champion|Godhand]]. The Godhand is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the []bonus dungeon]]s.

The '''Martial Artist''' (Monk) vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus". Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn {{Fan}}s, {{Staves}}, {{Claw}}s, and {{Fisticuff}} skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Roaring Tirade," which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.

As mentioned above, a Martial Artist is no more likely to land a [[Critical Hit]] than a character with the same {{Deftness}} stat.
