[[File:Martial Arts skill icon.png|48px|left]]The '''Martial Artsarts''' [[skill]] is a skill introduced in ''[[The Sims 3 World Adventures]]''. The [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] ''Disciplined'' increases its learning rate.

Sims can train at the ''[[Phoenix Academy]] of Martial Arts'' in [[Shang Simla]]. However, Sims may purchase a [[Sheng Hai Training Dummy|training dummy]], [[Board Breaker]], and books to train at home. Sims get different color belts at different levels, just as real martial artists do., Andand apparently, Sims are using The Black Tiger-Kung Fu (or in this case Sim Fu) style.

At Level 5, Sims may also Meditate to increase the Martialmartial Artsarts Skillskill as well. Meditating for one hour will cause a "''Meditative Focus''" moodlet to appear. The positive moodlet starts with a duration of 15 minutes and increases as the Sim continues to mediate, maxing out at just over 4 hours of focus for around 2.5 hours of meditation; the Sim receives no further focus for continued meditation. If the Sim stops meditating and then restarts, the Meditative Focus moodlet will not begin increasing its duration again until the Sim has continued to meditate for an hour straight. When the Meditative Focus moodlet reaches 4 hours in duration, the Sim will glow with a green aura, levitate, and may choose to "''Zeneport''" to any location on the map, which will remove the focus moodlet and end the meditation. Receiving the ''Master of Meditation'' (MOM) achievementchallenge will also allow the Sim to teleport via ''"Tranquil Transference"'', which can be used at any time the Sim has more than 30 minutes of focus remaining, at the expense of 30 minutes of focus (i.e. 2 hours of focus allows 4 Transferences if no time is wasted between teleports). The animation for Tranquil Transference is nearly instant, as apposedopposed to Zeneport, which required almost a half hour of slowly fading out, then back in, and standing back up. Once MOM is achieved, Zeneport is no longer possible, forcing the Sim to rely on Tranquil Transference. Meditating drains the energy need slightly faster than usual, more faster than regular training with a training dummy or breaking bricks, but a Sim can still do this if they hurt their hand or are tired out from training from other sources.

At level 8, sims will start to focus their chi into their attacks whenwhile sparring and perform some rigorous techniques like a flurry of jumping kicks or throwing a single powerful forceroundhouse kick while airborne. Sims who have reached level 7 in the martial arts skill can teach other Sims as well.

Once a Sim develops their skill to level 1, they are able to spar with other Sims. By choosing the 'Spar' interaction on another Sim, Sims are able to build up their Martial Arts skilland Athletic skills in a friendly training session, which also steadily increases relationship. After reaching level 4 in the skill, they can enter one of Shang Simla's Martial Arts tournaments. To enter a tournament, pick up the phone and choose 'Challenge Spar Tournament Contender'. Now a rival can be chosen and declare a 'Ranked Sparring Match'. After the match, the Sim may even advance a rank!

The [[Mummy|Mummiesmummies]] in [[Al Simhara]] all have their martial arts skill on level 10. Your Sim should learn Martial Arts before they go  to  Al Simhara  to lower the risk of getting cursed by the Mummy.

There are several challenges for Martialmartial Artsarts which your SimSims can complete to unlock rewards.
